    I think s5 is a disaster phone. S series should be betwren 4.5 and 5 inches. Si 5.1 is too big and not handy i reolaced my s5 with s4 9500 because i know if u want A big phone so buy note series and a medium size ohine si go for s series and to support my ooinion samsung now make s6 5 inches same size to s4 but ligher and thinner with 5 inches so s5 is a massive dissaoointment for me.. but i have to say that s5 is a good phone but believe me between s4 and s5 just littel overclock the cpu not morem okay water resistant and finget print is a huge difference but thousanfs of orople suffered from the damage of front camera when the phone putted in water.. and finger print is not comfortable u cant use it with one hand like iphone... so 2014 is a disaster year to s series and from this samsung quickly oroduce galaxy alpha with small size. So i think 2015 will be a good year to samsung after s6 but still 3GB ram is not enough for 64 bit cpu.

          King W, 03 Feb 2015Why is S6 has a smaller screen than the S5 coz, S5 5.1"... moreWhat if I say that both S4 and S5 are the same phone.

          S5 is nothing but a ugly version of S4 with add ons like Finger print and water resistant.

          poor ergonomics wen compared to S4 leather edition !!

          S5 = Grand 3 sad but True !!

                      Hi all,

                      I updated my s5 to lollipop few days back out of curiosity. First, there is no huge difference in the interface, KitKat was just doing fine. Secondly, The 'MUTE' option is gone which is pretty annoying. If you are having a conversation and the phone is in your hand, it keeps vibrating on every message. At times I wanted to put it to completely mute. Instead they have give option of setting 'Vibration Intensity'. But for that you have to go to Settings and change every time. Pretty annoying for me.

                      One more thing, after update, my battery got drained in just 9 hours, with nearly no usage at all. Did a factory reset and turned off all 'Analytical Data Sending' features, Now its back to normal.

                      Lastly, loads of space is utilized by OS. So you don't really see much space to play around.

                      Rest all is ok.
                      Nothing special.

                      I think, KitKat people shall wait for a stable Lollipop update because downgrade is not possible without voiding the warranty.

                      The phone is awesome indeed.

It will solve most of the problems after update like battery life & lag! Battery will drain quickly after updating to lollipop and factory reset. Do a couple of full charges (0% to 100%) 10-15 times then it will be normal!

                                        Anonymous, 02 Feb 2015Don't be fooled by the "wireless changing" claim ... moreYes, wireless charging feature is optional and should be written as it in specs (same for S4). But for 40$ you don't get only the back cover Qi enabled but also the charging plate.

                                        To those interested, the Qi back cover makes the phone a bit thicker (overall thickness gets same as the camera) and i'm not sure but it only exists in black.
