Best S5 Variant
Phone owned for less than a month

This phone is near-impossible to find in the EU, and costs almost 200$ more than its regular counterpart. However the Galaxy S5 LTE-A more than makes up for these cons by offering doubled screen resolution, an extra GB of RAM and an improved Snapdragon 805 chip, amongst other things. Overall, despite its scarce availability and hefty price tag, this is the most powerful Galaxy S5 variant currently available, and its state of the art hardware and software components well justify the upgrade.

Best Phone at this current time
Phone owned for less than a month

Awesome phone I just upgraded from the Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE 32GB and so far I am wrapped with the phone. Would recommend anyone in Australia who is going to purchase a S5 to get the LTE-A version. The bump up from 16GB to 32GB with an extra GB of RAM and the 2K display is well worth the upgrade.
