I think I read somewhere Android 5 has few memory leaks, could that be a part of the problem?

Tsunade_Hime such bacon. wow
I thought 5.0.1 with some phones had memory leaks but 5.0.2 should have fixed the issue? And honestly I wouldn't find that a "defect", more like a software issue.

This might be wrong, but did i read that android 5.0 could be run on a phone/tablet with only 512mb of memory, can imagine the memory leak problem on a 512mb device.

Yes John, Android 5 was advertised to work with 512MB only, however I would imagine this would be for 32bit version, I think S6 has 64 bit version, I'm not sure but maybe there could be some differences, since 64 bit is brand new. But the thing is, if you have persistent memory leaks it doesn't matter how much memory you have, it will just take longer, if you have more, to show up. -
There was one major leak in 5.0.1, had to do with RAM management directly. 5.0.2 patched that up. But there are several other leaks that are part of the background processes and inactive apps.
5.1 is supposed to fix those leaks. -

This is why TouchWiz is bad. Case and point.
Plus, why Samsung is messing with Android so deeply escapes me. It can be done so much more simple and still have your signature features. Just look at Sony's Lollipop builds for the Xperia devices. It's quite amazing. -

I'm still awaiting 5.0 for my Z3V, it's fast and clean (UI perspective). The actual Rom has alot of Verizon crap on it, but it runs smooth. -
That being said, I'm glad I made the switch to my HTC when I did. Sense is really starting to look a lot better so many other android UI options out there. -

My Z3V has ~1.5 GB used, and 1.2 GB free.
And both are on Kitkat, 4.4.4 for my Z3V and 4.4.2 for my Note tablet.
Actually I found TouchWiz used to be WORSE as phones from 3-4 years ago had half if not a quarter of the memory they have now, and TouchWiz was actually worse. I found 2.3 to be pretty bad on my old Blaze 4G. -
