Most of the features should be brought to the note 3.. You can already use the low brightness setting by using screen filter

Only thing I don't see coming will be the AF shot time and fingerprint sensor.

Maybe I'm wrong about the AF shot time if sensor is similar.

I'm just wondering since I see nearly everyone talking about using a glass screen protector you get that little plastic over the home button to make it natural and easier to press. Will this mean these glass protector are gonna have to get incredibly thin or just disappear as a one off product

Go to S5 from Note 3 ??? Only if I become crazy :eek:

Note 3 FTW !!!!

For me S5 = "samsung doesn't know what to do next"

S5 reads pulsation ... S6 will do what??? blood analysis ??!?? AHAHAHAH

We are paying lot of cash for these samsung devices

For this amount of cash we earn to use a premium made phone

They only changed the backcover and couple minor changed and they gonna ask 600 to 700 euros for it completly insane

And their lovely knox when the ceo sayed about knox i would boeeehhhh him if i was there in barcelona

1 device had my attention today thats sony xperia z2

Thats a lovely premium device

And loled about htc tweet:

That s5 buyers will regret on may 24 :))

Not bad, but has the same total size as Note 3 and the same effective screen size as the S4 :rolleyes:

Also no easy to replace on the go battery.

The menu button will nullify the extra screen size on most apps.

I am glad to see people are beginning to see through all the hype and marketing.

No way this is better than a note 3.

In fact I would buy the S4 at half the price as they are virtually the same.

Sorry forgot... Will have to buy my heart beat monitor separately.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] ixon2001:
You have to be mad to change from a Note 3 to the S5, if anything it more of a downgrade.

The Note 4 should be the big step up, as Google will have Android 5.0 ready, the 8 core Snapdragon 810 will also be out, both gonna be 64bit, plus a QHD screen, 4GB of memory along with the 16mp camera from the S5.

Most of the features that are software based, like the new Touchwiz & some of the camera stuff will make it way onto the Note 3 at some point this Summer with an update.

Hopefully Samsung have shot themselves in the foot with the S5, it's a poorly built device considering what they are up against now in terms of build quality on an Android device. Apple can release pretty much anything and it will sell but not sure the other companies have that fanaticism as with Android you can jump from one manufacturer to the other and stay within the Android ecosystem.

Sony have stepped their game up with the Xperia range, really well built phones and waterproof too. HTC have come back strong with the build quality too.

Samsung's new S5 looks like a toy in comparison. I've got the Note 3 but was a few seconds away from going for the Sony Z1.

Hey after sleeping over night and having a cup of coffee I am starting to believe why they made the s5 like this.

The s4 wasn't selling they way they wanted but they have a few new devices like note pro 12. 1 and such.

With the s5 out I think they kept it simple enough not out do its current line up of new products.

Maybe they want to shift the big upgrade to the note line first then to s line. I mean why make a phone 5 month after you make the note 3 to blow it away in terms of hardware.

All I know is the note 4 will be damn impressive

dont forget the thanks button if I helped out!!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] dsm52:
I can't see any reason to upgrade. The n3 and s5 are different devices for different people. Bring on the n4!

I think the one thing that would have really set the s5 apart (and got people salivating to upgrade to it) would have been a really premium industrial design and build, a la htc one. I personally hate the design of the s4 but the s5 is at least a step, albeit a tiny one, in the right direction. But it's still too toyishly rounded vs the squarer broader look of the n3.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] pete4k:
Right now the highest Qualcom SOC is 801 and that's what S5 got, so I'm not sure what "blow away hardware" you're talking about. If you're thinking about 64 bit chips, those are not available yet, so it would be hard to introduce phone running hardware, that's not in production yet without major delays. I think we all should agree that more than 1080p on 5 inch screen is overkill that will not improve visual aspect, but would just slow down graphics, camera is new and improved, there is fingerprint sensor, heart rate monitor, so I'm not sure what other hardware available now, could Samsung cram into S5 on top of what it got already. I read all the rumors ahead of time, but I always felt some of them were way over top.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
Ok look going from the Note 2 to the 3 was huge, we got a quadcore a15 processor and a gpu that is 5 times faster. We got 2 inches plus 1080p SOLED.

