Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus - User Reviews

  • 32gb

  • Have an option of a Samsung S5 plus 16GB or Samsung S5 32GB, which would you go for?

  • new update on this phone 20.09.2016

  • This is a great phone, I wish that I can have this kind of phone...can't wait!

  • Lukenstein: 19 May 2016 S5 plus SM-G901F romania primeste noul update 6.0?? Da, are update la 6.01 deja

  • Gabi, What network do you use?

  • Give it a search, i received the update yesterday (26.05.2016) and it works perfect. I also put the phone through an Antutu test and it got 73484 points :)

  • S5 plus SM-G901F romania primeste noul update 6.0??

  • 14 month old phone and the screen goes blank in middle of a text. Took in to be repaired and Samsung dealer they say its not repairable. Samsung has 12 month warrantee so refused to help in any way. This phone has never been dropped or abused in any way. Paid $1000.00 for this garbage phone. Never to buy Samsung again...... Going to try Huawie or Asus

  • comparing an s4 to an honor 7?? the s4 tech and the hardware itself would be more than 2 years old by then.. the s6 must have been out by the time to you bought your honor 7.. the honor 7 is a really nice looking phone and ofcourse it is free from touch wizz.. but lets just keep it at that and conclude u dont like samsung instead of comparing with something ancient (in tech years)..

  • s5 plus..you can see that s5 neo using mali t760 mp2 and plus is using adreno 420 which is one of the best gpu...and snapdragon is better than exynos...is smoother ...

  • Samsung s5 nice mobile phone

  • Its powerfull it's not a toy but is cheap plastic... Surely good for gaming but i would not buy Samsung anymore the have only good specs but they build really bad phones... And Amoled really sucks very fake colors and low sharpness even at fullhd. I had S4 for 2 years and compared with Honor 7 Ips is nothing. Plus with Huawei i get a lot of less lag...To be hones untill now i didn't experience any microlag at all... Samsung suck !!!

  • Which is better the S5 plus or S5 neo anyone?

  • It will be upgraded to 6.0 5.1.1 wont come. If you want to have it there are costume Roms for rooted phones. I got accidentally a used s5 plus. I hate the design but it was cheap and the hardware is very good. So I rooted it removed bloatware ins...

  • The Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus is a much better device see here for details: It is no Toy that is the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus! ;P

  • I have the S5 Plus it has a faster CPU and slightly better GPU than the S5 (like my sister has!) and still features all the features like waterproofing, Heart Rate monitors and so on, The S5 Plus is a slightly better version of the S5 there is nothing on or in the S5 that you do not get with the S5 Plus.

  • It will be upgraded to 6.0 5.1.1 wont come. If you want to have it there are costume Roms for rooted phones. I got accidentally a used s5 plus. I hate the design but it was cheap and the hardware is very good. So I rooted it removed bloatware installed some other nice gadgets. It runs fast and smooth with 5.02. Good battery life almost like my lost beloved z3c I'm starting to like this phone. No issues yet. Remove tw and you might be happy. Antutu with almost 54000 points. More than many 2015 flagships. Still wondering why this sd 805 with adreno 420 was built in only such few devices. Anyways this phone is the real s5 Unfortunately only few people know the difference

  • Pl.tell whether s5 plus will be upgraded to android 5.1 and further to android 6.0 in future.Will anybody reply. Thanks in advance.

  • I purchased a Samsung S5 from a Vodacom store in Bloemfontein. After three weeks the screen turned completely black. The store eventually said that they will replace the handset with an equivalent phone as the S5 has been discontinued. What phone would be a an equivalent or better phone?

  • Wich is better expect screen Alpha or S5?

  • S5 because its flagship , waterproof, plastic body(cheaper), heart rate scensor, better video cam, better fingerprint scensor

  • S5 Plus is better than original S5. S5 Neo is poorer(mostly same but simpler 16mp camera, better frontcamera, fm radio, same battery but less talk time, no nobarometer, no gesture sensor, no heart rate sensor)

  • let me just tell you something and take it seriously ! After S5 released the original s5 It was expensive for poor people,they Modified it by removing its all special features(indeed you know them)and created this Kids toy and called it s5 plus to encourage poors buy it. if i'm wrong please correct that for me.

