    I would rather have the FM radio than the finger print scanner...
    I don't think the finger print scanner is practical at all...

      it's funny as S5 is not up to the expectation it's same as S4 LTE+ so what is samsung up to i think they will be releasing one more S5 model after three months in which we thought they will with he current S5 but unfortunally it didn't happened...galaxy S fans please dont be sad we will be seeing some change in the coming months from samsung...matel body 5.3 inch 2k display with 64 bit processor 4GB ram 32GB inbuilt memory 20MP camera with IOS and much more...now the question why they didn't release it with the current S5 i will tell you why bec as we can see no mobile phone has announced anything big at the moment so it's a business mind from mobile world and so samsung so finger's crossed for the cominig months...my advice for the people who are using curently S4 please don't upgrade to S5 just wait...Thanks

        But please check U'r comment. This all is about network architecture (including security). Nothing to do with processor speed, RAM speed and capacity, even OS being used.
        3GPP is protocol (regulation) that's all product released after it SHALL follow and support, means all phones on upcoming release suppose to adopt to it.

        But Buzz, on U'r prev comment; did U imply that during MWC U compare the LTE/WiFi speed on both devices; and found that SGS5 the winner? And U said that SGS5 more powerful? Thanks' for the FR :P

          3GPP Release 12 has a Functional freeze date (including stable protocols) by September 2014. It encompasses nearly 200 new top-level ‘Features’, resulting in a wide variety of new functionality and improvements to existing features, reflected in thousands of new or updated specifications. Release 12 also includes 60 new studies (Published in Technical Reports - TRs).

          A significant proportion of 3GPP’s recent work has been focused on channel aggregation, to meet the growing demands of data transmission. Other priorities in the radio aspects area include topics related to higher data rates and increased capacity, either by the use of more frequency bands, or by further improvements in spectral efficiency. 3GPP will address energy saving, cost efficiency (including the use of Self-Optimising Networks (SON)), support for diverse application and traffic types, and backhaul enhancements.

          In the systems area, 3GPP will look at promoting new business opportunities, in public safety and critical communications, proximity services and machine-type communications. In the area of WiFi integration, 3GPP will work on network selection aspects, S2a mobility with the GPRS Tunnelling Protocol (GTP) for WLANs, and optimised offloading to WLAN in 3GPP Radio Access Technology (RAT) mobility. In the area of system capacity and stability, issues of user-plane congestion and core network overload will be addressed.

Using some kind of benchmark or jst from the trial usage? Surely SGS5 won't be the world fastest phone when reached market; as it's using last year's (chipset) tech. Soon U'll convert to another :)

            What do you know about GSM spec? 3GPP, SIMAlliance, else? I believe U know nothing about it. GSM spec has nothing to do with phone power. I can't be wrong, I works on this field, sorry to say.

                It reminds me of the original Galaxy S. Samsung isn't really moving forward with this model. Disappointing. I can't believe this is Samsung's flagship for 2014.

                      Friends, I attended the MWC in Barcelona. I am a Iphone5s owner but after the show I have been completely converted by the SAMSUNG GALAXY S5. As a power user the S5 blows always the 5s. I am also so sick of all the proprietary bullsh-t from Apple. After hands own with the S5 it is a total dream to use and hold. Forget all the darn BS comment on no metal body etc. It just totally out powers the Iphone5s. I also believe most of the people commenting here no nothing about engineering and GSM specifications other than sitting on their couch eating Twinkies. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is truely the best poweruser phone made to date! HANDSDOWN

                        Terrible lousy phone
                        I rather get the HTC M8
                        This phone no hide its useless mono speaker at the back unlike HTC M8 which features dual frontal stereo speakers. Still using cheap bandaid plastics while HTC already went full metal unibody.
                        Moreover, this phone has thick bezels and not to mention tons of bloatwares which takes up more than 50% of its 16GB internal storage. What the heck is that Kids Mode bloatware on this silly phone?

                        5.1" with only lousy 2800 mAH, which year are we living at now? good luck with your Screen On Time.

                        Overall, I will give this phone 2/10.
                        Once Samsung will never return again.

                        I will aim the HTC M8 which is much superior and much more innovative.

                                    Apple: Dear Samsung, please consider fabricating for us a quad core chip so that we may be in tune for year 2008, as of now we are still in year 2005.
                                    Apple: Dear LG, please consider selling us 720 pixel lcd, because as of now even India has 720 pixel as minimum, and yet we are stuck up with 640 pixel era of year 2000.
                                    Apple: Dear Toshiba, when will you be able to sell us random access memory chips at least 1.5gb. As of now we are stuck with Samsung 1gb ram and supplies are running low because Samsung is supplying these chips to phone companies in India.
                                    Apple: Dear Android, will you be able to let us borrow more of your designs. Please Android, we are already being left behind by about two decades.
                                    Apple: Dear Rio Tinto, we are appealing to your good self to sell us aluminum to build our cases, because as of now, we are stuck with recycled die cast metal painted with aluminum paint to build them.
                                    Apple: Dear apple troll, ante the media hype, keep up the good work.

                                      So what's the big deal? If you don't like it, then don't buy it. After all those Samsung haters are the people who can't buy any phone for that matter HA HA HA HA.
