A better Alternative.

Hi there after watching the unpacking event, and reading the full specs I dont really see much of an upgrade.
Yes they have added some good additions like the fingerprint scanner which is awesome, but alot of the other additions wont be used on a massive scale by all users.
Hardware wise, wasnt too inpressed on these either really, would of liked to see an octa-core version, plus the battery isnt too much of an upgrade.
But Ive found a clone version which in my eyes is better, comes with octa-core, looks exactly the same
http://www.goophone.cc/phones/goophone-s5.html
Again this is only my opinion, and of course others will feel different which is there right to do so.
I may even change my mind once ive got my hands on one and have a play, but as for right now, im quite disappointed with the S5.
And I am a Galaxy User myself currently having the Galaxy S3 and soon will have the Note 3 also.
Thanks for reading.

I'm sure this cheap knockoff will be worth every penny.

I wouldnt give you $100 for that phone ROFL. No 4G data (3G only), knockoff CPU, bigger battery 2800mah then the S4 2600mah with less talk time then the S4.

would be great but no lte? i'd like to try before I bought one haha.

It's so hard to find a flagship phone that looks good, has a replaceable battery and microsd slot.

Hmmm... No LTE is a deal breaker. 3G is barely good enough to stream YouTube vids, and sometimes it won't even stream at all on 3G.

No, it's not at all. The Note 3 is AMAZING! You should check it out.

The Note 3 in a 5 inch form factor would be perfect (spec, looks and feel). Why couldn't they make a Note 3 Mini?
I already own the Note 2 and it's a big too big now and it weight a lot. I currently have the HTC one and while the metal body is great, it feels like you're holding a brick.

Yes I do understand that it doesnt have all the features of the original and of course the price represents that. But I just wasnt really impressed with the S5 so far. As I said my opinion may change once ive had an hands on experience with the device. Its thoughts at the moment.

Don't you think users will use the improved camera (a major update - not just in megapixels) and the water proofing? The improved screen with higher and lower brightness? Yes the puls-rate monitor is a bit gimmicky but unlike ALL the "air" features of S4 these functions will improve every users daily use with the phone.
Kudos for Samsung for not focusing on the one-time-wow-factor and instead improving the users daily rutine.

Yes of course i did like that they did add what users wanted. And of course everyone is going to have there own opinion of the device,

Well, cell phones have reached that plateau where you can't really add anything anymore. Add too much, people cry about bloat and gimmick. Add too little, and you get this... The heck are you guys doing that you need an octocore?

Speaking of everyday average users..90% won't even notice the camera is improved over the s4, so that argument doesn't work IMO.
I won't even comment on the "higher and lower brightness" because that is just lolol. Sounds like iPhone users trying to sell things android has had for years.
I'm sorry, but people are grasping when defending this phone. What I can't figure is how websites like android central praise samsung for making Touchwiz closer to vanilla android and less gaudy....but How?? They put a freaking camera shortcut on the lock screen and gave us a white battery icon, otherwise the rom grew by about a GB over the s4 and is more bloated than ever. They are following the apple footprint by locking the phone down and offering extremely minor upgrades, but I don't blame them because they still make millions by working less because people still buy this stuff like it's the best thing ever.
Note 3. That's innovation. This phone does everything. Maybe the Note 4 will arrive with features worthy of an upgrade. The normal people can have the s5 because commercials told them it was cool.

Plus not to mention that the galaxy s5 rom will take 8gb of internal space. Bloatware much. So in essence buy the 16gb version to save money. Only have 8 gb of free storage space.

Are you really suggesting that users won't notice they take less crappy photos? That their phone is better in direct sunlight?
How exactly is Note 3 innovation? What new features did it bring that it's predecessor did not have besides the usual performance bump?

what intrigues me is the fact the s5 uses wifi and data at the same time when using the web be great to see how that works and if it really makes a difference should imagine its pretty fast?

Actually you get 10,6 GB of free storage. The "2 GB" was MWC stuff on it.
Oh and I think the 128GB microSD card support does kind of help, no?

ahh yes that is true
but a friend of mine told me
"if you keep waiting for something better, you will end up waiting forever"

at the end of the day people will keep praising samsung and choose to buy it after finding out that the new HTC One will have only 2600mah battery and non removable and oppo find 7's 2k screen is washed out and you can't tell difference with 1080p screen anyway. not to mention lg g3 will have a very powerful processor like the snapdragon 805 but still laggy. i predict in the end samsung still wins although i hope i'm wrong. cheers

You all said S3 was ugly too...

And after 1.5 years it has sold over 100 million units and is the best selling smartphone of all times!!!

I personally did feel that the S3 was ugly considering it to be the successor to the awesome looking S2.
But S3 was having the best specs among all Androids the year it was launched which made it sell well. Also, the design wasn't that bad as it thought it would be.
No doubt S5 will sell well too. It's just that people expected a completely different design and are now disappointed.

As said, too much hype, and Samsung did a very good job of keeping all the details secret to the very last day. The S5 we got has very much expected specifications and is made of the best hardware available today, everyone dreamed of new unseen hardware and well it didn't happen ...

