Samsung unveils Galaxy S5 with 5.1-inch screen... Deception ?

Posted by etaab
I hope so. It looks boring and unoriginal. The specs also scream 2013.
If its true, i'll probably be going down the HTC / Sony / LG route with my upgrade this year.

2 GB RAM, weird.
Posted by Away
There should be UN resolutions past forbidding phones from being this ugly. Israel won't oblige, but we at least have hope the South Koreans will...
Posted by admad
I think GSMArena has correct specification.
This phone has 16/32GB internal memory, no 4k video recording. It's weird, this phone kind of sucks compared to Z2.

Yeah, I was expecting 3,000mAh minimum. I presume their ultra power saving feature makes up for the lower battery capacity than we were expecting.
I must admit I take back my previous comment, now ive seen the blue version I like how it looks. But it did need a refresh of how it looks, which they simply haven't. I know they banged on about it being palm friendly with its silly designed for humans slogan with the S3, but they could have kept that theory with a bit more effort in the design.
2014 appears to be the year of lazy development. This looks the same as the S4 & S3, HTC's phone looks the same, Sony's Z2 looks the same as the Z1..
They don't seem to be putting the effort into the hardware at all. I wanted OIS minimum but ive not heard it mentioned once.

GSMARENA is wrong, S5 Camcorder records video in 4K
Posted by franky900320
Seriously?? Samsung really messed up this one.......I dont like Samsung but really I did expect more from them. S5 is a very underwhelming device.
Are they playing some joke lol?

Design boring,battery too small still,nothing amazingly new & has anyone noticed the muted applause at the event??

Great to see Samsung using their high quality plastic again in a £600 flagship device. So the star of MWC is the Sony Xperia Z2. Could Samsung finally be on a downward spiral now Sony, Nokia and maybe even HTC are coming for them they have become static just like Apple have done with the iPhone until iOS7. Samsung you only have yourselves to blame.
Posted by franky900320
Guess they used all their "innovations" on s4 already and now there are no new gimmicks for s5

Me thinks they are running out of ideas
Posted by XperiaJunkie
Samsung could of done anything they wanted with the S5 but instead decided to give it specs from 2013 and correct me if i'm wrong don't Samsung already have a S800 GS4 in certain regions around the world. It really puzzles me as to why they have held back the have known for a while now that the competition is catching them up and soon may even surpass them, maybe not in sales but as a new innovator and leader in mobile tech.
Posted by etaab
I think they all are. Theres literally nothing new about the phones announced from their 2013 counterparts.
Samsung are going more down the lifestyle route than raw specs, which is ok, but usually its nothing but gimmicks that people will never use.
Posted by franky900320
Maybe they are waiting for snapdragon 805 and will release an upgraded s5 later in the year like they did with snapdragon 600.
Posted by etaab
Probably, that was the rumour a few days ago.
We seem to entering an age of very small incremental updates to these phones. Theres very little progress going on where the hardware is concerned.
Samsung, HTC, Sony and the rest are all guilty of the same problem. The problem being, they're all too busy competing with each other that they're releasing new phones without there being any time for new hardware to be released.
I'm sure im not the only one here on Esato who would have liked to have seen the S5 and other phones like the Z2 released a little later in the year with more updated specs.
If I were to choose, I think I'd buy a Lumia 1020 at this point in time.
Posted by XperiaJunkie
by that time though the Qualcomm S615 64BIT octacore CPU with the adreno 405 GPU which will walk all over the S805 and I would probably expect that chip to go into the Xperia Z2 Ultra or the Z3 and Galaxy Note 4 which will probably be announced at IFA this August.

I don't really follow the latest trends in fastest cpu's in phones, it means little to me as long as it can run my games and other apps and OS updates for the life of my contract.
But they've all rushed these phones out. They say the life of a phone is 8 months, but my phone contract is 24 months, so essentially if I get an S5, the S7 or S8 would be due out by the time its up for renewal in 2 years.
A silly example, but the market is getting silly now.
Posted by Tsepz_GP
Good lord they really f***ed this one up, I mean the rumors already had me worried then they bring it out and it's even worse!!!
2GB RAM
2.5GHz S801 (I guess this is the S800AC) OR last years Exynos 5420
FullHD display
2800mAh battery
Totally disappointed, bring on the Note4, heck, I may even go for an iPhone at this point.
I was thinking Xperia Z2 then I remembered...16GB internal only
Actually, the Note 3 is even better than what I've seen at MWC so far. :/
Posted by Bonovox
Samsung should also use Lithum Polymer like in the G2 as the G2 battery life is brilliant
Posted by XperiaJunkie
@etaab I completely agree with you my Z1 will easily handle any app or game that is thrown at it for another 18 months I would think and plan on keeping it for at least another year there is one thing with the pace of tech slowing down it will future proof our smartphones for longer

