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...

Personally I think that the gear fit is the best thing Samsung released this MWC

    I am a samsung fan. Sorry samsung, i don't think s5 is beautiful. I don't care about plastic or metal or speed but at least give us something worthy of a flagship device.

    Weird back cover, bizzare color choice, very dull front face. And on top of that, you give us the same old TouchWiz icons.

          Samsung galaxy S3 -- Comment about GS3 at launch.
          “There's no point in skirting around the fact that the GS III can be deflating when you first look at it. That's partly because its rounded corners and glossy finish make the phone look more mainstream and less, well, edgy than the Galaxy S II, but also because the handset still bears so much physical affinity to its predecessors.”
          The reality - Samsung Galaxy S3 hits 30 million sales, 10 million in the last two monthsThe latest statistics from research firm Strategy Analytics peg Samsung's Galaxy S3 as the world's most popular smartphone model, holding 10.7 percent of the global smartphone market in the third quarter.

          Samsung Galaxy S4: Jack of all trades, the king is dead, long live the king. I started to review the Samsung Galaxy S4. ... S Voice sucks is just trash, S Translator is just retarded very bad
          The reality - The answer is a whopping 40+ million units! One month after its release, the S4 topped 10 million units sold, and managed to reach the 30 million mark in four months after its launch. World-wide, there currently are more than 40 million Galaxy S4 units out and about. These figures are quite impressive.

          Known design, known features, known plastic...again??? It's frustrating that they are not learning from the previous models. I'm not going to buy this phone because I hope their sales go down on this one.

              AnonD-90736, 25 Feb 2014No I don't think so, SGS5 does not have a better camera, pl... morethe screen has a mode which lets u adjust every aspect of the screen
              saturation is controllable too+ the sunlight contrast ratio is one of the best in the market

                Please tell me where the hell is the camera button? How can you shoot pictures under water if there is no camera button cause I aint seeing none camera button?

                      Doesn't Samsung Galaxy S5 come with a Qualcomm 801 Snapdragon chipset as well as does Sony Xperia Z2? I'm confused with this article.

                        I'll go for NOKIA LUMIA 1520. S5 is a BIG FAIL i think. Now its time to choose Nokia or Windows phone. No more Samsung. :P

                          As I anticipated, it's really DISAPPOINTING. LG G2 and even S4 is still better than this S5 design wise. What more if LG releases the G3. I bet it will take over that spot Sammy holds. Not an Apple fan here. I am even using the old good Galaxy Nexus and S5 will definitely not my next phone... #respect

                            Everybody crying about Design-Design... I think all the companies are sticking to their old designs.--Apple, Sony, LG etc. Only HTC has changed their designs..
                            And with S5, we see a little change in design.-Its more like S2.. Much nicer..

                              I work in retail. 1 things fot sure, wont be recommending this phone over LG, Sony or even the S3.
                              S5 - fail.

Plus... moreNo I don't think so, SGS5 does not have a better camera, please have a look at some of the pictures taken with LG GPro 2, they are some of the best around. Secondly, there is hardly any difference between the s800 and s801 chips, you're clutching at straws, thirdly the LG has a much better screen than the over saturated super amoled screen, so tell me in what way the SGS5 is better than the LG G Pro 2, and water proofing is actually a bad thing to have, it has caused alot of problems for the Sony Z Ultra users than good. Also the Pro 2 will have the best speakers around, also OIS+ which as we all know Samsung still doesn't have. Let's see the Sammy fanboys come out and defend this dull boring SGS5.

                                        Disappointed in the new Galaxy. I expected same size, better hardware, but we get same thing but with a better camera (at least HDR mode on photos provided). Others specs didn't impress and I don't like the new design. Boo.
