i'm independent.. for me this time samsung really terrible.. several days ago, i still support this phone but when i heard price of this phone.. i will say no..
its not like i hate this phone.. but for all attribute, this phone cant be compared with Z2 with price.
its an okay phone but for not major update of the phone 600-700 euro compare to S4 400 euro.. its a big different just because of 2.5Ghz Procie, +3MP camera and HDR, 2800mAh battery.. i dont think 300 euro worth enough for that..
if samsung release this phone cheaper like 500 euro.. i will consider.. for 600-700? i prefer going for Z2 instead or 5S..

U may be right saying I haven't even tried it and keep criticizing it but I hope it truly proves me wrong by magically performing better than the specs provided cos if u were also a fan u would agree it's jux like i-phone 4s and 5c or i-phone 5s and 5c

I've been a fan of the galaxies.I therefore expected more but this is certainly no major upgrade from the S4.I feel Samsung really held back in improving the S4 in the S5 and this must be one of their strategies to clear as much money as they can from consumers.Just hope apple puts them to shame this time.

I ... moreA fairly educated guess as to why FM radio is being left behind (whilst new sensors keep being added, some of which may only appeal to a very small number of people) is that FM (unlike all these others) requires *something* fairly large that acts as an antenna.
In the past they have used a *wired* external headset to double as a FM antenna, but people have now gone *wireless* and frown upon wired accessories.
It's because people now don't use wired headsets, that carrying an additional accessory to do FM radio (in the phone) is honestly the most stupid concepts one could imagine. Why? Because (for the same size of the antenna accessory) you could just carry a miniature stand-alone FM radio that would work regardless of your phone charge.
Why must people complicate things?
Yes, there was a time when you could merge the two things together. Now that time is gone and people have moved on, deal with it.

But for me, I am working in a different country where the language is different from my country that is why built-in FM radio is no use for me because I don't understand the broadcast.
Wherin Internet radio gives me option to choose different stations all over the world without using a wired headset and enjoying my Beats wireless.

Especially radio in mobile phone, coverage is very weak. You need to stretch the headset wires in order to get a better signal.

People here are really out if mind. What do u need in a smartphone u have everything. And above all samsung is a very trusted orm manufacturer..and its galaxy line of phones are best so millions and millions of sales of dem justify it..
Der shud a limit for expectation. S5 is on the verge of being another hit which vl sell in millions and outnumber any other oem devices put to gether.. Infact samsung devices are competing within der own breed..
After evrything is been put up in s5 now wat u ppl need?a jacuzzi n star trek space ship in s5?? There shud b a limit afterall its a phone for gods sake..
No matter what ppl hate or loath about it.. It vl just break records..
And dis is been happening and it vl keep happening..
They are the worlds greatest digital manufactures.. And they certsinly know how to run the show. Thy are in almost every field of electronic industry..so other products are in no match.. Its s good sign if other devices are lookin goid on paper or actually do.. But its all in a game.infact it was samsung who lead the way and set the standards high.. Wer other devices are now in path samsyng stood der way back in years.. And they are the oldest players in this field..
This is not boasting abiut samsung or a fan impression but dats wat the picture is..
There hardware n there decices are really good enuf but the only concern which we all have to be thinking about is that they are very slow on updating their older devices.. I understand so is the case with even other oem s.. But Having a samsung device.. We want update coz u know for sure even ur 2yr old handset is capable of running the latest android version.. While majoity of other oem devices are not.. Infact most of then hv already endef their update cycle and many dont even have enuf hardware support for it.. Now dats samsung and dats vision...
Even i hate it wen samsung holds back updates or gives it very late.. Call it a buisness tactics or somthing else but infact every other devices released at the same time of samsung gets updated after samsungs does theirs.. Now thats even.. Atleast al r in same boat..
Whatever ppl criticize watevr ppl brag about the brand.. Just by number of daily intrests and hits on the samsung devices and chart bursting sale numbers... Things speak for itself...
