      Purchased S5 on 09th July, from day 1 had issue of echo. Person who on another side used to hear his/her voice twice with disturbance. Initially I though it was issue with my Vodafone Network. The issue was intermediate and got worse day by day. I changed the sim with IDEA/Airtel/BSNL the issue still persist.
      Went to Service center in Andheri(Mumbai) came to know that it is serviceable in only two parts of Mumbai i.e. Vile Parle and Borivali. So sad I stay in Thane.
      From 06.Aug till present day its in Service Center with no response from Hcl Service Center at Vile parle. What a waste of my precious money, still running behind them on daily basis. It's very tough to get Service Center guys on their help line number. Sammy your Service Center is unable to handle so much volume of calls and people. Such a huge line outside service center.... Is the quality of recent Samsung product questionable???

        i was a fan of samsung before then, it just occur to me that there are much more cheaper phone that has a quality that can compete with the S5.
        But, I will give some appreciation to this phone.
        My cousin bought this phone and we went to the pool and we can actually take clear pictures even the pool is not so that clear but it must not be that so long because the phone will lag but the thing is, it's still a waterproof HAHAHA

          Samsung got same recognition as Nokia got earlier for phone pricing. Same hardware,specifications and quality of phone is available in market for 15000 rupees in India which Samsung selling in 35000 rupees in their showroom. Oh God! Very bad future of Samsung.

            How many days Samsung will charge the premium price for the simple phone which is not as good quality as it should be?

                  AnonD-44274, 11 Aug 2014no there is no difference when you listening through headphones. previously i have used s4 I9... moreIphone 5s LOOOOOOOOL.

                  Iphone doesn't have a very good audio quality. Heck, it doesn't even play FLAC. I can say you know nothing about audio.

                  I have heard through all of them through a quality headphones and there is a lot of difference.

                  G900H has the best audio output due to the wolfson DAC followed closely by m8. G900I and i9500 are quite close but g900i is slightly better as it plays 24 bit FLAC. Iphone 5s comes last out of them. Poor codec support and not enough clarity.

                          Anonymous, 10 Aug 2014Is there any difference in audio quality between s4 and s5 Anybody having any experience as I... moreno there is no difference when you listening through headphones.
                          previously i have used s4 I9500 for nine months, S5 SM-G900H for one month and now am using S5 SM-G900I all are same.

Why g900h is a crap.. do u think all g900h lags or has a some degault or problems in ita software or hardware.... do u think all g900f that produced by samsung does not lagg . My friend have g900f and lags like hell and he is a master im formatics and know how to use android phone but i think some s5 with 2 versions have problems when they are assembled by engineerings. I have g900h and g900f and runs like they have 100000GZ cpu and gpu technology of 2020....i think every one purchased a phone it is depend on his/her luck.. and sorry for bad language....
