Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A G906S - User Reviews

  • install twrp and flash lineage os 16

  • i have 2 issues in s5 when i dial 111 mobilink call it Shows its Emergency call and next i can not send massage if exceed 160 + words???? if someone have the solution plz help me

  • how can i update the software?

  • After updating my S5 sm-g906s sound problems during phone calls appeared. After a few seconds of a call I can not hear my interlocutor but he hears me normally. This problem does not arise when I use viber or missenger. I noticed that colleagues who have the same models (bought in Korea) have the same problem.

  • Hi, do you think this phone will be useable in the UK now? on EE with the three bandwidths it supports: 3/7/20 (or 800/1800/2600). i'm new to this bandwidth frequency discussion so i have no idea if it will be useable or not. but i like the phone and can expand the memory which is great.

  • Broke my Galaxy S5 LTE-A (906S) Screen. Will international version S5 screen and touch work on it? Yes, I know the two screens are different but I am unable to find the original S5 LTE-A screen in my local market. Also, I wonder if Galaxy S6 screen and touch fit S5 LTE-A? Both seem to have same specs as far as display is concerned.

  • What a shame they never released this with EU GSM bands - I had one, but couldn't live with the limited (near zero) 3G and 4G support in the UK. This was a truly fantastic compact, fully featured smartphone... and with Mokee/Cyanogenmod/LineageOS it was faster than a S7! Sadly this was the last 5" flagship that Samsung did, it's all been powerful phablets or stripped budget phones since this one...

  • I prefer LTE-A variant of Galaxy S5 over the Galaxy S6

  • Donot update your phone..factory version of android is best always..install original androvid version of kitkat and battery issue will solved itself..

  • Yes. You can register 2 fingerprints (I did index finger on each hand so I can unlock it with either hand).

  • S5 Front facing cam takes blurry images BUT you can fix it. use " mirror " app it's really better.... color is more vibrant.

  • Ask Samsung

  • How can i register my fingerprint in order me to use it like security lock

  • Based on samsung,its better to have a screen with more pixels than less.If you dont believe,go try use a 40" tv with 480×800 resolution.That solves the problem dear.

  • I think it came with an android kit Kat

  • hi Dhejo.. we have same unit. I used Lineage OS (Nougat)

  • The phone overall a hit but it really lags in battery backups! Been using new battery for more than 3months and it still drains too fast! Samsung should have​ used battery optimization in marshmello.. Just because of the battery drainage the phone is useless now

  • what OS did the s5 became crappier?

  • I own this. Updated OS to marshmallow and now camera is way crappier than before. Front facing cam takes blurry images and rear cam takes grainy images. I hardly take pictures with my phone so it's not a problem for me. Just thought you should know. Apart from that, phone is cool for a daily driver

  • Adreno 420 is for graphics s2pid! amoled is the one providing pixels stupid!

  • it's mediocre. frankly said. it gives decent image though.

  • Larger Pixels = Better Quality image More Pixels = More Noise, Probably worse image Quality you dont know anything about image quality

  • yes

  • How is front cam i checked it but it makes blurry pix with distortions. Speakers are also not clear low. Your feedback?

  • goodman, you are wrong. larger pixels = worse picture MORE pixels = better picture

  • is it better than note 3

  • yes updated to marshmallow 6.0.. works smoother

  • S5 g906s is best

  • Picture is made of pixels. Larger pixels means good quality picture.

  • what about battery timing

  • How about its usage? Is everyone satisfied?

  • it's mean your S5 boot loader protected

  • This is the highest series of s5.

  • I've never use video calls but some times 3g signals get disturbed i have to turn data on & off.....

  • who is the best s5 orignel vs s5 g906s plz reply

  • I''m guessing that u r Sri Lankan.. I have bought mine 4 months back.. Nothing wrong.. Recently I have found out that I can't make video calls.. Not from Watsapp or Viber like apps.. From the phone's builtin video calling function. I would like to know that if that function works on your phone and the name of the network provider Thanks bro..

  • Bought today wow updated to marshmallow awsome phone

  • How is the front camera? I want to buy this..

  • Hello Everyone, Can anybody tell me how can I upgrade this S5(g906s) from Lollypop to Marshmellow?...

  • Omg get the s5 prime i didnt know they had better s5 versions i would get s5 prime over s6 edge

  • I also experienced it, please tell me why? thanks..

  • But then S6 would need to has performance of s7...

  • yes conference call are available in this phone. While your call received please follow top right side. you can see a top to bottom three dot. Press here. then you get all option here. thanks

  • Can anyone please tell me why "Conference Call" option not available in this phone???

  • Samsung should have released this model as the standard S5.

  • Have you tried to flash MoKee Rom on our device? I tried it many times but after flashing my device my fones get bootloop. Help me please to figure it out. Thanks. By the way, im in latest 6.0.1 stock rom. G906S.

  • Is there a way to debloat it and localize it to intl. version?

  • G906's FHD Resolution doesn't affect the battery performance.

  • The camera is sensational and still rivals flagship phones today. I have no issue using this phone for another 12 months at least and I've had it for nearly 2 yrs now. Just so you know i normally upgrade my phones every 12 months but i havent found a device that would be an upgrade yet.

  • Sorry forgot to add Yes totally safe to do all firmware and security updates on this phone and use in Australia. Either directly over mobile networks OTA or through Samsung Kies3 or SmartSwitch on your PC

  • I can get up to 3.5 hours Sot out of a full charge and still have about 10%. With normal everyday use and I'm a heavy user with gps etc turned on all the time i get between 2.5-3 hours Sot. I leave my brightness on auto but am outside alot. It uses a different cpu/gpu to the normal S5 which must help to run the better screen as my nephew has a G900l and i get better battery life with similar usage

  • I've been using this phone in Australia since Feb 2015 and i feel no need to upgrade to a newer Galaxy any time soon. Absolute beast of a phone. In real world use absolutely smashes many newer flagships. It's that good a phone i just brought my mother one a month ago

  • No way, bro. It has better capability of power management and I think the both versions of Galaxy S5 has the same power consumption level. Now with the upgrade to Android 6. The phone goes smoother and achieves more than 66K in Antutu Benchmark.

