Samsung Galaxy S5 Seems Promising for India


We Indians need value and value I see in the Samsung Galaxy S5. After weeks of anticipation, the smartphone giant uncovered its latest device at the Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona, Spain. This gadget has a dotted plastic back cover and seems to be packed with features (hopefully with less bloat-ware). Samsung didn't reveal the price but the Korean manufacturer would be announcing it in 150 countries, starting from April 11, 2014. Here's what's to look for in this model.

#MyTake: Google Nexus 5

Announced in mid-October, the LG Google Nexus 5 is a piece of art. If you liked the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, you will love this flagship gadget. It's the best value-for-money smartphone out there right now. The 16GB & 32GB variants are trending on Indian e-tail stores for many weeks now. Many still want to buy this and are waiting for Mobile World Congress which usually brings a price drop.

Here, Features talk for them self. Wireless Charging, NFC, a clean and pure Android 4.4 KitKat 'out of the box', a 4.95" full HD IPS screen covered in Gorilla Glass 3, a 1,920 x 1,080 (445 PPI) resolution, 2.23GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB RAM & GPS. Connectivity includes micro-USB, 3G, 4G LTE, NFC. This also supports OTG drives, which allow you to connect the regular USB drives directly to your phone.

Looks good doesn't it? Even I thought the same, until I used it for a week. Here's my experience snapshot of the factors that really matter...
