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.

Could be the best when it comes to hardware and software. Nevertheless the S5 design sux hard, imho obviuously.

AnonD-237024, 08 Apr 2014Well, looks like I'm the listed hated person on the comments.Well then. Don't be so ignorant and evasive.
You could've took the time to partially read the article and maybe a couple others to realize half of what you said was just the regurgitated hateful crap you thought you were avoiding. And upon comparison to other devices if the S5 is a small update then the rest are tiny updates.
But instead you said all those things and then had an issue with anyone who replied.

Victor, 08 Apr 2014Ugly, not on par with other flagships, I would never dish out so much money for a smartphone t... moreYeah ummm.....Nice try. First off if less specs and more looks is what you want than nothing beats the Motorola Droid Razr XT912.
And Despite desperate claims of biased trolls like you Samsung's poly carbonate built phones are built with very good quality. They are not cheaply slapped together. And Poly Carbonate is high grade plastic not cheap plastic. As well as it offers many pratical and durable advantages over glass and aluminum.
And where is Z2's specs better?
S5 has the best mobile display, faster system speed, amoled/removable battery and still water proof which makes a bigger claim than sealed of ips with one level higher water proofing, cleaner headphone output, better optics minus OIS advantage, that goes towards snaps and vids. Also more and better tuned camera features/extras. More ergonomic, better battery life, ultra power saving, so forth. More functional software to cater to the widest variety of people. And a VASTLY better update history with Samsung.
Z2 has design SOME prefer...TO some it's still quite large and brick shaped. Though the footprint is improved vastly from Z1. Better speakers. One level better watter proofing in larger sealed off device. So tossup up there. Oh and 3gb ram.
Preferences will decide and both are great choices...But the S5 has the factual upper hand.

And the article shows that there indeed was way more to the story than what appeared small on paper?
