  • When we be able to get new Touchwiz available on S6? :(

  • When we be able to get new Touchwiz available on S6? :(

  • That means 1.6 Gb. The rest is is used by the system. There is no problem with this at all.

  • thats because of the android OS, same goes with a desktop PC running Windows, you have for example 4gb RAM but 3.89gb RAM are usable. BTW 4gb ram is 4096 and 2gb ram is 2048

  • The RAM on my device is shown as 1702MB instead of 2 GB. I even tried a number of third party apps like phoneinfo and cpuz but I still get the same figure. Other than RAM, all other specs are shown as they should be.

  • This model is better than s5 normal.in performance i still using 4.4.4 from december purchased im still using original battery chargin fast. Heavy use phone last 6 or 5 hour battery and normal 1 day . Cant last longer display is large cpu ram they need battery to operate. Also do not keep open apps in backround . For me is super phone .. no problem till now.. if you have any question let me know

  • dear i m having this phone about 6-7 months antutu score 53000. definitely a beast in terms of performance. heavy use battery goes 100 to 0 % in (3 hrs calling/sms+3hrs wifi usage on google chrome+using a 3g/2g network on weak signal area+4 hrs total screen remain on. while this no power saving/ultra power saving turned on and running android 5.0.2) overall after updating to 5.0.2 battery time decreased by 20 to 25% it was better on android kitkat 4.4.4. with orignal charger it takes 2 and half hrs to charge 0 to 100% never hang or restarted very good camera screen beightness in sunlight.

  • My phone displayed 'BInary bit Kernel'. What should I do?

  • can anyone tell me informations about its battery? how long does it last (normal use and heavy use), what`s it`s life time and so on... i intend to buy this phone (or other) these days so i could really use (and apreciate) a overall review (strenghts and weaknesess) from someone who used this phone for a few months or even a year. thank you in advance.

  • can anyone tell me details about its battery? how long it last and any other usefull informations. also i could use a overall review from someone who had and used this phone for a couple of mounth or even a year. thank you in advance.

  • How to upgrade s5 Kit Kat to lolipop???? please tell me

  • Hey, that's a update bug. The best thing to do is take a backup at Samsung kies 3 (the lastest version) delete the phone (Hardreset) Hold the power button, home button and volume up i believe. After you've deleted the phone just transfer the backup back to the phone. Done in half an hour approx

  • flash the 4.4.4 back over it

  • f is from europe

  • After updating my s5 4g + to lollipop 5.02, everyday I must reboot my phone, as it will drop calls (incoming and outgoing) Am very frustrated after the update, should have just stayed on 4.4.4

  • It's actually the fastest phone available.

  • Cheap plastic rubbish software claims latest chips one of the slowest devices out there

  • Where did you get it?

  • Slow when you touch the call button

  • good

  • after seeing at its specification i would prefer gionee elife e7 instead of this,i already bought that phone since being a gamer i would by the elife e7

  • does this phone have FM Radio !!!

  • Much better for this model is only 3GB RAM

  • Does anyone have any information about this actually having been released outside of Singapore or does anyone have a European release date?

  • In posesion of an I phone 5 but unhappy with the quality of the pictures. Not good at all. Telephone is to small for using it for writing e-mails. But i never had any problems with it and it works fine al ways. I want to buy a new phone. I need a big phone for easy writing emails and witch makes good quality pictures. I already am using a I phone 5 and Mac book air notenbook. Should i buy I phone 6 or Samsung S5? I heared Samsung S5 is not working good together with a Mac book air notebook. Any sugestions? greetings Natalie

  • it's all about future proofing ur device. The software itself took half - sometimes more - of it's memory to run.

  • so expinsiv

  • WOW, offer?

  • they are so costly but tikau

  • Where did you get it?

  • Why dont you like samsung phones

  • I waiting for next model...camera (Dual tone) 2x Led flash!!!.

  • It's actually 4.4.4, I got it without software update, it's already 4.4.4.

  • Next iPhone 6 is: Camera,dual-LED (in dual Tone) Flash!!!. Wake up Samsung,this is feedback!!!.

  • worst one i have never liked samsung phone

  • That phone is quite goood, my favourite one.

  • You might not but others do. If it gets 3GB RAM then it'll be a great upgrade. If not then meh...

  • because you don't need more than 2? playing subway surfers doesn't need 3 :v

  • Wats better - LTE-A 300 Mbps + 2 GB RAM , -OR- LTE 150 Mbps + 4 GB RAM ?

  • The Korean version LTE-A G906S was already launched. This is a European version.

  • And why the hell they still have 2gigs of RAM onboard..

  • It is for rest of the world or at least Europe. If you click on phone manual it will take you to Samsung Ireland website.

  • LTE-A G906 S is already out for South Korea.

  • Only for korea, not for rest of the world!!!

  • This is the best phone in 2014 so far. This fixes the the 2K performance lag of it's South Korean counterpart. The FHD screen should make benchmarks higher and battery life longer.

  • Wonderful Specifications IPS waterProof USB 3.0 mini fingerPrint Andreo 420 kairt 450 waiting for Battery, it should be no less than 3500mah well done samsung waiting for price and should not exceed $800

  • another s5?
