They said it was 2800mA. 10hrs talk, 12 hrs video. And it has a super duper power saving mode where the phone will go black and white, and transform into a sms/calls only phone. Apparently in that mode, 10% will last 24 hours.

The more I think about it, I really like that last feature.

AMOLED uses less space, less battery, has better response time and produces deeper blacks.


Pixel degradation is also much faster on AMOLED. The blues especially.

AMOLED is still not as good as IPS, and will probably never be.


amoled and ips both have their selling points, so i cannot agree with your blanket statement.

however when i posted my original comment, i was assuming the 1440p res and 560ppi rumors were true, which apparently are not.

when i say not as good, i mean not as good visually. Yes, like korkstand said, AMOLED is thinner, uses less energy, and has deeper blacks.

The blackness of the blacks is all that matters

Same here. 3.5 year old HTC Incredible is on its last legs. Constant, unfixable 'Low Memory' warning.

I'm kind of curious though... I thought Samsung was releasing a "F"-series super premium flagship? If there's no news about it, I think I'll be happy with a S5...

If the CPU cores are running at at 2.5 GHZ, the S5 is most likely employing the Snapdragon 801.
