[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;45046308]The best camera is the one you have always on you[/QUOTE] how can cameras be real if our eyes aren't real
[QUOTE=MaxOfS2D;45046308]The best camera is the one you have always on you[/QUOTE] No, the best camera you have is the one on you. The better camera is the one you left at home.

[QUOTE=Gran PC;45045592]sorry to hear that[/QUOTE] I wasn't really convinced that G2/G3 is a better choice, especially given the fact G3 isn't available in our stores to this date. HTC One M8 didn't look satisfying to me. What else can you recommend? [editline]9th June 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=Akasori;45045935]Why are you doing this? S5 is a piece of shit compared to G2. ლ(ಠ益ಠლ[/QUOTE] Just in what way?
Xperia Z2 is also a great choice as well.
The Nexus 5 is really nice.
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;45045553]Neh, fuck it, im going for S5. Thanks for tips.[/QUOTE] Who's the guy with the nightmare Galaxy S5 experience again? WHERE ARE YOU WHEN YOUR INPUT IS NEEDED
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;45048312]Nexus 5? Z2 if you are feeling questionable?[/QUOTE] Nexus is cheap, looks okay, but not as powerful. I'll have to take a look and play around with it in a local carrier store. Z2 looks like a great counter to S5, in what way could it be a deal breaker? The underwater filming gimmick? :v: (btw i'm digging) Also, how true is that Z2 has "magical battery life"? [editline]9th June 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=iCole;45048398]Who's the guy with the nightmare Galaxy S5 experience again?

I think it's [URL="http://facepunch.com/member.php?u=360503"]TonyTheBean[/URL] if I'm not mistaken, but the posts are scattered all over this thread. A summary post would've been nice. from the posts in here and on Hangouts, it went something like this: overheating, shit battery life, everything is crashing, not actually even close to waterproof/water resistant, shit speaker, usb port flap fell off etc etc etc

Very well, Z2 it is, but unfortunately it is a hundred euro more expensive in here. Gonna go for another week and rack up the money. Darn, buying my middle-high PC rig was cheaper. Z2 here, cheapest, costs 649 euro, while S5 wins in 579.

[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;45049033]Uh the Nexus 5 has the same specs of pretty much every single H1 2014 flagship[/QUOTE] You mean Q1
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;45043636]SDL gets android keyboard input so HL2 sees it fine and you can bind it to anything using console commands[/QUOTE] nonono i mean hl2 on android. i know it came out on shield but i thought only tegra 3 devices could use it?
[QUOTE=TonyTheBean;45049171]nonono i mean hl2 on android. i know it came out on shield but i thought only tegra 3 devices could use it?[/QUOTE] the latest version of gltools can emulate the specific tegra operations needed for source on android on most devices.
[QUOTE=TonyTheBean;45049171]nonono i mean hl2 on android. i know it came out on shield but i thought only tegra 3 devices could use it?[/QUOTE] tell us about your amazing S5 stories
[QUOTE=iCole;45048398]Who's the guy with the nightmare Galaxy S5 experience again? WHERE ARE YOU WHEN YOUR INPUT IS NEEDED[/QUOTE] me? i like my s5, now that i know that i'm gonna get most of my problems fixed. only because i know what happened to me was kind of an extreme case because nobody else has my problems. i summed it up on reddit, so i'll just copy it here. [QUOTE=http://www.reddit.com/r/galaxys5/comments/26xe0w/i_hate_my_s5/] I'm not going to mention problems that I believe effect every model, only ones that have happened to mine. If you have the same problems as me, please say so. I feel I've gotten a defective device (and ATT won't do shit about it). [b]Cosmetic/Build Quality[/b] My phone truly looks like it came out of a Chinese toy factory. The camera lens came rotated counter-clockwise by about 5 degrees. I have tried everything to fix it and it keeps going back to being rotated. The battery flap broke off today. I am always extremely careful with my devices, especially my S5. There is nothing I could have done to stop this from happening aside from buying a $70 wireless charging case. [b]Hardware/Software Problems[/b] Since day one of owning my phone, the battery has been complete and utter shit. For example, I have had to charge my phone twice today to keep it from dying(5% to 30%, one hour later it needed to be charged up from 1%), and it was originally charged up to 100% 12 hours ago. I don't do anything on my phone that should cause this. I literally only use Google Music, Messenger, Reddit Sync (rarely), and Hangouts for text messaging. Today I made 7 phone calls within an hour and that brought the phone from 40% to 20%. You may be saying "USE ULTRA POWER SAVING MODE!". I have. It doesn't work. I once did a 15 minute phone call on UPSM and it brought my battery from 22% to 15%, similar to how my battery behaved today. Another problem i've experienced is the phone refusing to wake up. Today it took about a minute and a half just to get to the lockscreen, only for it to jump back to the lockscreen 30 seconds after unlocking. A few minutes after that my music froze and once again the phone would not turn back on. This happened about 5 times in the course of an hour today. Sometimes my keyboard just won't open up, which requires a restart. This happens about 1-2 times a week. I've factory reset my device and it still happens. [/QUOTE] so, update since i made that post 2 weeks ago. i've contacted ATT about this, and they're gonna charge me 580 for the phone if i attempt to send it back with the battery flap missing cause its "physical damage", so i have to fix that myself. a local att store here [i]was[/i] going to notify me when they get an s5 replacement so we could switch out the batteries, but after calling them again last week they told me that they don't notify people for that stuff so i have to call them every week. no other problems have shown up, except for a recurring dream of where i accidentally break my s5.
I'll probably get a new phone when the new USB 3.1 Type C becomes a standard on phones. So hopefully that can happen next year some time.
[QUOTE=garychencool;45049209]tell us about your amazing S5 stories[/QUOTE] Seconding, tell us about your experience, Tony. Would help me a bit :v:
i also have a friend with the t-mobile s5 and he loves his phone. none of my problems even remotely show on his phone. i simply caught a bad case of bad quality control.
Sorry guys that I keep annoying you, but I think I've made the decision. I've compared the specs of both XPeria Z1 and XPeria Z2, and it shows that XPeria Z2 just has an over-the-top camera and slightly longer battery life. Considering XPeria Z1 is relatively cheap, I'm going with it! Thank you guys for your inputs!

For example, if I crack my screen, and then the speaker stops working, I can still get the speaker fixed, because my previous damage couldn't have caused it.
