      Sorry disagree had a S5 and it was so laggy. It may have come first. But i got a iphone 6, and its so much better. The camera is equal to S5. The Iphone 6 is so underated.

      So the Iphone 6s will be amazing, and show the world how to build a real Smartphone no lagdroids here.

        Samsung Galaxy S 5 The Best # 1

          Nailed it!!

          The hype that's been created by Apple and Samsung is settling down. It should be a great learning for them that they can't force users to change their experience and expectation just to own a device.

          LG's user experience and practicality is rock solid. They have logic in everything they did with LG G generation.

                          Those that believe the S5 is the best phone need to wake up to themselves. The S6 blows it away in every aspect.

                          Much better camera, much faster memory, higher resolution screen. Those that are complaining about lack of waterproof don't knwo anything it was NEVER f eature you even wanted until it got taken away and now you're all crying over it. No.

                          The lack of additional memory. I had a 32GB SD card and 16GB on my S4 never used it all still had a total of 8GB left and it was never filled.

                          Got the 128GB on a contract and I've only used 25gb. I've got 2 full 1080p movies on it too.

                          Goobas!

                            My wife has the s5 and she loves it. The battery life is pretty good and the size is good. I went with the note 4 and am very happy with what I have.

                              Or we could wait for Note 4's price to reduce, by then we might just see S5's price decrease even MORE! Then we could talk healthy sales numbers after that

                                S5 is the most efficient and with some ruggedness. Phone for real men.

                                  What phone was fourth? We have a winner (S5), equal second (LG G4 & G3), and equal 5th - where's fourth?

And it'll LOOK and feel amazing. The camera will be completely flush (perhaps even a tiny bit recessed). And the slightly added weigth makes it more stable in hand and better (thicker plastic) makes it a much more high-quality device. Not to mention the joy of wireless charging.

                                      Samsung should have delivered the S5 with that wireless charging back from the beginning instead of that cheap paper-thing flimsy backcover. Then a lot less people would have been complaining about the S5's design.

                                        Samsung did a superb job with the Galaxy S5 but just let the Build of the Phone down,and the Critics jumped on Samsung because of this,this made Samsung start Project-Zero on the Galaxy S6,but to Consumers let the Galaxy S6 down with No Micro Sd Card Slot or Removable Battery,Just because Samsung never thought about its Galaxy phone uses,but had the iPhone 6 in there Minds,and they knew because they were Supplying for Apple again,No Court case Between the Two companies would Happen,So Glad i Switched to Note 4 instead of the Galaxy S6 after Galaxy S5,Will Samsung do the same with the Note 5 they will lose a lot of consumers if no micro sd card slot or removable battery
