Headbutting the iphone 6 with a 720p phone ? Yeah right !
If sammy wants to play against iphone 6 then these should be the specs of Galaxy S5 Premium.
1. QUAD HD SUPER AMOLED
2. Snapdragon 805
3. Android L
4. 3500+ mAh battery
5. A security feature that actually works. Something like a finger print scanner which does it job perfectly.
6. Completely overhauled touchwiz.
7. Metallic or a much premium plastic material for its body. Something like the Nokia Lumia phones or like millions of Chinese premium phones like, oppo, one plus xiaomi etc.
8. A much better designed phone. Sammy has been following the same design for its galaxy series since the beginning. Who wouldn't like a change?
9. OIS camera with full hd slow motion.
10. 5 mega pixel wide angle front camera.
11. VOOC charger
12. Water and Dust resistant could be an option.
13. Extremely thin bezels.

I know i know this is samsung and all these will remain only in my dreams. Still it would be nice if sammy incorporates these tech in the Galaxy F or Prime or whatever they name it.

This post is moronic on so many levels. I won't get into details but I'll let you figure it out with a question. Although I doubt you could.

If the main iPhone 6 specs are nowhere near your list and they are not. Why does Samsung need those specs in order to compete with the iPhone 6?

70. gehrig (Posts: 375; Member since: 17 Apr 2014)

Because the iPhone 6 has optimization and a rabid fan base.

How could be iPhone competitor to Note4??? Have you lost your mind?

Im very sure you are an idiot if u cant understand how iphone competitor to note 4 wait for sales you dumb, wait and see how iphone owns every phone. deal with it

I think he is trying to point out that a device with (mostly likely) 4.7 inch screen is not in direct competition with a device of 5.7 (or more) inch screen which is a phablet category.

A buyer who wants a huge display would not even consider iPhone and vice versa.

Sales ≠ Competition. Nor does higher sales mean a better phone.

considering that there is no new phone from samsung for september only note 4 remains to competition ( unless samsung wont release new phone on september) ppl always wants to buy new devices. if the 4 inch iphone can compete with other 5+ inches flagships then 4.7 inch iphone can do it against note 4 or vice versa.

you must be dumb yourself i have seen the reactions of the people on youtube to the ip 6 dummy phone most thought it was real and the guy had to tell them no its fake, alot thought it was a samsung phone, some did not like the size, thinking it would fall out of the pocket wow just wow, then the ones that said yes its apple i have everything apple the tablet the mac pro and the iphone, so you will have sales but not what you think unless they take more from android like nfc, hd screen big screens bigger battery and we know thats not happening and many other things

wait and see ... ppl always complain about iphone but it sells crazy. if you think iphone wont sell based on youtube video you must be dumb yourself

I don't argue if iphone 6 will outsell Note4(or not).
Just wanna tell you than Note is much more than large phone.
(and don't think that there is "phablet" category-the menial media invent that ugly word since first 5" phone come)

58. gehrig (Posts: 375; Member since: 17 Apr 2014)

Lots of people will buy the iPhone 5.5 inch and lots of people will buy the Note 4. Competition.

Who told you that is meant for that???

8. ihavenoname (Posts: 1693; Member since: 18 Aug 2013)

I wonder how Samsung will market it, I mean they already have shrunken down GS5.

49. engineer-1701d (unregistered)

i think they will make fun of the battery again and screen something like look i got the new ip6 its got a bigger screen as he is plugging into the wall in coffee shop then old lady walks behind falls over the cord guy is like my phone, and the other guy looks up at him from his note or gs5 and says should have made a bigger battery. lol
and then the guy handing out coffee the the barrister from the gs3,

i would love it if its the kid from the google movie intern, he was the kid in the line on the first commercial.

click on "Expand". You see all of those phones under the iPhone 5S? They are the ones taking up the wall sockets in Starbucks while charging their phones.

That's for sure, I'll be getting the iPhone before I get this.

34. Iodine (Posts: 1395; Member since: 19 Jun 2014)

Its not competing with the iPhone, it's an iPhone copycat. Samsung and everyone other is thinking that the iPhone 6 will not have an 1080p display, so why should samsung go that high.

57. naittosan (Posts: 234; Member since: 28 Jun 2014)

Then they probably are not going to use the 805 procceser either.

What the bloody hell are you talking about? The Galaxy J was a high end device launched only for the Japanese and Taiwanese markets... Plus it's not even full aluminium...

21. The-Sailor-Man (banned) (Posts: 1095; Member since: 25 Mar 2014)

"Full aluminium" can not function.
Go and see the specs of Galaxy J and compare them with S4, iboy.
And who told you for which markets is this Alpha???LOL

24. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)

Are you on drugs? J has 5 inch Full HD display, 3 GB RAM, SD800, 13 mpx camera... Here's the linkhttp://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_j-5887.php

Did I ever talk about Alpha's markets? I said that J was for Japan and Taiwan...

BTW I'm not an iBoy.

dont mind him he has no brain lol

29. ArtSim98 (Posts: 3535; Member since: 21 Dec 2012)

Seems to be so xD Or maybe he just doesn't know how to use it. He should look for an operations manual.
