        Store demos are ALWAYS slow. You need to try a real model to base your opinion.

Frankly guys, S4 was the best of the series for now in my opinion (excepted for brightness, cpu and maybe battery off course).

            I had a few phones like that like motorola and so, it's quite comparable, i don't think it will wear off easily if you don't pull it off like a kid each time.

              OK Guys.

              Just bought a S5 because i had a good deal in my country upon reselling my previous phone (S4) to the store. My S4's screen had been replaced a few weeks ago and it wasn't quite the same as the original (redish top and yellowish bottom on a white screen..), so i wanted to get rid of it since i received it back from my insurance.

              Phone performance seems great (fast boot, fast installs,i haven't tested it much for now), screen is quite bright compared to before.

              Design is almost like a S2 from front, and seriously, i prefer the back of my previous S4. It was far better. There's absolutely no advantage despite what reviews are saying, the dotted back isn't giving me more grip, maybe the material but it's barely noticeable.

              About that material, so many comments wars about samsung plastic. Well, i disagreed most comments about S3/4. They were made from poly- thing and felt great in my hands (i owned all Galaxy S). But that one on S5, i don't know what it is, but it's really feeling cheap to my taste, especially in white (the only one i could get from the deal). Back cover is just like on pictures, it depends on lighting but it goes from ok to ugly. And i really loved my S4's design / material.

              Second important thing: i hope samsung will read me (i seriously doubt it) : THEY REMOVED QUICK GLANCE FEATURE !

              There's no option to turn it on in menus, i'm seriously pissed just for that. It was a killer feature for me : just hovering my hand over my phone screen off, to get a quick fade for 3sec displaying useful infos like missed calls/sms/time/battery left..

              Damn it! Maybe it has been forgotten, hopefully they will readd it in a next firmware upgrade but for now, i'm more pissed to see a stupid move for making a screenshot than my quick glance feature, more useful on a daily basis.

                        every single one of my phone has frozen at least once,
                        The cure a removable battery.
                        HTC have got it half right as before no memory slot no removale battery

                        Now they are selling the phone on "metal" like the iPhone it will scratch unless you have some sort of protection

                        I don't know what the cost of the S4 was but from reports the S5 cost less than the S4 at launch

                        re Apple iPhones every single iPhones cost more than its predecessor which can't go on

                        there is nothing new to add to smartphones or put in so another camera hike faster processor etc

                        if you think the IP6 is going to have something new you are mistaken

                          I saw this phone in a store and operated for 10 mins. I was very much disappointed by the speed of the phone. It seems like Samsung doesn't use a good quality of hardware. 2.5 ghz octa core was worst than even a normal 1.4 ghz dual core. Lolzzzzzz. I wont recommend anyone to buy this phone. This is too slow. Nexus 5 is better option and if you have more budget than you can go for iphone 5s.

                            Maybe frequent opening and closing when charging will wear the seal gasket for water resistant.

                            Better use a wireless charger.

                              Got the S5 yesterday, and I must say that I am impressed... The design is very nice, for my part, I have the charcoal black. Like all of you, I thought it didn't look great on pictures, but in hands, oh boy is it different!

                              The cell feels premium when you hold it in you hands. You can tell it is not cheap quality.

                              The phone is ultra fast, as I have never seen before. The screen display is simply the best of all time on a cell. My girlfriend was sitting next to me with her nexus 5, and I could tell the difference just by looking at her phone.

                              The new features work very well. The fingerprint scanner is very accurate, compared to all the reviews I have read. Maybe they did not set-up their fingerprints correctly. You have about 8 swipes to do to register your fingerprints, you should take all angles of your finger to make sure all parts are registered. For me, it works 99,9% of the time on the first try!

                              I haven't had enough time to test the camera, however, the 4K video shooting is ridiculously amazing. When I look at the videos I recorded, it just doesn't seem like a video anymore, and it feels like real because the details are so nice. I can't believe a phone can record such great videos!

                              As for the TouchWIZ UI, I simply love it. No more confusing UI, and if for some reason you can't find a setting, there is a search option that will search settings for a keyword you typed in.

                              Simply amazing, good job samsung!

                                Live colour Led tec in Z2 use red ,green ,blue backlit instead of white backlit
                                So colour reproduction is incredibly rich and super clear contrast!
                                All photo and, video and wallpaper are always beautiful
                                Ominibalance design is added and it is useful in handelling Z2
                                Z2 has the best display in all smartphines at the market!
