the phone samsung galaxy S5 was good but the battery life was a big disappointment for normal use its only six hours or half day even you charge it full so the specifications for the battery was a big lie...eryone hate this because everyone has a unit experienced this..

KinG, 11 Jan 2015Ugly cheap-looking heavy expensive phone...no wonder sales ... moreYour comprehension may be limited. The S5 is water and dust resistant and had the best display of any phone until the Note 4. As far as low selling, it is the second best selling phone in the world in 2014, so Samsung are doing fine.

Ugly cheap-looking heavy expensive phone...no wonder sales of S5 are low.
How the biggest phone company would dare to launch such a phone is beyond my comprehension...
A smaller Note 4 would have been better. Hope S6 will bring something new but i doubt it...

Awaiting S6 but this too i reckon will have pentile display..I would rather have S6 with 1080p super amoled plus display rather than QHD pentile.
P.S. I remember your name from past. :)

The S5 is an outstanding smartphone from the smooth operation to the camera (camera is really outstanding) but I have one little gripe, the display. Yes it looks sharp and vibrant but the trouble is I have a S2 as well. The colours on the S2 looks more vivid, more colorful...I guess due to it having a Super AMOLED Plus screen (only member of the Galaxy S family to have it). Even with the S2's resolution being less than HD, I still feel it over the S5 Full HD screen. I have put both phones side by side and gone through the various display modes and in each mode viewing the same image/same video clip and the S2 looks more vivid to me. I know the S5 screen is a better overall screen but you can see the difference between the S2 RGB compared to the S5 pentile matrix.
Does anybody else share the same view as me? Is anybody else feeling the S2 screen over the S5?

AnonD-348981, 09 Jan 2015So in response to my earlier post.
I was actually workin... moreI wonder what would happen if someone brought a claim against Samsung? proving it all would be nightmare. The only way round this is what i do and don't believe hype or manufacturers to show a legally binding video of WHAT water resistance FULLY means.
If you are saying you are absolutely sure the back was fully closed like the little animation shows then Samsung should foot the bill.
I remember the JCB phone that was able to withstand being run over by a car but a member of BBC Click team broke it on the programme.

I was actually working on my S5 phone hope luck will be on my side, like what do I have to lose.
Samsung repair is asking me to pay
$221 (USD) - board replacement
$155 (USD) - LCD replacement
$40 (USD) - I forgot what part
$44 (USD) - labor
Guess what.
With the help of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70NDhy55TmE
and contact cleaner from DIY store.
My S5 is ALIVE!

AnonD-8044, 06 Jan 2015You said it though "Water Resistant" not "Wa... moreYes, I am aware that it is 1 meter deep but in my defense, believe it or not, I only jumped standing on a 3 feet pool along with kids. The phone got soaked for less than 5 seconds. Yes I bought the phone in the Philippines first week launched in Globe telecoms.Anyhow, I wont debate with whatever people will say here. I know what happened and I am pretty sure the phone was supposed to resist that little plunge. And believe me when I say I take care of my belongings. I even have my Nintendo since I was 10 with me, yes still working. The phone was used that way in various occasions as stated in my story. It was only until the camera was replaced that this happened.
Good luck with you guys. I hope you don't get the same problem like me or better yet. Ignore the water resistant claim.
