Design - average, looks like S2

Battery - simply too small

Bezels - too big

Performance - upper midrange today, 2013 flagship grade

Details - useless heart rate sensor, decent camera, pointless nano sim, good fingerprint sensor. No waterprof, big mistake


Verdict: dull iPhone rival which will fail

      Yes Sir, It looks like another Samsung. Excellent hardware but would be nice to hire a design expert.

              This is Apple's iPhone 6 (4.7" version) clone which has 4.7" display with with ugly removal plastic back cover.

              Next Galaxy Beta that will have size 5.5" which is similar to iPhone 6 (5.5" version).

                I really don't get what the fuss is all about with metal. My element case is far superior to any metal frame.

                                        Looks like the Galaxy S2 instead of being related to the Galaxy S5,its the Price that Samsung Value this new phone to decide wether it will be succesful,as thats one of the Reasons why Samsungs sales have not been to Good by Over Pricing there Phones,when there are other Android phones that can Preform on Par or better than theres,Just can"t wait to See what Price the iPhone 6 will be when released by Apple as they used to get away over pricing there iPhones,but with economy not being so good,they might make alot of consumers switch away from the iPhones this Time if to Expensive
