im just glad they kept with 1080p screen. It just makes no sense to keep upgrading the resolution every time with no changes to the performance. S4 have some performance problems and this seems to not lag at all, from 1.9ghz to 2.5 its a lot of speed. they should've increased ram to 3gb and it would be ok

            samsung budda, 25 Feb 2014I'm Disappointed. :( Pathetic Configuration. Not impressed at all... I'm using Note 3 and S4. ... moreI honestly think it's a minor boost and most costumers will be satisfied, the water resistant is very useful and if they fixed the heating issue which was my only complaint, i am the happiest man alive + It supports 3840 x 2160 (UHD) video recording, what more do you expect?

              Dunno what is happening to Samsung now..

              Samsung used to have nicer & better design in early years especially Samsung Wave & Wave 2.. but i waited from Galaxy S till S5, not much different (in design) i can see.. only keep on upgrading the internal hardware.. disappointed again..

              And the back cover of Note 3 is far away much better looking.. back cover of S5 looks ugly.. very ugly..

                            Again another samsung mistake from the design team and engineering dept. S series are getting uglier and uglier from time to time. S4 didnt make good sales that's why they release s5 earlier, but i think s4 will sell more than this lol. Nice marketing strategy sammy! Samsung is always overdoing there products more features that will not be used by consumers. Not to mention there adoration to aple yeah nice finger print scan sammy. Happy to that i shifted to sony.

                              Haha....worth the wait? Lenovo P780 is very much better by one third of the price..

                                This phone is truly a joke and anyone that thought Apple was down the girgler is wrong. Releasing yet again useless and unnecessary features and phone's that are just too damn big to use with one hand.

                                I just moved back to a iPhone 5S after having owned previously a iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, Dell Streak, SGS, Atrix, SGS3, HTC ONE... nothing changes with none of these phone's... back to the most polished and best in class. The iPhone 5S. This phone looks ridiculous and they are all too big. Anything over 4.3" is too big.

                                  I think this is big mistake. Ok, it is not if they put other name, not s5. This specification ar far away to justify name like galaxy s5. They should make smaller phone than s4 with bigger screen, not like this crap. It is something in the middle s4 and s5. I will definetly buy LG G2 or maybe wait for LG G3.

                                    oh my god! S4 is way better, though s5 got 16MP camera, but 13MP camera is already enough for a detailed photo.

                                      Is this some kind of a joke by Samsung? why would someone buy this ugly looking piece of crap when u have a relatively better looking and better performing note 3 n nexus 5 out there... Marketing the same phone with useless features like fingerprint n heart beat sensors... are you kidding me, Samsung?
                                      Sorry to say this, but this was a big mistake after releasing such a successful product (Note 3)... Disappointed!!!

                                        Funny the whole piece about the ultra power savings feature. Doesn't it have a removable battery anymore? Of course it does. So if you needed more power why not take a extra battery or external battery pack. They are readily available and not expensive.
