lol ur comment was both good and bad@ OP : You really are NOT comparing iPhone 5 with S5 right? If you are then
Now is it worth to switch from an iPhone 5 to S5, more than anything else, anything. There is a huge advantage of iPhones though, they sell at a pretty good price, so you might get pretty good price for it, and make the switch. However I won't advice buying S5 at 50k, wait till the price falls somewhere around 41 / 42k, which is not long from now.
Now if the question were is it worth buying an S5 from an S4? No, cause the upgrades or given features are very minimum. But from iPhone 5? Well, I will say even Nokia 720 is an 'upgrade' from it.
PS : If I were you I would wait till Nokia 930 launches. From iOS to WP, might be a better option than from iOS to Android.
An out of box iPhone is an infant in comparison with an out of box Android (and you don't even need a top of line Android for this) A jailbroken iPhone with Cydia is NOTHING in front of a simply rooted Android (with stock kernel, let alone custom ones) Apple's Map is GARBAGE in comparison with G-Maps That IPS screen in comparison with S4's OLED is like comparing a Toyota with a Ferrari, and so on, so on, I can keep typing.
i agree with u to the point that the 4s has a terrible glass back design and that iphones are more of a fad these days and are used to show off how wealthy someone is but i disagree about samsung being better than an iphone , windows phone yes it has its issues but overall its a much better phoneGood, for you.
My comment was based on my experience too, which I have gained for past one decade. The amount I spent on mobile phones only will buy a new diesel Civic
I don't comment on any products I haven't used personally. So yes, I have used iPhone 5S for one week. Course I didn't waste my money behind that.....object. But exchanged my S4 with colleague's iP 5S, THE WORST one week of my techy life in this 26 years. Whatever, I ain't interested in going to full details and all that. I was an Apple fan until 2010, and I kept bashing Samsung whenever I got the chance, now I feel very ashamed for that. When people say iPhone is better than Samsung S4 / S5, I honestly have no idea what definition of 'better' they read in school, I must have missed that. The only reason I was an Apple / iPhone admirer because of it's build quality, but then after seeing there are seven Apple products under top 10 fragile devices of the world, that was it. Yes, when you hold the iPhone it certainly feels better than an S4 / S5, cause it's at least metal / glass in comparison with ultra cheap and disgusting plastic. But that's it. I ain't paying some 45k for some gimmicky phone, which can do NOTHING but make you a prisoner of that brand. Ultra Rubbish. iOS is a JOKE in comparison with Android
All in all, I don't care. iOS is the childish OS I have ever used. If I need some amateur OS why would I bother to pay a premium price? Windows Phone is simple too, and costs how many times less than iOS again? Then Android, the above paragraph will tell you that I might be an Android fan, now let me tell you, I am not, actually I loathe the OS. All those Lags, Force Closes, poor optimization regardless of strong hardware are a disgrace. I run a business, I need a stable phone, not some geeky nonsense. Have been using it for past five years all right, but that's simply there's no better OS available! Symbian was good, DIED. Bada was nice DIED. Meego was good, DIED. WebOS was nice, DIED. Now when I am seeing the WP is getting more and more polished I am so excited. However I won't make the move as of yet. It does need a little bit more maturity.
Apple might convince mostly dumb Americans who points out China as Australia, or think Indians are actually Arabians or somehow related, or can't name a country with U, but even if they shoot me in the head, I won't use another sodding iPhone again in my life.
P E R I O D
actually the 930 and HTC One M8 have better displays than the Galaxy S5[MENTION=115573]Sarath[/MENTION] : I always respected you, because of you matured comments and reviews. So believe me when I say N720 is comparable with iP 5S, if not better. And if it gets the WP 8.1, then, well...I was NOT carried away by any means bro!
Yeah, let the OP decide. But at this moment, anyone having 35k+ cash, undoubtedly I will recommend the Lumia 930. I don't know how could I hold my patience till June though
However, once again, Samsung has taken them ahead in the display race, the ONLY reason I stuck with Samsung so far, and the S5 is gonna rule for some time,
Samsung details new Galaxy S5 display panel - GSMArena Blog
God knows why the hell Sony / Panasonic doesn't come up with OLED display of theirs! They are just letting Samsung play, without any rivalry
despite this its a great phone
ikr btw if u get a lumia with glance screen support, u wont miss the LED notification light as suchThat's even great then. You just made these long two months even more longer.
Only thing I will miss from S4 will be the LED notifier and a call recording app. And maybe a Sony sensor, however heard good things about the Zeiss one. Lack of SD card is no biggie for me at all, people just trying to create a nuisance, Android and iOS fanboys especially
S5 isn't a good phone at all imho, you can a LG G2 at 38k now(32GB), or even less locally if you can let go of the free case. HTC M8 is another good option. If you can tolerate large size you can also opt for LG G Pro 2 as it will launch soon. Xperia Z2 is coming as well.
Anyway, just to give opinion from a completely neutral point of view, if he likes his iPhone 5, he should stick with it. If he has an update 'itch' like me and money no problem, then S5, if Android only. And Lumia 930 if into Windows Phone. That's it. LG G2 is a real VFM, but again personally I won't ever buy an LG, absolute no offence to anyone. But whichever of the above three, or even some more, they are a big 'upgrade' for me from an iP5.
