darkgamer, 08 Aug 2014I've used both cameras in detail and i found out the result... moreWell my point was based on image quality only, nothing else, not even the faster AF.

AnonD-89109, 08 Aug 2014TouchWiz is EXACT same, the core is same, like it was on S4... moreI've used both cameras in detail and i found out the result to be quite different than yours.
Firstly, both are great cameras and arguably the best on android.
Still shots: both are plain great with loads of detail, good exposure, edge to edge sharpness. S5 has an edge in sharpness but only little. The areas s5 excels is the focus time and dynamic range.
Modes and features: s5 hands down. Live HDR, virtual tour, HDR and stabilisation can be simultaneous. That means great dynamic range in low light shots and many other features and removed the useless ones.
Low light: in auto mode, both take useless shots with lot of noise and black shots.
Turn on stabilisation in s5 and night mode in s4 and you get some good shots. S5 has a slight edge if you turn on HDR also.
Video: no comparison here. 1080p pales against 4k. Also the 1080p on s5 uses super sampling that results in much better 1080p videos. I've seen many reviews and the s5 takes better videos than lumia 1020 even in 1080p mode. 4k crushes it. S4 takes great videos and is on par with most of phones but s5 is out if this world.
It doesn't take a genius to notice the difference between both. And I'm just an amateur. The better dynamic range, 16:9 viewfinder, live HDR, more saturated but not over the top colours, phase detection, 4k video all add up to a better experience.
And this is coming from s4 owner who tried s5 for 3 days.

S5 is claiming IP67 protection is it?
6 stands for dust tight and 7 stands for 1 meter submersion for 30 minutes.
Will samsung honor warranty if hypothetically say I bought one then accidentally dropped it in the sink(with water of course)unintentionally and water seeps through the circuit board and shorted the phone?

AnonD-263306, 06 Aug 2014S5 is nothing like S4. The S5 features a much better screen... moreTouchWiz is EXACT same, the core is same, like it was on S4.
Also the camera on the S5 is 'slightly' better than S4, and practically even a professional photographer won't be able to tell a difference between two shots!

Wazdon, 07 Aug 2014I have been using the Samsung Galaxy S5 for five months now... moreHey ... check if your PC hardware is good enough because the videos this device records are some of the heaviest. Device heat is something normal for Android for now. The problem is not the hardware but the OS which is slowly moving towards perfection and still needs work to get the speed, stability and reliability of iOS.

I have been using the Samsung Galaxy S5 for five months now. I have noticed two major issues: 1. The battery at times starts to heat up and drains fast. 2. When I do video recording. The recorded video file plays very well on the camera. When I transfer the file onto the computer, playback is extremely slow. Someone please help to resolve these two problems.

isabelle ibrahim, 07 Aug 2014Phones lags a lot after loading a few apps. Terrible phone... moreWe have one and that just isnt true is it, unless you have a fake.Just like the voting up above,ratings of 4.5 and 5's the screen and camera alone justify this phone top marks without all the other features, marks like that can only be arrived at by deliberate down voters, and what makes this tripe indigestible isnt the blather we owners have to read from people who have no proper reason to be here (we have the phone and that shuts all mouths.) Its the innocent people doing they're home work on they're next prospective phone and you would redirect them by your comments towards second rate swag. Yes big ugly bezel land awaits them out there yay and gaudy ugly coloured casings and the bland brick brigade aye an all primey touchy feely at that. aaaaarrrr

T hot, 07 Aug 2014No! This thing is only seen in samsung & some local bra... moreIf that is the case, you can just wait for only few months before buying it in lower price then you can have a flagship phone.
Unlike other brands, it seems to be forever before the price goes down. They are not consumer friendly.
