Kar_lover Supercharged April 5, 2014 Share April 5, 2014 Yes you can start pre-order now at $1000++ (can't remember exact fig but below $1100). I played with the demo set at Samsung Jurong Point. Specs wise it's a bit of a let down cos still only 2GB RAM (expected 3GB like Note 3) and there is actually not many significant improvements over S4. There is fingerprint recognition, the slightly bigger screen, slightly faster processor, etc. For those with S4, it's probably not a worthwhile to upgrade if you have to pay full price. If you got contract to upgrade then I would get it and sell back at $900++. I had Sony before but somehow don't like their interface so much and I am not a apple person. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow one of my requirements in phone is water resistant as i do swim almost daily i switch to samsung s3 > s4 (now) from iphone in terms of camera quality and phone reception and wifi speed samsung has no fight with iphone ... miles away can't wait for iphone 6 so i can switch back Now the new S5 u can download at faster wifi speed, plus u can have the option to download it with wifi and.

S3 start lagging after same time. 5s screen too small. S3 screen was very good size not too big or small. Switch back to iphone cos find latest samsung phones are too bigger for me.

Lala81 Hypersonic April 5, 2014 Share April 5, 2014 (edited) i want a phone camera that can focus faster. Unfortunately the fastest is still iphone. Haiz, but i prefer to stick to android. Using Xperia Z. If i'm going to stick to android, i will probably avoid samsung. Sony is fairly well built. Less QC issues. Waiting to see how the Z2 camera perform. i'm comfortable with a 5-5.2 inch screen. Edited April 5, 2014 by Lala81 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung S5 or Sony Xperia Z2? Any other alternatives? Wait iPhone 6? P.s contract expiring this june currently using padfone. the above notable features are not useful or rather, not a big deal breaker as after a while, do u really bother with those functions? I will choose xperia Z2 cos I also swim regularly and I like to be able to handle w wet hands without care. I brought padfone because of the novelty of being able to switch to padstation but comes 2016, I will use my padfone as a home tablet (if its still working) and then I will switch to water resistant phone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabian Turbocharged April 5, 2014 Share April 5, 2014 (edited) Waiting for Xiaomi's 4G flagship model. 2GB ram is kinda low for a flagship model. Currently using Note 3.

Happily1986 5th Gear April 5, 2014 Share April 5, 2014 Samsung knox sucks. Software implementation too. My S2 keeps having bootloop or sudden sleep of death but thankfully the xperia z is not like that. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
