            So far, my colleagues and friends are waiting for Z2, none waiting for S5.

But LG3 is first on my list, S5 being last. S5 seems to be a failure in every aspect of features, design and manufacturing. They should scrap it and launch S6 right now.

                  I will be worried about QC issues.

                  Will they cut some corners to maximize product availability?? It's anybody's guess.

                    Samsung was never good on cameras, not on smartphones or real cameras. They were always ok but never impressive, always being beaten by Nikon, Canon and Fuji when they did film cams or digital cams and always being beaten by Sony and Nokia on cameraphones and smartphone cameras. They even reached for Sony modules to have better cams so I reserve myself the right to doubt of this new Samsung isocell cam until I actually see it compared to Z2 and Lumia 1020 and see the proof that it is actually better.
                    Don't forget a good cameras has more to do with art and craftsmanship than pure tech specs.

I purchased the G2 after having had all kinds of issues with my Galaxy S4. And I can honestly say that the device has really exceeded my expectations.

                            An absolute stunner of a smartphone and to me still the best value for money if you want an Android powerhouse.

                              I dont think this will be a problem. There seems to be less interest in the S5 and more towards the HTC One and Z2 which both match that of the S5 and have far better build qualities.

                                    Buy an LG G2 ,beautiful,big and quality 5,2'' screen on a smaller screen-to-footprint ratio than the S5 (S5 has a slightly smaller screen, 5,1'' on a bigger body) ,an excelent 13mp camera,whic also has OIS , lower price, and overall you will have the same high-end android smarthphone experience.

                                        Would be nice if they could:

                                        Bring Back the FM Radio -
                                        Introduce Dual SIM function
                                        have all LTE Frequencies available

                                        who would want that as well ?

                                        cheers !
