    harsh shah, 13 Jul 2014Guys i have got mixed reviews 4 s5 plz help me decide is it worth 38k current price in croma... moreNo, no phone is worth 38k, let alone S5. If you value your money wait, maybe a month, and it should come near 30k. It's already around 35k for the Indian Exynos, if you don't mind getting that.

    If size isn't an issue, then look at Sony Z2 too.

      And one thing, Android has Tasker. One app, 1 single app.

              If we flash iphone itune can backup till last registered calls and last sms sent and received.can your android get the these backup with out rooting or third party apps.

              S4 or s5 out of 16gb 10gb usable that too apps can be installed on phone memory not on external but once again rooting or third part apps needed.

              bluetooth hope you spend your life on sending music and files through bluetooth and give way for malware.except that iphone connect to bluetooth devices even car audio and headset for call better range than android phones.

                  Restricted to iTunes downloads/uploads, restrictions to memory, restrictions to extra battery, restrictions to bluetooth connectivity and basic phone features are born out of iPhones. Just like a slave to his iTunes master, no freedom!

                  What are you doing in Samsung page?
                  Looking for freedom?

If you don't have S5, you ain't knew a thing about S5 ability. Many features don't even written down on paper or been review...they are await to be discover by user. Put that 5s away and get out of here!

Also you'll have to use same resolutions for both. Also think of the thickness of the panel.

                              And can you tell me what advantage you'll get??? I can't think of any. Besides, IPS doesn't have any advantage over OLED so a simple OLED is the best.

                              Anyway, kudos for the idea. I liked it.

A very expensive and inefficient one, but an idea nevertheless. What if instead of using a single WLED backlight for IPS LCD, you use an OLED display as the backlight? The OLED backlight could be simplified so it can only display white or black BUT it can switch this per pixel. Meaning you get all the beneifit of OLED in IPS. Except this would eat battery for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Unless a special OLED could be made just for the purpose which is much more efficient.