  • Me too...my ram dropped..does this because android problem??

  • This obviously. The a7 has horrible apecs compared to this(worse CPU and GPU).

  • Hm s5 plus?

  • S5 or A7 ? which one ? why?

  • hi please check feature and insert test details.

  • The phone depends on what model you have. Its different for every country or region. Some S5 comes with Exynos and some with Qualcomm. This affects their performances greatly and the ram as well.

  • Dear ram shared with gpu s5 3g/4g has (exyno octa mali/qualcomm adreno 330) gpu s5 lte+ has qualcomm (adreno 420) gpu s5 prime has 3gigs of ram & adreno 420 each gpu shares different memory in s4 it is exynos quad with mali s4 lte it is qualcomm 600/800 adreno330 therefore it shares different amount of ram and show different capacity remaining ran

  • Hi Dear friends I have a question about exact number of galaxy s5 total ram. The guys who own this handset please hele me know it. For example my phone sony z1c that is called a phone with 2 gig ram, has a real exact number of 1705 megabytes toral ram. Another phone with 2 gig ram may have a real axact ram number of 1866 megabyte. I need this exact number to compare it to ordinary galaxy s5's total ram to see if s5 plus has a little bit more ram or not. maybe only 100 megabytes for example. Since many experts think s5 suffers of low system ram. A little bit more ram on s5 plus means it to be a more reasonable phone to be considered for my future phone. Because everybody knows about lags on galaxy s5 and so many experts think more ram could help solve this Issue. Please help me and afer installing cpu-z software inform us about its exact total ram.

  • I agree. My S5 is a disappointment. Calls are not sent or incoming calls go straight to mailbox. Very frustrating. My S2 was brilliant.

  • It is gone smartscroll is taken no more intresting feature

  • Is it me or has smart scroll been taken off the new lollipop on the gs5 plus (ee uk)

  • Hi friends today i updated my phone to 5.0.2 uk ee. Believe me its amzing every thing is redefined and redesigned specialy setting

  • i have this phone 1 week now i-m very satisfied about battery life there is no lag as in g900f still no lollipop though..very fast just like htc m8 far better battery life ..

  • i have this phone. as far as battery is concerned it lasts one complete day it took 6-7 hours screen on using data connection on 2g singnal (as i live in week singnal areas) i think it is enough i used maps, camera, auto screen brightness, chrome and upto 2hours voice calls messaging during complete battery cycle (from 100 to 6%) total of 19 hours. i m satisfied by its battery (sorry for my bad english)

  • Pls can someone put me through.. This version of Samsung s5 does the battery last upto a day? I mean when using on Internet and calls,Sms

  • After oppgrade my s5 to android 5.0,my ram dropped from 1,97 to 1,67. Why?

  • you cant buy new model of samsung the in my mind the 150$ have questions??????

  • hi dudes i have search on the net news and find the Samsung have fun phones but i cant understand that what Samsung phones try to remove equipment like radio or TV series whatever the galaxy phones at the top of S4 S5 S6 ... or some of model of S3 is best for me i have to gather my money to buy one of them almost newer model.

  • does anyone know when lollipop will be released for this product?

  • I haven't come across a Mobile Device that doesn't get hot when watching movies on device or on the net, gaming, using WiFi for a prolong period or when charging... Remember guys it's a lot of technology packed into a enclosed compact space, with a battery...

  • Iphone 6 plus scores 49000 on antutu were as the s5 plus gets 52000 and iphone 6 plus gets 1700 on 3dmark and the s5 gets 2100 the same as the ipad air 2 but when playing games the iPhone will be faster due to optimisation but the 805 is faster than the a8 especially when it gets a lollipop update eg the note edge had 45000 on antutu which has a 805 and is lower because it's a 2k screen so when it gets lollipop I saw it get 50000 so yeah

  • Lol it came out on the 28th nov that's pretty new

  • Too much heating problem while watching the movies and surfing on the Internet, I have totally wasted my money..

