I guess, Samsung Galaxy S5 plans have changed. They are going to use LCD display

    AnonD-12118, 07 Jan 2014Ignorant! thankfully not many are like you, which why sa... moreExactly. Others excel at one or two things.
    Samsung excels at the best package and still takes the lead in a couple categories.
    Screen is hands down dominated by Samsung.
    Faster chips, memory/nand chips, ram. Samsung. 70% of the worlds smartphones use Samsung chips. Even other products like Sandisk memory cards are Samsung internals. Need we mention Iphones, Ipods, Ipads, and Macbooks? Even Macbrook retina displays. Once Samsung stopped making them forums were filled with complaints.

    The offer fastest chips, best displays, most functions and features, best cameras aside from Nokia. Even make better use of Sony's sensor...And before you cry Z1...Galaxy Camera.
    They lead in ergonomics. Always have removable battery and sd slot. Even on their water proof version. Now that was cool.It was plastic with removable battery and still had flash. And their devices are still generally thinner.
    And nothing can top the Note 3. And even the S600 version of the S4 still has a better packaged deal than most of the newer S800 devices just for the above reasons.

          AnonD-119978, 06 Jan 2014Best camera Nokia, best screen LG, best battery life Nokia ... moreSamsung Amoled screen with adaptable modes is the best display in the world only beaten by size factor of larger screens or Amoled Tv. LCD tech is left in the dust.
          And Design is entirely preference...Sony to me only looks good from the back with it's big bricky design.

          Nokia is genrelly very great with camera, but for some reason their 20mp PureView with OIS was nearly beaten by Samsung's 13mp, no pureview, no OIS.

          Samsung may not be the top in ever category, but they are very high up there and offer more than anyone.

                    will be good to have to models - one with FHD/2K resolution and another one with 1280x720 (this would be a real king in terms of battery performance).

                        stop insulting samsung. Samsung smartphones have the best cameras (htc ultrapixel sucks), best battery life, removable battery (lg,htc,google does not), expandable memory. Let alone iphones.

                                      Given Samsung likes to use it's own parts for their devices. I highly doubt that Sharp will be making displays for Samsung anytime soon

                                      And I like AMOLED it makes the screen little more saturated than others, but I guess thats more about how they calibrate the display