  • To EVERYONE: One thing I have been baffled about with this G906S is...the fact that it has a QHD screen and uses the same 2800mAh battery as the regular S5, doesn't it drain more battery power than the regular S5 with FHD screen?

  • You go to sitting Manu then choose the more net work . You will fined there any things.

  • Please guide us step by step... I have the same problem too

  • yes

  • Hello, is it safe to update if I bought the phone for AU network?

  • Just unlock the country code

  • How's the camera?

  • Hi guyz...is it just me or is the front camera reallllllllllllllyyyyyyyy CRAPPY?

  • Sahil this phone is superb & there r no problems like speakers or there should be a some fault like falling down or water damage other than there r no problems

  • Is this korean? Or other?

  • Recently bought this mobile phone is superb but I have to on loud speaker while listening the calls I can't either hear the voice of caller nor the caller can listen me unless I have to put the speaker on... Plz some one let me solve this problem

  • Where did you get it

  • Where did you get it

  • I am bangladesh.. i am using s5 lte g906k.. in this set ussd codes of local mobile network do not run.. it is great problem for me.. if anybody has solution kindly suggest me what to do...

  • Best phone I've ever had.... Way better than normal S5 and I personally would rate it better than S6. Fast and reliable... weatherproof and even more so with a Lifeproof case. Just updated to Marshmallow (Android 6.0).

  • Very Nice Phone :) Just Use It...

  • i have used g906 , it is way far better than the original samsung. don't worry just use the phone bro :-)

  • Root or use 3rd party application or use hang-outs

  • Which one is better regular S5 or G906S Please Advise me . With experience ....

  • Hi guys, did anyone know how to disable S5 prime sms limiter?

  • I have the G906s and it upgraded to Marshmallow two weeks or so ago. This upgrade fixed the wifi battery drain issue I had and the battery life is fantastic now.

  • Yes, Ultra Power Saving mode is available on the G906S.

  • Is the "Ultra power saving mode" is awelable for samsung s5 prime LTE-A G906S Thanks

  • is the "ultra power saving mode" is awelable in samsung s5 lte 906s

  • yes

  • hi guys, i receive my Marshmallow update yesterday on my S5 lte-A G906K and i do it. After installing, everything seems to work fine but i didn't find the Network Mode menu

  • same battery as standard s5 i have the lte-a

  • Hi Kindly advise. Does the Samsung Galaxy S5-Prime SM-G906 uses the same battery as the Samsung Galaxy S5? Thank you in advance...

  • S5 prime upgradeable to marshmallow or not ?

  • Samsung s5 or this s5 prime it makes me confuse cause the s5 prime is Korean

  • When lounch marshmallow for g906s?

  • The edge is not available in g906l I also use g906l but it's haven't edge only G..3G and LTE

  • Flash Radeonmaya ROM for your phone. Perfect Note 4 ported firmware for the 906 to enhance its 2K screen

  • I'm using an S7 edge with this S5 906S here. Its signal strength is better than my S7E.

  • This is the stupid thought of you. The S5 Prime has 2G/3G/ AND 2G-3G-LTEauto connect network modes separately. You can say this one is a perfect international phone. With the screen of S6, body shape of S5, middle hardwares between S5 and S6. Perfecto !

  • I'm not familiar with the camera but what's the advantage of having larger megapixel? Thank you.

  • You should try *#0011#

  • hello i think thes s5 ltea is better than the s6 why?.......... s5 s6 removable battery not removable micro sd solt no micro sd ip certified 67 RIP s6 hhh lol snapdragon805 octa cor exynos7400 (littel big diffrence but the s6 should be bette ) 3GB ram 3GB ram adreno420 mali (not much diffrece) dsiplay quad hd 577 ppi display quad hd577ppi autonomy battery 2800 ma 25000 ma the disigne of s6 is better than the s5 because s6ismade from the glass and s5 from plastic howver is not big dill it stay a smartphone and i will get one soon hop i help yo choise and sorry for my bad eglish

  • Better then regular s5...

  • Is the quality of the camera the same with the regular S5?

  • How to connect 4g in samsung s5 lte A

  • So this phone will NOT get 4G LTE on T-Mobile due to the lack of a 1700 band...is that correct? If so: damn. I did so much research and then only found this out after ordering this model. I guess I will have to cope with 3G max, even after all that reading and studying up I did :(

  • Plzzz help me in buying this phone, i planned to buy galaxy s5 (regular) or s5LTE-A G906L, i inclined towards LTE model. I want to know is there any issue in this model?? which one is better and why?? And how to know the phone is original?? Really there's no option for Edge in LTE - A models? PLZZ HURRY UP, I HAVE NO MORE TIME TO CHOOSE ONE. (from Pakistan)

  • I got this phone september. I must say it is quite a good machine. With the update to lollipop 5.0.1 it consumes more 300Mb of RAM (of 3GB) than the previous android. The screen is amazing. You can record videos in Ultra 4K (large memory SD card advised). This phone should have been the regular international S5. I am very pleased with it. For those who live outside South Korea, you can get one through social networks or commercial websites. It is quite easy and safe!

  • Yes it is for Korean market only

  • Just compare them on website gsmarena.com (then you will see the big different) The spec of SM G906 (S5 for Korean market only) nearly the same as Samsung Galaxy S6

  • It is the best phone in 2015 I think. S6 has no memory card slot. If we record with UHD video then we need free space. In front camera 2 MP is enough I think. Because with front camera we take selfie shot of our face. So 5 MP is not so much important. Besides without sensors' position S5 and S6 look same. If S6 looks different noticeably, I will say S6 is good enough.

  • Wow, is this device exclusive for Korea?

  • Yes..when u will connect the samsung kies software on ur pc it will get auto update lollipop..

  • Hi Guys from Greece..I have S5 g906s and i want enable bands edge(E)Here in Greece we dont have it! Only GSM(G)!!!You have bands edge(e)?is disable?

  • Please add: Also known as Galaxy S5 Prime

  • Will it get a lollipop update?

  • Can any one tell when launch os 5.1.1 or os 6 on galaxy s5 prime ???

