        You comment seems to be from a die hard samsung fan..lol
        You said Samsung has better display, Z2 has IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen which is far better Samsungs super amoled(which they claim to be the best and never proved,ever observed the blue tint in samsung display,the yellow usually seemed to be orange ;)),samsung boasts better viewing angles personaly i would never like to have a better angle view considering privacy,i would rather not prefer other person in a far angle read my personal message when on displayed.Now sadly Z2 has better veiwing angle.

        Battery you said S5 still better when Z2 has 3200mah compared to 2800mah of S5, well what can I say about you a Samsung fan its 400mah difference is quite huge.I naver say a battery saving scheme in Samsung,SONy comes with Stamina mode.

        Fans usually boost even they know that the product they are backing has so many drawbacks still they find a stupid ways to defend.. Have a reality check..Mr.Anonymous.

                  Don't change the topic to roaming data.

                  By the way as I mentioned earlier, free WiFi are everywhere so no need to use data roaming.

                      Samsung has very slight advantage of SoC speed.
                      S5 is usb3 and mhl2
                      Z2 is usb2 and mhl3
                      Z2 is 3200mah S5 is 2800mah
                      Both are bad designs one with aged and horrible than previous version(S4) another with an old looking huge bezel.And LG G PRO2 is far better looking but with slightly older SoC.
                      I am confused.Really confused.

                          AnonD-239689, 10 Mar 2014Yes I can move on, but the fact that data bandwidth is still limited (at least in our country)... moreHere in UK bandwidth were I am is poor and lots of UK has no signal that's why I hate cloud..Until whole of UK is covered with fast internet connection all my data is on phone hence I use 64gig card.. Don't listen to radio so does not affect me but for those who need it like you it is a let down.

                          Either have to use a separate radio or go to another phone or use one of the older Galaxys,,I still use S2 because it has Music player instead of Sound Alive player which is why ive tried but not kept S3 and S4..Looks like S5 will be Sound Alive as well because numerous emails to Samsung say the Music player on Wave,,Galaxy s and Galaxy S2 was sacrificed for the new Sound Alive player..The S2 had the lot plus Super Amoled Plus screen..

                              Will you enjoy listening to Chinese songs broadcast on the built-in radio when you are a foreigner traveling to China?

                                    J, 11 Mar 2014Z2 will do, it's a smartphoneGood for you!

                                    But for me, I don't need built-in radio, I prefer the internet radio app because I can tune in to my country's FM radio and be updated with my country's news even if I am in foreign lands.

                                    Built in radio cannot update me of my country's news when I travel in foreign country.
