Who thinks that the Galaxy S5 is a disappointment?

I already saw the leaked images and feel that the S5 is a taller version of the S4 with ribbed back. And same cheap plastic. No go for me. I think LG or HTC will be winning?
Anyone else disappointed in what the S5 will be?

I think a lot of us are but let see what Samsung does. They are starting the announcement now. We'll have a better opinion afterwards.

The galaxy s1, 2, and 4 all seemed to be big leaps from the prior generation to me. The s3 at the least inherited a whole new design language. I love Sammy but the s5 seems to be a huuuuuge let down. It's not really their fault, most processor, screen, and camera improvements in the last year have been modest. But a let down nonetheless

I'm not at all impressed with the design of it. I expected something new with it. To me, this does not feel new. The whole Galaxy Gear and Fit stuff, don't care too much about either.
Now let's go with what I am impressed with. Just from seeing the UI, and hearing it's not packed full of useless S branded crap is a huge plus to me. The fingerprint scanner is pretty nice too.
I know people aren't too keen on Knox, but I'm hoping Samsung did improve on Knox for the corporate sector. The school district I manage the cell phone service for has upgrades coming in a month or two for 90% of the lines, and depending how Knox's security is, this is going to be a deciding factor in the new mobile purchases.

Maybe the version that leaked isn't the premium version. I will pass judgement once the device is officially announced.

I don't like the increases in size and weight, considering it only gets a 0.1" larger screen. The bezels look larger than the S4. Keeping the RAM at 2GB and 16-32GB storage (and, if the past is any indication, 16GB will be the only one readily available) for the 3rd straight generation, while the Note has increased to 3GB/32GB minimum, indicates that this is no longer their flagship phone. I had an S2, skipped the S3, now have an S4, and will skip the S5. Smallest increase in overall specs in the 'S' series yet. Water resistance is nice, but not that big a deal to me. USB3 is a nice upgrade, but that's the only thing that really jumps out at me. Camera is better, but I don't use a camera that much anyways, so doesn't matter to me. VERY happy they are continuing the use of SD cards & removable batteries, though. If I lost my S4 it would be a toss-up for me between the S5 & Note3.

no FM radio
Lack of FM radio is a disappointment. Still prefere phones with good old fashion radio receiver.

i expected more bang, but i guess jumping from my s2 to an s5 is indeed a huge gain!

The design is just...terrible.

I'm glad I purchased a Note 3. The GS5 looks too big to not be in the Note family.

Same RAM, lower perceived screen resolution, same design, really weird UI redesign. Not impressed. Should have been called GS4+
As for the next HTC phone, I have a feeling it will be a disappointment as well.

3 phones I'm interested in, the Z2 (never owned a Sony phone, it may be time), the G3 and iPhone 6. The S5 is a good phone but it just improved the S4. It's a marriage between the S4 and S4 active in what the S4 should have been in the first place. I think if I say S4 once more I'm gonna puke....

It look like a plan B device. Plan A failed for some reason!!
These specs are unacceptable

Everyone was hyping it to be the next best thing. Even a Samsung exec said that they understood how they failed to innovate with the S4. I even expected it to have the 2k resolution screen and camera with OIS since LG was able to do it a few months ago. Samsung sure made the people who bought the Note 3 feel good about their purchases.

"S5" Better call it S4+. Gonna wait to see the Premium version. The design itself nothing new. and the Specs are not terrible (2gb RAM) compared to GN3.

Wait so what is better?

horrid.!! Guess I'm going from 5s to 6. I had high hopes this would bring me back to Android.

Loyal samsung fan for last 3 years. Used all S series and then Note series too. Always loved Samsung but today I just want to cry. Samsung has let me down big big time. Used to make fun of iphone for identical crap but now the time is coming back on me...

Are you planning to 'keep' your G4?

Seeing as the G4 was released days ago I'm sure a lot of us are still within the 'buyers remorse' period, which leads me to the question, myself included.
Are you planning on keeping yours even if say root won't be available?
I'm on Tmobile, and used my jump (1) coming from the Note 4 and still trying to decide whether or not to keep the G4. To me it definitely feels better in hand and more compact. Plenty fast, camera is great but I am hoping for root as I'd want to disable some crap.
What's everyone else thinking?

I'm on those that don't care about root, so yeah i bought G4 to keep it as my 2015 phone and next year let's see what's up for me .
And i'm loving this phone in all ways so yeah, i'm not even thinking a bit about returning it.

