"Finally, I believe that the S5 is a great phone to own and at a price of 35k, it is a steal"

"I purchased S5 in exchange of my older Samsung galaxy s3 (working mobile) for which flipkart paid only INR 3500 which is very less when compared to the deals over other sites such as snapdeal and many more online stores were offering me 5000 Rs for my S3"

"But by the time i realized the actual worth of my older phone, I placed an order which could not be cancelled as I have applied SBI deal and big billion day sale was over by that time"

"awesome screen, vivid colours, and best camera i have seen till date"

"(no offence but im not considering chinese brands)THE GORGEOUS SCREEN AND THE CAMERA IS THE REAL STUNNER HERE"

" comparison even though s5 Indian model will take out the z2 and m8 in camera category alone because of cell level pixel image vertex polarization is very good in s5 camera because of big lenses more light and details are got, you can see s5 lenses bulging out it is due to additional filters"

"following are the benefits of xperia z2 over galaxy s51) Better Processor (snapdragon 801 vs exynos) snapdragron 801 has about 30% better graphics processing power than this exynos in s5 2) Better Ram (3gb vs galaxy s5 2gb)3) Better screen(IPS PANEL of z2 which produces better color gamut than amoled of s5"

"the 2gb ram of s5 is enough n suits well for playing all games n fr multitasking"

" Unless you are an hardcore gamer who uses his smartphone for virtual reality games, there is no need of an UHD display and trust me even the 1080p diplay is sufficient for the gaming purpose"

" That's hardly enough for 3 HD games"

" BUT,In India launched with exynos Octa core version which is quite fast, but the games and apps are better optimised for Snapdragon SoC because it is more popular"

"Till date i waiting for a non heating Phone"

" Another factor which gave me some peace of mind was the presence of good service network for Samsung Phones"

"Indian version : No Snapdragon (cheap replacement) -- CORRECTION - technically the existing processor of S5 in India is better then Snapdragon"

"M8 has better processor (in India) but it hardly makes a difference unless you are eager to have 4G"

" (Also, more RAM usage means faster battery drain)"

"its not working correctly ram is waste "

" The available RAM is less as 1.2/2.0 GB is being eaten up by the system (I am using lollipop) heavy multi tasking might lead to stuttering but day to day activities are buttery smooth on the device"

"yes processor is less powerfull but only in graphics department but is by no means slow"

"-Faster exynos processor( Yeah"

"even motoX and nexus 5 comes with better processor and features"

" RAM is enough for this device"

"following are the benefits of xperia z2 over galaxy s51) Better Processor (snapdragon 801 vs exynos) snapdragron 801 has about 30% better graphics processing power than this exynos in s5 2) Better Ram (3gb vs galaxy s5 2gb)3) Better screen(IPS PANEL of z2 which produces better color gamut than amoled of s5"

"Go with nexus 5 ,you have wonderful display ,better processor lower price and its google"

"Samsung's processor looks good only on the paper"

"2) Only 2 GB ram : This shouldn't be a con for most smartphones as it's plenty but since Samsung has poorly implemented touchwiz, you get only 300-400 MB of usable ram since most of it is used up by system apps"

" Display z also of best quality"

" despite being 5.1 inch screen itz so compact that can be easily used by one hand"

"Excellent display"

" screen is just great"

" The screen is as bright and crisp as it can be"

" Display is awesome, camera is fantastic, swiping my fingerprint is really cool"

" I feel like its a real durable device, its solid, screen is a pleasure to watch, good optics, the pros according to me ends here"

"# AN EXCELLENT DISPLAY: Still standing tall even after 1 year of its release, packs an incredibly sharp display at 432 ppi good color reproduction & high contrast ratio, coupled with some tweakings at the settings"

" It has a very good camera, no lags or whatsoever and also a decent battery life It also has other features like fingerprint scanner (works around 9/10 times if we use it properly), good Full HD screen, IR blaster and good Samsung features(multitasking, s health etc)"

"but u still get better camera and display"

"you just need to explore those extra features which are unique in its class like Air gestures, IR controls, heartbeat sensors, calories calculations, AMOLED crisp display, Photo studio, 4K videos, 60fps recordings, water proof, wireless charging and a lot more"

"* Camera in one word would be " "(speechless)BETTER than the Xperia Z2 too,due to various modes and mainly due to,on S5 we view them on the super HD Amoled display provided,Might differ when compared on a HD Monitor/Display Device for both devices"

" People complaining about their personal app developing not being fast on the device,is generally a fault of their programming team, who are unable to optimize their app into this brilliant display"

"nice super amoled display with very gud picture quality"

"(no offence but im not considering chinese brands)THE GORGEOUS SCREEN AND THE CAMERA IS THE REAL STUNNER HERE"

" Other than this display is gorgeous, S health app is cool"

"Better buy a bigger screen phone (5.5"and above), offered at lower prices, for its easy to read and type on them and they do not pose much of an encumbrance"

"Main Pros:- Slightly Bigger screen and battery"

"Go with nexus 5 ,you have wonderful display ,better processor lower price and its google"

"An awesome phone no doubt, has the best display on the planet, IP67 certification"

" Bezel less display like the G2 looks gorgeous and provides rich & immersive experience"

" The chinese manufacturers r doing well but with no proper promise of after sales services"

"-Best service (Frequent updates and good servicing centers across India )"

" Another factor which gave me some peace of mind was the presence of good service network for Samsung Phones"

" And samsung's service is great"

"IT WILL GET FURTHER STABILITY SOFTWARE UPDATES AND MARSHMALLOW HAS ALREADY BEEN RELEASED(g900h will receive it shortly) THANK YOU AND KUDOS TO FK FOR THEIR FANTASTIC SERVICE"

"Very good service"

" For eg, if you want to hide some private pics through some of the android apps like Vault or Gallery Lock Pro, it won't hide the pics from gallery"

" Multitasking on this is a pleasure and the new Android 4.4.2 TouchWiz UI is much better than its previous versions"

" in which we may expect nice updates like new Os"

"It is lot better than j series phonesS5 has all the sensors we require in today's lifeAlso it can be upgraded to android marshmallow 6.0.1The overall quality of the phone and box is brand new it is worth buying Finger print scanner is slow but accurate I will recommend this product instead of j series phones"

"M8 is better in looks and speakers"

"Awesome speakers no denying but how often can you play them out loud"

"well d back speakers is a mess "

"So guys before shouting plz be technically sound enough"

" Loudspeaker sound could have been better, might because of water proofing"

"music quality is nice"
