    Yeah U are right.

    Just made S4 into uglier, heavier, Thicker and calling it as Flagship.

    S4 having good ergonomics and High pixel density.

    S4 black leather edition is the best & no way nearer to this Grand 3 in disguise.

        I bought the S5 Duos primarily for data connectivity multiple networks and do not use it as a phone. Over the last 2 months I have suffered repeated link drops without recovery, sim card drops that do recover and even wifi data freezes all on a several times a day basis. The sim card drops have been mitigated by turning on only one sim and leaving the other off which sucks as I usually have to restart the S5 twice to make the switch or pull the battery. Link drops are the worst as it seems to occur during critical data transfers and always requires a battery pull to recover from. The wifi freezes take a minute or two to clear on their own and does not seem to be related to my wifi device as its monitored and there is not data stoppage on its end. This may be a great phone and takes surprisingly nice pictures, but as a data device its a POS and will be replaced. Not worth the high price and I would not recommend to my worst enemy.

                Hi everybody I own an S5 for the past 6 months and I would like to say that the handset is really good except for a few features where the battery gets drained off way too fast which I noticed since last month when I changed to a 4G network (it retains the power for just 8 to 10 hours depending on the usage) and at a very few occasions it hangs up which is also OK as you know the software sometimes gives a glitch which is totally understandable. The functions of the phone is really great and very fast as of today. I hope the guys from samsung can read this post and maybe improve their device in the future ones. I am a great fan of the samsung's S series and I would love the get the next one i.e. the S6 if the guys can really improvise the device.

                      Don't use Samsung Galaxy S5...
                      if u don't like..


                      for me, its the best so far..

                      don't compare it to others.. just look for its overall function..
                      comparing it after you buy is just trolling.. u shud only compare your phone if it really fails you (except factory defect)

                      each one of us has a prospective of buying a smart phone.

                      for me, this is the best so far..

Imagine I tried to take video at night the video is unempresive, dicouraging. Very discouraging not worth for my money.. It was a mistake buying this type of phone..

                              I compare the video quality on my iPhone 4s the result is too far from iPhone 4s. The light is very awful. try to take a video at night no light at all then check if the video is good or not... Correct me if im wrong.