  • That's a pretty good ph, i have one, and works fine, selfies under watter are pretty cool too.

  • I want this ph, has a great camera, and is watter proved, loved it.

  • I agree, not having an FM radio is/was a major omission. I am a total android person but have to make the call between a Z3 which on paper is a better phone, but looks very 'consumery', and seems full of frustrating sony bloatware, and lacks the ease of use of the samsung for a business/power user and the S5 which looks like a great phone but lacks some specs of the Z3 and the fm radio on the z3. silly samsung, no wonder its been a tough year!

  • galaxy core prime..

  • the phone is fantastic when it works. I am on my 3rd and trying to get out of the contract. The phone is cold sensitive, and has some sort of hardware problem that causes the screen to stay black. Nothing is more frustrating than listening to your phone ring, alert you of incoming messages and emails and even vibrate but the screen stays black. would not recommend to anyone.

  • Im trying to buy a samsungs branded smartphone best samsung smatphone my budget is 150 $ Any suggestion?

  • How can this phone have the rated performance on this site at 50% when antutu benchmark gives him the score 51000+ which is on the top of the fastest android phones

  • awsome phone

  • WOW! "not the representative of Android". serious indeed? where-in-the-world would you think is the position of Android right now, without the great, BIG push by Samsung through the Galaxy S, & Note series? If you sincerely forget, maybe because of memory loss due to your severe Obstructive Sleep-apnoea, I can certainly give you a great help on that, for I am a licensed-massage-therapist by profession, and may be able to administer sleep-management for your own good... but if you are not?, and just simply trying to act as-if you just forget, let me remind you, that Samsung, is already, and successfully existed way-before Google had been able to discover the Android robot in Japan, and bought it, then created a mobile-operating-system OUT-OF-IT!, and even before Steve Jobs was able to even think of then good iPhone, now iBend 6 Plus device!!!

  • it's not come closer but its overcome ahahhaha

  • and that is positive thing:-)

  • Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus is a nice phone. But Samsung corporation come quickly anew version on their phone . The new Upcomining Samsung galaxy Alpha has come a lots of feature. enjoy your best with samsung galaxy Alpha

  • Does not come closer to IPhone...at all!

  • Which in year launched this mobile in Korea

  • Don't be fool, this isn't new... Its just 1 gb less memory version of S. Korean model of S5 of the past year. Its an old model.

  • Radio must be built in

  • why?

  • the only reason a phone will accumulate dust is if you will buy one and put it in your basement for storage

  • Won't buy single samsung (or another brand) phone without fm radio built in!

  • you do realize in 20 minutes you can take a ATT Galaxy S5 And make it just like a GPE Phone right? Bloatware has always been easy to remove to get it down to the bare minimum for more speed. well atleast if your educated and do research

  • Where i van buy this phone in US???

  • You are right bro , I hate it when people just lie about anything . he absolutely lying or he is retarded. Some one having commonsense can't buy seven phones by knowing that they will lag after sometime.

  • Hmmm

  • Another s5 type.. Boring

  • forgot about the GPU... Adreno 420 vs Adreno 330

  • Snapdragon 805 vs 801 Krait 450 vs Krait 400 Sony Exmor RS camera vs Samsung Isocell Lte Cat.6 vs Lte Cat.4 that's what came to mind for now. for me it's a smaller Note 4 without the screen and S-Pen...but the Korean model (906F) also have QHD screen and 3Gb RAM.

  • What is the difference between this and the s5, i expected at least a raise in the rams to 3gb instead of 2

  • totally agree . as owner of nexus devices for three year

  • If you want an android phone . buy a Google phone. . Sony. HTC . Samsung . their extra skin and poisonous apps will never be perfect.

  • Nice ph

  • Haha. . .funny guy, what r u trying to say ?? Even Samsung Devices With Snapdragon 810 will laggggg cause of Lagwise . . . So go And Buy a LG G3 or SoNY Z3 . .