I'm keeping it no matter what happens! Best phone ever 100000%!
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk

I'm thinking I'll return it. If not for the fact that I'm on Verizon and most likely the BL will remain locked, then because the WiFi load speeds suck. I get 40mb down on my 5ghz router yet the load times on Web pages are horrible. There is definitely something wrong with WiFi.

This is everything I could ask for in a phone. I don't see myself even upgrading next year. I don't know what I could even want extra. I only text my gf and family and browse the web and take pictures for self pleasure. I don't feel the need to spend another 600 on a phone. Keeping my g3 as a backup phone and possibly selling it if the price is right.

Love the phone. Only slightly better than the G3 in my opinion but thats still pretty darn good. Camera is amazing though and the rear speaker is loud and powerful. I'll be keeping it.

Love the phone since turning off fast dormancy fixed my battery problems, it's superior to my s5 in all respects now the s6 was just that one step too much like an iPhone for me and HTC pissed me off when they used to promise device updates and not deliver by uturning at the last moment. Only thing I'm waiting on its a decent gen 3 Android wear watch to launch. And root is no good to me as my banking app will not install to a rooted device due to security issues.

Even though this thing was totally an impulse buy (stopped at Best Buy Thursday to check out a floor model and ended up buying), I'm actually extremely satisfied. I think a lot of keeping or returning depends on the device you're coming from. For me, this screen blows the Nexus 6's out of the water in terms of brightness, color, and clarity. The size is more manageable and I'm not dealing with random app crashes (especially the google play services issues for the past couple weeks).
For the past few years, I've never had a preference between AMOLED or LCD, but I think this finally did it. I can't think of too many screens I've looked at days after purchase and still thought it was an absolute joy to look at.
I'm on AT&T and I can't say that root or no root bothers me too much. It's fun to tinker with new roms, but I don't have any real reason for root. I couldn't stand not having a notification light on the Nexus 6, so I needed root for that. The only thing I miss is being able to change my emojis to match my wife's S5. Another reason I enjoy root and unlocked bootloader is in case poor updates come out, then I can usually revert.
For reference, I've owned many phone in the past year and a half. Some short that got returned or sold and some for longer periods. Moto X 2013, Note 3, Nexus 5, Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy S5, G3, Galaxy S6, Nexus 6, and finally the G4.

I am getting it swapped out with Tmobile. Heat, lag, etc. Hope 2nd time's the charm...

I think im gonna keep it. I just ordered a bunch of stuff for it like quick charger, cases....

I'm pretty much set for another year. G3 before this and i avoided all the other temptations that came out before the G4 got here. I feel like i can do the same until next year.

Isn't fast dormancy beneficial to have on?
When I checked mine it's status was unknown, disabled it for now to see what happens.

Was told or read it's only beneficial if your carrier supports it else it generates Wake locks

that Was My g4 with it on no real use pretty much standby.
After I switched it off I'm calling my carrier on Monday to confirm if they support FD.

Who's your carrier?

I'm probably swapping for another G4 with Tmobile on Monday. Outside chance I get something else instead, but I really want the G4 to work out. I'm having touchscreen issues and my battery life isn't great.

The reviews wowed me much more than the actual phone, which isn't that but of an upgrade. Yeah, the camera is amazing but I barely use them. The screen is really nice and it is pretty quick though.
I'm keeping it but there are a few things I wish were changed, mostly small annoyances like having to swipe to unlock the phone after clicking a notification or the swipe to unlock message altogether.

How do you disable fast dormancy?

My carrier is 3UK.

Go to dialer, and push in: 277634#*#
Then find fast dormancy and disable.

I'm really on the fence. I've been waiting for the G4 for a while, but discovered at the last minute that Best Buy didn't offer the leather cases for Verizon. I bought the gray one anyhow ($100 gift card), THEN discovered that Verizon had removed several software features such as Themes and Smart Settings. Finally, I was originally concerned about the size of the phone, since I felt that the G3 was the maximum size I would want. The G4 isn't much longer, but it is wider (so wide that it doesn't fit into my car clip). It didn't seem that big in the store, but once I put a case on it, it seemed to fall into the "phablet" category. Throw in a battery life that's not as impressive as advertised, and buyer's remorse starts creeping in.
It's a nice phone, but it's not that much of an improvement over my G3 to completely win me over. I'll give it another week and a half, but at this point I doubt I'll keep it.

Oneplus Two Overrated.....

Yay?... Nay?
I must say yes..
TRASH antutu score. We get that same score RIGHT NOW on the oneplus one.
The Samsung button makes the phone super ugly.
The 810 overheats.
The phone is 10mm thick.
I'm going to have to say no thank you. Huawei, Zuk, Elephone, Umi, & others are creating great phones at prices that make upgrading from a oneplus one to the oneplus 2 useless. Don't fall for the hype guys.

