So disappointed. I loved all the S model phones in the past. I live in a very hot climate and while talking on the phone 2 weeks after I got the phone, the screen cracked. I did not drop or abuse the phone, the screen cracked med phone call. Samsung will not replace it. My love affair with the Galaxy S is over.

              AnonD-146024, 23 Sep 2014If Apple doesn't offer FM Radio, why should we? - Samsung.with regard to the radio not included on the s5 the answer was "why should we put one in because apple doesn't"
              that's exactly why you should include it on the Samsung 5 because apple doesn't....be a leader not a follower.....

                            AnonD-310248, 22 Sep 2014But guys, I thought iPhone hardware was old tech like 2012 ... moreHardware never mattered. I have NO idea how people purchase a phone based on hardware only! What is this, buying a gaming desktop PC or what?
                            I had an S4, used it for eight months, saw the great caliber of TouchWiz, and sold it. Now I use a Moto X, a phone which is much inferior in hardware, but I can bet my (----) that its much more optimized than that S4. Yes, I do miss the camera, I do miss the display quality and size, but still the overall smoothness and stability of pure Android is just what I need for day to day usage.

                            A phone which isn't optimized for the running software, it's meaningless to even look at that phone regardless of its 16 core CPU or Adreno 660 GPU or 90 MP camera. Sorry.

                            I couldn't care less about Samsung's intention about TouchWiz, but the sooner they ditch that awful TouchWiz, the better. Matter of time people realize what "actual" Android is.

                                  S5 runs on TouchWiz, that's a fact.

                                  And the main fact is, iOS still can't multitask properly, so all the points which went in favour of iPhone is basically meaningless.

                                  This is exactly why TouchWiz ruins Vanilla Android, the actual Android.

And yes the being able to open an app in a fraction of a second quicker isn't a big deal, but being able to do it consistently over time and as you install more and more stuff is impressive. I bought a S3 and a 4th Gen iPad (64 GB) at the same time and I have installed more than 260 apps & games (no joke)and a few hundred songs on it and it still performs more or less like brand new. The S3 on the other hand started lagging like 6 Months after I bought it and I had to do a factory reset every 3 months since then. I understand this is due to how android manage Ram and that requires more to do the same task. I have noticed that the Galaxy Note 3 with it's 3GB Ram maintains it's "fluidity" better than the S3 and even s4 and I'm considering buying one now even after it has been a year after it has been announced because of it...

                                        I cannot tell everyone how much I hate this "smart" phone. It is the slowest, most user unfriendly, frustrating phone I have ever used. I had a s2 for 3 years and was happy with it. The voice function is a joke...in fact I love to show people how really bad it is and the funny $hit it comes up with on a simple sentence.
                                        When the phone rings the display doesn't come on and it takes at least 3 or 4 secs to come on...I can't tell you how many calls I miss. The WORST part about this phone is the battery will only last 9 hours so make sure you have your power cords and a generator when your away (no wifi, saver settings one, no hotspot on, dispay on "cannot see" mode) Did I mention I REALLY REALLY hate my purchase
