iPhone users are switching to the Galaxy S5 - GSMArena.com news

There's a significant number of iFans in the UK who are fed up with waiting for an iPhone with a larger screen and have jumped ship to the Samsung Galaxy S5 as a result.
It turns out that 26% of new Samsung Galaxy S5 users have switched from the iPhone in Britain; a huge increase from the 12% new adoption rate of the previous year. The rates were lower in Europe: a 17% turnover, but the region with the highest level of Apple loyalty is the USA. In the States, only 8% of new S5 buyers were former iPhone users.

Abit bored of iPhone . First started using the 3G and all the way to iPhone 5S.

Then last year decided to try android. After one week, sold the phone and went back to iPhone .

The iOS, in my opinion, is still the most user friendly and fit for purpose op system .
 
Re: iPhone users are switching to the Galaxy S5

cant wait to return to the darkside of iphone too after using s3 and now s4. android is indeed good and flexible. but the iphone quality and ios simply cannot beat
 
Re: iPhone users are switching to the Galaxy S5

I have both Samsung and Iphone. Best of both worlds. One spoil, use the other.

I am waiting for Iphone 6 5.5" screen. Old flower eyes need bigger screen to watch porn and self shiok
 
Re: iPhone users are switching to the Galaxy S5

Other brands are catching up, so if Apple does not revolutionalise or reduce their prices, they will end up like Nokia. Just my prediction.
 
Re: iPhone users are switching to the Galaxy S5

The one mighty (and high class) Blackberry is now considered dead.

Previous giants Nokia, Motorola and Ericsson (then Sony-Ericsson) also died a slow and painful death.

Apple and Samsung a matter of time. Nothing stays on top forever. Even Kenntona has to retire one day from pole dancing
Next wave will be China phones... Redmi Xiaomi FTW!

Android is the way to go ....... They are now trying to define email RFC standards which will influence the way phones will be ....

Re: iPhone users are switching to the Galaxy S5

Sony is still best lo, go toilet can still use, shower can still use, swimming pool can still use (camera).
 
Re: iPhone users are switching to the Galaxy S5

The sony Z is bullshit.
Went into swimming pool with flaps all closed, after a few dips, went cranky and need hairdryer to save it.
Also, taking picture in water only possible using timer. Touchscreen dont work in water.
Wireless signal reciever (wifi and 3G and LTE) is lousy. Side by side with iphone and samsung, sony gets no signal, samsung and iphone have.
 
Re: iPhone users are switching to the Galaxy S5

Used every iphone till the 5.

Then I changed to android and I suddenly realised how much the world has moved on.

Everything I wished I had when I was using the iphone were all already in the android.
 
Re: iPhone users are switching to the Galaxy S5

however, the biggest problem with android and its devices is software bloat

That is part 2 of the story...

note 2 fast...

S4 more powerful but felt slower...

Then I discovered something called LG and Sony. They felt so fast for a quad core.

Want to know part 3?
 
Re: iPhone users are switching to the Galaxy S5

My LG G3 is fresh off the shelve and sitting next to my hongmi. Andriod phones are the best for workhorse type of duties.

But after 1 day, I still think Iphone has slightly better built materials. Other than this, I don't miss the iphone (yet) or until Iphone 6 comes out. To be honest, I'm one of those who get tired of waiting for iphone 6 and big screen from them. For me now, Apple is behind the curve of user friendliness. Apple has been all about product innovation for decades. Now it needs to prove that it still is or they are just product followers. Fyi, bigger screens from Andriod has been existing 2 years earlier than Iphone. Where is the innovation? Cloud? IOS? Apps? Itunes? I don't need these from Iphone. I can find them easily in any Andriod phones out there (and cheaper).

5 years ago I wouldn't put my money in Korea makes or even China. Times are different now. Their technologies have moved leaps and bounds.

You may want to try out Lg. They have less bloatware compared to Samsung.

Sony would be good because it is water resistant. Don't have to use zip-lock bag to protect your phone anymore.

The screen on Z2 is excellent especially viewing meimei pictures from NSFW. :lol:
 
Re: iPhone users are switching to the Galaxy S5

Very close to the REAL thing..... iphone 6 (2 screen sizes)
