I don't usually mind plastic phones but I was looking forward to metal S5.
HTC gained some ground last year with HTC one and if they bring out another premium phone it will affect Samsung.

Did it? I know it's a good phone but I hadn't read any news on HTC gaining ground with the one, could you link to where you've read this because sometimes it's hard to decipher facts from personal opinions.

It didn't so much gain ground, more keep its ground tbh. The One is a fantastic looking phone.

Ontopic.
I'm somewhat letdown by the look of the S5 if these leaks are real, there's no real change from the S4 and a faux leather back can only do so much.

Really really hope the leaks are wrong.

I have no links. Just what I heard maybe your right. HTC was failing. Losing money but the one helped keep them on track. It propably wasn't as popular as the SIV but was able to hold it's own.

If today's leaks are to be believed I would think that the design and the tech specs of the s5 are very disappointing, particular if no major touchwiz overall.

I guess we'll need to wait and see a few more hours. Maybe this is the S line faltering....

Enjoy it, cos it'll be the default ringtone on the S5 and no one will change it

They're different pics to the ones i saw. The ones i saw showed a curved screen. Like the LG televison.

Probably fake also, but a muchnicer looking device.

Nice pics of previous Galaxy S devices.

Basically we know there's new technology but we're gonna stick to the tried and tested and let others take the risk. Boring