I think its a decent phone, a nice improvement with the move to a more 'premium' build along with what appears to be a better camera, bigger battery, more ram/faster processor. I havent seen any mention of OP2's 810 overheating yet, I think some have mentioned the phone warming up a bit (like most phones) when running a benchmark or gaming, but it doesnt seem to impact performance. The biggest issues I have seen are with the Sony Z3+/Z4 which was overheating badly and had the camera crashing.
I dont worry about benchmarks much as its the real world usage that matters most. Overall I like the look of the design, I like that the finger print scanner is capacitive rather than a 'clicky', one less moving part to worry about.
But I definitely think you're right with the competition, a lot of chinese companies are stepping up with premium builds, top features like big batteries, quick charging, 5.1.1 out of the box, 64bit chips, sd card slots, etc,etc, all for a decent price. Just look at the Zenfone 2, very good value for money.

I don't like the oneplus 2 because of the hype. Essentially its just another Chinese phone like Zopo, Mlais, etc.. As you said, there are hella Chinese & Indian manufacturers who have way better builds and even better specs than the ONEPLUS 2. However, they go unnoticed because they don't have promotional funding from OPPO(Yes OPPO).
The Ulefone Be Touch 2 has a fingerprint scanner & a build that is much better than the ONEPLUS 2 IMHO.

Yea it looks pretty decent although I've seen people on XDA saying the battery life was pretty poor. Another thing with some of these brands is the software support, I'd be concerned how much you would get at the rate these companies churn devices out. At least with the OPO and OP2 (if you like or dislike oxygen) they are committed to providing updates (just dont mention the timing!). But you're totally right Oneplus has built a foundation around the online marketing/hype, which none of the other companies have.
This looks like it could be decent as well if its priced right

That X10 looks dope! Never seen that one before. These phones are coming out fast as hell and are only getting better. Some are even putting out source to their devices (Elephone). That's why I'm going to have to pass on the OP2.

Yea they're really pumping them out this year. For a while they all seemed to be churning out cheap and nasty 4.4 devices but they've really upped their game in terms of the hardware and software. Theres definitely more choice than ever which is only a good thing.

Everyone likes to conform I see....

There are similar threads in the OnePlus Two section. You could join one of those discussions. But this is off topic for this section.

M8 improved upon...

Still don't think the m8's looks have been surpassed. Definitely not by m9 and, from what I've seen, not by the a9 either.
Specs don't, to me, seem significantly better either. No front facing speakers, only 2gb of ram, for UK.

Is it a question ? Open it in the Q&A section next time

No, a, GENERAL, observation re. the m8.

Granted the title and the questioning emoji don't help. However it's basically a general discussion. Not quite on the A9, but the M8 in general.
HTC is literally on a last ditch effort at this point in their history. Where the future will end up with them being bought out, closing shop or hopefully getting back on their feet and becoming a well received icon again.
The M8 is a pretty well designed device, granted it has it's downsides that everyone has their own opinions on. The M9 is its own beauty, but I've stuck with the M8 because it's still a capable device and better looking. With the A9 sure its design language HTC had well before the Iphone 6. However a device as well received and common like an iPhone it will be a copycat to the general public. We can all make our statements against calling HTC copycats, but at this point it's a label that will stick.
I would like to see their next flagship be something to wow us all. A design that is HTC. If they attempt to improve on the M8/9 design again which isn't entirely a bad thing, but a new fresh look would be nicer. The M8 has been the longest daily driver I've kept in a long time. I normally go for their new flagships, but the tides might be changing. Once my M8 gives its last breath if the common trend continues I'll regrettably be moving away from HTC.
For the love of all things not the iPhone. I sure hope not

Then change your title as it has question marks all over it !

I still love my M8 and dont feel the need to upgrade really. It has great looks, great performance... The only thing I miss is the battery life I used to have when we were on Kitkat. Also, there seems to be an occacional lag that only goes away when you clean recent apps...seems to me that HTC rushed the Lollipop update, I hope they fix these issues with the Marshmallow update.
Regarding the M9 I find it hard to believe they will be able to acomplish the 15 days after Nexus window for updates since it still has Sense skin, but time will tell.

Ah yes a question it is......reported to be moved to the Q&A

I bought the m8 after I decided not to buy the m9.
I certainly hope HTC and come out with something awesome once again. I remember really liking the concept drawings of the m9 before the m9 was announced, and those looked amazing. If only HTC would take a hint from those designs...
I really wanted to buy the m9, but it was just not worth it when it first came out.