  • I'd love to buy it!

  • It is one of S5+ update not only software wise but also hardware wise. Six months remaining for SG S6 very smart move by Samsung. I'd love to buy it please launched worldwide.

  • so be winning

  • HTC newst phone appearance is an Xperia copycat appearance...

  • So dissapointing for a galaxy s6...or is it s5+ ? Whatever....

  • Looks like Apple will be taking Samsung to court yet again lol

  • Samsung has seen a dramatic decrease of 5 millions in its galaxy s5 sells comparing to galaxy s4. While mobile phone selling trend is obviously upward, this statistic report shows that the plastic is not a trusted material and Samsung must devise a plan to choose another replacement or at least copy HTC newset phone appearance to not be so ugly.

  • Also to note that my comment was reviewed firstly by a moderator and allowed!

  • I do not believe that you went through 7 Samsung mobiles and complained about lag throughout them, You have to be (Retarded) stupid to spend over £500 on each of these phones. Just be honest you probably had only 1 - 2 of these or even none. You just jumped on the bandwagon to complain. Would you like to elaborate all problems that occurred while using these phones? And before you say I'm a fanboy no I'm not, I would be the same for any phone unless you can give enough reason to say so don't. Just to note I use a HTC One mobile (which I am going to change just not found one I like and I'm open to all) and an Apple iPad.

  • Never HTC one m8 is super faster and very much more beautiful Very better design and very better material use in m8

  • No the "plus" in iphone means a phablet whereas here...

  • Just like iphone. S version and plus.

  • Snapdragon 805 instead of 801

  • The S plus take more money from your pocket, but exactly the same phone. The marketing team in Samsung said to boss: Sir, we have a new strategy to sell S5. Boss: How? Marketing Team: We rename S to S plus.

  • No doubt iPhone will give a good experience however Samsung is not the representative of Android, Sony and HTC do very good Android phones that don't lag and slow down like Samsung do.

  • I wonder how you ended up collecting the whole bunch of S series =) I am an Xperia fan and I also have a set of its recent series =) I probably continue getting a lot of it coz I am not seeing the same problems you had hahaha.

  • Whay is the diference betwin s5 and s5 plus , they are exactly alike

  • too expensive...

  • I had s1 s2 s3 s4 s5 note 1 and note 2 .. And I found the same prob in all .. Firstly they have the same boring interface .. It gets slow after u use it for some days.. And gets heated :/ .. Automatically restarts . And then this month I finally I got an iphone 6 , for the first time I m using an apple device And I m very very satisfied .. Better apps , better camera , high privacy , good touch responsiveness , never lags , and an overall much better phone :) And I am never switching back to a Samsung .

  • Who doesn't want a high capacity in their smartphone? Only you it seems. Ultra power saving mode is great, but in real world applications, nobody would like to use that feature everyday or most of the time. Realize also that it is impractical to buy high end device like GS5 and only to put it in Ultra power saving mode all through out the day. Even the inexpensive One Plus One smartphone got a little more battery capacity than ours.

  • Have had iPhones. Very dissatisfied with battery life. 100% leaving home. Fully drained by lunchtime; sometimes by 10:30. Looking at new Samsung 5S options. 10 phones in our small business.

  • Dude, come to think about it, GS5 do not need 3000 mah battery beaceuse of the phone feature called "Ultra Power Saving Mode" well i mean it can hold the phone life batter up to 3 more days if it reaches about 10% . Well i guess there is some disadvantages about the "Ultra Power Saving Mode" like the apps are limited and what so ever, plus, this phone or the newly samsung galaxy S5 prime/plus has another battery . So, you'll have 2800 mah battery. So i guess upgrading the phone battery is not essensial to my opinion :) plus, there is a charging box free in the samsung galaxy prime that is super usefull xP and correction GSM Arena, Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime/Plus has 3gb of ram . Youre specs is wrong!!!

