[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demlasjr:
Hey guys, I read some posts here and I watched the unpacked event. I was a S3 owner and I now have the S4 since July 2013. I wouldn't replace my S4 with the S5 for nothing.

First of all, there are same specs. Also I'm sure that they will release the 16GB and people will have to import / wait months for the 32GB. I fought a lot to get the S4 32gb. 32GB should be a standard nowadays!

2) right swipe to open the magazine app, this already looks like HTC. I don't want magazines, I want to navigate between apps or even better, open Google Now just like in Nexus.

3) 2.5 GHz is exaggerated for a mobile phone, you will see no speed boost, other than benchmarks. 2Gb of ram is kinda disappointed but enough with Kitkat. I got the Kitkat 3 days ago and I get like 30% less memory use than with JB.

4) not big difference between S4 and S5 battery, but considering that the cpu is more powerful, the battery usage will be kinda same.

5) not big difference between camera, but I love the speed of it. That's a great update. But no optical stabilization, doh, LG kicks ass here

6) heart rate monitor? Come on, there are tens of apps on Google Play doing the same with the flash and camera. And are very accurate (tested it with oxymeter).

7) Water resistant ? Soft back? I use Spigen case since my first Samsung phone, I don't see the back of the phone and with the case and nano crystal, my phone is pretty water resistant. We need water proof!

8) Dual speed? most of people have limited traffic for 3g or 4g and use wifi to not reach the monthly limit.

9) design is not as nice as S4, because is more square.

10) screen and UI. Screen is similar as S4, all those screen features are software and I'm sure that in the next S4 update we will get the same menu UI.

11) why they changed that menu button with the multitasking page (long press home button on S4?). I think menu was more useful.

12) why the hell they don't place the speaker on the bottom of the phone instead on back. We want stereo and good sound is you put the phone on a table. With S3 and S4 you almost don't hear the phone if you put it on a table, with the screen up.

13) what's better than leaving home, and in case you remain without battery, borrow your friend usb cable. Yup, I'm sure everyone have a standard mini usb cable, but not mini usb v3. I use the cable only for updates, I don't care about the transfer speed. Also I'm sure that the water resistant gum/protection for the usb port will break pretty fast opening it every day.

Also the Unpacked event sucked. S3 had the best Unpacked event presentation, then Note 2 with the Harry Potter was a joke, S4 event was boring and even worst, but at least we learn about the phone features, same with Note 3, but this time, was the world worst presentation ever. No video teaser like the last year with the kid with the box, nothing shown about the phone, a lot of talk, no suspense, no good presentation, no specs announced, no actors, no exclusive event, no much ad, nothing. What's next? Unpacked without event?

They were in hurry, but I don't know why, they should release the phone in May, but with better specs and features. I'm sure they will have the year with less interest and sold units. It doesn't worth buying a S5 with 600 € (900$) when S4 is cheaper and cool enough.
