After my bad experience in Samsung Galaxy S4, the unit get extremely hot and the battery become swollen, I changed the battery twice in period of 4 months, and even charging time on USB is very very slow.Also MMC issues every time I connect my mobile to laptop the laptop hang than I discover that the problem is from the MMC and keep changing MMC every 2 months.Therefore I don’t recommend any body to buy Samsung mobile there is a lot of other brands 100 times better than Samsung mobile like HTC one LG G2 Xperia Z2.

give the s5 a spin and youll change your mind within 5 minutes. the ui still stutters. i guess it has to do with touchewiz but are you willing to pay for a flagship phone that stutters? dealbreaker.

I knew this would happen. So much disagreement and hate... sometimes I lose all hope for the internet, knowing what it has become.

It's a nice phone, but too expensive for a plastic phone..
In my country it costs almost US$ 780!!!
that's not making any sense..

DM, 08 Apr 2014Why does all Samsung phone looks the same ?? The same reason all Apple phones look the same from the very first one to the most recent.

Ugly design. The perforated back reminds me of a band-aid.

"you also get a brand new Snapdragon 801 chipset to take over from the tiring Snapdragon 600"
Havent seen any S4 S600 version in ages, it was replaced by the S800 S4 LTE+ in most markets, especially the west. So going from S800 to S801, I dont call that much of an upgrade at all.
Also S5 will see a half-term upgrade, its simply wrong to say that Samsung keeps their flagships for one year, the S4 era was split between two different devices, and this time it seems it will be even more half-term upgrades. Heres why:
Why does the S5 have so big bezels? Because it was made for a 5.2 inch QHD display, that means the upgraded S5 later this year will use the same body, just with a S805 chipset and a QHD display (the display may be ready already but QHD is too much for an Adreno 330, they have to wait for the A420)
The QHD version is a given, it will be much needed to compete against LG G3 and Xperia "Z3" (Sony may need to change the flagship naming with the next model because BlackBerry is launching a Z3 model these days)
Will be interesting to see what they do in India and other non-LTE markets where the Exynos version is offered, does the Exynos octa have enough juice to push QHD displays or will they offer the S805 QHD instead, or will they simply leave those markets stuck with FHD 5.1 inchers?

"...not to bring a substantial upgrade in the display department..."
But DisplayMate has said the display of the S5 is the best yet according to another site.

Nice review from GSMArena.
Even if i'm not interested in this model, it's good to read a well written review based on facts/experience than most of wannabe reviewers/trolls with childish comments over here based on assumptions/believing.

I would love if gsmarena would say whether phones are using aptx bluetooth profiles or not. They do the most comprehensive reviews. It is a shame they always forget about bluetooth music quality.
