This will be my next phone when it comes out. Supposed to be a direct competitor of the next iphone.

 

As a general rule, I give any phones in the last 2-3 years with a Samsung brand, a solid "meh". They lock them down and use proprietary stuff. Life is too short for locked phones.

 

Eh, I'm not impressed.



People b*tch and complain about the battery life on the S5 (2800mAH) and this only has 1860maH. I'm not a power user by any means, but 1860mAH just doesn't seem like enough to get you through, well anything really. It also doesn't have a microSD slot.



and 4.7 inch screen.... noooooooo

 

I'm not complaining about my S5. I rarely run it past 50% and I listen to 2hrs of Pandora every day. It's the slow charging that's a little irritating.



Why does anyone NEED to compete with the Iphone? Has never impressed me. Android > *

 

Well good for you, you're one of the few people I know with reasonable battery expectations.



I have a LG G3 and it takes real work for me to use the battery from 100% to below 50% before I go to bed.



But I know a lot of people who have an S5 or something with a larger battery and complain. -_-



I just think they made a bad move with the small battery and no mircoSD card slot.
