    Samsung are very poor in rolling out the updates.
    And also it ditches the previous flagships with the arrival of the new flagships in both price point and updates.

            My first post to you was solely about the integrity of the g5 build quality, which you claimed was better than the s7. You took offense at that and decided to attack me. You decided to pretend you were talking about some other flagship from a long time ago.

            Good day. Take your nonsense to someone else because at this point I can honestly say I've had enough, especially with you now saying that you don't know anything about what we were initially talking about. That literally told me everything I needed to know.

              You could've asked for clarification but didn't. You took insult to your precious Samsung.
              I never commented on the integrity of the G5 as I haven't had a good look at it yet, however I have had looks at the G3 and G4 and know they're better built than any S series phone in recent years.
              You even had another member squash your 'claims' about integrity who knows about them, so I wasn't going to get involved in that. You over exaggerated the poorness of the G5's build. Calling it 'cheap Chinese' when, actually, even the cheap Chinese phones rival the top makers (including your precious Samsung) for build now.

              P.S. your use of 'lol' has lowered any respect I had for your knowledge of the English language something chronic.

You never said anything about the magic slot because you know its a well documented fact that it had ruined the integrity of the device. I even gave you a link that had a poll.

                  Yesterday I learned that you really can't talk to Samsung fanboys.
                  Today I've learned that you 'forget' your arguments each time you're proven wrong and move to the next (magic slot? build quality?) and focus on one thing that actually; 1) doesn't actually matter. 2) Could have been solved yesterday by talking instead of fanboying and arguing. 3) you apparently think there's only one use of each word.
                  I've had enough now to be honest.
                  I apparently didn't make it clear enough and you responded in typical fanboy fashion. Done.

                    You said it in present tense. In the present, Samsung's flagship is the s7.

                    You learn something new everyday eh? ;-)

                      The generalization 'is their flagship' fits perfectly well in the English language for my meaning and at the end of the day you were the one who got hot and bothered, if you didn't agree with it all you had to say was, 'I believe you're incorrect because...' but you didn't. You just went full fanboy. And got shot down.

A newer 3300mah battery is likely to be released as soon as the tech is certified, a subwoofer is also in the works with a more powerful speaker , as a attachment. The screen does not bend like cheap chinese phones, I have it here, it is gorilla glass 4 just like the samsung, it has superior in built launcher, far better camera and is smooth as silk in operation, the screen isnt as bright, and the appearance doesnt have the wow factor like the edge, but the edge is a fragile piece of kit, you cannot use it naked for fear of shattering...the a5 is a lovely build however, but again spoilt with a fragile glass back..and another smudge magnet..chip is painfully slow and stutters under pressure, but battery life is awesome...i think the G5 overall is possibly the best phone this year, the 135 camera is a huge feature...i am only posting this because i am fed up of the stpid hate comments about the g5 modular concept and its implementation...many things wrong with the S7 that are overlooked by fanboys...

                                      Of course I dislike it. But as I said, that was only part of the problem. The device had many other faults as I mentioned.
