    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

      This is the worst phone I have ever used. You can experience all kind of issue. Starting from lag, hanging even you can find display outage. Guys take me as an example and don't go for this

              After my bad experience in Samsung Galaxy S4, the unit get extremely hot and the battery become swollen, 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.
              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.
              Samsung are number one in marketing only……………….

                      All of you note that this phone is a US version with a Snapdragon 801 chipset. The version sold in south Asia is the lousy Samsung home grown chipset which has piss poor performance. Samsung does this everytime. They release a phone in the US with a good chipset and mislead others in other countries to save $$. I burnt my fingers on the GS III, become cautious afterwards.

                        It does have the best display though. And best all around camera only beaten in photos and only by 8o8 and 1020.

                              ottisb, 13 Apr 2014I'm glad I kept well away from the S5 handset after playing with my friends S5 it feels jerky,... moreSo in other words you have not actually used any of them. Just trolling online and had to make a bias post.

                              Try using them and telling the truth next time.