  • any other problems besides on your list? Thanks :)

  • 1. Korean language in download mode. 2. Low/poor battery life. 3. Cheap material quality as compared to. S5 (regular)

  • what are the common problems of S5 G906S? list down the common problems...........thanks :))

  • It can be switched to 2g/3g/4g/auto connect

  • Please guys I really do need your help on this.I want to buy this phone and I leave in Nigeria and I wanna know if this phone can be switched to 2G gsm (edge) only and 3G only,I don't really care about the LTE for now cause LTE is not in most part of Nigeria, please I really want replies immediately

  • No models are shown, but I'm sure that the S5 G900's will be the first one to get the marshmallow 6.0 not the G906S/K .They should be specific on models of smartphone, cause' many smartphones have many models. is there any problems that you've experienced or encounter on the G906S/K?.........BTW, thanks for the link :)

  • Mine is still 5.0.1, I updated it OTA(over-the-air). Lower models, G900, are at 5.1.1 now. I don't know why we're left out at 5.0.1 even though we're the newer ones. here's the link to the news on the marshmallow update

  • what is your android os in your S5 G906K? let me know if the G906 can update to marshmallow or android 6.0 (even though its not released yet but the nexus will be the first) cause I cant find any information about official release for G906S/k......

  • I bought my refurbished S5 G906K last May coz I got tired of waiting for Asus zenfone 2 and I'm glad I did. It's a little over US$300 but it had a lot of freebies like tempered glass protector, extra battery and battery dock charger. It's kicking the butts of newer smartphones like LG G4 and Zenfone 2 in the antutu so I think it will take a long time before I buy another phone.

  • what about the G906S' android os? can the G906S upgrade to Marshmallow when the 6.0 has released? I know that the G900I has an official announcement, but the G906S......

  • of corz G906 is lovely

  • hey bro i have G900 H (s5) with 2 gb Ram g 906 is perfect phone 3Gb ram and more functions

  • G906S is better it has a different back case with LTE-A SM printed on it. It has a better display and better cpu and gpu.

  • how do you know if the Galaxy S5 is G906S ?? is there any physical differences on G900F and G906S?? and which is better, G906S or G900F? Why?

  • PlZ any one tell me how can i fix my sms proble thats covert to sms after 160 alphabets..

  • I am from bangladesh... my phone has acute heat issue.! is it normal?....when I can get android 5.1.1.... please anyone ans

  • The border of the S5 LTE-A is gold as opposed to the others which are silver.

  • how do you know if the galaxy s5 is G906F ?? what are the physical differences on G905F ,G901F and G900F??

  • Go to shop and buy a lollipop and place it on your mobile it and now its called lollipop.

  • The phone contain 3G and 4G antenna only.No 2G.

  • Because of 2G missing in your phone.Same like mine,when you lost 3G or 4G network and you are under 2G antenna signal you can not hear the other person who you speak with. This phone is ONLY for Korea because them have only 4G network.(Lte).

  • No

  • purchased a galaxy s5 LTE4 japanese version & hotspot/tethering dod not work. Thinking of purchasing the LTE4-A model but concerned I will have same problem. can anyone confirm wifi hotspot & tethering work in australia?

  • same goes for me, have you found any solution to it. as i've search through internet 'n there were some suggestions that we can flash some other camera firmware for the front facing camera but im not sure whether it will work, guys having same problem please post new finding or walk around for the problem, and ill try to do the same. thanks

  • is there a way to solve the absence of sim toolkit

  • no STK / SIM Toolkit menu for this phone ?

  • korean s5?

  • yes, cause there's also a fake one in the market today that is for sale, just be sure you'll buy the original one because mine has a 577 ipp same as s6 ultra HD video or 4k and I compared it to other s5 you can see its difference.

  • does s5 4g lte is better than samung galaxy s5 normal one??

  • maybe its just a clone because the original its very good in terms of speed

  • Your front speaker have problem. The one above the Samsung logo. Thats where sound come from when you receive a call but you hear nothing. Try factory reset and if problem persist, send your phone to Samsung centre. Your warranty is still valid.

  • try it ot read in window 7 or windows 8

  • I can't access the mass storage whenever I connect it to my computer. I can charge it using a USB cable but not access the storage. Can you guys help me out??? what should I do with it?

  • That is a Network issue, I dont think its a fault of the phone. Complain to your network provider or get a new 4G sim card.

  • Will this phone get the Android 5.0 Lollipop Update any time soon, as the S5 basic has got the Lollipop 5.0 update already? This phone is well equipped to get the update. GSM Arena could you'll contact the Korean networks and find out? since this phone was released to Korean networks only, according to my knowledge.

  • in version 5.0.1, where can i find network mode?

  • is this phone good

  • I got updates via kies by connecting it too my lapi

  • Yeah its awesome i too have the same variant.

  • Guys I bought this phone since January.I have a problem.From time to time when I am talking to someone on this phone, I can not hear any voice while the other person hears mine.I dont know whats wrong.The problem is this issue does not happen always.It happens like every 5 or 10 calls

  • it is awesome phone it beats all phones including note 4 in bench-marking and performance and after updating to lollipop battery improved more ,best phone , first ever phone using more than two months :)

  • Please gsmarena show check quliaty of camera, and battery test for this S5 model

  • Bought mine since August and no issues at all apart from the heating which seems to be coming from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805. In conclusion, I think you bought a defective phone dude.

  • I got this phone in July 2014 in South Africa. I am not impressed: 1. It freezes a lot 2. The heating freaks me out 3. The screen has gone for repairs 3 times already In conclusion, it has not been a better phone for me. i really liked it but was disappointed by it fragility and freezing. i have had to switch it off for at least 5 minutes before other applications like WhatsApp would work again. My old Sony Experia worked much better than this Samsung phone. yes the design is good but the functionality and durability is way below expectations

  • Seems that there's no update available for pakistan; actually the update is available only for these countries Norway, Poland, Spain and USA (Diácala >

  • You can get Lollipop over Samsung Kies or Odin.

