    Anonymous, 24 Nov 2014Because there are still lots of S4 and even S3 that are still working. And they don't hav... moreS3, working? Well if you call that lag "working" we can blame it on a very loose definition of the word, it definitely is not anywhere near high end performance like S4. For me theres no doubt that the first Samsung with modern day performance was the Note 2.

    But i knew, and maybe i even posted it somewhere before somewhere as proof, that S5 wouldnt sell as much as S4, since S4 looked a bit classy with its flatish fake metal sides (for a samsung, im stretching "classy" way too far now) while S5 was a one man show in pure big bezel uglinessand didnt offer any sensible advantages over the S4 other than defective motion gimmicks, and the S5 display looked 2 sizes too small and it looked just terrible in every visual way. It will stand as a unsolved mystery how Sony Z2 came to be known for big bezels in 2014 while S5 managed to slide under the big bezel radar.

    S4 just was too good, the only surprise is that S5 isnt further behind. And again we see Samsung sliding under the radar, Xperia Z3 is quoted as an insignificant upgrade of Z2 and S5 wasnt famous for being a useless upgrade of S4, how did Samsung manage to do this? Basically Samsung could rename the Galaxy Grand 2 to Galaxy S6 and sell it for $700, thats the true technical level of the average sammy user.

By month or two, there's S5 plus, alpha, note 4, etc . So the hype will be shortlived also. Unlike other brand that lasts a year atop.

                          Why buy Samsung when everybody does Android better and at much cheaper prices, especially the Moto G and Xiaomi?

                              Problem is the DESIGN. Samsung must go to alpha brand with full aluminium. Elite Design. S5 is horrible design phone. I prefer xioami mi4

                                  Because it's just an upgraded S4, I'll stick with S4.
