Some Samsung Galaxy fans were hoping the S5 would get a swanky aluminum body befitting its flagship status. It didn't happen -- but that's a good thing. Here's why.
Powerful, with a fantastic camera and incredible battery life, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a superb all-round smartphone
Techfrag - According to Consumer Reports, Samsung Galaxy S5 is better rated among fans compared to the latest flagship Galaxy S6. It isn’t often that we see a previous model of smartphone being rated higher than its successor.So why exactly are fans preferring Galaxy S5 over Galaxy S6?
"Getting fast, prompt operating system updates is a good thing, right? Well, not if you’re the unlucky owner of a Samsung Galaxy S5 and you’ve had the misfortune of upgrading to Samsung’s own Android Lollipop 5.0 version for the phone"
but i think aluminum body would be good, it will safe the cell if it drop ..
"Why the Backpanel is Samsung Galaxy 5's Secret Weapon"
Fixed. There's no reason they couldn't have done the same thing without going so cheap with the materials.
So they couldn't think of a metal body and screw covers? The reason I stay away from Samsung phones is because it feels and look cheap.
meh, I prefer a metal body.
Who cares if it's metal or plastic? Hahaha. If you are buying a smart phone based on the external material of the backplate... you probably shouldn't be buying a smart phone. That is absurd.
I've had two iPhones (3S & 4S), a Galaxy S, S2, S3 and now an S4... without a doubt, the S4 is the best phone I've ever owned or used.
S5's 'minor' upgrades are more than enough reason for this to be my next phone. You can make the backplate out of styrofoam for all I care, as long as it works like the S4.
