Hi,
I'm buying the S5 today and wondering about which variant I should buy? I can't find any info regarding this (which one is 4G, bands, etc). Even tried Google... Any help is appreciated.

If you live in an area with LTE coverage and plan to use it, go for the Snapdragon 801 variant. Look for the specs on the box, if you find the LTE logo and LTE bands listed as well as a 2.5GHz Quad-core CPU type, that's the one. The Exynos version will list HDSPA+ at connectivity and say 2,1GHz Quad core + 1,5 GHz Quad Core, indicating the 8 (4+4) core SoC, that one doesn't have LTE.
