    I am using this phone for some months now. I have not experienced any problem yet. The battery, processors, screen and everything is perfect..! The S Health app and water resistant feature add value to the phone.. Probably the most decent and best product of Samsung so far..

          Best Samsung Galaxy king so far. The fifth king has been the most reliable.

            amit77777, 14 Aug 2015'water resistant upto 1 metre n 30 min' what is it mean?It means that it is water resistant. Water proof means water isn't ever going to get inside of the electronics. Resistant means it can keep water out for an allotted amount of time. In this case, it is saying you can go 3 meters deep but for no longer than 30 minutes.

            Point being, you don't have to worry about ruining your phone if you drop it in a glass of water, in the toilet, etc. But it's not mean to go scuba diving and take pictures.

                  I accidentally put my phone into a laundry machine that ran for 2 and half hours and the phone was still running like nothing happened. All I can say is it is surely water resistant. :D

                    It was a promising device. Unfortunately it has rather poor support from Samsung. The build quality is also poor.

                      Means that it can resist water pressure prevailing at 1m for a duration of 30m as far as tests conducted in labs are concerned. But the thing is that it is not water proof but water resistant and can therefore still get some damaged if exposed deliberately to water. Its real resistance is that it is splash proof mainly...

                            sukrsa2004, 11 Aug 2015Besides your comments I want to add some. How Apple make their device "lag-free"? ... moreYour comment is pathetic. You actually know nothing about smartphones, but you act like a well-known expert...

                            iDevices rather mediocre multitasking and lack of flash player support are not caused by the optimisation!

                            The former is caused by the low amount of RAM. Browser tabs refreshing, apps reloading, etc. are all the result of the 1 GB of RAM. If you take a look at the iPad Air 2 with 2 GB of RAM, there's no such thing happening anymore.

                            The latter on the other hand, isn't caused by anything... iOS doesn't support Flash Player since its creation. It's also worth mentioning that Android has long terminated Flash Player support officially since (IIRC) Jelly Bean.

                              S5 is the best choice now if you are looking for a top range smartphone.
                              Price is now cheap thanks to S6 but the S5 is not much different compare to S6.
                              In fact i feel it is better. I don't really mind the built material or fingerprint sensor.
                              S5 has a better battery life,microSD slot,amazing screen and Snapdragon 801 is still amazingly fast. Strongly recommend to go for it

                                S5 will not dissapont you in any respects it has a great screen and camera over Z2 as well as better battery backup though it will feel cheap and plasticy too at the same time its lighter than z2 and easier to operate with both hands also you will have to compensate aor a gig of ram too as s5 ha 2gb and z2 has 3gb of ram but dont worry s5 wont lag as it has high ram usage so all applcations are loaded into memory so opens faster.

                                    Hello, everyone!

                                    I just bought sony Xperia Z2, past I had Samsung Galaxy S3 and so Z2 has really fast performance (galaxy S3 was annoying slow), nice design, good battery life, but the camera is not good, worse than galaxy S3, and with Z2 I have really bad sound quality, when I talk with somebody (cant hear some words of caller, has some echo sounds, all callers said, that I sound like I am in barrel or something), and that is two really big minuses to Z2.

                                    So I am confused, because rewievs for Z2 were really good. And I think to change Z2 to galaxy S5. Can You please give me some advice? Maybe I have to change some options to Z2? ( I already switch off noise reduction)

                                    Thanks!
