All mini's from so called "fagship mobile phones" are all useless why it's because they have lower SPECS they can not muster sales while flagship phones sales are slow due to it''s big and awkward size , with exception of some.

        And sry to say bt in india we have only octa core model. So I cant compare. Bt there r lag while opening some very basic items like contacts, call log etc.
        some time some games are crashed while starting it and shows the message " Report "

        Truly this octa core model is not worthy at all..

And I went to service centr also. But they told this much lag is considerable. This is a pathetic answer which I got from service provider. After counting a huge amount of money why should I consider this lag.

                  And the thing which I hate the most is it got 1.81 gb ram of available ram but nearly 1 to 1.2 gb ram occupies all the time.

                  Getting a worst experience from this octa core crap.

                            Samsung thinks Indians are fool.In Europe and American market this mobile sold with Qualcomm snapdragon 801 processor but in Indian market this mobile sold with cheap Exynor processor.
                            Goodbye Samsung.

Battery life (surely lasts a day even with heavy use), design (back cover is the best part, options, features, screen, camera (everyone wants to take pictures with my cellphone and honestly it's the best camera I have ever used)... the only thing that annoys me a bit is the flap cover but nothing to dramatize about it.
                              So please haters, liars, spammers, children... go and spam on another page. Real owners and those who need advices, ask meaningful questions... You are most welcomed

                                    The octa core version is damn worst phone ever. It lags all time wile opening an app or even contacts. In antutu it always shows 1.3 ghz 4 cores are working and rest cores are always sleeping. I am regrading by changing my Htc one M8q model with this pice of crap S5 G-900H..
                                    The only thing which is good abt this phone is the daylight photography. Waist of my money. Why the hell samsung dont sell the snapdragon version all over the world?? I wll never go for this pice of shit line-up again.

                                      if only Samsung make a not so big flagship phones under 5 inches screen they will become number one for so long ,only a fraction of the masses needs big phones the rest needs smaller ones. Big phones are awkward and disadvantageous in many ways.
