    alban, 30 Jan 2015where the smart scroll in android 5.0 for samsung galaxy s5...??I think they got rid of it. I wasn't using this option but i just compared my S5 lollipop to my Alpha kitkat : the option is on the Alpha and not anymore on the S5 lollipop.

    I hate this whole debate that Samsung has to remove all cool functions of Touchwizz. I was buying Galaxy series for that, not to get an empty phone as i'm used to say.

                        k, 28 Jan 2015Note 3 would be a better choice otherwise S4 would be fine.Note 3 is 5.7", waaaay too big. But why S4 instead of S5?

                          Initially I didn't liked it when compared to SG 4 but I'm fan of Samsung Phones, I do like it but my rating is 4/5 for SG 5, best thing about the phone is performance and camera.

                              The metal-esque edges of the phone easily chip. Its build quality is not stellar, to say the least.

                                Charlie, 28 Jan 2015Best phone I have ever owned! It is fantastic! Can't wait for S6!To CHARLIE:

                                Based on my experience with the S5, it's indeed a good smartphone (or SUPER SMARTPHONE as CNET (cnet.com) puts it). As I said before, a lot of people who bash this phone haven't used it or own it long enough to see how good it is.

                                      A little help guys, please! I want to purchase a new phone and i want to choose between S4 (i9505 preferably) and S5. I have small palms and i'm 1.60m, so i know handling it will be a little problem. Money aren't really a big problem. The costs for each of it in my country are: S5 489 euro vs S4 356 euro. For S4 i can buy it with monthly rates from an internet provider. I wanted the Lumia 830, got a chance to check it out in a store, but i wasn't too impressed, although it's beautiful, but i want to put backround photos, to customize it. Keep in mind i want to make an investment with the new phone, i mean to have it for more than 3 years.. So, it's worth to buy the S4, which is older or the S5 which is newer? I want a good phone, with good battery (i like the battery save mode from S5), good camera and good specs. Please help. Thank you in advance :)
