Still anyone's guess at this point. The Galaxy Tab S line only recently got their updates (and they are still rolling out on the numerous variants of those products) so it may be a while. Personally I'm still trying to be optimistic about it, but I'm not expecting any earth shattering improvements.

Even slight differences in hardware require testing though. Larger screen resolution and different cameras in the Note 3 and Note 12.2 are enough to cause 2 testing paths. Note 3 sales were presumably way higher than the 12.2 so that must take priority. My experience with Samsung is to wait a good long while before taking a firmware upgrade from them anyway.

It'll take a while. Most of the larger-market Note 3's don't have 5.0, and they have identical hardware. Seems 5.0 has been put on hold for anything without a 6 in the device name, to prevent them impacting the S6 sales.
It's not that...there are problems ( I guess from google or qualqomm) with lollipop. I own also note edge 915FY and despite the fact that has the same hardware as 915F it has not been updated to 5.Even the S6 with 5.0.2.has an update before lounching....
The S5 has 2 or 3 updates after initial release of lolipop...
I just hope that note pro will get anytime an update to lolipop

It has that as well, yes. From Google. Bluetooth connectivity, crashing Contacts, WiFi issues, general instability and memory leaks. But holding off an update to stimulate sales for the new product is a tried and true business method that they've been using since the S2.

The second S5 Lollipop update was required because most users couldn't use their device properly after the first update, which was put on hold after the first week.

at this point I'd appreciate a decent non official Lollipop build...
I already updated 2 Tab Pros to Lollipop UK version., OH4 I flashed over the Kitkat NK1, all apps and settings still retain.
UK version for Europe, there're more languages than US version.
OH4 = Version 4 Released on August (H) 2015 (O).
