      Tcool, 14 Apr 2014Maybe later Samsung will release the blue one worldwide. Shall I wait a few weeks more?Let me clear Mr/Ms Tcool,a lot of people compare every time theres a new predecessor like in Samsung S3 and S4,they said S4 is a minor upgrade from S3,and now S5 also a minor upgrade from S4 but infact there is a major upgrade in every predecessor.

        Banda, 14 Apr 2014I am happy with my 1 year 8 month old Nokia 701, with Frequent Heat up and then Battery Hang u... moreIt would be nice if you got things into perspective.

        EVERYBODY EVERYBODY has a hang up with Samsung using plastic as a shell

        The shell forms such an insignificant part of the total phone make up, you would think that it were "brain" and not say body hair.

        SAMSUNG USES GORILLA GLASS AS WELL(skip it) Multicore processor (skip it), you get the the picture

        I have a Nokia E6 Silver so METAL (it has alway had a S-line wave cover on it, but it has been scratched and on metal,is SO noticeable

        Any Galaxy S over a Nokia 701,is the better phone!

        There is NO need to have the latest Galaxy S
        I have the S2,on contract.
        BOTH The S3 or S4 came out whilst I was still in contract and all the offer is FASTER processor better camera etc, and yes cost more

        As far as the Galaxy S range goes, there is NO need for me to upgrade pay more for a better product, when all that product is / are not required

        The serious upgrade for me was the S2 Dual Core

        A metal phone will MARK visibly if you do not protect it

        Metal only feels premium due to it conducting heat better

        Why Samsung gets my vote is MICROSD expansion & removable battery,
        HTC are learning the lesson as now the have MICROSD expansion , put a removable battery in and HTC WILL take customers away from Samsung

        So as long as Samsung amkes better phones then I have no issue with the small amount of P L A S T I C it uses, the Galaxy S range are NOT TOYS

        My E6 MetaL is NOTICIBLY SCRATCHED

        Yes I would be better off with a S5 who wouldn't but there are some whose first experiance maybe an S4...
        Two years down the line an S7 may not even do it for them.

        The MORE expensive the phone the better some take care of it and an upgrade is "not required" as the phone works fine even after 2 years.

        Once you go Galaxy S you can't go back

        Anybody who has a metal phone uncovered WILL be using a scratched "premium feel2 phone within a matter of weeks

            Please review that post before trolling!

            As I quote:

Shall I wait a few weeks more?its up to you my friend,maybe they will release the blue after 2-3 weeks like in S4,S4 first release only white frost and black mist and after 2-3 weeks the arctic blue and black edition.but i compared the blue and black S5 id rather choose black,it is awesome in the hand unlike in the picture,plus add flip case or any case for the protection it was great for black,but the blue i really dont know if it was good or bad color.

Places where LTE is not provided cannot enjoy Snapdragon 801 chipset on the pho... morethe only difference of the two model is $100 so why are you bothered about the LTE if the phone is for future purposes?you can use it anywhere LTE tru mobile data carrier,where are you my friend?i think all over the world are using LTE bandwidth right now,unless you are in africa because africa is on LTE trial system they have no LTE yet.

                              You do not get premium look and feel even after spending Rs50000.

                                I am happy with my 1 year 8 month old Nokia 701, with Frequent Heat up and then Battery Hang up. I bought it for INR 17,750 with another INR 750 for a 16GB microSD Card. Frequent Hangs in the phone makes me annoying, but there is no other go. Wanted to purchase Samsung Mobile instead.
                                See the Prices in here:
                                Samsung Galaxy S INR 15,550 2010 April
                                Samsung Galaxy S2 INR 24,750 2011 April
                                Samsung Galaxy S3 INR 33,359 2012 April
                                Samsung Galazy S4 INR 41,390 2013 April
                                Samsung Galaxy S5 INR 51,500 2014 April
                                In the Same Lines
                                Samsung Galazy S6 may cost 68,550 in 2015 April.
                                Just waiting and watching this go.
                                All the above phones are all plastic.
                                Why to Waste Hard Earned money for the plastic.
                                Samsung, At least try to make a phone with Stainless Steel Body, with all necessary features for an amount of INR 50,500. I will surely buy it. But now.. No Chance..
