The Galaxy S5 is a proper phone. Big enough to use graphics impressively and bangs out luminance powerfully enough to WOW clients on the go.
What I hate about it is the Google infestation. What I love about it is the ability to delete all the miserable faddy stuff and keep the business suites.
You can install what you needs; lightning fast recovery; diverse enough to satisfy the geeky and solid enough in use and configurability to suit the working hordes.
Its too thin. Samsung, its too thin. Thin is nice for the suit pocket but its a pig to hold without flipping it slightly and touching something non-relevant to what youre working on.
A bit more body to it please.
The size is great. Images and the camera are stunning. The panorama software is mind blowing. Excellent for BG's in Animation Engineering.
Charges fast. Battery lasts all day even when you've worked it really hot with video and presentations.
This is the first phone Ive been comfortable with for Calls, Text messages, Video Resolution, Image quality and size. No waste face space. All screen. Nice!
If you'd made it bigger Id have bought I again.

        The 2 things I like about the phone are the long battery life and the larger screen......what I absolutely hate about this phone is that if you work like I do....and I dont mean people who work in quiet offices but real workers that do physical labor.....you cant hear the phone ring even on high.....you cant even feel it vibrate in your pocket.....I am going back to my Sony Experia with a cracked screen so I dont have to constantly miss calls....the switching between phone calls is screwed up as well in comparison to every other phone I have owned....it will make an expensive paper weight for my desk.....or maybe I can video me using it to skip across a lake..it is flat enough...I will bet it will go further than any other phone on the market....

              Is there any way that you perhaps can put on a notification if you received an Whatsupp or BBM while your data is offline.

                              I have Galaxy S5 dous G900FD and I'm satisfied of it so far. The camera is good, no signs of lags on heavy use,battery performance is stunning. Don't find any problem up to now except speaker a little bit low even you set at max point. In general, Galaxy S5 a killer phone up to date. I'm proud to have Samsung Galaxy S5.

                                    Some dual sims are for other regions/markets.. buy online to find a dual sim dual lte capability.. you cannot use the same sims twice like in calls or lte data.. At least you dont carry two phones..

                                      Sharon, 01 Oct 2014But how come some are dual sim and some are not? Is it just as good as the single sim? I'm a Chinese.Based on my search,samsung have consociation with a Chinese carrier company called CMCC. And CMCC released a type of S5 thats has two sim-slots. BTW,I hate S5 have so many different versions, that will have problems if I switch carrier or travel to other countries.
