Prepare to wait a while then...

If this a beast might tempt me to move from note 4

If this a beast might tempt me to move from note 4

Will be surprising if it's markedly better than N4 in any way at all..

Will be surprising if it's markedly better than N4 in any way at all..

Build quality,speed,camera,screen,new touchwiz...basically everything

Hoping it's going to come in at over 5" though,5.5 would be my ideal size but then it would compete against the note too much,5.3 maybe?

 

[kona786]

Build quality,speed,camera,screen,new touchwiz...basically everything

All quite incremental over the Note 4 though I would assume.

Except for the build quality? The note 5 will be killer

And the Note 6 after that and then the S7 and then the Note 8...

 

[haroon]

And the Note 6 after that and then the S7 and then the Note 8...

i don't expect much after the note 5 to be honest,4k display,metal body,bit faster here and there,what else is there to do?

by the end of this decade moore's law would have hit a wall and performance increases are going to be few and far between,that's why every major tech company are trying to turn themselves into service company's.

 

[Rimsy]

Theres still ground to be made up in the camera and battery department... hopefully in 5 years we'll be reminiscing of the days we used to have to charge our phone every day

 

[mrk]

You mean 2 years

 

[Rimsy]

that would indeed be preferable!

 

[mrk]

Looks like the "light on the bloat" rumour was true. Samsung has finally listened to actual users after all these years.

The S6 will only come with 2 pre-installed Samsung apps: http://www.sammobile.com/2015/02/25...ng-apps-will-come-preloaded-on-the-galaxy-s6/

I hope the MS apps are installed to /data/app/ and not /system/app/ - That way it will be like the Xperia Z3 whereby they can easily be user uninstalled and no faff with root required to properly get rid of them.

 

[haroon]

The one samsung app i was hoping to get the chop was s voice...just a completely inferior product compared to google now...

 

[kona786]

Here it is...basically looks like as S5 with metal band and sealed glass rear.

If that's real then they've really taken the **** copying the iPhone. Doesn't look great either.

 

[kona786]

Basically look like an iP6 as you said. However nothing can look worse than the back of the iPhone with those tacky lines.

Yeah, those lines aren't Apple's finest hour when it comes to design. Wouldn't have taken a big effort to make them look a bit smarter, you'd have thought.

Agreed.

I don't get why Samsung persist with copying Apple's designs though, pretty strange. Surely they can come up with something just as good/better by themselves.
