What you guys think about the Galaxy s5 Prime, rumours have it that samsung is releasing a parent version to the s5. Thinking about waiting for this for my next upgrade....the current s5 doesn't impress me. Release date is rumoured to be in May.

Great. Why they not releasing the premium first then the low end? *awaits the s5 mini, s5 dual sim.*
IMO Samsung releasing too many similar phones! If they had a note 3 IP67 certified version, all their other phones would be meaningless! Including the s5!

What's so great about the S5 prime anyways. What sets it apart?

[iamblessed]

I wanted to know what do you guys think of the Sony xperia z??? Is it a good buy etc...

For real eh...
All those hundreds of millions of people living on less than $5usd a day would finally just upgrade to that $700usd phone and stop wasting time with Samsung's less expensive alternatives.

Makes sense bro!

Rumour has it that it might be totally different from the S line, it may be referred to the F line, since it may have an aluminum body, the CEO denies all claims against the S5 Prime, but that could be to help prevent sales drop on the current s5 because people will want to wait for the parent version....only way to be sure is to wait an see....idk what my upgrade will be lol...

Better ram(3gb), processor (qualcomm 805) , gpu(adreno 420), storage (25gb), 2k 5.2" display, rumored aluminum body, if this is waterproof, I will definitely be getting this...

I understand their motive is to offer consumers (from a low income bracket) more affordable versions of each but just consider if this S5 prime really coming out how current s5 owners feeling about that? It's starting to look like dynasty warriors, could swear a new one coming out every month!

[nervewrecker]

I just realised the nexus 4 pics are .png format. Is there anyway to batch convert them on the phone or a whole new camera app that takes .jpg photos?

Im trying to not have to take them off the phone to a pc for converting and put them back on the phone.

[S_2NR]

What's wrong with .png format?

[nervewrecker]

It picks up more space.

Quality is not a priority in the pics. Onlt for these next few weeks.

Just don't be an apple fan

[ismithx]

got fed up today and installed CM11. the stock rom on my xperia m was getting super laggy, and I couldn't take it. CM11 on the other hand is so much smoother and has so much more customizability!


ps: is it just me or google chrome is consuming a ridiculous amount of system resources these days? It honestly crawling to level worse than internet explorer somtimes

[speedist]

Ent! I thought it was my s4 fuggin up. But I used another one and performance is same. Updates possibly bogging chrome down? Still find the HTC one kicks more ass.
Edit: friend of mine got an htc one for sale. Pm me for info. She on whatsapp.

[ismithx]

yeah... even my computer is slowing down as well.... I honestly have to close my web browser to game smoothly... that has never happened in the past.

Looks relevant to the mobile handsets. Wonder what it would mean for the tablet line though.
