... moreThis smartphone has quad core CPU and powerful GPU with no heatsink or fan its bound to warm up..Under the circumstances with all this horsepower in a small package its a unbelievable feat of engineering that todays smartphone does not go on fire.
I see they are starting to have problems with SD810 though..They can only go so far as the GHz is now approaching the limt of even desktop Core I7.
I thought Lollipop,Dalvik and Project Volta were supposed to remedy the need for all this horsepower but it seems not..Someone told me its needed for 4K video recording but seems overkill.Maybe future computing will involve dedicated GPU'S to perform different functions.Anyway we all know we love all this tech so bring on quad core 4.0GHz 8GB RAM Adreno 1000 smartphones.

1 Battery Backup
... more1) Battery Back up is awesome .. on wifi full day it can hardly last 2 days and n mobile data one day
2)There are no hanging and heating issues
Note:
Any Phone hangs only when more apps are opened in back ground
use Advanced task killer or battery doctor
and use those widgets on home screen and refress every 1/2 hour
There is no slow charging usm 3.0 .. is blazing fast
when phone is off charging full ups to 100% in 45-50 min
when u charge phone while phone is on it full charges 100% in 1 hour 20 min
Regarding Heating issues,
any phone heats when u use the phone while charging
and dont use them under sun light
PS : it is best phone available now
.. dont think too much

Stagemom, 15 Jan 2015The phone has a lot of great features but I dislike that when you take a video, it shows up si... morewould advise user holds the phone sideways ( horizontal ) to get picture and video taken the right way.
if you hold phone upright ( vertical ) then when you rotate the phone or play the clip on computer you end up with Vertical video syndrome.

The phone has a lot of great features but I dislike that when you take a video, it shows up sideways on my computer. I have to run it through software to make it portrait. And pictures are now doing the same. Must have been the last update.

Watch everyone with the Galaxy S5 and wanting the Lollipop Update,because after the Update i did Yesterday,All the Data on/off Widgets from the Play Store will not Work now,so you now have to Slide Screen Down All the Time to Turn Your Data on and the Off,i use to be Able just to Touch the Widgets on my screen and turn the data on/off that quickly,but now its very annoying having to slide the screen down All the time

Liking this phone a lot and one thing is standing out,,,,grip..I have no case on this like i did my Nokia's and find that it;s secure in the hand.So much more to do and much more fun Android..IOS is great simple stress free and super polished video recording every time but boring.My Sony Z3C has failed me too many times with video recording just cannot trust it cause crashes a lot.
Problems are battery life is short and using 50% brightness..This size of phone is absolute limit i just hope Sammy keep it this size..I want to try Nexus 6 but it's ridiculous size..
Cannot see much difference with lollypop just aesthetics really and Quadrant gives mega slow 5060 so must be something wrong maybe not Lollipop optimised.Got couple of Polish apps on this ROM which is understandable e-Kiosk and Rzeczpospo ?????

Most popular beast on GSM Arena. Don't know why it is so popular, I see people's hate about S5. Including many senior tech reviewers. I have the Exynos version tho

Upgraded to the Samsung Galaxy S5 recently. The camera quality is excellent and the phone is waterproof. I use the Ultra Power Saving Mode whenever I am not using my phone. It's still sitting on 80% after 2 days.
There are lots of features that I like on it so I am very happy with the quality of the Galaxy S5. Highly recommended.