  • how to get lollipop update in pakistan

  • You neec to download it either from the essential widget or you need to get an s health apk from the Internet ps this doesn't have group play either

  • this is not first one but the first one was sm-g901f (sgs5-plus) same specs note4 but ram 2gb screen 1080p it is for europe and singapore

  • its already on Lolipop 5.0 now

  • yes if the model supports it. 4g phone is not in some countries but all over Europe and US it is 4g all depends on the operator today but if you have a 4g version of S5 the chip is more powerful even on 3g which means better stronger signal

  • Mr.sanunpk if you uses NTC sim contact NTC office jawlakhel and they solve your problem

  • does it have conference call feature ,as previously i had bought one unlocked phone from japan and it didn't had con call feature and sms upto 160 character only i was not able to write big sms .

  • Does this phone supports 4G network. If yes, how was its performance in 4G network.

  • same was happened to me with s3 lte year ago I searched and found that efs folder inside system partition of my phone been deleted/modified which contains imei no as I rooted my phone and installed custom recovery and blindly done it without backing-up my efs folder. hence I went to near repair shop I they fixed it. If same is happened to you it needs a doctor treatment.

  • I bought one from Korea via EBAY, very impressed with it. Only issue I have is that SkyGo won't connect. Is this an issue with all S5 variants?

  • Go here

  • been using it for about a week, it's a good phone...but can someone post the method how to root this phone please?!

  • Glad it worked flawlessly for you mate :)

  • Did you purchased the unlocked one? If yes, then that might be the problem or if you did not then try to open the hidden menu by simply dialing *#0011# and you will see a button (in korea lang description) below the Service Mode info, click on it and you will be directed to another screen titled "Network Settings/1. Network..", here you will notice there are varieties of network bands in a list form, now click on 'Automatic' and see if that works.

  • I can confirm works flawlessly in Australia. Gets service in places ive had lots of both droid and apple phones have trouble

  • Best damn phone on the market today. Blows iphone6 out of the water on Paper and in my hand. Fast, intuitive, amazing.

  • My Glaxy S5 (SM-G906S) is not working in Network of Nepal what can I do for this ? Pls suggest me.. Sanunpk Nepal

  • I got mine!...amazing phone. love it. I like the Boost Download LTE + Wifi multi input multi output (MIMO) Awesome!

  • LTE-A

  • 255mb/s. Is cat6.

  • Using it I USA just fine. Your assertions are incorrect and unfounded.

  • Possibly not Cat6 300 Mbps. UE Capability does not have bandwidth class c. Check out G901F instead.

  • Yes, you are absolutely correct. I used mine on vodafone :)

  • So from what I gather, I will get 4G coverage on EE network in the UK fine from this awesome phone... am I correct? can anyone confirm that please, thank you. :)

  • SO it will be, that's good to hear.

  • Yes, but the problem when and how long? Hopefully it won't take long I guess.

  • Telstra mobile frequency bands according to an online source: 2G bands - 900MHz - 1800MHz 3G bands - 850MHz (B5) - 2100MHz (B1) 4G bands - 2100MHz (B1) - 1800MHz (B3) - 900MHz (B8) - 700MHz (B28) - 2600Mhz (B7) to follow in 2016 In conclusion, it should work on Telstra my friend :) and according to the specification wall, you'll see that most of the phones frequency falls inline with telstra frequency bands. If you want to purchase the phone make sure you buy the unlocked version.

  • Will this phone be on the list of samsung gadget that will be upgraded for lollipop?

  • Hi has anyone bought one and found it works in Australia? And will it work with Telstra?

  • you use the att roaming for your tmobile service?

  • Had this phone for a week now and love it . Camera is sharp, response is snappy. Can only connect to AT&T for LTE service. Will only connect to 3g with T-Mobile. Couldn't be happier.

  • It's not region blocked. Have it connected to AT&T. Full 4G LTE. Stateside no LTE-A

  • Hmmm ! i like this 1 better than the G900F

  • Because Apple doesn't have FM radio

  • Too much competition with apple i guess..

  • I also wonder why Samsung doesn't include FM radio.

  • This is what the original S5 should of been from the start. Shame it isn't available in the UK.

  • we want available in indonesia

  • why south korea have always the upgrade version of ALL flagships and rest of the world NO? i wanna buy this S5 for sure :/

  • my problem is incoming call is mute from landline

  • Works on O2 as well my friend

  • I have this VERSION OF S5 LTE A G906S/SKT and Can Confirm that LTE 4G ONLY WORKS ON 3 AND EE it dont work on 800MHZ band, but the 3G works pefect and the battery lasts me a whole day ;-) 2 at most I think you can also get the LGU+ MODEL of S5, which is Suppost to work on 800mhz Band.

  • where r u from and bought it from where ???

  • You can get it on Ebay mate but make sure you are buying it from the right person.

  • I want mobile Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A G906S model I not see found empty in dubai shop ? Do you listen found dubai shop .

  • Put back fm radio Samsung. Stupid samsung. Is it too hard to put the fm radio?

  • may be lte not support,not sure

  • I think i want to buy lg g3 because of it screen but this s5 size is much better and it have 577ppi more than lg g3 that has 534ppi plus s805 chipset the best screen and chipset for this year i will buy it

  • Is the device region locked? That is can we Indians use it in india? Plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz plz reply me. It's urgent.

  • hahahaha

  • At the mall:)

  • Thanks Very Much guys! Contacted that ebay guy and he confirmed that it will only work on EE or Three.

  • What kind of speed are you getting on Three (4G) and EE (4G)? I was under the impression that Three 4G was running on LTE 800? Also according to the guy in the samsung shop the battery will drain quicker because its looking at bands that are not in the uk. Have you experienced higher battery drainage?

  • Yes im successfully using it atm in uk (3g on vodafone network). However, if you are planning on using 4G LTE, it currently works on EE and three not sure about 02 still but if you need more info i suggest you go on ebay and search for this seller 'supercosmos'. I'm not recommending you to buy from them but i think you'll get the right information about the phone network (3G and 4G LTE) availability before you make your choice.

  • Can anyone confirm that they have successfully used one of these in the UK please? So close to buying one from ebay as per the below, but want to make absolutely sure I'm going to be able to use it! Thanks

  • 3 gb of ram

  • What's the difference between this & the G906?

  • Go to ebay.com

  • Hey, im from Canada and I want to buy this phone, where can I get one of these?

