Hey guys!

Soo.. Pocketlint had accidentally posted their Galaxy S5 review minutes ago and has deleted the page... However, I managed to enter the page seconds after it was posted and I've read the review. I have taken screenshots of the page for you since it is now inaccessible. What can I say, I am underwhelmed by this device. If you're looking for a metal S5, look somewhere else.

See it for yourself.

(And yes, of course it will come with a fingerprint scanner )

I am not at all interested in this phone if this is indeed the actual phone. Looks like I will be getting the HTC M8 mate.

What a disspointment.

I was getting my hopes high for a premium device worth the price they are asking. Samsung prices their phone the same as Apple, yet Apple phones are so much more PREMIUM. can't say that about Samsung. I hope people would stop buying it so they learn a thing or two.

This phone looks exactly like the S4 who also looked like the S3... seems like Sammy has copied Apple in this department too.
I thought they were saying they would start with a new fresh design. what happend to that?

I will definitely not be buying the S5 if it looks like that. When will samsung understand, that exterior design is an important part of a smartphone.

I'm going to wait to pass judgement til more details are available than a paragraph and a few pictures. The only thing I find disappointing from this sparse info is the 1080 resolution, I was expecting 1440.

1440 would be a waste. 1080 is fine on a 5 inch display, let the battery tech catch up a bit. That said, I don't care about the new sensors but I would trade my S4 for an S5 in a second if it has better battery life (which it should).

Why is the bezel thicker? That alone makes me not want to buy it at all.

this is a real foul for samsung, they should have made a premium looking device. Shiny plastic bezel looks terrible. I currently have an S4 i9505, and while I like my phone, other companies such as HTC have done a really good job with making their phones look beautiful and sturdy. Apple will just steamroll samsung when the iphone 6 comes out.

The Galaxy S5 is a disappointment. I was expecting a metallic enclosure. Or a new, fresh design at least. Shamesung. Or Samesung.

I really expected something more, this is just,.. meh. Imho the phone is really ugly,
S4 is much better looking, and that back cover is just atrocious...
