[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike21pr:
I believe the only gripe I have is with the back plate texture. I prefer even the hyperglaze over that crap that the gold looks like a band aid. As long as there is a least a minor UI refresh and no issue with performance or lag (looking at you GS4) Im ok with the rest.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLARiiON:
G3? Why don't you talk about G4 or G6 if you are going to speculate about future devices??

BTW, what is so special in G2 not present in other phones?? There's not a single hardware in G2 that you can't find in any other flagship.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
I won't recommend G4 or G6 cause they will be released in 1 year and 3 years respectively.... try again.

The G3 is just a few months apart from the S5 release (3 months at the most).

What's in the G2 that's not in other devices? It's level of customizability, it's very thin bezel,the unique back button that are only available on LG devices. The G2 itself on paper can go toe to toe with the S5, imagine the G3.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
I don't understand what is so special about the G2 either, im not saying its a crap phone but people some people keep going on about how the G2 is so great and better than the s4 and how the s5 is a disappointment and wait for the G3.

The buttons on the back is a silly idea imo and even the workers at carphone and phones 4 u say its stupid as more often than not you have to turn the phone around to see what button your pressing.

In the uk the 16gb model which is the only model available only has 10gb free memory, yes only 10gb and no micro sd slot and yet it costs £440,

yet people were complaining about the S4 built in memory even though it has a micro sd slot (shake my head), another thing is people complain about touch wiz and its cartoony UI, so err wtf do you call the one on the G2 then??

Ive been told by various carphone warehouse stores and phones 4 u stores not many of them get sold and that the S4, note 3, Iphone 5/5s, HTC one are all better sellers

It has better specs on paper than a S4 in some areas but given the choice most people rather have a S4. Everyone i know has either a S4, note 3 or iphone. I talk about the LG G2 and they laugh and ask my what is that crap. I tell them about the specs it means nothing to them.

If it is on paper specs that people go by then why doesnt the G2 outsell the S4?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soryuu:
Because numbers on paper are just that - numbers on paper.

(Don't get me wrong though, I agree with you, I don't really get the G2 hype myself)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Well better is always subjective, you cant say definitely that a device is better than another and everyone agreeing across the board. But you can't also judge a device and say it is better or worse than another unless you have used/owned that device.

So what is so special about the G2? Well it's a super fast phone, with almost the same size as the S4 but less bezel, excellent battery life, a great camera, SoC 800, 32 GBP of storage, excellent display. It pretty much hits all the mark of a great phone. It's also has a very customizable UI.

Your opinion about the buttons on the back is your opinion just like ppl think it is silly to scroll down a web page with your eyes...

Based on your logic the iPhone is the best phone in the world since it outsell all android phones combined... So are you ready to accept the 5s as the best phone out? If no why?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLARiiON:
Whoever thought of that back button is a complete idiot. customizability?? which phone doesn't allow you to customize?

G2 can also go toe to toe with G2 Pro. So, you saying that's another worthless device? By the time G3 is launched, Note 4 will come, or did you conveniently forget that?

Thin bezel is only thing that G2 now has better than others. Nothing (I repeat nothing) else is superior in G2. It's just another android flagship. Just that you have it, doesn't make it any superior to others.

LG takes it's time to copy Samsung, like Samsung did with Apple few years back. But the level of copying LG does, it's beyond shameless.

BTW, if you want to troll, go back to the G2 forum. I don't think anybody invited you to share your enthusiasm for G2 here, you have a large G2 forum for exactly this purpose. Why you guys post here just to start a fight when you have nothing constructive to say is beyond logic. This place already is a breeding ground of trolls.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
You sound like a typical person who loses an argument. You ask a question, I answer and you talk about trolling. Why did you ask me in the first place about the G2 if you didn't want me to post here?

Your opinion about the back buttons is an opinion based on emotion, don't be emotional man these are just phones. In practice I find the buttons to be pretty cool. Guess what? Because they are on the back LG was able to reduce the bezel...

Does LG copy Samsung? Absolutely. And?