  • Hi.. how good is it with this phone

  • Why are some iphone owners here keeps on mocking the plastic body of smartphones? Look around and read more, not because your iphones are made of aluminum, it justifies it's high price. In fact, it cost no more than 230 US dollars to make an iphone and so your iphones are not made of gold materials. Iphone buyers not only buying the materials but more on the name of the product. There are too many Chinese metal clad smartphones that are so cheap which is many times less than the price of your very admired iphones. So the mocking phrase of "plastic body" no longer applies to a premium grade quality. Do you know why iphones are too expensive? It's because for a very reason that people keeps on buying them. If only the current iphone 6 are not selling well due to the competition from less pricey and big screened androids, they will re-think their pricing and marketting strategies. We can expect there will be plastic body iphone 6. Look at iphone 5C, it's plastic and less pricey with downgraded specs. Other people buys them coz they believe on their reliability and many buys them just because they would like to be thought living in high status.

  • Flagship phone with pathetic battery life at 2800maH. High specs with high price and very low battery capacity, something that Samsung is not paying attention at. Since the beggining of S1, they are equipping them with very low maH of battery, thus fast battery draining are the issues. Expect the S6 to be of the same thing like what I mentioned. I'm not gonna buy galaxy S series again, and that is for sure.

  • Samsung didn't upgrade the screen, so it's safe to assume that the touch controller is the same. You can find touchlag measurement for many devices at lesnumeriques.com (french) or at digitalversus.com (english).

  • Guys , the price of between S5plus and S5 will have much difference ? or how much ? like 25 , 30 usd ? or more ? please answer if any one knows waiting for this sexy phone +_+

  • Lol. Even though it's made of plastic than metal, still it is more durable. Water and dust resistance is very handy. Look iphone 6 plus. Easy to bend when it put to tight jeans. Breakable too. S5 now got even faster. Air shuffle, smart stay, smart scroll, etc is a cool feautures. Iphone has none. S5 has a mem. Card slot, iphone has none. S5 is more affordable than iphone in SOME country. Like in my country (philippines) iphone 6 plus worth 100,000 pesos. S5 is only 35,000 pesos. See? S5 is more better than iphone pea brain

  • after purchasing galaxy s4 i came to know that amoled is a fake word. The screen even do not match with any ordinary mobile from htc. i have lost my 38000 rupees in ruin. damn it. hate amoled.

  • Funny.. You look like you know everything. Tell me what iphone copied? If iphone wasn't announce. Will there be a smartphone?

  • Iphone came first in 2007. Without it. There wouldn't be an android whose interface also copied from ios. Difference only between them is the dual menu screen from android. Samsung first copied on iphones design and interface. Don't comment if you don't know everthing.

  • Iphone is all about Looks, Samsung is all about Performance personally i would rather have something that performs better. Iphone copy everyone else but just uses fancy words to sell their products so it sound different. Plus its funny how iPhone have suddenly came out with a bigger phone they talk so much about making their phones better but they have been the same for years.

  • Samsung is nothing but expensive smartphone and it gives a very small size under 10,000 and features are given in around 20 to 25,000

  • I phones are crap. Samsung is the king of the mobile world. deal with it!

  • Hey iphone is weak in battery plus locked in software not like samsung

  • Of coursee iphone 6 is wayy faster than this plastic phone

  • gpu is also better adreno 330 vs adreno 430

  • Why Samsung is feeling not well ....just that 801 vs 805 diff n the rest re actually the same!!!! in biz pt of view : nothing much better to do in personal pt of view: the next giant is going down!!

  • htc one m8

  • Hi guys.. did samsung galaxy s5 plus has a tracker? Can i track the msgs and call thru other phone?

  • Samsung galaxy s5 plus was very intresting and very nice phone good battery backup good video and camera reselition and good processer

  • Galaxy S5 Plus is better than iphone 6 for me: camera, battery, procesor, ram, density, ekran,

  • Hey guys am having a doubt!! Which is better to buy iPhone 6 or Samsung galaxy s5 plus?? But so many of them say that iPhone 6 faster than Samsung galaxy s5 plus... Plz frds help which is better to buy?? Help me frds...

