DehMacLuvr, 08 Apr 2014When GSMArena did a news article on the moment it was announced. There were loads of hate comm... moreSo just because others judged, trolled, and hated on it....Like that is in any way shape or form news....Means now you have to be confused because some people actually like it? And the article shows that there indeed was way more to the story than what appeared small on paper?

DehMacLuvr, 08 Apr 2014The reason I'm angry is because I expect alot from Samsung. I mean, I think the Galaxy S3 was ... moreSo you made a contradictory rant of assumptions because you fell prey to the hype. That is your own doing.
And Iphone 6...or 8 will have nothing on the S5 or any relevant flagship....Oh wait...It will be a few milo seconds smoother.
All phones have started to slow down in technology a bit. We reached a lower point where nobody offered anything too extraordinary.
However it made some major key improvements....one the areas being one you disliked. Display. Displaymate rated it the BEST mobile display they ever tested and a significant update over the S4.
The camera brings fairly improved optics as well as really fast shutter speeds and real time HDR.
It is now the first Amoled water proofed phone and still retains an accessible battery.

It evolved to a much improved device. And is a continuing flagship update. It is not an all new phone trying to create it's own name. And even though it's not all everyone thought it still bests everything out there in most of the key categories.

Same price as it's rivals but without a premium design.

Slow Camera startup.

Reported lag in games.

Seriously, this phone is only hyped up by "certain" websites.

I'll wait for the next LG flagship.

HTC one M8 users tried to justify their purchase by putting hating words for galaxy S5. M8 is no match for GS5 in terms of camera. Those who says HTC's ultra pixel is great needs some real good eyes. I am having s4 but wont be buying this for atleast 2-3 months as prices are insane.

If BB or W8 got some reverb settings then I would try them again,,personnel choice..

The early rumours about what Samsung were going to Offer on the Galaxy S5,got everybody Expecting a Super phone from Samsung,but the Announce date was nothing like what Samsung put on for the Galaxy S4,an Samsung have left alot of people upset with Galaxy S5,an Samsung have now Really got to Change there Smartphone Plans,an Start Releasing Premium Smartphones Like Apple Produce,with Better Quality Built an Preformance,another thing Samsung an the other Produces have got to realise the Current Mobile Contracts are 24 month not 12 month,so alot of people will still be under contract with the Galaxy S4,so the Galaxy S5 might not be so Popular until the Price of the phone starts to Drop

DehMacLuvr, 08 Apr 2014I know the reason why they added a USB cover, to get its IP67 rating. Buy I find it ridiculous... moreok, i see. But my comment is for the above review. I'm sorry I'm confused. Are you involved the team who wrote the above review? FYI, I don't like GS 5 design too.

The fanboys here are crazy. They are trying to deny everything in this review to try and give the edge to Sony or HTC. Sorry, but Samsung has won this round fair and square.

DehMacLuvr, 08 Apr 2014Well, looks like I'm the listed hated person on the comments.Haha. You must understand human behavior. If you don't want to get trolled, just keep your hate comments away from the Internet. Be alert and always evaluate your statement. Back up your statement with solid proof and your reasons in a sensible way.

What's important is it delivers what the customer needs and practical at the same time. Gimmicks, that's a different story.

Ugly, not on par with other flagships, I would never dish out so much money for a smartphone that looks this bad regardless of how good it's specifications are, HTC, LG and Sony have prettier phones and I consider Z2 to be the best of all,looks good,Sony has great build quality and its specifications are better than Galaxy S5. Unless one is a Samsung fanboy choosing between S5 and Z2 is a no brainer. What I like about Sony is that even their low end models like Xperia M still come with very nice design and build quality. Low end Samsungs look and feel very cheap. I used to own Galaxy S2 and until Samsung improves design and build quality I am not buying another Samsung again, plus Xperia UI is much prettier and faster than Touchwiz.
