AnonD-364252, 10 Mar 2015they are still selling it at price around 30k in India, price should be below 25k as samsung ... moreI think wil get reduce after S6 retail launch in India. Also manually upgrading to Lollipop is vry worst as it eats up RAM..n battery drains vry fast..better wait till devices cum wid pre-installed Lollipop. I'm gonna buy then only.

      price should be below 25k as samsung has lost its top position to apple. expecting the price to reduce within a week. those who are planning to buy this phone should wait as you can get a good deal.

          My question for those who have updated to android lollipop. What is available space for internal apps? Also can we move all of the apps to SD card now? In KitKat we face the restriction of read write to SD card. So in this latest update the problem of limited memory for apps is solved completely?

            It is better than the Apple I-phone. the camera does not have all the features that the S4 has.

                i had an iphone 4s, samsung galaxy note 2, galaxy s3, sony xperia z ultra, htc windows phone 8x, lg nexus 4, and a lot more but i find this s5 the best because of the following reasons:
                1. the camera is so so so excellent! especially in daylight instances. but it needs an improvement on low light conditions. nevertheless, the best so far.
                2. its user friendly. among all the launchers i used, even nova launcher, i disposed them all because of their ugliness. i love touchwiz and its snapiness.
                3. we cant forget the battery life. i got 2 days of usage with 6-8 hours on scrren time. im not bothered to bring extra battery or powerbanks, im perfectly confident about its battery...
                4. waterproof
                5. its build is not that ugly, its very innovative. glass back panels feel so smudgy after a while of usage...

                some says that g3, m8, iphone 6 are better than s5 but lets not ignore the best teacher, experience.

                due to the fact that it satisfied everything i need, i think i'll be turning a blind eye on the s6 and wait for another year. :)

                                        I got this phone and very disappointed in everything, especially the camera, it's so slow, the worst camera in a Galaxy S series. When I adjusted to automatic brightness its becomes so damn darker. This phone is a craft. I just got it today and I will S4 instead..