  • Has anyone anywhere in Europe managed to buy the European version of this phone SIM-Free yet?

  • I like this phone but price not friendly :D

  • this is very wondaful phone

  • Go for GS5 Prime

  • hi could some1 pls help, I need to know how to delete a contact from bbm on s5. txs

  • I think that a QHD screen is a negative not a positive. You can't tell the difference even with larger screens like the Note 3 vs the Note 4. All QHD does is use up more RAM, slow the phone down and eat up battery life. The Snapdragon 805 SoC has superior CPU, GPU and memory bandwidth compared to the 800 and 801 SoCs but look at the benchmarks of the Note 4 and South Korean LTE-A Galaxy S5 vs the regular Galaxy S5. Look at comparisons of the Galaxy Note 3 vs the Note 4 when playing games. In the comparisons I've seen the Note 3 usually beats the Note 4 when it comes to rendering or at worst matches it (make sure both are using Snapdragon SoCs).

  • why this phone make me sad

  • Very disappointing, the change only S805.I think it would be perfect if it's fitted with 3gb ram,qhd screen and extended battery life

  • Their profits fall because of overspending in marketing

  • hey! huys i hope samsung galaxy will upgrade to samsung universe as well hehehe

  • Service Temporarily Unavailable

  • I mentioned that one. What I didn't mention was that some of these phones come in both an Exynos and a Qualcomm version and I didn't mention the Active or Sport versions either.

  • When launching minus (-) version ? These mobile companies are very busy in making people fOOl.

  • Yes. The spectrum of light used to control your TV you know. Or most other things for that matter.

  • Plus

  • Well its win win isn't it. If you were looking for an S5 now in the market. it will become cheaper now as this version is released and I think the battery life of this version will be better then normal S5.

  • what about Galaxy S4 LTE-A :)

  • I m waiting when reles s5plus

  • thanks for the points you've mentioned, as you said there is also a version of S5 LTE-A G901F , so what's the point of making this ???!!! I don't know why all manufactures are doing same thing again and again and again... maybe they are sick lol samsung: s5 then s5 lte-a and then equal twin s5 plus sony: z2 then z3 just the same hardware and of course i didn't mention other of z series like z2 pro HTC: htc m8 then m8 eye worse than m8 original it has no nfc!!!

  • Its a very vary nice phone

  • Samsung phone makers don't know what they are doing.why repeating the same phone more and more.Samsung has no flagship phone ABC

  • better processor and gpu isnt it obvious?

  • It has Snapdragon 805

  • Wrong! This phone was released to provide an LTE Advanced device. Many operators in Europe are are now opening up their LTE-A networks for commercial use and this and the Galaxy Not 4 are the only phones in Europe that support LTE-A as far as I know. This phone was also released in Singapore in August when they opened up an LTE-A network there. However Samsung don't really have a clue about product releases or stock control. They should have released only one version of the S5 with this CPU / GPU once it became available in H2. Instead they released the standard phone with the 801 CPU, 2GB RAM and standard LTE, the Korean version with the 805 CPU, 3GB RAM, QHD screen and LTE-A and then this version with the 805 CPU, 2GB RAM, standard screen and LTE-A. If they had to mange an external supply chain for most of the parts they would probably realise pretty quickly that they were doing it wrong. No wonder they sell more phones but have falling profits.

  • what is the specification of this new version of galaxy s5 ?

  • Released in order to salvage the embarrassment of the performance test it suffered against iphone 6. It is faster now

  • Does anyone have a release date for the unbranded version of this phone? I know that it is available from a few carriers at the moment.

  • You don't know Note class of samsung, QHD screen with aged, ancient SD805 processor. Not good enough for such hi-end device. Note series are allways most powerfull samsung flagship phones, except Note 4... Already outperformed, can't fight anymore... So, its weak... Yeah WTF, but for samsung. I don't know what the hell is going on with Samsung but I think they are dealing with some kind smugness syndrome, they thinking they are the best and what they doing is best too, however they just dreaming... Nokia had same problem and see what happened? They made most powerfull S5 for mainland and now they putting out crippled version for the rest of the world while asking about 600 euros... Very soon you'll have cheaper SD805 devices on the market. So, again its not worth to buy it.