  • I have it now... The best mobil in world.. But no arabic menu ... Only engish .. No root can put it

  • But I jes got an unlocked version of this phone couple of days ago from korean and its like holding a mini size version of the upcoming note 4. Loving it so far. ;-)

  • only for kore, not for rest of the world whose worthless for samsung.

  • really u're a joker

  • i like more iphone 6

  • Anyone know or use this phone in malaysia sim card or network?? thanks

  • Korean version bought in guam

  • I can only recommend this phone

  • Hi just wanna know where did u bought your s5 lte-a?

  • Guys, is it an Korean retail model, or international. Of course spex are better, then definitely results better.

  • Had this phone over an hour and the phone is way better than the regular s5. I would recommend this phone over the regular s5.

  • it is nice smartphone;i love it.

  • samsung phone may be good, customer service suck at case manager, i have a s5 with a major manufacture bug showing, "warning camera fail" on the first day of owning the phone, if you google "warning camera fail" you will see a list of phone reviver report, none from samsung, samsung is keeping very quiet, and after 3 month of to and fro email, phone call, going to samsung service center 6 times. they only offer repair or replace with a refurbish unit(repair old unit). think about this, you got a brand new phone, it has camera hardware failure almost instantly, send to samsung service plaza, you get back a refurbish repair used phone due to samsung manufacture fault,. i am still have this s5 manufacture bug phone. please pass this on to warn other if they still want tobuy samsung and may have to deal with a samsung phone failure, it just not worth the trouble, as they can't be bother about time, and really, they make you so angry that make you want to strangle them, they are just train to do that and make you give up getting what you deserve.

  • browse in the shade

  • i have buy thi phone. supported all language ,arabic english alll....

  • How Samsung thought that people are so mindless to by their phones without comparing the market for specification and prices of other brands?

  • i face heating problem while i browse, how to get rid of it.. please share ..

  • Where is camera dual tone Led-flash???.

  • I'm looking forward to purchasing this phone any time soon but its the unlocked version definitely. My concern is would work with any sim card despite the fact its a korean version (unlocked) and even if im in Africa?

  • this is the best smartphone in world I want it Please send it to Iran

  • is this mean that this phone dose not support any other language "English - Arabic" ?????????

  • this only for korea,but you can buy from ebay or amazon

  • Hi all..I really attractive with the specs which I think better than SM-G900 series,it really suits my daily task but wondering if this SM-G906S works in Malaysia? As long as I know it was made for Korean market..thanks.

  • love my Samsung S5.. very clear camera

  • Samsung. Where is DUAL-Led flash in camera??. =(

  • is this mobile come to asia or other part of the world or it's only for south korea???

  • It's the best phone..... I had an I-phone 4s, screen is great, call clarity is superb, was going to get G3, but, followed my instincts.... which are usually right. So happy with my new Galaxy S5. I think I made the right choice!

  • great phone than apple, I've been used apple and some application we should buy. most android applications is free.if you choose iphone just to play game, you'll never satisfied. better use pc lol or games console!

  • Butt note 4 will have bigger display and pen.

  • More people are going crazy because Samsung is made more variant in Galaxy S5. Please stop your selling technique.

  • These people are thieves dont buy ANYTHING From These people i asked for the iphone 5 i send my money they didnt send anything dont trust these people they are just trying to steal your money ..

  • No, you're pathetic. Why would you buy an expensive phone with midrange specs, when you can buy a better phone with high-end specs. Plus a removable battery and a memory card slot. The S5 LTE-A was made especially for Korea.

  • Apple Fanboy

  • When Samsung is coming something this m.gsmarena.com/nokia_lumia_930-review-1107.php design???.

  • Worst product ever....very expensive and does not work while you travel around the world. Though you have purchased a unlocked phone your network will be locked if you travel to different country. Better go and buy apple product which is almost same value as this and you will get better service. SAMSUNG IS PATHETIC PRODUCT AND SERVICE.

  • tell me if u ordered one ya.

  • Actually Sony might have better equalizer, but the s5 had louder and cleaner sound on headphones.

  • any news or rumours when it'll be in Malaysian market? cannot find it anywhere rite now..

  • any news or rumours when it'll be in Malaysian market? cannot find it anywhere rite now..

  • it's sm-g906s

  • The Samsung galaxy S5 also known as Samsung SM-G900F,SM-G900I or SM-G900K if I not mistaken..how bout this model? I really want to know coz I'm planning to get one..thanx.

  • s5 lte a and upcomming note 4 have same specifications...what tha hell is this samsung?????

  • Yes to all your questions.

  • This looks better and same (specks),what Samsung Galaxy S5 Lte-A doesnt are:

  • can i use this phone to control my tv ? and can i use 2 apps in the screen like s4 ? and the camera modes and like s4 ??

  • But you can order battery replacement. Saves space and no need to carry portable chargers.

  • Well if a person is looking for more speed, better screen quality & better signal then S5 LTE-A that has Snapdragon 805 is better choice.

  • Sony Z2 has Audio+ to enjoy music with better quality & some other enchantments you can enable to get better audio quality while playing videos + stamina mode turns of data when in standby, because 4G uses a lot of battery. Well Samsung has better screen quality but interface isn't as easy to use as it is on Sony. And if you look the specs then getting the new S5 LTE-A is better than S5 or Z2. Because phones with Snapdragon 805 have new architecture, so you would get better signal, support new video format h265, anti shake picture stabilization etc. and process things faster.

  • Sony Xperia Z is far better than this...

  • which one is better?? samsung galaxy s5 or sony xperia z2?? thanks for help

  • This or Nokia 3310?

  • When will it be available on dual sim??

  • hahahaha...Kiss your iPhone Good Bye! android is much better than ISO-UCK! ^^,) Just saying Guyz BUT TRUE!

  • m.gsmarena.com/camera_shootout-review-1104p2.php­

  • The power bomb. S5 LTE-A. goodbye APPLE.

  • What is the bomb?......

  • Bomb ....the Bomb is coming..!!

  • wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww 576 ppi!! bye bye htc one :)

  • i dont know if it works 100% on water

  • I have to G906K Limited model and AT&T LTE works perfectly. The screen is much brighter and easier to see in the sunlight. It's fast, especially underload. The battery life is pretty much on par with my Galaxy S5 Active as well. It seems the 3GB RAM helps tremendously. I have yet to have a single problem with the phone!

