I don't think it's out yet.

Event has started or set to begin I think.

Assuming they are getting the same set of douchebag hosts like previous events, I would pass.

Event is On now.

I am hugely disappointed by this phone. Galaxy S3 was clearly a peak point of Galaxy S series. Apart from few gizmos, S5 is largely a rebadged S4. I was at least expecting fresh new design with some metal elements, UI improvements and more RAM considering touchwiz's high RAM usages.

" Yet again, the lack of a “wow factor” at a flagship device unveiling shows us just how mature a product the smartphone is. Unless you’re unusually excited about a fingerprint sensor or understand what Samsung means by the “modern glam” look that it tells us the Galaxy S5 possesses, it’s hard to see why anyone goes out of their way to upgrade to this phone."

The rest of the phone's stats won't come as any shock. The GS5 offers a top-of-the-line 2.5GHz Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM, an IR remote, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 BLE/ANT+, Cat 4 LTE (up to 150Mbps down/50Mbps up) and your choice of 16GB or 32GB of internal storage; oddly, 64GB doesn't appear to be an option, though you can add up to 128GB via a microSD card if needed. All told, it's very much a run-of-the-mill Galaxy S flagship, but there are enough new hardware features and software tweaks to make it feel fresh.

Samsung Galaxy S5 preview: simpler in some ways, more 'glam' in others

Z2 has a better processor. More RAM and would probably be cheaper.

Samsung Galaxy S5

I like these features:

Download Booster
Powered speed with LTE & Wi-Fi together
The Download Booster technology lets you use the LTE and Wi-Fi simultaneously to give you an unrivaled network experience! When you need to download files in a hurry, turn on the LTE and Wi-Fi together and experience approximately 80~90% of the added network speed of LTE and Wi-Fi.

MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output)
Doubled connection, Faster speed
The 5th generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac and 2X2 MIMO technology equip Galaxy S5 with two internal Wi-Fi antennas to double the connection and accelerate the speed of your Wi-Fi like never before.

Power Saving Mode (+Ultra Power Saving Mode)
Enhancing power for important situations
Use the Power Saving Mode to save and extend your battery life so you no longer have to worry about missing important calls when your phone is running low on battery. In addition, the new Ultra Power Saving Mode changes your screen to black and white and shuts down all unnecessary features to dramatically minimize battery consumption.

looks like samshit messed up on finger print sensor. t only works if you slide down the finger from top to bottom.
