Samsung Galaxy S5 - user opinions and reviews

I had galaxy s2 then s4. Verdict: s2 was alright but 4 was a total disappointment. First samsung phones are now heavily duplicated that you can't be sure what you have is the real thing . They also make different versions of phones processors , no standard device. You buy and just later realized there is a better one out there. S4 kept on dropping network. Was only on edge not 3G most time .Wifi was within less than 5 meters, Bluetooth was the worst I have seen on any mobile phone, when I pair with my speaker it was working only within one meter. Battery was good the first week but after it started draining like crazy . The phone updates some get some don't get. The phone just did not even feel safe to use.
I took the phone back and got the iphone 5s. Iphone has been the best phone I have ever used. My first iphone was the first generation. I must say this is a great phone. When you buy you are sure what you have is the real phone you are sure the processor inside is what everyone else is having. It is standard handset. The built quality is worth the money unlike Samsung which feel cheap and plastic. The software or operating system is solid and organised . Android felt scattered and just not quality.
I thought the screen of the iphone was small but it's probably the best size of a phone to have . I don't know where Samsung is trying to go with their screen. It's already too big to call it a phone.
That's my honest take samsung.
I wanna try htc later . That's if the next iphone turn out to be disappointing . For now am very happy with iphone 5s and I look forward to the next iphone. Bye bye samsung for now

Stop whining and be more careful to read the specs at the back of the box before buying. Only exynos variant has the powerful Power VR GPU multicore (prefered by Apple)and WOLFSON DAC!
I love samsung for it, something unique than the cluttering Qualcomm chipsets everywhere!

Consult dictionary or an elder for explanation! S5 is not diagnostic, I am a doctor and I know it, just to monitor Heart rate (stress level) for active people. Just acknowledging samsung's effort to bring something practical in!

Hopefully Samsung's attempt in implementing HR monitor will herald a new wave of modernizing medical diagnostics. Probably replacing 24 hr Holter application frequency. HR monitoring in BP monitors is considered as auxiliary feature by many users, though strongly associated with deciphering BP reading correctly.
WAY TO GO Samsung!Now runners, active users can monitor heart stress level while exercising and take intervals accordingly.

Tcool, 27 Mar 2014And what is good about iPad? It's easier said, but can you give details?I said as a tablet,and for tablets biggest problem is stretched apps, but ipad doesn't have that problem.Widgets & other things are mostly good for smartphones because of their small screen,but on bigger screen gadgets they are not so usefull like PCs or... . And for the restrictions like downloading music, I use a PC or... .So With having an ipad+Powerful PC+android or winphone smartphone, I have the most complete package.
