I think they're trying to pack too much stuff into these "smartphones" a fingerprint scanner is good, but a retina scanner and that, it's not necessary, that's the reason why people are becoming more dunce everyday. Their phones do all the remembering for them and they do nothing.
The average person does not have use for such advanced features in a mobile device, also i'm pretty sure that about 2/3 of the people that buy phones with all these features do it just for show, they have no idea how to use em. lol. It's so sad. lol

Anonymous, 15 Mar 2014yeah great advice considering apples amazing 5 year track record of completely innovative phon... moreInnovative? O_o dude line up all the iphones ever made and point out any significant difference between them.
They all look the same the iphone 4 is a more squared 3Gs with a dual core processor and a bit more ram and a front facing camera , the 4S is a 4 with a retina display & nothing else. The 5 is a longer skinnier version of the 4&4S with a slightly better camera and a little faster processor. The 5c is a 5 with color, the 5S is a 5 with a fingerprint scanner and finally the iPad as anyone can tell is nothing but a HUGE iphone. -___- .....where's the innovation? It's dead, apple is tired, even their Mac-books don't cut it anymore.

Blizzard Stone, 15 Mar 2014Guys can u explain what is the difference between a dual core 1.2 ghz and quad core 1.2 ghz????Quadcore means that it had more cores, which is obvious. But it means that, for example, if you have a quad core 1.5 GHz phone, it's total GHX will be 6 GHz, which is good for heavy performance. It all comes down to what you are doing.

Hope I could help

Blizzard Stone, 15 Mar 2014Guys can u explain what is the difference between a dual core 1.2 ghz and quad core 1.2 ghz????A basicly you are talking 1.2ghz per core. If you have a quad cord vs a dual core what is going to give u faster speeds 2 or 4 cores the more u have the faster it is. Some times one core will do a different task or a small task so that the other cores can focus on more important tasks

quad core is like four people working inside it
In a nutshell anyway

killhell, 15 Mar 2014Dual core have 2 cores. Quad core have 4 cores.
A little more info on dual vs. quad core. Quad core has twice as many cores (CPU's) as Dual Core (4 vs. 2), butin reality, a Quad Core won't be much faster than a Dual Core unless you are running applications that are designed to take advantage of the extra cores. Otherwise the extra two cores (or three for single core applications) just sit idle. The S5 is a great smartphone, but if you own an S4, wait to see the later version of the S5 coming later this year. It is rumored to have 8 cores (again, wasted unless the app is designed for it) and a host of other features. Upgrading only for two more cores isn't probably worth it.

Please people, get you facts straight.
Apple did not come up with the finger print for phones, Motorola was the first one to use it on the Atrix back in 2011. Just like Apple and its users try to claim the chicklet style keys on laptops when Sony had it a decade prior to any macbooks.

Don't be disappointed it is not the radio that matters now in flagship phones.
Apple fan boys are happy with their iPhones.

Tcool, 15 Mar 2014If you're asking about from which country I'm from, I tell you that the mobile Internet there ... moreRadio Fm where I am working works pretty well, but of course not always. It is little bit disappointing that every Samsung flagship lacks it. To add it you do not loose anything.