  • Want to unlock...

  • Will this phone work in Europe, any problem with connectivity?

  • Samsung's phones have become nothing but spec numbers, marketed to spec starved consumers. The actual performance isn't as good as you'd expect, though. If Samsung continues this trend for too long, it will risk it's position as the top android phone manufacturer.

  • Hello there! Is it korean?? Are the korean made hand sets sustainable for the users?? Or the Korean sets are more lasting than the original??

  • number 1

  • Come with android L....

  • update ur facebook app and the problem will be gone, that has nothing to do with "unlocking ur device" since you stared using other simcards than AT&Ts.

  • Will the 4G version work in India?

  • It's already popping up in grey markets in China for about $700 USD but prices will drop fast. Personally I avoid korean phones like the plague unless I'm actually using the phone in Korea because otherwise they just don't work as well as their international counterparts because of the Korean ROM, bloatware, and features which are useless unless on Korean networks. They have a shorter SMS limit than international standards and no EDGE data for those times you're out in the countryside and no 3G. And because there are slight differences in the hardware, you are unable to flash an international rom to a Korean phone (although modders can usually fix the SMS limit) Avoid.

  • Cngrads on the s5 yogi

  • What is the point for having QHD screen as it yield the same results with the FHD to the extend the humam eye could differentiate. The upgrade from 801 chip to 805 chip is commendable though. I saw the comparison between these 2 S5 and I couldnt recognise any extensive differerence

  • Preorder in Romania!

  • Hi, can somebody help me regarding my problem? I bought a locked samsung s5 in AT&T and unlocked it via code so that i can use other simcards. Problem is, there's this time that I really cant send message/comment/chat in Facebook but can send messages thru yahoo chat and google mail. I reset my phone once and the problem is fixed but all my photos and everything just got lost. Now i am experiencing this again. Is there any problem with it? Thank you

  • Then go to Korea and buy it there. Is that a problem? If there's a will, there's a way!

  • I watched the unboxing video from youtube... Absolutely.., It is the best ever smartphone .... wow wow wow I'm watching dreams now to own one... But it will be very hard bcoz it will available only in Korea....

  • Are you the expert to recommend those phones? Why would we believe you? You are nothing but the same person as everyone else. Don't act so smart.

  • if you having a trouble or problem on network data connection try this steps. go to APPS==>SETTINGS==>NETWORK CONNECTIONS==>MORE NETWORK==>MOBILE NETWORKS==>ACCESS POINT NAMES..you can see your data service provider, see to it that its turns green color on the right side. other option tap the 3 dots upper side and click RESET TO DEFAULT. Hope this could help you. Thanks..

  • If this phone be have also above fetures this phone be more good -64GB storage option -3200MAH battery....

  • Awesome mob...

  • Samsung makes phones with every hardware options those are must to be for me .. microsd slot, removable battery, and etc.... Users say that , sam not makes good ui softwares... Then what am I want to buy ?

  • Can any body tell me when this brand will be available internationally. Configuration is awesome. Though I'm using S5 32GB (Korea local) but even though would like to get one. E bay is asking too much.

  • Really good,but the problem is it comes with 2800 mAh battery.It have high resolution screen,but low capacity battery for its specs

  • sense6? sense 6 is different with others. sense 6 is the best UI I have ever seen and work with. sense6 = high speed,no lag,no bug and very soft.htc is basically different with other android. ites some thing between android and ios.if you like to choose,please choose between apple and htc or lumia series. I recommend you just these 3 and nothing more.

  • I don't know why most people underestimate touchwiz ui....? pls tell me someone... Absolutely there's not big difference between other uis like sense6, Xperia Z2 Ui.. But Why...????

  • Go to the right page, not here. This is the link in case you're lost: Many users will reply to your query there. See you there...

  • I guess this is the phone which I am waiting for long time. Superb specifications.

  • Try once again � go to Setting � Mobile Networks � Access Point Names (to set � APN name, APN and other required details which are providing your Network operator.

  • This phone is good but its a korean version which mean cheaper than international

  • i like phone, more good than iphone s5, what is your say?

  • Hey tcool how i know wheather my galaxy s5 octa core is refurbished or not ?????

  • Thnk u for reply, but my is already in (LTE/WCDMA/GSM)mode and my sim card is 3G network. I dont know how to solve this problem, I dont wont to give my phone for repair.

  • Then post your resentment to the Samsung Galaxy S5 (octa-core) page, not here, because your complaint it is not applicable to S5 LTE-A with Snapdragon 805 Quad core 2.5GHz Krait 450 Adreno 420! Go to this page in case you're lost:

  • Did you check it � Setting � More Networks � Mobile Networks (mobile data check) � Network mode (select) � (LTE/WCDMA/GSM). If you have 3G/4G network works better ...... go to 3/4G Plan as per your Network Provider.

  • Iam talking about g900h

  • Hi, I am using internet via Simcard. Mobile data icon in notification is ON but I cannot connect to internet. i need to restart my S5 ever day one time. i did hard reset/ factory reset but still same problem. kindly advise

  • real great cellphone by samsung great camera great features great ram memory i think number one mobile set in the world today

  • How come you are tired of this phone when it is not yet released??? And this is not Exynos Octa core, this is Snapdragon 805 Quad core 2.5GHz Krait 450 Adreno 420! Please read the specs before you judge.

  • Ok go for iPhone 5s and let's see if you reach 3 hours of battery life with continously playing your favorite games. Good luck.

  • my dream phone at the moment.

  • No bro ... iam tired from this phone every time i play games when the battery reaches 40 degree the game starts lagging .. not my phone only also many s5 octa core .. i dont think this is because not compatible these games with s5 .. my life fault is when i upgraded from s4 9500 to s5

  • You're like transferring to the hard floor from the soft bed. Good luck...

  • Why?

  • This is a great phone no doubt about it,but Samsung doesn't have a flagship phone.from galaxy to note series none of them are flagship phone. Because the previous s5 has become outdated. samung focus on business.

