the s5 will have a slightly faster interface with a few different software features i fin dit hard to beleive most users will have the time to use all features i myself force myself to even use half of them

the note 3 vs s4 is just 2-3 secs in boot time i expect the same with the s5 vs the s4 the bench marks are going to be double or more because of the in out of the cpu and gpu but in realworld use i think its barly going to be somthing to cry about i see the real diff in screen size as we went from the s3 to the s4 is slight but noticable 720p to 1080p was big tho the real kickers here will be the touch finger print junk the dual video call thing the water proofing and that they are doing somthing with a flash and camera sensor app for heart rate junk , me pesonally i will get the biggest kicks out of the fingerprint thingy as apple will no longer have somthing samsung doesnt and the water proofing thing the camera junk doesnt interest me much but the super fast focus does and the ability to adjust focus after words does .. i own both apple and sammy and the non focusing thing while recording is apples big F up example i try to rec a video of a serial on a ps3 then stand back to show the unit working in action its impossible on apple because the focus will not change while recording or zoom while playback my biggest rant of apple right now

        Amazing specs on paper but which really matter is that how is this device performs cause if we go back to 2013 then we'll see that s4 had great specs on paper but s4 is very sluggish. Now i know why apple doesn't give the option of removable battery cause that is not needed but if Samsung doesn't do that then we'll not be able to do anything else without waiting if it hangs , just 2 days ago i was playing nfs on s4 and suddenly it stopped working and i didn't had any other option so i had to remove battery and i had used iPhone 4s,5 i didn't experienced any lag whatsoever

          I see a lot of parrots in here repeating the propaganda Apple initiated saying metal is good & premium, plastic is bad and cheap. Why exactly? I have yet to read a study that puts metal above all other build materials for practical purposes. There is no evidence that metal adds any additional durability over plastic. Both devices will break when dropped. Personally I would rather a manufacturer put more of their budgetary dollars behind what's under the hood in terms of hardware and software. I think Samsung succeeded in that area over the competition and that's why I'll buy the S5. I don't think the newest Samsung, HTC, or Sony are really innovative but I do believe the S5 gives the best bang for your buck in terms of the additional features over the competition.

              Whoever says that plastic is shit, i want u to watch a video on a guy driving his Tesla S model over the S5. The camera and flash glass broke BUT the LCD, front Glass and all buttons including the finger print sensor all never damaged and still worked. I watched the video over and over and still amazed. Yes all metal is good and dandy but if u damage a small part of the metal on the HTC one, you will need to replace the whole device not just that part. The S5 is more advance then a simple iPhone and many phones out there. The HTC One still has a 4MP camera, non removable battery, no waterproofing or dust proof, no kids mode, they lack of many things.


              I wonder how many clueless people post on here. I have read reviews on most devices on here and its obvious that many are clueless about plastic and how phones work.

                    loving the specs.
                    always android over apple, and the S5 leads droid.
                    cant wait to get my hands on this (after saving for it)

                    for all those people who complain about Samsung not changing their design, lets look at the biggest competitor

                    the design of the iPhone 4 and 4s is exactly the same.
                    chances are, the 5 would have been similar too, but apple needed to "slim" their product to match the S2 (yes, TWO) which launched 18 or so months beforehand.

                    then the design of the 5s is still quite similar to the 5, so i dont see why everyone complains about Samsung not changing their design.

                    in Samsungs defence, there isnt much they can do to the front, but the entire shape and such is their design, so its probably one of the things they want to remain consistent at this time.

                    rant over

                                  the outlook seems to be the same as the other samsung mobile models and also the market rate is very high.There is a discount for the HDFC CARD holders (informed by the dealer )This also disappoints the customers.Samsung brings so many models but the outlook is same and the manufacturer shows no intention to change the outlook which reduces the attraction and sales
