Go for Samsung note 2 or note 3 . These phones will not hang as their RAM is more and no software bugs.

              I dont know why people are saying bad for this as i am using this for last 2 months and honestly there is no other device to even come close to this monster.
              I think those who are saying this bad actually havn't used this in real....this is so fast & no laggy at all and what a fablous camera with handsome battery life....its almost perfect
              Samsung you rocks always:-)

                        Bought Galaxy S5 for about 3 months by now. Wanted to opt out of Samsung but found myself with it again.
                        Pros:
                        -Best battery lifetime I had for a smart phone ever. Gives me around 16 hours of heavy use. Music, browsing, wifi and high accuracy GPS mode always on.

                        -Built is by far better than S3 and S4 and feels good in hand. Yes it is plastic but of premium kind.

                        -Super fast. Prompt response. Zero hangs since I bought.

                        -Phase detection camera feature is a little bit hard to get used to. But once you master it. It will give you best pics ever looks like taken from a DSLR camera rather than a smart phone. Use phase detection feature only in daylight for best results. Can't praise it enough.

                        -Built in IR Remote control works like magic. Use it with TV, satalite and setup top box, AC and DvD players, home theatre.

                        -although I dont use this much. Heartbeat sensor works. Pedometer also is a nice feature helps you monitor walking/running activities and record history and even encourages you to do more.

                        -Many free premium subscriptions to paid apps worth of around couple hundreds of $. Linkedin premium, Bloomberg+, Wall Street journal premium, lark and some other useful stuff. For periods from 3 month up to a year.

                        - very fast charging/data transmission using USB 3 cable, but you can still use normal mini USB same like S3 and S4

                        - dedicated task switcher button. It has normal menu button hidden in it by long pressing (took me a challenge to know that)

                        -very effective ultra power saving mode gives you option of extending battery for almost 12 hours using only around 10% of charge with limited functions.

                        Cons:
                        - Loud speaker is mono? It is good when you put something behind it to amplify sound. But could be better.
                        - USB 3 cable is not included in retail package. You buy it if you want it.
