    Andy, 18 Mar 2014Who on earth wants an actual radio receiver when you can st... moreMaybe those who like to listen to radio when walking when 3G reception drops, or for those who have limited data. Streaming radio uses a lot of data and I'd go over my limit easily.
    I'm leaving Samsung after having my SIII for 2 years. The S4 wasn't really worth an upgrade and I feel the S5 is nothing except a big disappointment. I am not interested in a heart rate sensor- I'd never find any use for it even when I exercise, just a total gimmick. A fingerprint sensor just seems like a good excuse to get people to buy more stuff through Google and I'd not use it to unlock my phone.
    That leaves the slightly upgraded camera ...naah. I'm getting a LG G2!

Isn't it better to listen to the radio free from the messy wires?

      No need to put the radio in phone, it is just an option.

                    I know right..all these unnecessary features. The average person doesn't have use for all of this. I love seeing innovation go big but Ithink they're going wayyy too far

                      anonymous, 17 Mar 2014It depends on the phone brand
                      No, I don't think this is brand-specific. If a given version of Android OS does not support OTG (in this case Kitkat)..it will not support it on any brand be it Moto G or Samsung or anything else. We need clarification on this important point.

                                        When use the phone in hot summer or cold winter. Plastic does not go much hotter or cold, while matel Alumnium got much hot / cold and we dont feel pleasant and dont want to hold in hand.
                                        Moreover, with heat metal Alu transfer its heat to body's internal part and may destroy the electric components.
                                        So samsung make phone for every season and every region/ area of the world.
                                        For specs
                                        there are also 4gb ram available phones then they are better than Z2,
                                        Samsung has included more functions which are not singly present in any other device.
