Some people rely too much on the specsheet. For daily use, realworld usage, my cheap Lenovo S930 handle Whatsapp, Wechat and FB better than my last year's so called flagship S4. Lenovo's dual sim capability now properly separate my business call vs the personal one.

Byebye Samsung. Your exaggerated price only justify the specsheet. Not the realworld usage.

    Those who say S5 is the best choice I completely disagree with that 100% I have the S4 and to be honest I got quite bored with it because it feels cheap so when samsung announced the S5 i was quite shocked that they were keeping the cheap plastic, I used to have the Iphone 5 and regretted the day I sold the handset for the S4.

    Never ever go with samsung again if you look at the likes of the Sony Z2 and even the iphone 5S there's really no competition especially when it coems to design.

    Samsung tried to play it safe but the onlty company who can get away with playing things safe is Apple.

    Not many guys are going to get the S5

              [deleted post]Agreed, with comments:
              1. Bigger not always better.
              2. Stereo speaker is actually gimmicky; except U listen the sound around 20cm of distance otherwise U can only hear one source.
              3. How do U know that Sony sound better and has better chip? AFAIK usually Samsung uses Wolfson chip that's better than others (h. phones).
              4. Heart-rate is not gimmicky at all, I don't know how, but there is a situation e.g: U got an accident in urban area and the sensor plays the role. Please imagine.

                                  64bit is issues without the 4gb of RAM. Android is not a 64 bit OS.

                                  DUAL SIM great for the 5% who may use it.

                                  It has 124gb SD support.

                                  If they made the base model 64gb and as such charge for it I can guarantee you'd be here composing about the price. If you want it you pay for it.

                                  3gb on the note is for the multi windows etc. This is included in this phone but not a main feature. We are not talking a laptop here.

                                      Definitely I won't buy phone except adopt 64bit. I don't know how Android would adapt to 64bit, but I do know how bit differences working.

                                        Samsung Galaxy S flagship-phones have always used plastic as their choice of material - and these phone sales like no other anyway. That's a fact whether you guys like it or not. Like I said before: 90-95% of the front is screen real-estate anyway - and for the sides and back; I think their design-move one their latest models have been nice enough for most customers. Personally I always cover it with a tpu-case anyway. So what's the big deal? You guys have to come to grips with the fact that you don't represent the majority out there.
