Asking this especially to my Indian friends and others also...anyone who has bought this after S4, could you guys tell me how is the vibration intensity / strength of S5? Is it strong or just weak like S4?
Thanks.

It can merely last 10 hours. The battery drains quickly, in linear manner, even if i dont use the phone, I dont know if it's a configuration problem or it's a problem in my phone itself or simply it's a common problem in galaxy s5

[deleted post]Stop believing and go try something heavy on a M8 to know what you are talking about.
Metal is better for heat dissipation (if cooled), but not for holding in hands (just like a cpu cooler in a computer).
Metal devices are worse to hold when heavy usage cranks up cpu heat:
I had a 'pretty' Asus tablet, all aluminium, i hated it when i was playing games due to the heat of the metal.
That's a fact and that's how i knew how much crap people are saying with their argueing over materials.

I bourgth the sgs5 a few days ago at first it heatet up very quickly when browsing the internett secondly when you capture pictures its focusing very slow and the quality of the pictures i capture was nothing groundbreaking i thourgth but after a few days of useing the phone almost everything works excellent no moore heating when browsing the webb batterylife is also pretty good camera works better after the last stability update ftom samsung the and samsung really cid a good jobb they cut down the gimmick theire is mutch less nonesens on the phone intornal memmory aboout 11 gigs are user availible which is pretty good when compair too sgs4 the only downside is the fingerprintscanner that dosent works propperly the design is also nice the phone is very userfriendly and in the end i must say the sgs5 is a worthy upgrade that you wont regrate

The one big thing that i see time and time again is that the finger print scanner is sub-par.
I own this unit and if i register my thumb and use the scanner to unlock with my thumb on the same hand i am holding it i do find that the recognition is no as good and this is likely due to the fact that the exact held position is different every time and thus effecting the angle and thumb is read, however when i registered my index finger and hold it the phone in the other hand my failure rate was 0% on 20 swipes.
Having upgraded from a GS3 with cyanogenmod i have found the UI about the same speed, but considering that cyanogenmod is closer to android vanilla then the GS5 that is a testament to how fast the GS5 is. Even so the usual trappings of touchwiz is right for some and not for others.
The phone itself is what you would come to expect from samsung, solid efficient, safe.

I used this phone for a few days...looks and feels like an S3. The Note 3 for the same price is so much better looking and better to use...I can't believe how a 700 $ phone so powerful can be so laggy in every menu. Waiting desperatly for LG G3...or i keep my Note 3

What major issue are you expecting? you would have read that everywhere by then.
