unkonw, 22 Mar 2014samsung need to recruit the whole new design team. they make the phone look cheaper compare th... moreSamsung phones are just high quality devices. Many gullible people think that putting a metal back plate on a phone is synonymous with cutting edge technology even if the phone lacks serviceability and only has a useful life span of no more than a few years. Samsung realizes that plastic is a much more suitable material for phones and does a great job of using it. Its phones are also more serviceable than almost any phone, and the technology is cutting edge. Samsung does not default to gimmicks to lure technologically illiterate people to purchase its phones. Were Samsung to abandon this practice and embrace the marketing tones of inferior phone manufacturers with cult followings surely they would lose a large number of customers. This happened to HTC when it started trumpeting its metal back covers as a way of drawing more customers; needless to say, HTC fell flat on its face. Sasmsung phone users are smart people who want true technological advancement, not hype about "retina displays" pitched to behind the curve users.

        AnonD-235556, 21 Mar 2014His arguments are very weak, you just have to read this forum from beginning to end to see if ... moreFor about $5 you can get an FM radio.

        Your going to gripe it's not a feature on a new phone? I've NEVER used it, and do not know a single person who ever has on their phone.

              So you should buy a 1100,then carry all that optional stuff with yourself :))

                stupid opinion about the radio,if you want radio so buy radio cassette player not phone,and about the 3GB Ram its for Note only not for S series,Note needs 3GB ram because of its usage in multitasking etc its a phablet.

                  AnonD-129693, 22 Mar 2014Exactly it's 2014,and all the flagship phones must have 3 GB of ram ....The RAM is the only major flaw in this awesome phone......and there is a reason for it, samsung did not want note 3 to be at a disadvantage just because the s5 has slightly better specs (except the RAM) than note 3......therefore samsung deliberately did this so that the note 3 does not get overshadowed by s5......whatever it is, we are not very happy with this and this has only put s5 at a disadvantage against rivals like xperia z2

                    AnonD-129693, 22 Mar 2014Progress means more not less next year maybe Samsung will make the s6 without camera:)))I don't care about the camera, I don't care about radio, I don't care about NFC, I don't care about heart rate monitor, I don't care about IR remote control, I don't care about air gesture, and other features which are not always useful to me.

                    I don't want to confine myself and depend all stuffs to the phone, cause once the phone get lost or damage, everything is gone. There are other better alternatives.

                    Progress is not confining yourself to one thing for all your needs.

                              Of course people will just choose what features they like in a phone and buy that phone. If the feature you want is not included in the phone, then buy another brand and don't complain!

                                      Radio streaming is not a problem with 4G LTE, even 3G can provide continuous radio streaming.

                                      Or better buy a basic phone with FM radio because you don't need 4G nor 3G.