Htc One X had similar specs I think.

I bought the s3, and I loved it but Samsung has changed and is no longer a desirable product. Knox security, restricted and locked bootloaders and updates that are slower than molasses. I just don't see the appeal of Samsung anymore

None of the other vendors are exactly better at updates, the Nexus-line is sole in that respect. And some Samsung software are actually much better than the pure Google experience ie the cam/camcorder.
Samsung, as being popular, has very good AOSP dev support and a very large modding community which makes Samsung a safe bet for those who likes messing around with the software on the device

Exactly. People complain about nothing changed in the hardware department but they forgot that KitKat changed a lot in the software department plus the fact that Samsung learned how to write good software and delivered lag-free experience with lots of great features. And all of this with only 5.28GB space taken by the system (as opposed to 7.21GB in my S4).
So People should stop complain, this is a great phone (although I won't buy it cause my S4 still works great), and people are just whining while the competition isn't any better (same design and specs, but with much less features and without removable battery and microSD card slot).

it s way of Samsung!
S2 & Note were nice
S3 & Note2 were ugly
S4 & Note3 are nice
S5 & ... are ugly!
BUT IT s JUST my PERSONAL opinion cause i don't like round design!

I like a rounded design because its very comfortable to hold, and it fits comfortably in the pocket, what I call userfriendly design which always wins in my book

To be realistic s5 is a good device with Samsung plugging every loop hole that's present with the previous version, you get
1. Updated touchwiz
2. Water proof
3. Brightest led screen ever made
4. Isocell camera module
5. Updated processor as per Industry standard
6. Somewhat bigger battery
7. All the goodies present with previous galaxy devices.
8. 128gb sd card support
The design is as same as s4,the bigger bezels are the compromise Samsung made for making it water proof. We all know Samsung is not going to have a super duper design.
The phone will not satisfy or justify s4 and note 3 users, apart from them it should satisfy other users to be realistic, at the end of the day it's upto the personal preferences

Htc update there phones faster than samsung now . They coming back but without a sd slot and a better camera it's gonna be tough to catch up they design gorgeous phones but the looks don't do anything special unlike having expandable memory and a nice camera. I don't like samsung tw or there design but they give me the best package money can buy I need alot of memory and phones without a sd slot is a no go. 64 gigs is nothing now my card is filled up . 128 gig internal memory then I would venture elsewhere.

The S4 card capacity isn't an advantage at all because all Galaxies starting from the S3 and Note 2 used XC standards instead which will support capacities of up to 2TB providing that it was formatted to the correct format aka FAT32.

Thread closed as the topic is not related to the S5.

New device.

Hey guys,
I'm going to buy a new device but now I need your thoughts on something. I'm going to buy a Galaxy S3 brand new or S3 LTE (4g) secondhanded. The major difference is that the LTE version has twice as much RAM as the original S3. Will I experience this with normal usage of phone, so no heavy games etc. Give me your thoughts guys.
Ps: Of course I will keep this device, everything for me started with this phone and now I want to see how far we can go with this phone.

To stay away from a lot of problems caused by low RAM, the standard of RAM amount in Android devices (look medium range) today is 1 GB. More RAM means more multitasking performance and no memory problems for heavy apps, going through Android system slowdown while RAM is almost full. With 1 GB you should be ok, but not away from possible risks, especially if you use "always open" apps like Facebook/Messenger, Whatsapp, Email, Exchange Services... With 2 GB you are totally out of RAM problems, also because in 2+ GB devices the Android's lowmemorykiller (it's mainly because of this when you have slowdowns in low RAM devices, Android tries to close apps to free memory but when it reach the point where cannot close other apps? Slowdown!) is almost not used anymore, it's present, but you will never reach the point where Android uses it. About LTE, if in your town there is it, you can take advantage of faster network speed.
My suggestion is to buy LTE version.
Now depends from you, if you want a brand-new device that in 6~8 months, especially after Android L came out, will do the end of Janice (look at slowdowns caused by low RAM amount) or buy used LTE version that has the double of RAM.
The future is always behind the door, technology has big news everyday, you buy a device today and tomorrow it's old. More time passes, more future apps will require and occupy more RAM, leaving away new Android versions from this speech

O man galaxy s 3
Another samsung crap most of s3 users are regreating go to gsm arena and see
If u have budget then only go for nexus 5 or 4
If u want midrange then go for moto g u will never regret after buying phone like this
galaxy s advance ****sung i have bought this crap in 22k when it released i am regreating everyday
No quality of hardware ( scratches everywhere within 2 years)
No quality of software ( we have alredy faced that)..
And s3 is big brother of this s advance so........ Think

Why you want a plastic feel? I don't like anymore samsung phones.It has plastic and doesn't have that premium design.So,my suggestion: buy Nexus or Xperia (i want to get xperia ZR because it have removable battery).You will get a premium design

Maybe with his budget can buy only S3 device.
All Samsung devices suck while original, just change ROM to see it become to fly fast like a rocket.
Nexus 4 is a good phone too but battery sucks

I think buying a samsung phone second-handed would fit the budget well and give you the benefit of a great battery performance. Just 'upgrade' to any custom rom asap.
The plastic and old fashion looks also have an advantage, if you drop your phone here and there quite a lot. Replacing a screen on a slimmer new gen unibody phone would cost you a fortune!

