    We are at the verge of smartphone maker should stop making hefty profit from each unit sold.

    We are now seeing midrange phone perform only slightly slower or less smoother than high-end one. Lenovo phones for example.

    My S4 started to judders and run heavy as the bits from FB and Whatsapp (especially group) flooding the phone. After few months, every touch will lags. Every image captured tooks years before the camera reload.

    As phone usage grows, people need to separate their numbers, at least between business and personal. For that, i also bought Galaxy Grand last year. However, things start to falling apart for the Grand as the phone getting slower and worst after several software update. Running 2 sims, data always on bluetooth when driving and wifi at home, sometimes keep Waze GPS on when traveling, the battery merely last 3-4 hours. Powerbank become my good friend. Even worst, the 2 sims also missed calls by their own. Its not broken, but its SLOW. How can i claim that with the service center?

    Upset, i bought a cheap Lenovo S920 when it launch mid last year, temporary i thought, before this S5 launch this year. Running cheap MTK quadcore processor, I didnt expect much. To my surprise, the phone runs 2 sims seamlessly, never missed a call, and after few months, with 13thousands picture in my Whatsapp image folder, numerous apps and whatnot, the phone never fails, never judders, no lag, snap, snap. The battery last just nice before i went to sleep every night. Yes the screen ppi might not be as dense, the so call 'smart' features such as smart scroll etc might not be as much (who used those anyway), but it serve me better than the few high end phones i bought in the last few months.

    Im not promoting Lenovo, but some people found their places with the cheaper SE, Alcatel, Huawei, Micromax, and a few other, cheap but more than good phones. For me, my times with Samsung has ended, just as what happened when i passed Nokia last time. They have to pull the prices down or they will end.

      It is very relaxing to unwind without the messy headset wires.

          And some other important thing, the battery should use at least 3100 mAh or more, along with dual sim system...

              i think samsung should stop using 16gb and 32gb storage capacity, they are lame, and mostly insufficient, why not 64gb at minimum? and also, PLASTIC? AGAIN?

                  I have been using different types of headsets from the messy wired to bluetooth. Dr. Dre wireless headset gives more bass than you messy wired headset.

                      These are not the official specs yet. I highly doubt their new flagship will come with less RAM than the Note 3. And so what of its plastic? It has the leather imitation like the N3 so it won't feel so cheap. Plus I wonder what Apple will say about the fingerprint sensor.

                              the biggest disappointment by Samsung. it is not the phone to buy, you should either buy Note 3 like me or HTC one .

                                    No any SURPRISES as always.
                                    I was expecting 64 bit OS as additional on S5. But same just added few features on hardware and software. Nokia is coming on the market to compete..

                                      The biggest company of 2012 up to now are Apple and Samsung. But why Apple can't beat Samsung in terms of selling product and what happen to other mobile phone company? HTC, Xperia, Sony, Lg, and etc.

                                      So it is clear why Samsung is the best SMARTPHONE for only to smart people..ok and do not down or compare this company because you don't know the truth. Just try read and explore your mind.
