Been reading the reviews why this phone received such bad voting results.. For some reason I couldn't find any specific reasons why it was bad, just people saying it looks the same as S4 lol am I the only one sensing some apple fanboys here?

        Other than design, the s5 is the best all round phone on the market....do your rearearch. Best processor, amazing screen, amazing battery life, not a fingerprint magnet, 16mp cam which is a nice upgrade from the s4.....so why are people complaining? Because it looks similar to the s4? Lol its the galaxy series what the hell did you want it to look like lol. People just complain with no valid reason. I will buy this device.

I would've taken the extra GIG of RAM anyday

                again Samsung hardware is still superior to others. Last year they beat HTC One with better 600 Soc, this year they up one notch above Sony Z2 with a MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801.

                    What an ugly looking device. Samsung is really pushing it. Also I am not sure why Samsung is adding features, instead of focusing on stabilizing the current features. BAD UGLY DEVICE. By the way I own a note 3 and it does feel cheap when I compare ot to Sony, HTC, LG devices.

                          babao, 27 Feb 2014Am very disapointed that sam can make a poor phone like this, i was expecting much from the s5What's so poor about it? It's a modern flagship, after all, not some 700-Euro-with-small-battery-and-NSA-backdoor featurephone. It's a greater upgrade over the S4 than the Z2 over the Z1, and it's waterproof as well. Why is it that people think it is so bad, when companies like Sony make smaller upgrades, with poor cameras to boot.

                              Yes i agree. the fingerprint sensor was a bad bad move becouse everyone will think they ripped of apple in wich they didnt really do.. long story but it has been a thing on android since a whiiile back.
                              The 801 snapdragon is a typical move. they come out with the best performing cpu on the market so everyone that makes the 800 snapdragon cpus become jealous and try beating it and there. samsung just pushed technology forward instead of going with the flow of the 800cpu

                                  Lol I now realize most of the people who are posting bad comments about the galaxy s5 are not even users of samsung products, guess what why do you guys shut the hell up,because nothing you say can change most samsung user to switch to any other O.E.M, samsung smartphone's expecially the galaxy s and note line remain the most feature pack handsets you can get.
