S5 Neo vs. P8 Well my wifeÂ’s got S5 neo while IÂ’ve got p8, I can tell you the P8 is much more better in every case. Though S5 neo seems to be faster, if it counts but, in every day use you wonÂ’t see any differences. I checked both in Antutu and Benchmark test, and P8 wins, though not too much (score: 50734 to 48673) S5 Noe RAM is 2 GB but remains only 530 MB, while P8 3GB remains 1.52GB because P8 EMUI interface is much more balanced and optimalized than S5 NeoÂ’s interface. As a result of this, the battery is enough for 1,5 day in normal mode, Comparing the two camera performance, it is absolutely clear that P8 is superior and better! P8Â’s got optical image stabilizer too, but S5 Noe not. Though the S5 focuses and shots faster ( the diff.is about 0.3 sec. so not too much) but the pictures of the P8 are more vibrant, clearer, and sharper with less noise than S5. With the help of OIS, P8 makes brilliant night shots. ItÂ’s one of the best in the market.

This one has an 1.9 aperture lens, just as the S6.

TsvetanHristev, 31 Oct 2015Hey guys, i'm a S II Plus user and i'm very tired from this phone, have been using it from mor... moreHi!
If you want to choose between the S5 Neo, and the P8, well, the S5 Neo is better in overall(CPU, camera, probably battery life, it is water resistant, and you can remove the battery).
The P8 is a winner, if we are talking about the design, and the placement of the speaker.
The G4 is a bigger device, and if you go for the leather version, you should know, that after 2,3 months, that leather will look like hell. The camera quality on the G4 is the best among these 3 smart phones. The battery life is indeed lower on the G4.
You can also try a Sony device, if you care about the battery life.

Hey guys, i'm a S II Plus user and i'm very tired from this phone, have been using it from more than 2 years and i really wish to for a better one.
I saw the S5 Neo before a 2 months and now im wondering which phone should i buy, i mostly like the S5 Neo more than my old one, cause it's a lot more faster, got more storage(well, it's 10,5 GB free, but it's better than 2-3 GB(don't remember now) from the S II plus), but i was wondering from now on to get a phone that will have Android 6.0.
I have read all the comments here, one guy said that the S5 Neo will only get Android 6.0 and nothing else than, so i'm now really confused about Android version's(i wish maybe for another update than the Android 6.0)
My other choice was Huawei P8, but the battery is lower than the S5 Neo by capacity,its not removable, but i have read it's good enough for normal use, mostly like listening music, playing video, calls or web browsing - mostly i will use my phone for music, browsing, games(i'm not that kind of a gamer) and calls ... and the speakers are on the right(when flipped) and when i play games or watch video - i will mute it somehow.
Other choice was LG G4, but i hear that this phone battery isn't even good, it's somehow too bigger(5'2 it's enough for me), that info is from the site trustedreviews ...

So, what's worth it to buy??

Hi! The S5 Neo is available in more colors, such as a silver, and gold one.
There is some difference between this, and the S5.
This one does not have a flip, to cover the USB port, which is great. This one has the old FM radio.
The S5 has a fingerprint sensor, which the S5 Neo one lacks.
The S5 Neo can not take 4K videos.

8 processors are working only when is necessary. For gaming, mobile tv or others.

This is because 8 processors are working only in gaming. When you are using fb only 4 or 3 processors are working. That is why sometimes has lagging when you are using fb.

Just got the S5 Neo. And I'm having an annoying problem with it (aside from the lagging). Whenever I press the wake up button (to wake it from sleep) it turns on, and turns right back off... It does this up to 3 times before I can get it to stay on. Also, I have the option to keep it unlocked in certain places that I tell it to (like home for example), but it still asks me to type my pin on there, even though I'm at home. Is anyone else having these problems? I only have 3 more days to return this phone, so I'd like to try to get this issue fixed before I make the decision to return it.

I finally took the plunge and bought the Galaxy S5 Neo, from using the Galaxy S2, which, in my opinion, is the best of the galaxies! This phone is lovely looking, however features look and feel primitive and slow. Very happy with it though and worth the £309.99 I paid. Didn't want to be locked into a 24mth contract! I just won't be able to eat until the end of the month if that! I only have a couple of issues. When I make a call screen goes black until I press the home key and voice notes on Whatsapp are practically inaudible - any suggestions please! And, what exactly is the difference between the S5 and S5 Neo?

The smartphone is fast and responsive, has a wonderful display, is lighting fast on internet. But, despite some missing sensor, the worse thing is the camera. Just forget the one of the S5, not only for the lack of ois, but, and it's the most terrible joke from Samsung, for the anachronistic AF speed. I've a two years and a half old S3 that is simply faster. So, the camera has no more Phase Detection AF, and has a very, very slow "traditional" (contrast detection) autofocus. It's a very pity, because sensor quality and F/1,9 are both on top. In few words: camera was one of the good of the old S5 (at its time probably the best on the market), and is one of the major weakness in this S5 neo. I've bought this phone two weeks ago and now I'm thinking of sell it away. S5 is sell at same price: I can survive to the usb with its rubber cover, to the unpleasing and malfunctionig fingerprint sensor, to the cpu overheating, BUT I can't survive to a camera with this poor performance.
