Hello my friend! After a week of use I made a review of the S5 Duos (G900FD). Just have a read and let me know!
Have a nice week end!
SMARTPHONE: start right away by saying that the one in question is not "a" phone but "THE" phone. Compared to gt-i9502 (Exynos processor at 1.6 GHz), 2.5 GHz Snapdragon 801 by Qualcom show all its power and even the Adreno 300 graphics processor PowerVR SGX544 gives a track to S4 dual sim. The issue of overheating of the phone has not been resolved and that, too, like its predecessor, when subjected to stress calculation (i.e. when playing with Asphalt 8) warms too much!
The dimensions of the phone, though slightly larger, is not that noticeable. The increased thickness of the S5 and its retro feeltouch similar to leather make it more enjoyable and greater grip than S4. However, putting a cover the two are equivalent, and in useing it with one hand I did not find any difficulty. For those who have hands a little smaller is still present "single hand" mode that personalizes, reducing it as needed, the display area reachable with your thumb. The S5 also has the IP67 certification for resistance to splashes and dust. Told between us, my friends, I would not give it a try ; )
The SuperAMOLED display is great (but depends on taste because Taliban of LCD screens should find out that S5 display seem to produce oversaturated colors), nothing bad to report: a plus compared to S4, in my opinion, is under the direct sunlight where the contrast, and hence the readability, is significantly improved (at least 10/20%).
USER INTERFACE: the TouchWiz based on Android 4.4.2 kitkat is really very fluid. I have never encountered lag or even jamming with a couple of applications open in the background or while streaming video. Of course, for those not accustomed android 4.4 (like myself) at first seems all a mess, but it's just a matter of practice. The only weak point is that there are not many customization options so I think I'll quickly put on Nova Prime launcher that is what I prefer the most. Finally, I want to point out that the latest version of the Samsung UI has some "unpleasants" blocks (... or at least I still have not figured out how to unlock ...) as the infinite scroll on the home screen which is not provided and the incremental ringer (at the beginning, the tone is low and then increased up to the level chosen). Android + Touchwiz occupy a quarter of the smartphone's ROM (4Gb about 16 available): it is a little to much, but the ability to install applications and store photos and vido made with the camera phone directly on SD (I put on one with 64Gb but by the 128Gb one is also supported), in the end, it is a good compromise that allows you to have always at least 30% free space on the physical memory to facilitate the functioning of the OS and UI.
MANAGEMENT DUAL SIM: The phone has a single antenna for the management of LTE and W-CDMA and one for the management of the GSM standard. The phone is technically not a DSFA but a DSDS. However, the dual sim is always active excellently managed by software via 'call waiting'. This means that if, while we are engaged in a conversation and we receive another call, we can hold the active to answer the second call and then resume the previous one. Also, if you answer the phone with headset or phone speaker, the navigation data is possible even if this is set on the same card of the incoming call. The only limit to this, since as mentioned above the antenna LTE / W-CDMA is only one, is that the navigation data at high speed can be enabled on a card at a time, so if you enable LTE on Sim1, the sims 2 will only have GSM and vice versa. Even with the this limit, in my opinion the double setting possibility is a great asset because it allows 1) to navigate at high speeds on both sims 2) the switch between the high-speed navigation is via software without physically swap cards into the slots.
As for outgoing calls, the improvement in respect of S4 dual sim is that you can choose between the settings "Always Ask" about the Sim to use for the outgoing call. Personally I find this a big advantage because with the S4 I often do not know what number I was calling with.
GPS & Wi-Fi: not having root permissions needed to run the app FasterFix the first satellite fix is a bit slow (it takes a few minutes) because you have to download the DB from the network. However, after the first time, the fix is immediate and position detection is very precise. Compared to the S4 I have not found great differences, even though I did not "test the cellar" : ) Wi-Fi signal reception, such as the S4, is great and I have nothing to report. In this sense, however, I have not been able to test the screen mirroring that with this phone is expected to run at 100% while on S4, in the presence of root, there were insurmountable problems of recognition by all Smart TV (while following various forums, I've never read of anyone able to share the screen of his rooted smartphone on TV at home). Do not worry, I'll keep you posted!
CAMERA: The main improvement, in my opinion, was made on the secondary camera which, although technically the same as the S4, has seen significant improvement in its performance surely as a result of an upgrade in software. On main camera I can not say anything bad about the power (16mp means +3 mp in respect to S4) and the recording of Full HD videos. The dual flash that allows to make great shots even in low light conditions. Furthermore, in terms of settings, there are various useful technical implementations such as selective focus on the screen that lets you select the "focal point", or the audio zoom selectable while shooting video. Among the various shooting modes the news that intrigued me the most is the Virtual Tour that lets you take consecutive shots to environment and then later you can see it dynamically as it happens, for example, on google map.
GEAR FIT: compatibility with the smartwatch is excellent. No problems with bluetooth connection (as it happened to me from time to time in S4 ... even after restarted both devices ...) and perfect synchronization between Gear Fit Manager and S-Heath. Even tought switching on bluetooth all day with email notifications (3 mailboxes) WA (2 accounts), Facebook and forums, both the battery life of the smartwatch (average duration 5 days) and of the phone were not affected at all.
BATTERY: last but not least I have to make a tribute to Mom Samsung for the good work done about the energy economy. For my use, with the standard battery of S4 I could last no more than lunch time after which I had to insert the spare battery. The increased 200 Mah battery power plus the energy savings resulting from improvements made both on Android 4.4 Touchwiz allow me now to arrive until mid afternoon. For me this is a good point because at that time I'm generally in the office and I can attach the phone to the power supply: "extra batteries goodbye"!
CONCLUSION: I think that the cost ( 700 = 560 S5 + 140 customs fees and VAT) is pretty high but I'm also convinced that this device really rules because as I said earlier, this is THE Smartphones: powerful, fast, beautiful (... de gustibus ...), dual sim LTE (pratically full active), water/dust resistant (?), not so big and at the end of the dai it come with international official Samsung rom that will allow you to have all future Android updates developed ad hoc with no needs of third-party ROM.
I think the money spent, this time, were real investment ... but I say it every time... but afther that I'mstill here...
