MWC 2014: Samsung Galaxy S5, Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo, Fit hands-on

24 February 2014
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is official - and it's not what we expected. Rumors got a few details right, but not the whole picture, obviously. After so many updates and sequels to the S4, it's...

AnonD-73765, 26 Feb 2014Well, I'm ALMOST CERTAIN that Samsung's gonna launch a more... moreSamsung said in their conference that they listened to what customers want! Well, of course they didn't! They've been offering their so-called flagships with only 16 GB memory for ages! This is 2014 and it's already been high-time that we'd moved to at least 128 GB internal memory (it's another story that even 32GB is elusive 4 Samsung)! I don't much care about the UHD screens n medical crapware gimmick or bloated screen sizes! However, I do care about memory, storage and battery life! These most essential of things have always been left out by Samsung n other manufacturers! Are there no phone makers who really listen to what people want?? At least (Cr)Apple offers it's users the option of 64GB, even though they charge an arm and a leg for it and there's no expansion choice. SD cards are fine,but, internal memory is lot more important. I've been holding off for a long time to buy a flagship,but, all the phone makers keep disappointing with d same bigger n bigger rectangular slabs every year with absolutely no improvement in d most vital specs.

    Why oh why is the phone much larger than its predecessor! just when I had the debate over S4 and Z1 and S4 leading by portability this disappointing thing comes out. oh well it is smaller than the z2 so...

      Well, I'm ALMOST CERTAIN that Samsung's gonna launch a more premium (pricier) version of the S5, call it Galaxy F or whatever! All the swirling rumors wouldn't survive without a kernel of truth in 'em! As with everything else, Samsung r following/copying (Cr)Apple's 2-pronged approach. This S5 is the equivalent of the Iphone 5C. Samsung, despite all their apparent idiocracy, aren't such d fools to be hedging their bets with this run-of-the-mill offering which in more ways than one is a downgrade from the S4. I think this is just a prelude to their main flagship launch. If that isn't d case, well then I really gotta say "Whoa Samsung, are u goddamn serious??". Mr. Crook (Cook) would be chuckling as would good ol' Jobs from up above! Lol!

                    Hi fan boys and girls.

                    Google is the reason why s5 is not what we expected. I know people don't take their time to read.

                    and know d truth behind s5...


                    Google is a boring and jealous of samsung as nexus line is not doing well, when tizen is ready android will die.

                    Time will tell

                      If u don't read u won't know. The s5 has all d features of the s4. The only disappointment is the 2gig ram it came with....

                      Tired of seeing people talking trash about a device they haven't used. Every manufacture has it fan. Take it or leave it.

                        I was expecting a design similar to lg G2 but Samsung disappointed me its body is big compared to its display size . LG G2 has best design among all flagship so go for it.

                              It's wast of time. Better we can choose best other brands. Samsung it's just copy other ideas and fail.

                                The S5 does not have a temperature and humidity sensor like the S4 has.

                                    Sadly it is an Apple carried disease that had spread over to Samsung now. Same designs & mediocre improvement but still selling like hotcakes
