    OMG! Just got this phone last night and it was truly amazing. It imports all my apps and settings from my Note 3 once I registered my Samsung and Gmail accounts. Sadly because it automatically installs all the apps that I have in Note 3, the remaining memory is 7GB. Need to get an external memory SD card to move them.

    It's like an extension of my Note 3. I never expected that. Great!

      AnonD-255600, 19 Apr 2014Thank you! Now, the thing here is that I´m wondering... moreIf you don't have S4 yet, then S5 is the better choice.

            I have had it for a few days now.

            I really love the display.

            Great batterylife and it also charges from empty to full in less than two hours with included 2A charger.

            The rough back makes in stay in the hand and not slip away.

            As with all phones with big displays you will need two hands for many/most operations.

            Not much bloatware installed.

            The camera is great (the pics I have taken so far).
            In automode (only one I tested so far) it takes about 1.5 secounds from you press the button till it snaps the photo. (It focuses, stabilises and stuff I guess).

            Good sound regarding phonecalls and music.

              Yes, It's normal for Samsung they should start working on this problem.

                bam, 19 Apr 2014have you improved the battery problems? main problem of samsung The batterylife is really good in the Samsung Galaxy S5!
                Not only that, it's shipped with a 2A charger which charges the battery from empty to full in less than two hours.

                I have had a Samsung Galaxy S3 earlier and that did not have good battery life.

                I also recently had an iPhone 5 which also did not have good battery life.

Try to kill the app each time or just install "juice defender" app so that it regulates access to data. Your phone's battery shouldn't be draining so fastly

                            AnonD-255600, 19 Apr 2014Thank you! Now, the thing here is that I´m wondering... moreMath is simple there :

                            owner of S4 : stick to it until next Galaxy version. S4 is still great, unless you have a special deal or money isn't a problem at all.

                            owned of none : go for S5 since it's the newest, offers more, better performance and it will be supported longer for updates.
