Octa core is a fake
fake. They never run at the same time
time. And it is the kind of stealing extra money from people. While 4 cores is running, other 4 cores are shutting down
Exynos octa Core is only arm based processor

You can't actually unless Samsung release LTE radio chip implanted in Exynos, like the one in Note II.
If that happed it will be mostly exclusive for Korea.

There are many more brands to choose from. And LTE penetration in india is currently very low. Instead of just ranting endlessly, why don't you just chill out?

edi, 18 Apr 2014Why my s5 octacore have a scratch? Please tell me if this p... moreGorrila glass 3 is not sapphire-crystal, sapphire-crystal is the only lense or screen that can withstand a scratch from anything, except diamond, and not get damaged. This is often found on high end watches, but not on phones yet, I've heard that apple was thinking about introducing it on one of their devices, but nothing yet. Gorilla glass 3 may be strong but it can get scratched, the biggest cause is sand in your pocket, it can eat a screen, seen it personally.

when i saw the specs i compared it with the SD801 version i was dissapointed! then I went to wikipedia and I came to know that Mali GPU used in this is almost 2x more faster than that of Adreno 330! Adreno 330 has a clockspeed of 500 MHz(approx.) and Mali GPU in S5 has around ABOVE 930 MHz!! So Being a Gamer , EXYNOS 4 LIFE!!!

I was waiting for s5 that will introduce same as other markets but I am very much depressed that s5 that is introduced in India is old octa core processor I would be very grateful if they had given same version that is introduced in European and other markets so I would buy a phone that supports 4G sorry Samsung you are discrimating to indian buyers.

This another bloated overprice junk from Samsung. This company seriously doubts the IQ level of Indians. We are supposed to pay more for than US & other countries & yet get a comparatively inferior version.
Like many previous reviews have pointed out this phone has Samsung Proprietary Exynos Octa processor, which is slower than Quad Core Snapdragon 801 in US, heats up pretty quickly, eats too much battery, does not support LTE, & worst of all there is no third party developer support because Samsung is too lazy to provide documentation & driver binaries for developers.
Build quality is same old plastic Samsung is known for, plus they have added flaps to make it waterproof but it is still not true waterproof phone like Sony Xperia Z, it can be called spill proof phone.
Camera has been improved a bit but no OIS like many other phones or any innovation like HTC One M8 with selective focus with dual camera lenses.
Size keeps getting bigger & bigger, wonder when this trend of making bigger phones with so high pixel density will stop.
They have added Fingerprint scanner which is too a gimmick rather than necessity to justify this price tag, also there is heart-rate monitor, don't who would be interested in this.
Their TouchWiz has been bloated for years & it surprises me with every generation they somehow manage to find even more bloat to add to already bloated OS. Anyone remember Magazine UI in latest Note series that even managed to lag on Snapdragons even Google was upset with that UI.
They have added NSA sponsored Samsung Knox, which may be useful for >1% of users but is irritating for rest of the 99% of users. It won't let you root your phone, if you like tweaking Android's internals then be prepared.
Overall this pricing is final nail in it's coffin, Galaxy S4 numbers were low compared to S3, now be prepared for even low numbers. If you need a better phone get iPhone 5s or Nexus 5 but if you need a better camera wait for HTC One M8 or Xperia Z2!