If they have reached a saturation point in term of specs for the time being,they could have used this opportunity to introduce a whole new design...which GALAXY really,really needs.
Posted by etaab
I didn't like the Xperia Z at all when it first came out, the Z1 fixed much of the issues I didn't like about the original.
But the Z2 is also disappointing for the same reasons as the S5. I wouldn't mind getting a Sony phone as im into getting a Playstation 4 in the coming months, so it would partner with it. But the same problems still worry me about Sony phones.
The S5 is a safe bet that it'll be very very good, a good performer all round - but safe is boring.
I might be off to Windows Phone this year..
Posted by Tsepz_GP
I just thought of something, remember how Samsung changed the Galaxy S2 CPU spec after announcement? Could they do that with the S5? I'd love to get 3GB RAM in there at least!
Etaab
Thats the thing, with Samsung you're guaranteed timely OS Updates, High functionality and so on, I'd find it hard to leave. Sony Z, Z1 and Ultra still waiting for 4.4, same with LG, great phones, but SW updates? G2 still no 4.4, and the Optimus G Pro1 has barely seen support after 4.2.2.
HTC are my final hope, I hope the ONE 2 is a beast.
Posted by aussieland1
Actually the CPU in the gs5 is snapdragon 801 just like in z2 so I am not sure why Samsung is getting so much flack. The snapdragon 805 is not yet available so 801 is the only option at the moment. The major dissapointment to me is the design- can they not change it?
The previous rumours were indicating premium version with 2k screen being released this year I reckon that one will have the snapdragon 805 and hopefully the new design. One thing is sure - hopefully samsung is going to price the gs5 reasonably -this is essentially last year hardware.
I like the fact that they changed the menu button into multi tasking button it make store sense. Also the indications are that tw is less cluttered that would be a nice change. All in all this won't make me give up my a note 3...

wonder what happened to the rumoured s5 with metal chassis and qhd screen,maybe samsung will spring a surprise with it.

Samsung has sold 200 mill Galaxy S handsets:http://www.sammobile.com/2014/02/24/samsung-sold-more-than-200-million-galaxy-s-handsets/
My guess is that the S5 will be a success just like the previous models
The design is not for all, but that goes for any phone. If you don't like it, it simply was not made for you
Posted by Bonovox
@Rikken sales mean nothing to me
Posted by rikken
But it does to Samsung
Posted by Bonovox
That's a little obvious but it's not the spectacular upgrade s it??
Posted by rikken
No it's not. But does it really matter ? It is an upgrade, what more can one expect ? No quantum leaps in technology these days

Few are these days...
Brilliant from HTC

You know what I'm loving here? Nobody is making excuses and apologizing for Samsung, had I posted similar comments in a Sony thread I'd be labelled a troll and told by those WHO THINK they run the forum to leave the thread
Rikken
No doubt, the Galaxy S5 will blow ALL its competitors out the water in sales and probably in performance and updates to, but we Samsung users are so used to a high level of specs and features that the S5, in my opinion is a disappointment, if it was another Android maker that made it it would have been considered very good, but this is Samsung.
I'm getting the feeling Samsung are reserving the beast specs for the Note series, it seems the Note series going forward is where to go if you want the most premium and top shelf hardware. By putting 2GB RAM in the S5 and 3GB in the Note 3, plus 16&32GB variants only for S5, while there is only 32GB and 64GB for the Note series, the Galaxy S range is truly 'mass market' now, made for the average user, not the power user, thats what the Note series is for, IMO.

I think most company are more or less on par now with software, samsung extra functionality has become lesser with every new release because others has stepped up. 1-2 months parts for update at least going by last round of flagship. Really not that big of a deal personally, as long as they support it for the 18 months post release.
Posted by etaab
@ Tsepz_GP - I kind of disagree with you though. I only know one person with a Note and of the people I see in the street carrying them, they're all women ! Are women the Android power users ?
Thankfully my contract isn't up until May 30th - the day I signed up to the S3. So, ive a couple of months at least to think about my next phone.
Posted by aussieland1
As a Note user I would be very happy if the Note will stay orientated towards the power user. One thing I don't understand is why they made s5 larger than s4? I could see if th resolution was higher but it is not so why make it larger? To me for normal consumer 5 inches screen should be the maximum size- already I know people that think that s4 is too large
Posted by etaab
They're all getting bigger though. The Z2 is bigger than the Z1.
Im happy with my S3's 4.8" screen, I don't mind it getting a little bigger but it also means the bezels get larger too. GSM Arena say they expect the S5's bezel to be bigger due to the water-proofing.
Also they say " The camera does, however, record QHD video - Samsung's initial information was for 1080p, but we can now confirm it's really QHD (2160p)."
I couldn't care less about 4K recording, or whatever its called, as at the moment I don't own a 4K TV, I don't know anyone that does and I have no future plans to buy one being quite happy with a full HD 1080 tv.

Samsung Galaxy S5 specs review
http://www.phonearena.com/new[....]Galaxy-S5-specs-review_id53075
Posted by etaab
There still appears to be some minor confusion over the Snapdragon used. Some sites say 800, some 801.
It doesn't make much difference though according to the early benchmarks which put it at the top of the chain again. For a couple of months anyway.
Posted by aussieland1
It is snapdragon 801 just like on sony z2. It is actually clocked at 2.5 which is more than on z2. 801 is not a major upgrade from 800 apparently it is more like a s800 clocked at higher frequency. Never the less the performance should be better than the one on s800.
In terms of size increase I meant body of the phone. Essentially s5 is taller and wider than s4. I don't mind large phones (I have a note 3 and a lumia 1520) but I am afraid it is reaching a limit where it will be considered too large by normal consumers. Hopefully I am wrong though

hmmmmm now we know where samsung got their design inspiration from lol.......