Using the M8s (as couldn't get M8) along with the P8 and more less shifting towards the P8. As die hard htc fan never thought I will end up with Huawei device. They support is much better and P8 is an excellent device, bar battery life, but it does a full day with some 35% around 6pm still available. I'll skip the M9/A9 and wait for the M10. If not happy then sticking with P8.

We are a little over two months away from the O6 if OnePlus sticks with their usual release schedule.
They just ran out of stock and it'd be too much money and time to continue replenishing stock for another 8 weeks

Lucky you you did not buy this phone, wait for One plus 6 , the same as one plus 5t but with a notch .

Why lucky... The Oneplus 5t is fantastic. You can always play the waiting game forever.

This is definitely not something I would call 'luckily", a 5T with a notch is not what I call beautiful.

Yep, hate "the notch". Not a little, a lot. I'd keep my money in my pocket for that reason alone. There is one other reason though, I've soured on the flagship phone drill. I have a Note 8 sitting in a drawer a few feet away. I stopped using it when they had the issue with OEM unlock going away and got this (5T) phone. What I found when I purchased this phone was that in some ways it's better, mostly it's a push, in some ways it's worse. That gets some clarity when you consider the pricing, this phone was just slightly more than half the price of that one and I in no way feeling like the better phone is in a drawer unused. If you ask me the truth is some people haven't figured out the flagship wars are over. Phones are becoming very good and performance is becoming an expected bottom line. Just to be clear, I'm not the only one that thinks this, the OEM's themselves are trying to get people hooked on ecosystems because performance is becoming a non issue. People expect their phone to be fast and work without issue no matter the price point making it hard to sell hardware, you have to sell the software and ecosystem.
Summation... I have bought one, two, sometimes three flagships a year since before android came out. Yeah, I came from windows mobile where the action was in the old days. Android upped the ante and I jumped on day one. I've got money to burn being old and having my retirement in the bank. I could keep right on buying several phones a year but I'm seeing little point. I never wait for anything on the phone now and the only way I can prove this phone is faster than the last one is if I run benchmarks. I'm off the treadmill and I've been thinking of doing it for a couple phones now but the 5T versus Note 8 comparison is what made it happen. There isn't much point anymore in throwing money at phones, I can always buy 500 dollar bottles of wine if I feel like burning money to no particular end at and least doing that will net me a hangover. The 6T having a notch is all I need to know, I throw my money elsewhere whenever something comes out which actually looks like an upgrade.

I think the notch looks nice to be honest. Can't wait for the OnePlus 6

I'm thinking about buying 5T. Pixel 2 doesn't seem like a good value compared to 5T, and Pixel gen 1 is a year older than OP5T at around the same price.
One major downside about the 5T is no project treble. From my understanding this means it won't be upgraded to Android P (because then they'd be mandated to implement treble.) Given the release date, it's sort of like OP5T purposely shipped with Nougat so they can claim it received at least one major update.
But like I said, for the money it's probably the best value right now. I'm interested in hearing what you guys think, particularly in regards to development and overall performance/stability of custom roms.
Without project treble do you think there's enough interest in this device to keep the Devs hanging around a couple of years?
I've gone through 3 phones in 3 years and would ideally like to keep my next phone for awhile. Thanks

guys if the only difference is the notch and 845 is it really worth the upgrade?
i mean P20 has a 40 MP RGB camera which will release next month, i love my 5T, the smoothest experience ive ever had period.
the camera is a let down and from what ive seen its been a let down for a while - i have the mate 10 pro before my 5T and the M10P had amazing cameras,with an overwhelming amount of modes to choose from, almost DSLR like.
i think its too early to decide, but if the only difference is the notch, and SD845 and a somewhat improved camera then i think i may jump on the P20 next as i take quiet a few pictures throughout the day. but its too early without all the specs available (memory / ram / sensor type and size / etc)
oneplus has left an impression on me, one that no other phone has before - but i think their camera game needs a massive re-haul, huawei got lucky with their Leica partnership.

Heyyy everyone. I was just going to buy Oneplus 5t but now I am a bit skeptical to buy it looking at comments regarding its camera performance. I have owned a oneplus 3 and never heard such bad things about it's camera, but oneplus 5t is not the same. Anyway does anyone of you have an idea about honor view 10 ? Have kept it as an option. I can't wait for oneplus 6 to launch as I need a phone on urgent basis

Yup, the 6 will have a notch...

...and apparently a chin on the bottom bezel. I'm glad I have a 5T.
