Samsung Galaxy S5 - user opinions and reviews

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!

I got the s5 and it is incredible. I dont know why everybody is arguing about the plastic body. Its the best feature of the phone, removable battery. It costs close to €100 to replace an iphone battery and it has to be sent away for a few days( which turns into a few weeks) and about €10 to replace a samsung battery(can do that yourself). And if your complaining about the "feel" of it, anybody who really cares about their phone is going to get a case for it so your actually going to be feeling the leather case and not the plastic back. This is hands down the best phone out there at the moment. Not too big, can still operate it with one hand

The design is a backstep from that of the S4. The processing power is impressive for a smartphone of this size. The screen is nice and clear, and the heart rate monitor is a nice addition for those that use s-health. The memory of 16gb internal should really be being pushed to 32gb from this point onwards. The UI and the way Samsung use Android has taken a step back. Many of the useful pinch to select different pages has been taken away, meaning it has the feel of every other smartphone, that in my opinion was what made Samsung different. It is a shame to lose that, and i hope in future that they will bring it back. I hope even more that the Note 4 will be using Samsungs older overlay, as again I am not a fan of the new version. Samsung have been my favorite brand for years now, but the s5 has lost a lot of my respect. The Note 3 is still by far my favorite phone on the market, and i truly hope that they regain the features that defined them in future.

why is everyone interested in just commentating on the camera ? They are both good, but the phone itself I would say the M8 gives you more value for your money as you can see the improvements . S5 is a flop, the Telcos in Malaysia were ready, but the whole thing tanked. My take is that within a few months Samsung will out another model or else it will sink . Look out for HTC to soar. Apple has nothing to worry about with the launch of S5, but if they do not come out with something like a minimum 4.7in screen, well they are going to lose out . They cannot continue to rely on their laurels which is what they have maximised at the moment.

[deleted post]You need to see this camera shootout between Galaxy S5 vs HTC One M8.
http://blogs.computerworld.com/smartphones/23772/galaxy-s5-vs-htc-one-m8-camera
You can decide which phone has the better camera after seeing this review. It seems to me the HTC M8 slightly better than the Galaxy S5.
Similarly, Samsung claims that the Galaxy S5 has the world fastest auto-focus speed. However, reviewer's comment as follows "but the One (M8) is significantly snappier at focusing and capturing images. The GS5 is by no means slow, but the One is practically instantaneous."

can anyone post your opinion about the WIFI and Download booster if it is the same as S4 or Note 3?stop arguing with the plastic body or metal body,every brand like samsung,HTC and apple comes with there own design and respect that,we should talk about the software,specification of the phone not there design.
