That is why Samsung flagship phones have almost identical audio quality as Iphones. They only differ on the loudness of the output, because Samsung takes into consideration that too loud sound output could damage your hearing.

        LCD screen is more power hungry than AMOLED adding the bigger screen size of Z2.
        So it is not true that Z2 has more battery backup.

          In this case it would be the same consumption even Z2 has higher battery capacity.

            after carefully reading all the comments and posts about both the iphone 5s and the Samsung S5 i feel having been an "iphoner?" i'm going to go for the samsung as i feel it is a much more advanced phone and has alot more to offer than the iPhone. please comment if you know/think different...?

              Anonymous, 09 Aug 2014Indeed..I bought s5, switch it to Z2 and I couldn't be happier..except for the Z2 charging time -_- The difference is the battery
              Z2: 3200 mAh
              S5: 2800 mAh
              The bigger the battery, more time needed to charge.The opposite more backup for Z2.

                            and am not talking about codec support.
                            i have tested my mp3 songs on 5s and i feel best audio experienced till date.
                            htc comes at second position.(i have used m7)
                            samsung s5 comes at third.
                            my s5 G900H and now g900i is far behind than my previously used 5s even with apple's tripods.
                            .
                            and there is lot of hype that wolfson DAC g900h is better than s5's snapdragons variants.
                            but after using both g900h and g900i, i find that g900i has slightly better output than my previously used g900h

                                    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.
