darkgamer, 08 Aug 2014You might know that Samsung releases 2 versions of their flagships with different audio chips ... moreYeah. True because exynos is manufuctured by samsung so exynos has advantage over snapdragon.. i cant see any difference between mali and adreno of snapdragon.. but exynos is more powerdull than snapdragon.... most of people say that adreno 330 is more powerfull than mali t628mp6 i can say that mc5 is more detailed on mali over adreno... the advantage snapdragon versionit has 4G lte ...but i think multitasking perdormance is more important than 4G lte.. and u can see on samsung website the add of s5 shows s5 exynos version amd not snapdragon.... exynos is full developed by samsung but snapdragon not.. and sorry for bad language

Anonymous, 08 Aug 2014Is there any difference between s5 audio/music quality and s4 audio/music quility.As I fond of... moreYou might know that Samsung releases 2 versions of their flagships with different audio chips or DACs (dedicated audio chip). One is snapdragon or LTE version with qualcomm DAC and other is exynos version with wolfson DAC. Now exynos version is always better due to better DAC used.
As far as i know. S5 exynos is the best and s4 snapdragon is worst compared between these 4.
S5 exynos is better than s4 exynos.
S5 exynos is better than s5 snapdragon
S4 exynos is better than s4 snapdragon.
Now between s4 exynos and s5 snapdragon I'm not quite sure. I belive saurav ghosh would know it as he used s5 snapdragon and s4 exynos both.
but all are good. If you're an audiophile, go for exynos.

AnonD-89109, 08 Aug 2014TouchWiz is EXACT same, the core is same, like it was on S4.
Also the camera on the S5 is '... moreI've used both cameras in detail and i found out the result to be quite different than yours.
Firstly, both are great cameras and arguably the best on android.
Still shots: both are plain great with loads of detail, good exposure, edge to edge sharpness. S5 has an edge in sharpness but only little. The areas s5 excels is the focus time and dynamic range.
Modes and features: s5 hands down. Live HDR, virtual tour, HDR and stabilisation can be simultaneous. That means great dynamic range in low light shots and many other features and removed the useless ones.
Low light: in auto mode, both take useless shots with lot of noise and black shots.
Turn on stabilisation in s5 and night mode in s4 and you get some good shots. S5 has a slight edge if you turn on HDR also.
Video: no comparison here. 1080p pales against 4k. Also the 1080p on s5 uses super sampling that results in much better 1080p videos. I've seen many reviews and the s5 takes better videos than lumia 1020 even in 1080p mode. 4k crushes it. S4 takes great videos and is on par with most of phones but s5 is out if this world.
It doesn't take a genius to notice the difference between both. And I'm just an amateur. The better dynamic range, 16:9 viewfinder, live HDR, more saturated but not over the top colours, phase detection, 4k video all add up to a better experience.
And this is coming from s4 owner who tried s5 for 3 days.

S5 is claiming IP67 protection is it?
6 stands for dust tight and 7 stands for 1 meter submersion for 30 minutes.
Will samsung honor warranty if hypothetically say I bought one then accidentally dropped it in the sink(with water of course)unintentionally and water seeps through the circuit board and shorted the phone?

Also the camera on the S5 is 'slightly' better than S4, and practically even a professional photographer won't be able to tell a difference between two shots!

Wazdon, 07 Aug 2014I have been using the Samsung Galaxy S5 for five months now. I have noticed two major issues: ... moreHey ... check if your PC hardware is good enough because the videos this device records are some of the heaviest. Device heat is something normal for Android for now. The problem is not the hardware but the OS which is slowly moving towards perfection and still needs work to get the speed, stability and reliability of iOS.
