is it possible if you can review the galaxy s5
SO WHEN WILL THIS PHONE BE COMING OUT! I JUST CAN'T WAIT! THE FLEX IS OK ONLY IF THEY HAVE A WATCH WITH IT. I RATHER STICK WITH THE SAMSUNG! IT U HAVE THE GALAXY ROUND COMING OUT, LET ME KNOW.
i like it
Patiently Waiting for The M8 and The Note 4.
It has a Snapdragon 801 SoC , and it is ip67 which means dust proof and water resistant up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.. It has the latest and greatest yeah but… Until fall when that monster Snapdragon 805 will be out with over 300 Gflops of pure power, this will be outdated.. So is it worth spending so much money to be flagship for just 6 months??
Samsung give us speed, power, innovation .. And stop doing this heart rate sensors and blah blah thing..
no one cares about the print scanner seriously
Tetra 4 vs snapdragon 800 vs tegra 3 which is better
Or Mali 400 vs tegra 3 ulp GPU vs adreno 305 which is better
Its water and dust resistant not waterproof.z2 is a lot better
Its water and dust resistant not waterproof.z2 is a lot better
This could very well be the first Samsung Android phone that doesnt lag and so will be very well be my first Samsung phone.
hey Jayce, just wanted to know your thoughts on what's next for Samsung after the launch of the new Gear Watch and Galaxy S5. What other facets of tech will they come to dominate or continue dominating?
Nice phone! Don't care for fingerprint scanning but nonetheless, still a nice product!
Very disappointed in Samsung. Its almost like Samsung is becoming more and more like apple. Smh
Samsung S5 wont be the best selling flagship android phone this year for sure… Sony Xperia Z2 has better body, screen, camera, dust and water proofing and this time a better UI. I am putting my money on the New HTC One aka HTC One 2 for a new flagship smartphone experience.
all of you people are complaining, but I think it is a good upgrade. also not everyone can afford the a new phone each year. I am upgraded this year, and I have a samsung stratasphere(2011)
I have an s4 and im actually thinking of waiting for the iphone 6 (never thought i should say that again) simply because every 2 generations apple changes the look of the iphone entirely and im curious to see
samsung made a desperate device. There is no wow factor in it. They just copied some features of other flagships and integrated to the gs5
dissapointed buuut… this was unpacked episode 1..ÂÂ
so there is the S5 PREMIUM comming.. isnt it?
how can i get a t shirt?
dude you said water proof !! its notÂÂ
I will wait for the next noteÂÂ
What a plain copy of apple apple releases gold 5s and samsung releases gold s4 and s5 and apple does a fingerprint scanner on the 5s and what does samsung do fingerprint scanner on the s5 COME ON SAMSUNG
Wow, a lot of negativity about this phone. But in reality it's really nice. A massive amount of power. And a simple design. The removable plastic back is apparently a huge deal…. but really 90% of people will put a case on it and barely ever see it. And it still has an SD card slot which is amazing. And the display is going to be as good as ever. It's hard to see anything much better then what it will have on it. And the phone will be oriented towards fitness which is a nice outlook for the company.
Once carriers get their bloat there will probably be 10gb of storage on there.
Let's wait for HTC…..not sure why because that black bar will probably kill that phone for me.
Moto also confirmed a phone for end of summer.
What do the Gigahertz do for the smartphone  plz im deciding between the Z2 and the S5
Hey Jayce, I think that the S4 may be using the 801 like the Z2 instead of the 800 because on Qualcomm's site the max clock speed for the 800 is 2.3 GHz but the 801 has a max clock speed of 2.5GHz and as seen in the S4, it clocked out the S600's processor at 1.9GHz.
Hey.! My question: What hapenned to the "Chromecast" section in Google Play App.?
I just bought a Pebble. Should I have done that or waited for something better? Thank u in advance.
i hate that gold backing it looks like a band-aidÂÂ
WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE RELEASED PLEASE ANSWER!
Wasn´t it waterresistant, not waterproof
why every reviewer try to make a pub of galaxy s5 o try to make it cool and better phone ? how much samsung paid u ? face it the s5 is just a big shit no one love itÂÂ
2014 is for z2 and htc … and the coming i6
People should seriously wait for the htc m8 because this is just pathetic.
Not a very sexy looking phone. I see no real reason for anyone who already owns an S4 to jump to S5. Really no need to.
Is it water proof?
Is it water proof?
Discrepancy*
There seems to be some discrepency with the device circulating around the web. Some are saying the SoC is the Snapdragon 800, and some are saying it's the Snapdragon 801. Which one is it?
I'm disappointed… i thought i'll win the tshirt :/
It's water resistant, not water proof
no leather, no metal, no 2k screen, no curved screen, no bezel-less screen, the ppi actually went down…..WTF EXACTLY CHANGED?! (who the fuck needs a heartbeat sensor……plz)
The back reminds me of my 2012 Nexus 7.
Finally!!!! I go with nexus 5
I'm a bit dissapointed. I though the GS5 was better
Its water resistant not water proof. Big difference.
Why tizen not android on the gear?
Does it have a 64 bit processor like iPhone 5s?
Truely not a big of a difrence…
Everyone is so distracted by the fact that it isn't metal to notice everything else it has to offer. Most of the phones on the market are made of plastic so I don't see what the problem is. No one cares that the LG G2 has a glossy plastic back.ÂÂ
