It would be super-snappy if they don't put touchwiz on top. Still its going to be powerful.

    I think Samsung have a serious identity crisis.

    You want to be jack of all trades? Fine. But that won't get you into the same space as Apple, ever.

      Anonymous, 01 Aug 20141500ma is maximum input power, not battery capacity. it say... moreOh good, it makes sense now, i thought my eyes deceived me (and they kind of did). Didnt know Samsung labeled rated current on their batteries, nominal voltage is common and i seen some manufacturers labeling max charging voltage. And that brings me to the voltage of this one, 3.85 is above the standard and points to a high power density, too high for the good of the battery lifespan.

        The exynos 5433 isn't the SoC on this device. The benchmark clearly showed that it was meant for the Note 4. Also, the Exynos 5433 has a Mali-T760 GPU whereas, this phone has a Mali-T628 GPU. The SoC on this device is mostly the Exynos 5422

                          No micro sd in a flagship is a failure. Metal material but guaranteed to look like all the other boring Samsung devices. May as well wait for the nexus 6 which will have similar specs and definitely a 1080p screen at the very least. That said performance will be blistering with it only having a 720p screen.

                                    It's gonna be tough to pick what to buy this September. Galaxy Alpha, Galaxy Note 4, Moto X+1, Xperia Z3 Compact, a mini model of the Lumia 930... dang.

In that sense, we've got Apple to thank for Samsung coming up with a premium design/material phone.

                                        All of this is leading to better competition - which is a win for everyone.
