STRONGLY disagree. Hardware home button single best reason to stay with Samsung phones.


An issue I have with the hardware home button on the note 3 is that the stick doesnt trigger it like the other 2 buttons, you have to push hard enough to click the tactile switch in. And they have gone flakey on all my samsungs after some time.

Followed by a hardware Home button.

100% Agree. I love the home button and have done so on the S, 2 and 3. Love the physical home button and the 2 capacitive menu buttons, and hope this never changes.

The best feature of samsung phones in my opinion is the micro sd card slot and the removable battery. I have two batteries, So I have one in the charger charged, when it goes flat I can just swap it out and put the other one in the charger to charge again, Great when you're going out somewhere with no access to a charger, or dont want to sit next to the wall waiting for it to charge

Swapping batteries is a chore on the phones. If they had a nicer back to open and some form of hibernation rather than having to wait for it to boot up then battery swaps would be viable. I had a couple of cheap spares for my S2 and only really ever swapped them when I had left it off the charger overnight and it was dead in the morning.

What would be more useful would be charging faster since the battery is swappable who cares if you cook it becuase of higher currents. If I could get 80% charged in 20 mins I would be happy.

Why you so charge for! I took my S5 off charger at 0730 (12 hours ago), and I'm still at 66%!!

There is a USB3 slot, but it is not utilised by the stock charger.

Very disappointed at the lack of an ANE2 update. It's been available everywhere for a month now.

I had a play yesterday with the S5, great phone and the display is very good. I put it beside the M8 and Z2 and can't get over the difference in workable sceen the S5 had compared to those other 2 with the on screen capacitive buttons the others have I think Samsung has the design right and hope they don't change it in a hurry.

I was tempted to get the card out but still holding out to see if the rumored prime is going to happen and what it is exactly.
