With all the leaks that we got, I'm disappointed with what it came up with. Where is the QHD screen, 3GB of team, Snapdragon 805? Why do we still have flagship phones with 16GB storage? I also think these OEMs have messed up Android. Why can't we uninstall bloatware? With Samsung apps taking so much space, we are being robbed of valuable storage here. We don't use all these builtin Apps.

I think a ton of people on this website pretty much loathes everything Samsung makes, except the Note series.

I honestly think this phone was WAY too overhyped. The SD 805 probably wasn't ready in time and QHD screens on 5" displays make absolutely ZERO sense whatsoever. 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage was probably done to avoid making the phone a smaller Note 3, which IMO, if true, is absolutely stupid.

Blame the rumors and carriers for that
As for the storage thing, I blame Samsung

Like already said, people had way too high expectations because of the rumors...one thing I have learned

Re: I'm not impressed with Galaxy S 5

Something needs to be done about these builtin Apps which eat up space. I'm struggling with my phone because the whole two gigs is gone and I'm left with only two gigabytes.

2+2 = 4 :eek:
To answer your question, there are a lot of lower end phones with less than 8 GB of storage :(

QHD display and 3GB of RAM aren't necessary. 1080p and 2GB is more than enough.
Qualcomm said the 805 wouldn't be ready until Q4, so Idk why people were expecting that. The 801 is still faster than anything else on the market.

ah, for some reason I saw 4 and 4. I've always been bad at math. ;) but I guess that's true. I do remember my LG Optimus S and I think it had like 656 mgb of storage. :/

My previous phone had 2GB of storage I think, and less than 1 available for apps :-\