I own a Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300, so 1 GB of ram) and runs so fast with a custom rom like cyanogenmod. About LTE version, I didn't test it.

Maybe Blu
What about a BLU brand, maybe a BLU Studio 5.0 C HD? I have not tried a BLU product but am impressed with the specs and the cost.

Galaxy S6 Or Moto X Pure?

I'm looking to purchase either a new moto x or galaxy s6, but I'm torn between the two. I love the look of stock android, quick updates, and moto display, but I also love the fingerprint scanner, size, and led notification on the s6. I can get the pure 16gb or s6 32gb at a price of $430 so the price difference isn't a problem for me. I'm leaning more towards the s6 but i'm not 100% ready to pull the trigger. What do you guys think?

Considerations for the S6...as far as updates go, as usual, updates coming from Samsung and AT&T are very much delayed. Since the phone is approaching the one year mark, updates will be even fewer less frequently and when the S7 comes out, then the focus for updates will for the S7. Also, it is highly unlikely that root will be found for the S6 moving forward, as development has all but been abandoned for this variant of the S6. They have also made it impossible to downgrade to a rootable version. So the likihood of being able to flash vanilla android or CM is non existent. You could look into getting the international variants though. As far as the hardware, all features of this phone are amazing and IMO, the best that your are going to get for Android at this moment. So you will have to decide what's more important to you.

I'm on 6.0.1 right now on my moto x pure. I can't stand having to wait on a carrier to release the current version of my phone's OS (after they butcher it with all the bloat). I had the S6 prior to this and switched for the display size, pure Android, amount of dev support, SD card, and quick updates.

I went for the s6 and am happy with the decision. Having come from a moto x 2013 I was concerned that I would miss the very stock Android feel. So far I'm very happy with the s6. I didn't like how big the x pure is note the thickness. I didn't feel high end.

Hmm you're lucky then. I still have both of these devices and the difference when switching between apps left in the memory is night and day.
Update: I switched back to my S6 to compare and I'm averaging almost 2 hours less on screen time compared to my Moto X Pure. Granted, I'm on Marshmallow on the moto.

How long S5 hardware will last?

Hi guys, im happy me with this device. I dont wanna switch to S7 yet and my question is will the hardware speca gonna run everything well till S8 comes?
Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk

I kept my S3 mini until the S6 went out, and it was very smooth with custom roms.
The main thing that improves year after year is the camera quality, the ROM, and the nice to have hardware options (fingerprint, waterproof, shockproof gets better...). However, thanks to the xda community, we always have the latest ROMs for our devices. It is very likely that we will have roms for android N, then O when they will be available. Furthermore, we already have all the recent technologies, like NFC, so our device shouldn't be outdated in terms of hardware unless a really essential new technology comes out.
So, it is very probable that your S5 will last at least until the S8 comes.

S5 is fine with Marshmallow and probably going to be fine with the next iteration of Android N. After that who knows. You might need to switch to newer hardware then.

The hardware will be fine for years to come however whether or not it'll still be supported by the dev community is largely unknown and not likely.
Sent from my SM-G901F using Tapatalk

Should last for 5 years. And more.
It depends if you are botherd about updates or not.
Because galaxy S5 gets 2 major updates from Samsung.
Or you can install custom ROMS for new major updates.
But small updates like security patches should get for few more years.
Even budget smartphones for £70 can run fast and smooth for normal use.
But for high end games and best camera you need flagship spec's then get Galaxy S7.
And some people got galaxy S3 and S4 and it's running fine.
Does android 6 Marshmallow lag on galaxy S5?

No, actually i really love the device now. Lollipop was bad and i was dissapointed but now everything is so smooth.
About the updates, if there is custom roms im fine. My 5yr old Xperia P still has some customs and its mid-range phone when it was new.

I don't know about the quality of the components and the lasting usability of them but I know that I still got my Galaxy S1 i9000 since summer 2010 and it's working the same since back then. In the next summer it'll be 6 years since I got it.
A few months ago I got myself an S5 Neo and I'm very happy with it, I dropped it by mistake on a stone then bumped into water and it doesn't have a single scratch or glitch although this version of S5 doesn't have a protection cover to the USB port.

Well i wont use it 5 years more but my question is will it run everything next 2 years smth like that.

Not sure what you're asking, no-one has a crystal ball, no-one knows when new high end games are going to flood the play store and what specs they'll need, apart from the people making them
Why not look at the history of the Galaxy S series and see how long they lasted before they couldn't run the latest games

If you want to play the latest games on VR virtual reality then you need galaxy S7.
All games should run fine on galaxy S5.
And it's upto developer if he wants to make his games more power and 3D. Only time will tell.
But for normal use it can last for over 5 years or even more.

According to my views S5 G900F this is a workhorse and regarding product design this is quite good.
In the question which part of it will fail first? This is USB Micro B connector / charging port.
I made the choice to get original S-View wireless charging case, this will reduce USB Micro B connector wear in long term.
