Call quality is really crisp from handset.

That has been typical of S series so far great DAC but power amplifier part is cheap and shoddy giving nice audio but shoddy power output via 3.5mm jack..

AnonD-224578, 06 May 2014I don't think iPhones are basic. Back in 2007 if Apple did not introduce iPhone, Google will n... moreLet's be real, Samsung's "tricks and gimmicks" were called that by tech journalists who weren't really techy at all and only knew how to use ios. Now a few years later and with people learning more about technology, same journalists display more cautiousness and even sometimes bend over backwards praising Samsung more.
If anything, it's Apple who mastered making those tricks and gimmicks into a marketing ploy called innovation. No native video call function? Make a proprietary app and call it "face time". Phone doesn't have the highest ppi? Argue that at a certain resolution, pixels will not really matter to the naked eye and brand it "retina display".

brightlight, 06 May 2014There are a lot of samsung paid staff who sits from morning to do online marketing. We underst... morePersonaly, i have yet to see a S5 32gb. There are none available in europe.
Then you didn't use any S5 i think. The 16gb has 11gb available to user, not 4gb. And there's almost nothing preinstalled on the phone when you unpack it (no chat@n, bloomberg, watchon etc..) in case you wanted to say it's bloated.
Then, my guess is that either there are many trolls / liars around or many people buy unofficial Samsung phones thinking they are real (that exists). Especially out of Europe, Korea and USA.
I have seen no Galaxy defective around me since S2, i know there can be troubles with some units but i know many people who never got a real hardware problem with their phone excepted battery draining (due to bad roms or apps).

Tcool, 06 May 2014Number 2 and 4 are the same, so that would be only 4 bad. 5 good wins.And number 5 doesn't count if he didn't notice there are different settings for display to get adobe rgb colors since S4.

I am not a spy of htc. i just gave a fair reply. i am from uae and i bought s5 from gitex shopping festival. i bought it from emax and now they are not replacing the phone also. worst service from samsung and emax. . noone should buy from emax. samsung dont want to spread the news that their product is an ultimate failure. thats why rejecting replacement as well.

As you said "many features", can you mention few?
