Note series with confused chipsets are like fakes
So note3 and s5 with varied chipsets are not flagship phones!
Even Huawei use one chipset to one smartphone in globally distribution
New Xperia T2 ultra is slimmer than s5
Moreover, it has bigger screen and affordable prices
IPS display in T2 is superb and full of natural colour
And battery life is over 2 days for gamers and heavy users!
Advanced radio with RDS us added for the wide ranges of entertainment
So T2 is better than s5

Galaxy, 10 Apr 2014Legacy developers supports legacy ecosystem. Cant teach old dogs new tricks.Same was said when android 1st launched and even when Microsoft changed from command user interface to graphical user interface. Now its time for NATURAL USER INTERFACE (NUI).
in software industry you have to upgrade your knowledge from time to time. And all the old dogs know that.
Microsoft has exceled in the development of a natural user interface. Cortana is the world's best speech recognition software. It is connected directly to the internet for voice database. it has a huge library of speech api's. The development using visual studio is also much easier than that for android.

Tcool, 11 Apr 2014Wahaha! 27th of July 2012, wherein Motorola Atrix 4G has it in January 2011. Now who is the ... moreWell still Samsung. 1) Touch ID was under development for almost 2 years 2) The Atrix had a swipe motion recognition just like the Samsung Galaxy S 5 3) it was on the back of the device on the top center almost on the same positioning as the HTC MAX of the last year
It is obvious that Samsung blatantly copied Apple with this move no one can deny it. All you can come up with is half arguments that fingerprint recorgnition came way before that and it is true but that doesnt change who copied whom. But I don't feel like bashing Samsung as a brand. Everyone had its ups and downs. I love the Note lineup I hope they focus hardly on that in the future and don't put there the gimmicks of the G5. I myself own a Note 2 but it's rooted because touchwiz slowed things down with the time or maybe it was the fault of the processor. I have tried the new Note and it really is the obvious superior phablet to go for. the Galaxy S3 was the best smartphone in Samsung's history and I wish they would build their legacy on that. But they consumerized it to much with the S4 and now S5 .

Tcool, 11 Apr 2014It is a tablet not a phone. Don't mix. It doesn't have a calling function. Except that they did all Pocket PCs back in the day had calling facility. They tried throwing everything they could on those devices. They could even dual boot.

Tcool, 10 Apr 2014No evidence means not true.
Can you prove your claim?
Easy to say but hard to justify.HTC Shift under the the features section there is stated that it has a fingerprint scanner. This goes back in the day when Microsoft was trying too hard to set a foothold on the "mobile smartphone/tablet market ". This was called like many others back in the day a "Pocket PC" but basically it is almost the size of the Nexus 7 with a mobile 32 bit version of Vista.
As for the Touch ID this is an article on 27th of July by "The Telegraph" in 27 July 2012. You can read on the article the date and or days Apple buys AuthenTec biometrics company.

PS : The first link sends you to gsmarena the second is to the Telegraph both are legit news sites so don't worry.

As a software developer i will go for a platform with better api's and support for consumers so it is a no go for me . I'll save my money for now and wait for nokia to release windows phone 8.1 device. Because it has cortana. And future of computing is natural user interface.