  • what does the name "plus" stand for?? its the same as S5

  • It would be a good idea if it equipped with 3gb ram, 32 gb internal memory, 805 snapdragon & android lollipop. I would like to buy it at the very first day of its launch,but now i am happy with my current s5 sm-g900fd.

  • Plus isn't adding anything new. I was expecting huge changes that will make great impacts on the S5 but non. Disappointed in Samsung Galaxy S5 plus

  • Infrared???!

  • bru da s5 in not anwesome phone thats why they made an s5 plus

  • weak note4? wtf dude?

  • Hey...take it easy... Samsung will listen to you and they will put all of your criteria.... in a hundred combination of phones!

  • This phone is utter waste. By the time you bought it, S6 will be out in a month.

  • Wtf smsung just boght a s5

  • it is interesting to see how adreno 420 performs with 1080p resolution..

  • It is something plus but still worser than korean version, samsung considers world idiot who dont know what is what exactly. Not worth to buy it. Samsung is falling down, Extreme expensive galaxy alpha, weak note 4 and this thing. However sammy is smart, they will lower the price of current s5 and raise plus version, so everyone happy. is that so?

  • Introducing new phones with little or no difference from the previously released one. It's a shame Sammy.

  • Whats the point of introducing new S5 plus when they have outed note 4.Dont get it what they actually want?? Giving products with lil bit of changes and giving crap names like plus,neo,prime doesn't make any sense.

  • Samsung has used the word 'Plus' before - 'Samsung Galaxy S Plus'

  • Don't worry... probably next month, week or minute Samsung will release another Galaxy with that hardware.

  • This would be amazing and probably an instant buy for a note 2 user like myself.

  • This could have been a great choice had they bumped up the ram to 3 GB, the internal memory to 32 GB and the battery to 3000mah. Well maybe I the next galaxy s phone.

  • Basically an s5 with the newer chipset, which makes not much difference with benchmarks.

  • You are right. It is the only reason I didn't buy S5. 3 GB ram is required. I really want to buy Z3 compact but again 2gb ram only.

  • What's the difference? Really...?

  • now.... hope samsung release the new model of galaxy note too.... Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Snapdragon 805....

  • This phone is awesome i'm going to buy it once released.

  • no android upgradeto lollipop

  • Samsung should equip the s5 with 3gb ram instead of 805 SD suppose to do that with regular s5

  • Apple gonna sue Samsung using Plus.

  • Nothing .. make this new samsung device better than lg g3 or z3 .. really samsung should think twice

  • i dont get,whats the difference..same as sgs5.. samsung just produce racks of plastic,n then distribute in waste eye balls.

  • samsung Makesmartphone every month... now is a new phone 5s plus... w.t.f. i'm very satisfied with my Sony Xperia Z3. :)

  • Compare to this Sony z3 is better

  • And where is the difference?

  • Guys cool down its a spec beast with 1080p to deliver more horse power under the hood.

  • The plastic is stainless.

  • Apple gonna sue Samsung using Plus.

  • What is new in it??? how long i will stay with this company only depends on Samsung. They should know what we expect !!! In this type of High end phone we need:- 1. Dual Sim 2. Sharp Camera 3. Radi 4. Long life Battery 5. stainless back and side.

  • if hav been "radio" all in one phone

  • Rather than releasing truck of phone unloading why not Samsung wait for while & release a perfect phone Just for minor changes they'll add specification rename it with plus neo

  • No Radio? i dont want this phone

  • No LTE for north america ? no 700mhrz 1700 ?

  • s5 lte-a = s5 plus -_- well thats better then duplicated phone :D better to duplicate same model then 2 different model with same spec (Z2 - Z3 :D)

  • the best!!!

  • This is a Sony Z3 and My LG G3 killer. Wow!