  • Yeah i agreed .. i sware i have s5 exynos and now after many s5 produced by samsung i feel like i hold a crap. I will go to iphone 5s now and my nick name will be 5s instead of s5 see u at apple links ..

  • non

  • Of course it will, because this is mobile phone business. What do you expect?

  • in my opinion, if Samsung continue to produce smartphone like this anymore for its flagship, consumer will begin to surfeited and try to look other Android, HTC for instance

  • this phone is great!! well atleast for now... if you buy this phone now/after 2-4 months the price will drop to almost 25%.. so better buy a galaxy s4. the specs are quite desame. Frank noh?

  • i like this phone, it is a better phone, nice quality phone, nice buttons the graphics is nice.

  • It's better to have a removable battery than non-removable.

  • Is this galaxy s5 prime or.....wait samsung must be foolish us

  • The battery life of the phones after a year is pathetic and in most cases would have to be replaced

  • Don't specify only this phone, all phones in general. It is advantage to have a removable battery.

  • well said, its battery is the major problem in this fon.

  • I know the weakest point of this phone its battery coz it will not last for heavy usage like playing hd games with data on.. The strong point its removable battery, for long term used u need to replace it just buy 5000 mA custom battery u will enjoy it, unlike 3200 mA non removable bat, i dont know how will u replace bat in case if u want..

  • can i wait for dual sim phone with same specs ?

  • Nothing personal, it's just business. Until now you don't know the mobile phone business strategy? Wahaha!

  • I'm using Note 3, I'm really fan of Samsung but last times some bad things happening with Samsung... So big resolution, so small battery! what was the guilt of previous S5 owners then you Samsung put this on market.

  • 2.5 ghz pro, 3h ram, amdreno 420 gpu, 571 ppi. Worth every penny to buy for i dont mind if this phone is expensive This is the real deal.. Sam ur really a beast..

  • It was your network provider, not the phone.

  • So true.I thought it was LG who had the best ppi with there LG G3, but not anymore.

  • support of bands on 2g (gsm) is poor network as well as 3g

  • They should make it support more bands on 2g (gsm) network as well as 3g to get higher sales

  • The beast xperia z2 kill this easily

  • Most people buy Samsung because they think they have something called smartphones

  • So don't assume that all people are working in a factory or company with the same rules and regulations as yours. And don't assume that all people need the built-in radio in a 4G/3G/LTE smartphones. Only few do. Majority don't need it. Radio streaming is still the best!

  • Wow. it is looks like greatest phone borne by the Samsung company, so far. High pixel density and 3GB RAM are defeat the Galaxy Note 3 specifications. But I think battery should more powerful. Camera flash light should more powerful like S4 or S3. I am waiting this phone in Asian market in Singapore, India, Sri Lanka.

  • It's your luck! :P

  • Don't assume that the rest of the companies in the world have the same rules and regulations as your factory. Our company provides free WiFi in office and free 4G WiFi in company shuttle bus services. Employees living in company accommodations also avail the benefits of free ADSL WiFi services. No restrictions to whatever gadget accessories the employees want to use in the office. Now that's what you call a "good employer".

  • King of phones of Samsung dynasty

  • The best pixel density ever!

  • most people not like to Samsung because sam devices compete and beat their phone brands..

  • Samsung Galaxy F still to come... SM G906s , SM G906L

  • Is this one made on China or Korea?

  • Also NOTE 4 will have great specs... But I want a small one like this one..Pls sam release this one or new galaxy f to enjoy every sam lovers...

  • love that Device cause its the Best

  • I don't think respectable company like Samsung can cheat customers and sale them Beta version. Beside that most countries going to switch to G4 as soon and samsung is the most saller smart phone if you like or not.

  • greatest phone of the year... dream phone ... pls release a international version with Least 3200mAh battery... but we can't get real openion without see a testing video..

  • Samsung, Pls upload a official introduction video for this one to watch us from youtube...

  • Yes... Your opinion is a good... Agree with u

  • Agreed!

  • With the device's audio output capable of stereo/surround to various equipment, what is the point of stereo speakers on the device itself? It's just going to be two of the same average sounding mobile phone speakers (this goes for all mobile phones). Every mobile phone on the market that has ever incorporated stereo speakers (e.g. HTC One M8) has not been anything special audio wise. It sounds slightly better than your typical mono speaker, but can't even come close to the richness of a dirt cheap, portable, bluetooth mono speaker. e.g. JAM Plus HX-P240GY Stereo speakers on a mobile phone are pointless. The end user's benefit is minimal at best. Are you going to rock a party with your mobile phone's speakers? No. Are all of the people around you going to marvel at your glorious, tinny sounding stereo system? Absolutely not. What do you get out of it?

  • this is a great phone, but when are we going to see STEREO sounds in samsung phones????????????

  • What a massive production by SAMSUNG.! SAM doesn't ready to be second to any other.. Can they realize dreams of customers with premium build quality.. However this is the best ever smartphone.. pls release a international version...There's some prob with battery life... But we can use a additional battery...

  • nice phone same as the old S5 apart from it's performance

  • Oh what a pity. In our office, the company provides free WiFi for all employees. And we are allowed to use smartphones and accessories. Don't assume that your company is the same as the rest of the other company in the whole world.

  • It is so small that you can put it in your pocket and it is not uncomfortable? My wired headset is not uncomfortable in my pocket. The problem with that Bluetooth headset is that we are not allowed to use that. I work on a factory.

  • Many people complaining? They are the same people using different user name and server. LOL! Only very few people use the built in FM radio.

  • LOL! I have a bluetooth headset which is smaller than the messy wired headset without the dangling wires and gives me more freedom to move around.

  • Where I am working there is no Wireless Connection(there is but it is locked :P), so we want Fm Radio then. The Internet Radio is better, but ONLY if you have a Wireless Connection am I right? You can see there are millions of people complaining about the same thing and you say I never learn. Anyway I like Samsung, I USE a Samsung right now, but they are wrong at not adding that basic stuff. Anyway the headset is not bigger than a wired headset? :P

  • Dumb thing to use a messy wired headset which is considered as another accessory for the radio to work. Stereo Bluetooth headset with built in radio is better, more convenient to bring and gives more freedom to move around than the messy wired headset.