On top of that it was 32gb as a norm versus 16

The s3 to the s4 was just a big of a difference. The S5 has the same processor as the note 3 only slightly faster and I really could care less for a finger reader and pulse reader. I dont even use the thermometer on our device as it is!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
To go from Note3 to S5 is like to go from HORSE to donkey;):rolleyes:
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pete4k:
I know what you're saying, but ATM there is not much new in hardware, until 64 bit chips come and as far as I know they're not here yet and I'm not even sure where are we as far as Android 64bit goes, may not even be ready for Note4 in the fall. i think phones are reaching the point, just like computers, where advancement has to slow down. My 7 yr old desktop runs 3.2GHz, has 1 TB drive and has 3 GB of RAM, similar specs to newest midrange computers being sold now.

No matter how you look at it S5 is the fastest phone on the market right now.

And to expect Note3 going from the fastest and one of the best phones on the market 4-5 months ago to become obsolete after S5 introduction is just ridiculous IMO.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] jetbruceli:
I would not say fastest what about the Xperia z2 and LG G2pro

They just wanted something out quick and to the normal consumer they wont care much about specs as long as it looks cool and does some crazy stuff like pulse reading.

I just think its really like a Gs4plus than a s5 which should have some breathtaking new hardware.

OH well dont care really I dont plan on upgrading til the note 5 anyways
[Galaxy Note 3 General] pete4k:
I'm not sure about LG, but I'm pretty sure Z2 got the AB version running 2.3GHz, S5 comes with 2.5 GHz AC version and I think it's the only phone, running that for now.

Of course, I got Note3 for it's large screen and s-pen and knew long time ago the S5 had never a chance to be replacement for my Note 3, even if I was crazy enough to upgrade my phone every 3 months, but S5 may be a good phone for my wife, since Note is a little bit too big for her. I'm actually relieved they didn't get rid of physical keys, or easily bend metal casing as some rumors suggested and I like water and dust proofing, wish I had that on my Note 3.

I think the best comments I saw where that samsung pulled an apple on the new s5 I mean I hate it when new phones come out, I have that problem where I start to feel the shortcommings of my device versus the new vastly improved fetures of the new model. But fortunately thanks to samsung epic fail, this time I feel really good that I got the note. Besides I still have my HTC one and on many occasions it still beets the note on some real life performance situations especially in sound quality, build quality and simplistic and comperativly unbloated android flavour. I am much more intrested in the HTC one because. Samsung's phone are cutting edge and feture packed but they lack the diligence and quality that HTC have strived reach and maintain in reference to the One. I went from iPhone to galaxy s3 (my most hated phone) to HTC one and note 3 but the The aptly named HTC one is by far the best in my book

I think Samsung are gonna take a major hit on the S5. It's no where near what I was expecting in regard to specs or looks. Sony Z2 does look good. The only things that have let Sony devices down in the past are the screen and the battery life, both of which seem to have been addressed with the z2. Not gonna swap my note 3 for it tho!

No. The S5 has nothing my Note 3 does not already have, aside from the, frankly quite pointless, fingerprint scanner.

Using it for payments is all fun and well, but over here the companies and banks won't use it because Apple has no NFC chip and they don't want to deal with the discrimination complaints.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] sergiu84:
There's no need as far as I'm concerned:

the screen is the same, just smaller

moar MHz - meh, the Note 3 is plenty fast already

RAM - Note 3 wins, 3GB vs 2GB

the camera has more MEGAPIXELZOMG, but unless the sensor is bigger (see Lumia 1020) then the quality won't really be that much better, not enough to warrant an upgrade anyway

fingerprint scanner - really? It may be convenient, but it's not a major thing IMHO

hearbeat sensor - a bit of a gimmick

IP67 - yes, this would be nice on the Note 3 and in fact on a lot of devices, but it's not a total game changer in any way

So no, I'll be sticking to my Note 3 for now. :victory:

Quoting from ChiefRA: “Samsung claims that there are over 1 million Knox users” that a false assumption. We are “forced” to use the Knox as since Android 4.3, the Knox comes pre-installed as system app and cannot be turned off."

It should be optional for knox, not "forced"..

Stupid Samsung..

The knox **** has upset everybody.

Furthermore, they have this habit of including 1 or 2 new features and removed some other features in their new devices/firmwares.

So, I will say NO to any Samsung devices from now on.

