    Friends,
    When there is an update from an apple all its models get it. But when Samsung releases the new UPDATE it is just an update having not included at least its latest user interface and it is being neglected. It still has there been no new user interface like Themes, S6 themes and so. I admit the fact that I like Samsung very much that's what I say this. This is highly planned cheating. Still there is no sign of Android 5.1.1 or 6.0.1 for Samsung S5 n Duos. We are waiting for the good times that new updates make our old Samsung devices NEW. Lets hope for the best. The Camera must be improved better it is unlike Note 4 in its clarity.

                    Samsung galaxy s5 was launched in 2014 but still in 2016 the phone is amazing. Lot of people likes s5 including me, I'm a big fan of samsung S series. I think in S series s5 had bigger battery. Not only that after click a pic in s5 i was compared to other 13mp and higher mega pixels pics in 2016 phone but still samsung is still outstanding in most of the comparison. Yes i agreed there updates are too disappointment but i like s5 more than s6. Every phone has there own defects so leve the cons and give importance to the pros it is best ......................hats off samsung

                        Bought it and in less than 6 months, the call volume is too low. So unable to make any calls. What's the point of having a phone that cannot make phone calls.

                            bern, 14 Jan 2016can I use this under water to take pictures.. since this phone is water resistantI don't advise it, it may be water resistant but it isn't meant for that kind of exposure for very long. You might get away with it a few times, but the depth has to be less then 39 inches (1 meter) and under 30 mins. And all it would take is one missed clip on the back to destroy your phone.

Which version of Lollipop was your S5 upgraded to? You can find this information by going to 'Settings' then 'About Phone'.

                                    Y kiss, 08 Jan 2016I want to buy samsung s5 but the comment i saw make me confused.should i buy it or notI currently have the Galaxy s5 and love it. It has a better camera than the iPhone 6s and a better cpu. Its battery life also exceeds the 6s. Although its fingerprint scanner can be a little finicky at times and is a little less smooth, the other features it offers are unbeatable. I know people are saying that they are changing to iphone because of the camera and similar features but they are wrong. Galaxy s5 camera: 16 MP, f/2.2, 31mm, phase detection autofocus, LED flash. Apple 6s camera: 12 MP, f/2.2, 29mm, phase detection autofocus, dual-LED flash. Use the link for proof and specs: http://www.gsmarena.com/apple_iphone_6s-7242.php (I used it for my grade 11 marketing summative when comparing models) Hope this helps