  • Dumb thing is to buy LTE-A phone but don't have LTE/4G/3G network coverage or don't like to subscribe to LTE/4G/3G data. Another dumb thing is buying an expensive phone but cannot afford LTE/4G/3G unlimited data. LTE-A feature will be useless! Better get yourself a 2G phone with radio.

  • Me too, I cannot agree with you!

  • I can not agree with you.

  • Fentastic.........rise above sony z2.............samsung galaxy.

  • Don't worry, you can always trade old phones to new model. You just need to pay the usage fee for the old phone and deduct the remaining balance price value of the old phone to the price of the new model.

  • LOL! As if S5 LTE-A has different looks from first S5.

  • Hey bonjour.now old S5 user started satisfying themselves by stating this S5 going to release only in korea/antartica etc.old s5 was a big failure of samsung.samsung got no big buyer this time dats the reason price discount almost nearing half from the launch price.samsung lost their rank coz of the failure of old s5. samsung got no other way but only way to do hardware change to stabilise it and dey cant wait till note 4 or s6 launch- lead to market saturation.today i got info on s5 lte-a gonna occupy majority of the market soon including india as well.old production s5 production already on hold it seems and gonna replace by s5 lte-a. PS this s5 lte-a supports both cdma + gsm simcard with hspa. old s5 fans sorry to say till now you had a S5 BETA version for the huge amount and uglier version of s4.s5 lte-a is the powerful device evermade till date wit snapdragon 805, adreno 400 series, 3gbram....

  • poor old s5 fans

  • Dont worry folks this model is for korea only so only korean is disappointed who already buy S5 not others

  • This is the best samsung mobile, never seen such specs in any other phone, this is better than the original s5. PPI is 576 that us the highest for samsung or maybe the highest in comparison to the mobiles of all the companies. Andreno 420 again same case, at least till now I have seen very minimal mobiles with this. And there is even snapdragon 805 chipset.

  • Nothing can be added further in this device this device is simply awesome but the battery life should be more I think! 2880 mha isn't enough Overall this phone is the best flagship smartphone for now

  • According to the price the battery should be 4000 mAh

  • Why? Are you sure this will be released internationally?

  • so when the Snapdragon 805 postponed for the third quarter of this year, and it will be the strongest processor for this yea

  • Is dat dl speed 255?? LTE-A speeds upto 225 ryt..

  • One minute silence for those who purchased galaxy s5 old version.height of disappointment.Samsung just trolled themLOL.

  • Best one !!

  • but its a cdma what the .......

  • adreno diff too

  • Highly a good specification. Can't wait for the release.

  • All specs are the same, only 1GB of RAM difference. What is to be sad about that?

  • Common sense: Why would they buy LTE-A phone if they cannot use it's LTE-A functionality? That is dumb! Just buy a 2G phone with radio. Simple and cheaper.

  • 430 is in 810 ..... this is the 805.

  • i feel sad for the ppl who bought S5 lmaooooo

  • Just 2800MA battery? Not enough

  • adreno 430?

  • This is the best android phone ever made it in segment of performance and features, the design is something else everybody has different taste. This is real beast but haters gonna hate always!!!!

  • well this is samsung at doing what it does best. building the best phone in the world (i prefer the g3 but objectively this is better).

  • NO, NO man! There are people who wants Fm Radio, because you don't have a Wireless Connection everywhere! Why are you saying this?? It is NOT a big deal to add that basic feature. At least others are not that dumb. I like Samsung, but they are annoying sometimes.

  • Where is LTPS screen , beacuse every rummor talk new SG S5 contain LTPS + Super AMOLED screen

  • It's LTE-A, my goodness! Internet radio is better! You never learn...

  • No radio again. They don't listen.

  • I know, right? Very good processor and other specs except battery which might be a different one in reality. Too bad it has an ugly design.. M8 looks a lot better. Samsung should do only 3 devices per year. Hi-end, mid & low. Investing in so many crappy models is just a bad investment! They should hire a new marketing and design director ASAP! Thats why HTC rules samsung! They have good designers..

  • Where is LTPS screen for safe battery power

  • Now that was what S5 should have become. The original one was just a disappointment. Oh well, hope this one will still not be Korea-exclusive.

  • Finally! the Galaxy S5 did not have to go out into the market four months ago! but had to go out now! and with these specs!! (In other words, at least this was to be the standard Galaxy S5!) but at least, finally now that it came in the market, I say late congratulations to Samsung! (For this version of the Galaxy S5!)

  • i didnt like the previous s5 version but this one is completely changed and i will buy it as soon as it release

  • Finally! the Galaxy S5 did not have to go out into the market four months ago! but had to go out now! and with these specs!! (In other words, at least this was to be the standard Galaxy S5!) but at least now that it came in the market, I say late congratulations

  • I bought an s5...a week ago..i feel like crying...y i dnt waited...what the hell...samsung should be restricted to release a single flag ship in a year....by the government our to any one whom it may concern

  • I think now its enough.Design of the smartphone should be more concern and good battery backup.

  • Now its time to concern ,does a ppi of 570 is actually useful or it just exaust the battery backup and strech the grafics.

  • 2800mAh battery ^^ with QHD display and new snapdragon. Max 5 hours web browsing. Shame !!

  • ow yesssssssss this is d worldz most innovative phone eva wit 3gb-ram,lte-a,and android 4.4 it what spending a fortune for!

  • y samsung put same name on phones having different specification ???? come on!! y u copy everyone in the market, whoever does anything new samsung will copy asap.

  • best phone till date best cpu&gpu powerfull phone better than s5,Z2 htc one(m8) i think its also better than iphone 6 becoz only screen size is increasing i was using shitty iphone 5S please tell me release date in U.S

  • YES ! first phone tat powered by ADRENO 420 !

  • Samsung with the same mistake again and again. whats their problem with varieties of names and same product. "Customers confusion is our profession"

  • Stunning phone by samsung but they are releasing such phones 1 out of 1000 because other 999 are waste products and there just filling the market with the waste galaxy products

  • Wow look at those specs!!!!

  • the best phone ever

  • Better than the GS5......

  • yeah now coming original s5...but only for korea..lolzz
