AnonD-257122, 23 Jul 2014I wanna know how it beats the S4?My friend who bought a Xiaomi Mi3 from Ebay showed me. He has a Galaxy S4 Exynos version too. He showed me how powerful it is. The basic aps such as phone book, message, internet even games can open 2-3 seconds faster than the Galaxy S4.

Except display and camera, Xiaomi Mi3 can beat the Galaxy S4 in performance. But that doesn't mean that Mi3 has a bad display and a camera.

    AnonD-257122, 23 Jul 2014I wanna know how it beats the S4?It has snapdragon 800 which is better than the snapdragon 600 in s4 LTE.

    Now comparing snapdragon 800 to exynos s4 is difficult.both have similar CPU . But the adreno 330 in snapdragon 800 is faster than the powervr sgx544mp3 of exynos 5410.

          When I bought my s5 I thought it would be the best thing ever. However, I live in an area with lots of dead zone and my other phone which is an iPhone 4 has a much better antenna. I am not happy with the Samsung s5

                      And it doesn't beat the hell out of s5. It cheats on benchmarks. Samsung did it too last year.

                      Check other benchmarks. And GPU isn't the only component in the phone. S5 has a better camera, a better screen, better Battery life etc.

                      I would take that over a 3% GPU power any day.

                        Andddd that is the main issue here.Dont you understand now,
                        how the $299 phone(ONE+1) are more powerful with half of the GS5 premium price.

                        We don care if samsung programmer are not good in
                        writing the gpu code,but at least lower the price.

                        Thats what puzzle the whole android fans now.

                            in the FUTUREMARK GPU hierarcy"http://www.futuremark.com/hardware" test.Hard to believe

                            How come this happen???
                            Snapd801(MSM8974AC) slower than note 3(S800).
                            This is so confuse....something not right with this phone gpu performance.
                            Or maybe S5 gpu driver was written badly by samsung
                            engineer.
                            This is need to be correct and samsung must release new firmware to correct this matter.
                            By right the S5 should beat Note3 interms of GPU graphical 3D horsepower.Even asus padfone X get better score and its just only S800 wit slower gpu clocked.

                            Hello sammy...Please look at this S5 gpu issue and correct it.

                              I have owned Samsung Android phones including S3,S4,Note2,Note3 and Three S5's,they are the best phones on the market because they are fast,efficient etc.iphones are garbage and yes I had a couple of them also.I did not like the format iphones ran with because they are too cluttered and not user friendly.The S5 is the cats meow in phone tech today.

                                My phone got an update today. After the update, there is a new application called " My Samsung" and when you try to click that, it will ask you to download it. However, this app is applicable in UK only.
                                So what was that update all about huh?
