Just because YOU cannot find a use for them in YOUR life DOES NOT make them "useless." Just don't use them. FACT: A phone with as many features as the Samsung Galaxy S5 has WILL ALWAYS be better than one that has similar features and no swappable battery. FACT: More choices/options ARE ALWAYS BETTER than fewer (even if YOU, PERSONALLY, don't make use of those choices/options).

      Apple is currently copying Android gesture controls, side menus, security systems, LTE, wireless data transfer, panoramic photography feature, screen size, smartwatch concept and the fingerprint scanner isn't new concept.

      IOS isn't bug free nowadays. iPhones still have small batteries which can't carry enough power for the entire day for most users.

        S5 is similar to its predecessor, S4 full of plastic craps!
        Packed with tons of impractical and useless features!
        But charged users at premium price.

            The only reason I favor Samsung is because of its services.

            They have wide range of people who can deal with problems with the phones, that means also more people buying that phone because of that reason.

            Samsung has wide range of covers and accessories. which is more appealing to buy.

            Samsung has Samsung kies service. which is the best technology ever.

            Samsung may not have the best reputation, but still better reputation than lg or Motorola.

            Samsung overall is easy to use and handle. and always the first to put out the new ideas and innovation, which other companies lack and slow.

            Samsung is the first to be updated in terms of android and other issues. and it always have the best tech comparing to others

              They caught Samsung bribing sales analyst companies to make them look like they sell way more than they do so this could probably be another lie from Samsung

                    Im upgrading my galaxy nexus to an HTC M8. GS5 comes with too many useless features. Some of them are nice but a lot of them are just crap. A baby monitor?? really?? While the M8 has more of a stock android feel and generally only adds to android, not tries to replace it.

                              I don't you intended to buy one in the first place. I've used before phones and HTC One (M8) was better in every area.

                                    100 of people, don't make me laugh. In London Samsung store 125 Oxford St, the store only sold 13 handsets by 7pm. Most of the surrounding stores sold around 5 handsets. I know this because I work in the industry.

                                    The paid EE stores £400 to get pre orders and the rest.

                                        the only thing wrong with Samsung S5 is the plastic cover ? no actually thats a big advantage to the phone, and please guys! do u need a premium look of the phone or a premium flip cover? coz all of us buy a phone then cover it somehow into something.
