I used to be Samsung number one fan but I dumped them because of discrimination in their distribution.

      Plus the display and camera of the S5 are some of the most expensive there are.

          Sapphire will only feature on the top end units with 64gb memory, supply is too limited

            Mostly for the iPhone 6 or for the amazing LG G3! ???????

              Well since the release of Iphone 4 Apple hasn't been that revolutionary anymore! A lot of consumers follow the Apple brand like domestic sheep and pay a lot of money for it.

              LG G3, Oppo find 7 and One + One are better options if you ask me!

                With that skyhigh price tag it`s no suprise that S5 is not selling well . You can buy better handsets , Z2 , G3 , M8 , Find 7 , One+ with lower price tag , and awesome functions and great cameras !

                        S5 is not the best phone in the market, I will never buy Samsung again. (I use S3 in the past)
                        the cost performance the best is Nexus 5,
                        LG G3 is wonderful but Iphone 6 is not available yet.

                        in my opinion I do not thing customer who like android never go to IOS.

                          I don't think it's got anything to do with iPhone.
                          Hype is gone and summer holiday season it's probably not the best time for selling phones.
                          Btw who is considering iPhone instead G5?

                            Many of the phones Samsung has shipped simply were used as demo phones, they are everywhere but are not sold. Samsung king of marketing, G3 king of phones.

Samaung knows very well how they now sell and i guess they noticed drop in their sales and usually sales arent just going strong again so its better lowering shipments.

                                This has nothing to do with the iPhone 6 anticipation (what anticipation? Apple didn't say anything so far!).
                                The Galaxy S5 is just "meh" , so after a normal start (far from being stellar) it settles at a lower level. And the lg G3 is a better choice.
