I took some videos on my S5 this morning at my daughter's school. All play fine except the longest of them, at 12 minutes. When I Play This Video I Get A Pop Up That Tells Me Play video data only. There is no sound to this video. I am so upset as to why not.

Also there is nothing new in S5 to replace S4 but only more problems. I have S3 new because of the 2 sim cards. I tried S4 and this was the cheapes piece of plastic I ever hold in my hands. Also if you try sony or LG products for a while you will never get back to Samsung't pathetic quality and terrible design.

I don't have the option to schedule text messages. I can delay them, but there is no option to turn on scheduled text messages. Where do I have to go to enable this?

I have one of these now through my work. My two cents (in brief) -
POSITIVES:
Good screen
Good quality image/video capture
Very good gaming performance
Quite a few new and useful UI features
NEGATIVES:
Lots of Samsung (and EE) bloatware
Clumsy, almost shambolic, implementation of the fingerprint scanner - needs two hands and hardly ever works first time.
Charging port cover very flimsy
I've not got the time to cover everything but those are my main points. Verdict - good but how on earth did the fingerprint scanner pass quality control or even the R&D phase?

AnonD-66693, 08 Apr 2014Haha. You must understand human behavior. If you don't want to get trolled, just keep your hat... moreSo basically what your saying, you cant critise the S5.
Why not? We critise films, movie's etc... but we cant judge this one phone?
That is some of the most flawed logic I have ever read.

But no...like most people you would rather hop on the internet and make an illogical rant bases off something simple.

Within 5 weeks from buying the S5, the finger print scanner stopped functioning. I took it to Samsung Service centre in Singapore and they agreed to repair it and provide an older model of phone as temporary replacement till completion of repair. However, Samsung's proposal is very painful because I am supposed to have a "SIM card adaptor" and a different charger if I have to use the temporary phone !! I finally withdraw my complaint and feel it is not worth the hassle to repair the scanner feature.
What I conclude is that Samsung's after-sales services are third class as compared to the product's brand image and market positioning. Also it seems that although S5 has very many new features, many of the high-tech new features do not work properly or will stop working very soon ! It seems Samsung is not focusing on the quality of its devices but only on its brand marketing. This is a sure recipe for a brand to fall in value if it does not keep its product quality as good as its features.

So this was the review of snapdragon version, i'd like to see a comparison with international octa core exynos version if possible, especially on audio part since it has a wolfson chip.

Disappointed with GSM Arena for the first time. I think S5 is the best phone in the market. Better than Z2 and One. But then GSM,at least in my opinion, has done a not so good job with reviewing the screen of S5. I didn't find the screen to be that good. Agree, Samsung has worked on some aspects of the screen like brightness. But the colors still are not accurate. And also the screen still feels like a collection of small dots, unlike the non-AMOLED displays. This is more prominent with lighter colors. S5's screen still is amazing but certainly not as good as what GSM says. I usually don't comment on sites, unless I am very sure of what I am saying.

The Galaxy S5 is similar to the S4,but you can see the differences easily,the Screens alot Brighter an the Menu totally different to use,plus the batterylife as been improved alot,just wished the menu was alot easier to use like the S4,as you could add Advance Task Manager to your screen on the S4 an stop things running,but with the S5 you have to press the settings button an then search for the Advance Task Manager to stop things running which can be Annoying,just hope someone can create application so we can get to this alot Quicker on the S5,Just wish we had better Speakers from Samsung on there Smartphones,an instead of just one Speaker but two
