Before going to purchase it, just look few reviews about the HUAWEI HONOR 6. Normally Octa-Core processors are extremely overheating, just consider that thing. I think Xiaomi Mi4 also another great phone which you can buy at a competitive price with high-end specs.
Good Luck for your decision.

Tcool, 01 Aug 2014Correction, it is Mali-T628 MP6 not MP4.

Sp... moreThe Octa-Core processor is not a huge game changer. You will hardly notice the difference of the performance or never. Quad-Core CPU is more than enough for a smartphone. According to tech geeks, Mali-T628 MP6 is not good as Adreno 330 in gaming. However, the difference is not too much identical. I agree with darkgamer with this part "the s5 octa uses the t628mp6 and that is also below in performance compared to adreno 330."
Just wait for the Xperia Z3 with Snapdragon 805 CPU with Adreno 420 GPU. I hope it will outperform the Huawei Honor 6. The Xperia Z3 has to announce in this September.

Never buy this phone as when you travel overseas the network will be locked though you have purchased your phone unlocked and samsung cannot fix the problem as they don't know how to tackle with this issue.
Pathetic phone and service. Better buy an apple product which is almost @ same value.

Tcool, 01 Aug 2014I prefer Huawei Honor 6 than HTC M8.

The s5 octa uses the t628mp6 and that is also below in performance compared to adreno 330 so the mp4 will have much lesser performance.
It seems like a decent phone but spec monsters aren't great phones. Let's wait for the reviews.

Tcool, 01 Aug 2014I prefer Huawei Honor 6 than HTC M8. Will look at this phone. I am kinda old school actually, still believe in brands and all, so don't really have much / any idea about Huawei. But they're making a big impression, so need to check it out seriously.

The sound quality was awesome (with my XBA-H1), that's quite expected though. Also, I had the Snapdragon version, the G900F, it doesn't have the Wolfson chip, so if you buy the G900H, the Indian Octa core version audio will be even better, but I guess you know that already.

Quantic, 01 Aug 2014Thanks for your amazing reply Saurav Ghosh, do you think its worth the wait for a few more pho... moreAnytime.
If you're open to any size then yes, it's better to wait for Note 4. Note series are optimized better than S series, regardless of whatever people say, and the S-Pen related features are implemented really well. So if you're okay with Phablets then you could wait for Note 4, it's almost there, just wait out this month.
S6? Lol, it's almost 8/9 months to go for the next S flagship, so no choice really.
From other phones, I personally am waiting for the Z3 Compact obviously, let's see what Sony does there. And my primary target is S5 Google Play Edition, quite unbelievable it's still not released yet! I don't even look at most phones nowadays, because there are very few phones which can be operated with human hands any more, so M8, Z2, G3, those phones are nonexistent to me to be honest.
PS : As a current owner of Moto X, I'm also waiting to see what X+1 will bring. I'm a very happy owner after all, and after a horrible experience with S4 Exynos, this phone brought back life to me, even with it's below average camera and just fine display :)

Like the Note 4 or S6 for example. Or shall I purchase the S5 now? Thanks again for your input!
