Please research more because ever since the S4 and Note 3, Samsung has divided the S series and Note series into 2 kinds each.

                      WHAT A BIG LET DOWN BY SAMSUNG moving over to HTC due to going back to basics, not interested in gimmicks anymore and half the time it's not needed.

                          htcccccc, 28 Mar 2014HTC one m8 is much better!So tell me why is much better? Because it has metal body and you think is better or what? S5 has faster cpu, better camera, better battery. Stop trolling

                            Samsung Galaxy is very minor upgrade over the S4 and it has the same lame design, plasticky feel, laggy UI and same overheating Exynos processor and no 4G band 2300 Mhz TD LTE support for Indian market with such a huge price tag. Samsung truly sucks. I hope the US government doubles or triples the penalty for Samsung which has to be paid to Apple. At least, Apple provides us Indians global products.

                                      I agree with that that s5 has very few improvements, but it has more than what xperia z2 has over z1.

                                        PEOPLE!!! dont fight!!.. if u ask me tho, id rather stick to the nexus 5, nothing worth 600$ will be much better than what ull get from the nexus 5... actually until snapdragon 805 phones start showing, or even nvidia k1 (if the battery life "issue" everyone is wondering about isnt actually one), nothing will get u a better feel than a nexus :)

                                        But hey, if u love the brand, what can i say? Plus i think the s5 looks way better than the 4, and snapdragon 600 to 801 is quite a leap, so it is worth the upgrade for sure.
