    There is so any reason for fighting over phones or any brand. Let's share happiness each other whatever phone you own.

      AnonD-268874, 30 May 2014hi you know there is a couple phone are equal to this phone if you compare it like samsung gal... moreOhh. Thanks. I learned something new today. That more RAM makes a device faster. I never knew it before.

      What i knew was that it is the processor and "RAM speed" which determine that a phone is slow or fast. Processor mostly determines app loading and general performance. Faster processor with a light skin= unrivaled performance. RAM speed is important for faster multitasking and switching between the apps quickly. The RAM capacity only comes at work when your RAM goes full and that's highly unlikely to happen on a 2 GB RAM phone and impossible on android 4.4. So if you make an android phone with 16 GB phone, it's not going to be faster than a 2GB RAM phone unless you use a faster RAM or chipset.

      But that is the false knowledge i knew. I am truly enlightened by the new information you gave me. Now I can compare the phone's speed easily and correctly.

      Thanks for the information sir. Have a nice day.

            Anonymous, 30 May 2014One thing is certain that he is extremely biased towards Samsung. Or I'm seriously suspicious ... moreIf you visit to forums such as XDA Developers and Android Central you will get honest opinions from users. There are no any bias fans-boys there, but only genuine users who always admit and express pros and cons of phones which they are using. I owned a Galaxy S5 around two weeks and sold it. Right now, I’m using an HTC M8. As a genuine user, I have certainly mentioned that the camera on HTC M8 is fairly poor. That’s the only drawback that I see on my M8. I never hesitate to express pros and cons of any phone which I’m using. I have been using smart phones since I was 14 and I have used many brands. I have no any favourite brand but I have given priorities for some brands.

            Indeed, you have the right to express anything what you have experienced. No one can deter anyone who expresses his/her idea here.

            Calm down guys.

                Robot286, 30 May 2014When I told him that, he said I was a troll and said my posts needed to deleted.One thing is certain that he is extremely biased towards Samsung. Or I'm seriously suspicious he is getting payed by Samsung. He even goes as far as saying people who don't support Samsung should burn to hell. This is really a very very bad mentality. He has created his own church of Samsung and everybody who isn't a part of it is a heretic for him.

                One time he admits that the lag might be from to much memory using as another commenter said and he agreed on that and next time he says no there is never lag not even once.( Anynomous TmSCa is also me)

                    hi you know there is a couple phone are equal to this phone if you compare it like samsung galaxy j/oneplus one/htc on(m8)/lg g pro 2 .
                    s5 is better than the phones that i named about camera
                    and a few add just but the basic are equal
                    the phones are better than s4 with the ram
                    s4 has 2gb ram but the others have 3gb ram and 1gb ram is a different to make the phone faster or slow it

                      This guy did not have s5 and is a Samsung troller and marketer
                      During last few years, they advertised about Samsung devices
                      You can see this group of guys several Samsung phones user opinion pages
                      Don't believe in them
                      I am a Z2 user and they also trolled in our Sony forum with other nick names
                      Have a nice day,

                                        The highest IP water rating is IPX8(X can be any number) and that tops at 1.5 meter for 30 min. So i think what you're demanding is not going to be fulfilled.

                                        Plus you're dreaming. A 100dB speaker can't be on a smartphone. Do you know, even portable speakers of the size of phone can't output 100dB. You need a home theater for that. My laptop has big JBL stereo speakers and they too max out at 90dB. So 100 dB from a phone is a dream. Do you know decibel system is logarithmic and a 100dB sound is 1000 times more intensity than 70 dB which is max sound of good speakers in mobiles.

                                        Although the 5000 mAh can be solved. Just purchase a phone with removable battery and search for zerolemon batteries. I think there are even close to 10000(10 thousand) mAh batteries available for s4 and s5.

                                        Keep dreaming, but your dreams aren't practical. Just go for the phone you like.

                                        Have a nice day
