      I was one of the many who bashed the S5 before it launched and even after it launched. Upon getting my very own S5 I realised that it's the best Galaxy S out of the bunch...feature wise. I have learnt my lesson...never judge a book by it's cover.

      Don't judge a smartphone until you have actually used one well enough.

                    If u want medium sized phone go to s5

                    My suggestion is s5 as AMOLED is more brighter..vivid and colours are punchy

                            AnonD-1385, 20 Jan 2015My friends thanks for your input about Lollipop. I will stick to my KitKat 4.4.2. In fact I ha... moreFrankly, excepted notification settings, there are absolutely nothing new in this update.

                            S5 won't be faster (for new readers, phone is already one of the fastest phones)

                            And i repeat, we loose blocking mode feature
                            (i searched all menus)

                              My friends thanks for your input about Lollipop. I will stick to my KitKat 4.4.2. In fact I have turned off Auto update because I don't want the phone updating to anything else.

                                drakula, 19 Jan 2015I just updated my S5 to android lollipop via samsung kies. And guess what? I dont like it!Same for me, Lollipop update went official here too for me today but...

                                What The Hell???

                                1- UI is too bright now.
                                2- And just noticed before going to bed that Samsung removed (or forgot I HOPE?) BLOCKING MODE !

                                I need to go back to kitkat, this update is so overrated. Only people seeing improvements are people with slow/old/midrange phones
