        AnonD-267673, 29 May 2014Display Type LED-backlit (IPS LCD), capacitive touchscreen, 16M colorsi want to see Display S... moreA 1080 * 1920 display at 6 inches can't have 471 ppi. That's going to have 368 PPI.

        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

          Handy shortcuts I used in My G900F are the toolbox and multi window without installing any third app.
          I can really multi task without ending the current app and no lag at all!

            Activate multi window in S5 and if I want to hide the multi window arrow, just long press the capacitive back key and it will not be shown. Long press again anytime and it will appear as long as it is activated on the settings.

Most of the specs you ask are unrealistic. And the Galaxy S5 camera already has a high megapixel count. Next time they should should increase the sensor size because it already has enough sharpness and performs really well on most scenarios, they just need to improve on that and reduce noise.

                    How many different ways are to use a phone lol ? Or should I just keep it on my pocket and never use it .

Just admit the ... moreOn some comments above he called a guy who said he owned both Z2 I think and S5 , a rich troll. But now he says he has all Samsung flagships including the Note 3 and the new GS5. Something is really fishy here.

                      Or he is just a real Hypocrite saying things like when me and my brand do a bad thing it's fine and should be overlooked but others should always be accused of the same things I do and called names without any proof and based only on his words .

I barely use data locally. My HTC currently only has 11.01 GB occupied. Most of things I use are in the cloud like my music with Deezer (a Spotify alternative for europe) The only thing my memory is occupied is by photos and apps. And I don't play games. I only have Asphalt 8 which I only keep it when I'm stuck somewhere alone and waiting for something. And I only install the apps I need not a ton so there are not many Apps running on the background using RAM.

                        You are telling me it's when using too much memory but even if that was true what about people whose sole purpose of buying Galaxies is for expandable storage to keep lots of music and movies. That's like a slap to the face for them saying dont use much data locally because your phone will malfunction.