Unless, they put the knox **** as an 'optional app'.

But, I doubt they will do this.

Until then, no to Samsung and u will chase away yr consumers.

S5? IP67, copying like Sony??

A better camera and better health sensor??

A better knox **** environment??

A probable epic failure.

It's not worth for the change...

Xperia Z2 will be better and good choice for me.

The Black Phone will be even better.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] ixon2001:
The camera won't be all that much better if better at all compared to the Note 3, yeah the S5 got a bigger sensor, but it offset by adding more pixels to that sensor.

The other stuff is software based and could easily be added to the note 3 with an update.

Low light shots will still probably be mushy crap, but if anything they might be tiny bit better than what the Note 3 is currently capable of in low light.

Camera response looks like it gone back to the S3/Note 2 speed so that good at least.

But really Samsung should have lowered the MP count back to 8mp, with the new sensor as this would have greatly improved picture quality with both better DR & low light shots while still giving enough room to crop if one wishes.

[Galaxy Note 3 General] gavinfabl:
I was going to get the S5 due to its glam look. But then I realised I could buy a shimmering white back cover and a lime zest cover too, which I have. So that's one feature covered. And then I thought that I always needed a heart rate monitor. Then I found out a visit to the play store and a download later I had the same feature now with my Note 3.

So there must be other stuff new. Ultimate power mode and S Health will all be available in the Samsung App Store. I I can buy any of the wearables too. So what's left. Waterproof and rustproof. Good idea. But a case will help there.

But the camera is much better if you need it. So surprisingly I won't be upgrading just yet ...
[Galaxy Note 3 General] coolubi:
I though about it before I saw the launch but then it just felt samsung had run out of ideas not worth upgrading jn my opinion.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] gavinfabl:
The S5 is and will be a very good phone. But so is the Note 3 and the gap isn't enough to think of changing especially if the s pen is needed.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] barondebxl:
Honestly the Note 3 is the better device. The S5 may be using a slightly more powerful CPU but the note 3 has its 3gb of Ram, all the S pen features, probably the better battery life and 32 gb of storage minimum. On top of that the note 3 is definitely the most feature proof device on the market right now, no question.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] Random Select:
It's still considered water resistant and not waterproof. It's a great move by Samsung to make it IP67 out of the box. No phone in today's world should become a paperweight after a sprinkle of water or an accidental drop into a puddle of water.

Anyways to answer the OP's question, I will not get the S5 because I consider it a downgrade. I use the S-Pen a lot with productivity apps and I don't plan on getting rid of my phone until the next Note is released.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] nicholaschum:
I agree that that HTC has grown in popularity, it has grown to be on most every asian friend's hands.

Seems as if you love iPhones, the next step would be an HTC One, as the build quality is similar.

However, even though I owned an HTC One X, I will pledge to never own an HTC device that is NOT metal and that is NOT unibody as I have seen so many cases where the casing falls apart or crack, and that is just poor quality control.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
It's a downgrade no matter how you look at it.

- No Spen.

- Smaller screen (I could never go back to below 5.7".).

- 2GB RAM instead of 3GB

- 16GB as opposed to 32GB. (They never ship the 'big' versions to the EU)

If all that's an improvement over the Note 3 is the camera, I'll pass. I own a 1400 euro DSLR (EOS 70D), I am not wasting 800 euro on a phone that is less to the one I already have.

For the cost of an S5, you could just buy a half-decent DSLR, or Digital Camera if you prefer something more portable and/or less serious. For the €799 that the S5 is going to cost, you could also buy a Canon Powershot G1 X Mark II. Or a Nikon Coolpix P600 for €500. That way you own a seriously decent compact camera that'll last you quite a lot loner than any smartphone, and works a whole lot better with a much better sensor. Or a Canon EOS 600D + 18-55mm IS II + 55-250mm IS II for €628 with a seriously better sensor than anything a smartphone has to offer.
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ixon2001:
Problem is not everybody wants to carry a camera everywhere they go, so having a decent camera on ya phone is a must for some.

I have a 3 camera's a Panasonic G5, Fuji X20 & my trusty old Nikon D300S. all these vastly out perform my Note 3 camera, but yet I use the camera more on the Note 3 than i do any of the other camera's combined because it always with me when i'm out & about.
