With lollipop near the launch OEMs are working to get their skins on top of the stock Android. Every OEM has their unique skin which makes their device UI look different than other OEMs Samsung runs touchwiz on top of Android which is heavily customized with many visual elements. This is one of the reason why Samsung releases the updates late after the stock android had been released.
But this time Google launched the preview nearly two months ago so which gave a lot of time to start working on their skins. Samsung has already started to make touchwiz more materialistic.
sammobile teased a video running earlier builds of android lollipop. The previous built lacked any animations it was very basic and it was slower than the KitKat firmware for GS5.
The second build looks very smooth there is much less lag as compared to KitKat and the memory management is already better. The dialer, phone, contacts, message, clock etc are also updated. It also brought a ton of new features and added many animations which were missing in the previous firmware

Sammobile recently posted a video featuring the android lollipop running on Samsung galaxy S4 which looks very similar to the S5 build.
The firmware for S4 still has lots of bugs like WiFi doesn't work etc. The builds will be updated and new elements will be added, modified or replaced with the Google's new material guidelines.
