    samosa, 14 Jul 2014Photo can be transfer through NFC to other device NFC true ... moreOk let's get away with NFC, let's use bluetooth,
    S5 can transfer and receive files from other bluetooth devices except the restricted iPhone of course. iPhone cannot even receive files from a laptop PC, what a restriction!

    With extra battery, you don't need to wait until you get to the charging station to charge your phone. You can continue to use the phone to receive important calls and messages but your iPhone with low battery will switch off and you will miss a lot of important calls and messages until you get it charge. Where is your practicality?

    Ok let's get away with DSLR, let's say any device can transfer files to S5 via USB OTG. Your iPhone needs to pass the jail guard iTunes before it can receive files, you need a PC or laptop to do that, again, where is your practicality?

    You can say you don't need external storage because you have no choice but to accept whatever is available in your iPhone memory storage.

    S5 comes in 16/32 GB and expandable up to 132GB which your iPhone is restricted to maximum of 64GB! Is that all you can choose from?

    Just an S5 with 16GB plus 132GB expansion is already 148GB, your iPhone with 64GB did not even reach the half. Wahahaha!

    How much more S5 with 32GB?

          dude, 14 Jul 2014hi guys just want to clarify is there a light on the back b... moreYes, there is a backlight on the button and it's quite bright.

            samosa, 14 Jul 2014Photo can be transfer through NFC to other device NFC true ... moreDo you really believe that iPhone 5s can compete s5 in camera. Go home bro.

            First lets dive in physical specifications:

            Sensor:
            i5s: 1/3.06"
            s5: 1/2.5"

            focusing:

            i5s: contrast detection
            s5: hybrid autofocus( contrast + phase detection)

            Lens:
            i5s: 5 element lens
            s5: 6 element lens

            sensor tyoe:
            i5s: BSI
            s5: ISOCELL

            Resolution:
            i5s: 8 MP 4:3
            s5: 16 MP 16:9

            Video:
            i5s: 1080p@30fps or 720p@120 ps
            s5: 2160p@30fps, 1080p@60fps, 1080p@30fps, 720p@240fps, 720p@120fps, 720p@60fps,720p@ 30 fps + lower resolutions.

            s5 also has live HDR, newer and better qualcomm ISP and many options to control ISO, exposure, modes, effects, metering background defocus and much more.

            Now let's come to actual quality and in this one too, s5 blows i5s out of the water in dynamic range, detail, color fidelty, exposure and white balance.

            Don't believe me. Here's a 10 page detailed comparison. There is no s5 there as it was not available at that point but the iphone 5s lost to note 3 which is every way inferior to s5 in camera.

            http://www.gsmarena.com/six_way_camera_shootout-review-998.php


            I'm not an iphone 5s hater. I have used that brilliant phone for 2 weeks and it's a blazing fast phone with quality chassis. But the camera on it is not impressive at all.

                  How many members buy extra battery for their devices be practical man.

                  Hahaha s5 plus you need DSLR camera so you accept the truth that S5 camera is crap but 5s camera can perform best picture in any situation.

                  We don't need external storage we can choose according to our usage by the way 5s comes in 16,32,64gb

                              Don't be a hypocrite one sided troll.

                              You should trace the post trend who started mentioning iPhone 5s before you judge. I am just finishing what that fruit fanboy started.

                                  Photos taken by a DSLR camera can be transfer instantly to S5 via USB OTG which your slave iPhone can't do unless it passes the jail guard iTunes. LOL!

                                  And photos taken by S5 can be transfer instantly to other NFC devices.

                                  Your iPhone can't change extra battery, always need to plug the charger when the battery is low and wait up to full charge before use, where S5 can change the battery and use the phone immediately while the discharged battery is on the charging cradle.

                                  You didn't answer the question what an iPhone fanboy doing in Samsung page?

                                  Beat it and go back to your dungeon iTunes.

If you value your money wait, maybe a month, and it should come near 30k. It's already around 35k for the Indian Exynos, if you don't mind getting that.

                                      If size isn't an issue, then look at Sony Z2 too.