Anyway we have gone off topic too long, but don't blame it on me expressing my opinion, blame it on yourself being emotional and not being able to discuss things calmly ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
As I said in the uk we dont have a 32gb version its a 16gb version with only 10gb user available, also i never said the G2 is a rubbish phone, I just said I dont get the hype of why its so much better than the samsung phones, the bezel size isnt a be all or end all to a phones design and the s4 has pretty thin bezels itself, s4 has excellent battery life for its size, also a great camera its also fast not that it is faster than the G2 and i think the display is great again not that its better than the G2.

next up whos talking about the igarbage. im talking about g2 vs s4 and im just stating that its not worlds better than the s4 and besides you want to mention speed and s800 well its newer than the s4 and is going to have a newer chipset. how does it compare in speed to the s800 version of the s4??

you say based on my logic the iphone is the best phone in the world??, your just proving more why paper stats specs isn't the be all or end all or cant you see that yourself by bringing the iphone into it as on paper the S4, G2, Note 3 have better specs than the iphone but it stills sells millions.

regarding the buttons on the back being a stupid idea yes that is my opinion aswell as many others but the same can be said about the features on samsung phones some like it some dont.

Oh and in the post above mine you say LG copies samsung, so? says it all really if the G2 is supposed to be a better device then they wouldn't need to copy samsung
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
I never said u said the G2 was rubbish, you brought up many points that I didn't raise at all.

However you did ask me if the G2 was better than the S4 why didn't it sell more. I gave you the iPhone example.

Lastly, I never said specs are the be all or end, you guys asked what is so great about the G2 and I gave my opinion.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degast:
To me the S5 is more than just another phone. Samsung does a nice job as introducing the device as a part-of-life object. Right now it's sports, health and fitness. I like that. When I see LG, HTC, Sony,..etc I just see a phone. It just doesn't feel the same to me (note: I owned LG phones, my girlfriend has Sony and I like them all) but for me the S5 feels a bit more integrated in my life.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:
And this is the winning strategy of samsung. This way they feel they will add many more user groups. Htc sony lg may be better but they are lacking this strategy. Even from ads samsung is going to show you why exactly you need this phone.

I'm just wondering whether I should wait for the Note 4 or buy S5 now.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLARiiON:
Here are very simple clear facts for you:

1. Nobody here is interested to know about G2. Got it?? This is a S5 forum - if you keep talking about G2 here, you're a troll. 1 or 2 statements are alright as a comparison (everyone does that), but you are acting as a LG salesman here.

2. We get it that you love your G2. Now go back to G2 forum, there are many more people moaning about G2 in that forum. This is no place to advertise your G2.

3. Expressing opinion is very good. Just not the perfect place to express your opinion about G2.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sohebq:
I have note 3 and I will wait for note 4. Now note series is a step ahead of series, all features of s series plus a lot more. You can say its a refined final product. I would suggest to wait.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RCJ89:
yoy mentioned 'on paper' the G2 can go toe to toe with the S5, so imagine the G3 thats why i started talking about spec sheets

and i also said 'if it was paper specs' people go for then why doesnt the g2 outsell the s4. And you bringing the icrap into it just backs up what i said as i dont think the alot of those who buy the icrap go for the paper specs do they. As every flagship android has better overall specs on paper vs icraps.

But never mind hey
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
You do realise that you asked me what was so special about it

" Why don't you talk about G4 or G6 if you are going to speculate about future devices??

BTW, what is so special in G2 not present in other phones?? There's not a single hardware in G2 that you can't find in any other flagship"

and I answered you. That's when you started crying.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLARiiON:
You are a serious troll, I will give you that. You keep trolling this forum and trying to sell LG phones.

You brought the topic to G3, when nobody asked you. Read the title of the thread, is it anyway related to G2/G3/Gx..?? [

Hint

: That's not a question for you, even though the sentence ends with a '?']

Who the hell are you to recommend anything to anybody? Do you consider yourself as bigger than normal people here? You are a typical LG troll, nothing more.

Here's my free advise to you -- go back to G2 forum. When you have nothing constructive to add to this discussion, stop wasting the space here. So why are you here when all you want to do is discuss about G2? Did anyone invite you to give lecture on LG phones? If anyone here needs to know anything about LG phones, please visit the respective forums. This is not a forum to discuss about LG phones. It will be very tough to find a bigger troll than you.

I don't think it's a disappointment because someone will really enjoy what it has to offer, while others may feel it hasn't added enough value to warrant leaving their current device.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qipengart:
True but who would enjoy what it offers? I think that it depends on what device they had previously.

Maybe iPhone users? LOL
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alhadee12:
It all depends on the device as we both stated. I use an iPhone 5s because my job provides it and I'm not impressed with it enough to make it my personal phone or daily driver.

I really like my S3. The S5 is like a S3 on steroids and then some more, not likely i will be disappointed, but I didn't expect miracles :p

What I long for is the real deal Ubuntu phone which can switch between desktop distro and phone distro in the same device, a true desktop replacement, but this was wayyyyyy to early for something similar to happen ;)

When I go into the store, take the device in my hand and play around with it feeling it out.

