    I hope they do a full review by comparing both the GalaxyS5. [Samsung Galaxy S5 (octa-core) & Samsung Galaxy S5 G9009D ],,,this would be very helpful to understand the difference since all the phones r compared with the galaxy which is using Snapdragon 801.

      What firmwares are in these phones? My guess is they used old ones. I think with the latest firmwares the battle would be better.

                        Sony is the worst out of the 4 Android flagships. For Android, go for either Samsung or HTC. The only good thing about Sony are their midrangers.

                          Seriously, that 20MP is useless when you are forced with mediocre 8MP most of the time. The ugly bezel and thick chin didn't help at all.

                                    Personal preference is fine and it's not a dramatic win...But preferences aside and technology facts the S5 still has the overall upper hand.

                                        Nin factual bias claims are different. Glass is still CHEAP RECYCLABLE material at the end of the day. Poly Carbonate is no slouch and overall the most durable and practical of the three common materials.
                                        And quality over quantity has nothing to do with either the devices here unless you are a jealous fanboy.
