My suggetion is better u had to buy a nokia 112. People using smart phones for internet options. Thats the major thig in smart phones. Im a heavy user. This flagship not sutable for guys like me. UI not friendly. Every body know this flagship calls as galaxy s4s. Because there is no much diffrence between s4 and 5 hardwere wise. I didnt mean they are same. S4 ram 2 and 5 is same. Look at the marks. Every buddy agree with me about s5 desine. Featurs, preformence are same. Ghosh, im not an idiot. (im srilankan, u r an indian. I belive asins are intelegent. U can understand me dude.)

                  S5 is really easy to handle, and it's comfortable too. Thanks to the band-aid design (no sarcasm here). It's way easier to handle than an M8 or Z2.

                  It is actually fast, but you don't see any of it because it's running TouchWiz. When the GPE is out check it out, it will surely be one of the fastest device out there.

                  Every sane person uses a mobile phone for texting and calling and some chatting and a little browsing. However there are some kids who purchases a phone and try to replace it with other stuffs, which is ridiculous at it's prime. So your point is moot here.

                  Battery life is great too. I mean if you are low then that UPS mode works like a charm. I am more or less battery life will be more or less same with all the other flagships out there. Maybe Z2 will be a bit better because of larger battery but if you use a phone extensively then at the end of the day you will have to plug your charger.

                        Bought a new galaxy 5 7 days ago. When I phoned people could not hear the ring tone or the person answering. Vodacom told me to switch off the phone and restart every time it did this as there was a glitch in the software!What a good reference for a very expensive phone! Very disappointed with this phone and the back-up service in SA

                          D9, 11 Jul 2014Thank, darkgamer. I was referred to the USB cable.Yeah that's right, USB v3.0 cable is not a problem.
                          It is available not only in Amazon, it is in every mobile phone stores at very cheap price.
                          So it should not be a big problem since the unit charging port supports USB v3.0.

                            Very very nice look! The look of gs5 brings us to victorian edge. Not sutable for today. No lags? What the... R u kidding me?

                            Battery life not bad. If u want to use it a day, u have to start charging at yesterday and to fully charge, u need to wait a half of a day.

                            Very very fast. My god. What a fast phone. Im still in start page.

                            Very easy to handle it. My gs5 felt down 2 times in this week.

                            Very easy to use by one hand. So im holding it by rite hand and operating it using left.

                            Just like a coumputer! U can do everything on it! Very happy to say. After my experiances, i only using it for txting and calling. Im using my pc back.

                            Im laying? Oky go head , buy it , then cry like me! Good luck! (its too long. Isnt it?)

                                    This phone helped rescue my son and I from a remote area in Virginia.
                                    On the 4th of July, my son and I rented a canoe to do some whitewater. I decided to bring my s5. I put it in my pocket and forgot about it. 3/4 through the trip we flipped the canoe in a set of class 3 rapids. The water pinned me between the canoe and a rock. I was under water for about a minute, while my son and I attempted to free me from the canoe.We where successful. We then continued to float down the river, through the rapids,without the boat, for several hundred feet. We lost everything, but did eventually recover our stuff; except for my glasses. We both had minor injuries and due to the fact I was unable to read the river without my glasses, we decided it would be best to just find a place to get out.
                                    The phone was under water, in the rapids, for several minutes. We eventually made it to a road. I reached into my pocket, pulled out the phone,and to my surprise the phone worked. I called 911 and we where picked up within the hour.