Then I will base my choice only on what my hands , eyes and ears tell me when using the test device at the shop counter.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alhadee12:
That's the method I generally use as well. I usually go a few times. Can't afford to buy on impulse.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qipengart:
Same here. I can't buy on impulse either. It takes me weeks or months to figure out what phone to get since I will have to live with it for a very long time.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degast:
Right now, I'm very much into running 3 times a week. GS5 + Gear fit would seriously complete my life at the moment, but I'm also a bit of a spec-whore. I would like to see Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM, QHD display,...etc. So I will just wait until Oppo Find 7 and HTC M8 get shown, check out those specs and if the Snapdragon 805 is featured in any of them I'm having serious doubts of buying the GS5. Apart from that, it doesn't matter what happens, I'm going to wait mid-to-end april to see how the GS5 holds up (remember the GS4 issues last year: pink screen,...). If it doesn't show a lot of those factory mistakes, I'll probably end up buying the GS5.

I really would like to seder in action, but I'm not sure if it will be a jump above the N3.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sublim3_Tilt:
I'm pretty content with my S3 and I still think i'm going to get the S5. It would be a no brainer if it had 3GB Ram and the Snapdragon 805 but it is a step up from the S3. I got a feeling I should wait and see what the Note 4 brings but I have been itching for a new toy since the S4 launched.

As someone else mentioned, when doing fitness, the S5 and Ill probably get a Gear2 will be a good combination.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
The more and more I think about it, the more I think the S5 is actually a pretty good device. I'm intrigued by some of its features.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alhadee12:
What features intrigue you the most that makes you want to try it?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandroid13:
To me it's the new ISOCELL camera, bigger and brighter screen, new power saving features, 128GB sdcard support and that blue color.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Well I do like the redesigned touchwiz, I'm intrigued by the ultra power saving mode since the battery is"only" 2800 mah, definitely the camera with its super fast focus. Also I really like the black version, it looks really nice.

Last year I owned pretty much all the flagship devices with the exceptions of Sony phones. As much as some of them were great (like the HTC one), those phone don't offer enough features like Sammy does. I get bored really fast with phones and the HTC one just got boring after a little while despite it being a great device. Samsung phones always have something going on and theres a feature for everyone.

Why don't those of you who need all of your files accessible at all times use cloud storage? Its hard to go somewhere now a days and not have WiFi or cellular available. All that being said I still have my Unlimited Data Plan with AT&T and ALL of my Files and Media stored on 4TB of Cloud. I stream pretty much all of my movies and music and pull documents as needed.

The S5 being able to expand up to a 128GB SD is amazing but is it needed?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
- What if you travel a lot for work/school? Flying doesn't allow internet connections in most cases and fast trains go through reception areas so quickly that there will be constant disconnects.

- What if you work for a company that restricts or in some cases even bans using cloud storage due to privacy concerns?

- What if your commuting transport goes through lots of tunnels or blind spots making streaming music while going to and from work/school impossible?

- What if you live in a country where Google Music or Spotify aren't allowed yet?

- What if you do have a limited data plan? They are getting more and more common.

You see this ongoing and constant discussion about storage space is like beating a dead horse. People who don't live in such circumstances don't think that some people might. And people who need their files/music/whatever on their device for whatever reason might not understand that larger space costs more money which could be saved for people who do have constant unlimited connections. It's not so black and white. The S5 will have millions of users and it is absolutely sure that some won't need even the basic 16GB of space while others will need to utilize the full 128GB micro sd card.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:

Some countries, its just not that feasible. New Zealand is probably a good example here. Plans are hell expensive here (ranging anywhere between NZ$50 to NZ$135. To put that into context, imagine buying a set of Sennheiser earphones every month and that's how much a decent plan is - in some plans you don't even get unlimited data).

4G is still in very early stages as well, and coverage is literally quite patchy. My brother's Note 3 will pick up 4G at a certain patch at my school, and then lose 4G and switch back to 3G as soon as he turns the corner. Another five metres and he might get it back again.

Wifi in public places is more of a rarity than a common sight most places will only ever give at most 100Mb daily. Most public places here don't even have wifi.

I use an unlocked S3 on a prepaid SIM, and even then I pay NZ$19 (will get you quite a bit of food in some places) for unlimited texts, 100 minutes and 500MB of data. Even limited data plans are pretty expensive.

So yeah, for people who live in places where data might not be a huge thing and public wifi is almost non-existent, a 128GB SD card might be a good thing if they carry around lots of stuff.
