08 April 2014
Every time the Samsung Galaxy S counter flips a digit, the world is getting ready to be amazed. The lineup that stood up to the iPhone and has been pulling Android to the very top of the food chain, is under new leadership effective last month...

A person who is still stuck with 3 year old model cant say anything about the latest technology. And for your kind information, S5 is the strongest of all galaxy S series. Wake up dude you are in 2014 not in 2010.

It's not the design that makes another person jalous of what you got .And it's certainly not the phone that will make you hot . haha dude buy clothes instead of a phone

              I wonder if S Voice will work through Bluetooth so I can actually use it as intended. That's one of the most annoying features on the S4.....it renders S Voice useless

                However, in this case, the three devices cost almost the same.. S5 will sell the most because it is either like buying a Samsung S5 because they don't know any other product.. or carrier doesn't sell the other two or.. Because it sells the most by their beloved Samsung..

                    Not a badly designed phone but rather monotonous...

                      No doubt the camera is better, but apart from that there is no great leap in hardware of software that will make a real difference to user experience. But as always Samsung delivers good product. Where to from here is the question - another leap in video quality, ho hum, a few new sensors, hmmm. What about improving security, now that would be useful on an Android device that leaks like a sieve.

                          I held the SGS5 yesterday at the nearest samsung outlet in Mumbai, India. I must say the screen is great, the camera seemed to be alrightish ( I expected more) the clicked images seemed to be flat without no distinguishing factors between foreground and background. India gets the adreno octal-core version which was another blow to samsung fans in india(at least for me). The Fingerprint sensor is ordinary and suboptimal and the same goes with that gimmicky heart rate monitor. ABSOLUTE RUBBISH I MUST SAY. The worst of them all was the build quality. It felt like a light flimsy plastic toy. I own a Galaxy s2 ever since its been launched it did feel better than the SGS5 honestly. I am really disappointed with samsung. Whats the point if you have a great screen and waterproof body. if it feels like you can crush it with your palms. I don't know maybe its just me but its an honest opinion. Samsung you better get yourself rounded up. you'll lose customers like me who have the power to afford high end phones but doesn't see quality for money.

                              I'm glad I kept well away from the S5 handset after playing with my friends S5 it feels jerky, too plastic and cheap. I previously had the Samsung S4 and I will never ever go back to Samsung again in a million years I've just purchased the HTC M8 it's the best handset I've ever had and that includes the iPhone 5. The S5 isn't much of an upgrade to the S4 and the touchwiz is really bad and takes up too much internal space.

                                the volume rocker serves as a shutter key when taking pics :-)
