Surely nobody wants the screen to get any bigger, and those that do will get a note or something. Honestly, why, its like they think they have to increase it each time for some reason.

exactly , s4 size is perfect for me, and im sure they can get 5.2 inch making the bezel smaller , lets hope there is prime version , as this for me its a big let down !,

We all criticize Apple for their designs and the laziness, when Samsung appear to be guilty of that as well.

Here's hoping for a premium version

Who cares? People are acting upset as if looking different were the only reason they'd be buying the phone. You buy a phone based on what it can do, not what it looks like!

I and a lot of other people care for both.

And if they all do the same thing?

I want both too!

Then there's no need for you to buy a new phone, so you aren't in the market for this anyway.

Oh dear... leaked images of the S5 show a bit of a gopping design!

See here: http://www.rappler.com/technology/news/51451-samsung-galaxy-s5-leaked-photos

The back reminds me of an old steering wheel cover. :eek:

What else is going to be good and out in the next month then?

mrk · 24 Feb 2014 at 13:56

Nothing really, apart from 128GB cards

Well least one thing after seeing the leaks I'll be keeping hold of my Note 3 now till September.

Mobius 1 · 24 Feb 2014 at 14:11

wow, pretty underwhelmed by those leaked specs... if true, its basically a galaxy S4S.. :confused:

Scotty123 · 24 Feb 2014 at 14:11

Really hope it isn't plastic, or even worse, the faux leather on the back. I've seen the 'leaked' images, I'm hoping they're false.

Maybe samsung purposely put those phones on the display to fool people? One can hope anyway. They wouldnt want people seeing gs5 before their event so leaving them all on display behind a watch seems a little bit obvious.

maybe im picky but thats big, if they chopped the top and bottom bezels to half would make it great size.

is it me or i aint that impressed with these new phones, i know the hardware spec is what expected from them cant complain,

for me the S4 was nice size, why are samsung making there phones bigger and bigger each time, i thought thats what the note was for

Well if that's the design they have messed up, i could design a better phone than that any day.

GS 4 was leaked before the announcement last year as well and iirc so was the gs 3

If true, lol that is all.....

People really expected any different, Samsung are the new apple and have been for the last few years now.

And the sad thing is, they will throw even more money at the marketing department and it will still sell millions more than any of the other phones (even if the other phones get better reviews and are "better" overall)

Mobius 1 · 24 Feb 2014 at 14:31

its looking as though the Z2 is going to be the flagship to have this time round?

mrk · 24 Feb 2014 at 14:43

I still want to see proper photos of the black one though. White phones ALWAYS look like cack.

Sorry white phone owners but you know deep down it's true.

That perforated effect looks crap! I really hope they pull it out of the bag with a "prime" model.
