Are you saying the S5 will only be on Sprint in the US? If so, that's not going to happen. It'll be on all the major carriers, just as the rest of the Galaxy line is.

nope...

Lol..no.

Technically the rep is correct. The Sprint Samsung S5 will only be available on Sprint.

Obviously, the S% will be on the major US carriers. A simple search would have garnered this answer.

What are the specs of the galaxy S4? Is it better than the Galaxy Note 2?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
No offense but your friend is full of baloney
When the S3 was being worked on, a man wouldn't tell his his wife or his kids what the S3 would be like in fear of losing his job
In addition, samsung probably does all their designing of their flagships at HQ, which is korea. They also only have their top workers, and even then they made 3 galaxy S3s so that no worker would know if they were making the reall S3 or not.
Also, with many companies not even rolling out 4G LTE yet (which is pretty much 5G anyway), there is no way 5G is coming out anytime soon
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
It is already being produced which is why he has all the specs.

No. First of all, you don't live in Korea where it would be designed.
Second, since it is being released next year, they want a CPU of that generation which is not yet available, so we can't know the specs.
Third, he wouldd probably have lost his job by now since you have just told the world about it.
Fourth, any work on Samsung's flagships would be in a secret room guarded by secret people in a secret file, NOT on his computer where it could easily be hacked.
Just face it, your friend is just BSing you or trying to impress you.

Why can you not accept the fact that it is not true?
All big Samsung employees LIVE in Korea. That IS their home.
And if you knew anything about Samsung, they do NOT try to leak things. I even told you, to protect the secret of the Galaxy S3, they made 3 DIFFERENT models, and the designers thought they were making the real version when really it was one of the other 2 models. The Galaxy S3 had NO leaks because of this secrecy.
300 people? More like 30 in TOTAL. With 10 working on each phone, 20 are working on a fake phone, and 10 working on the real one. Once again, they don't know which is real or not.
And I'm going to smack the claim of 5G off too, because they don't llist specs as "4G LTE" or "5G." They would say the bands, like 900/1700/2100 MHz (that was an example).
Still don't believe me? Here's an article about Samsung regarding their S3, and how they kept it a secret.

Bigger screen? Honestly, you are being bsed and you are too stupid to admit it. 5G is technically 4g lte as he said, and the idea of a bigger screen is bogus.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I think this is hands down one of the stupidest threads I've ever seen. There isn't going to be a 5g, because 4g itself hardly exists on most carriers. And there's no way in hell it'll have a bigger screen than the note 2.

And you still have no logical argument as to why it would actually be the real S4.
Plus, I like Samsung and I'm excited for their next flagship. Just not an obvious fake. I'm not even blaming you, I'm saying your friend is baloney.

If he lives in korea, how come he comes "home" twice a year?
And Samsung would NEVER release details of the S4. They kept the S3 such a secret, if you read my article a few posts back.
And you still haven't come up with a reason why my points are invalid. All you said was he works for Samsung... well I work for Motorola and they're releasing the Motorola Atrix Bionic Droid RAZR 5G LTE GSM unlocked. Just because he works for Samsung does not mean he will know about the S4, like I know about the ABDR5GLTE

I find it rather disgusting that verizon offers you a coupon for your personal information. Google just invited our family into a similar thing but they mailed 5 real dollars. And you get a $100 gift card per month if you let them install a router in your house to track data usage.
So how does that wonderful coupon look now? And to think your info is worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars to them.
Hello and welcome to the data mining that is as old as the internet. Nothing new here other than giving you the choice to opt out.
I hope that none of the people here on their soap boxes, complaining about this ever use Facebook... they do this ALL the time and rarely let you know... let alone opt out.
If they traded whoring out your info for a discount off your bill or a upgrade in half the time that would be better than a ****ing coupon. Pricks.
Better and funnier than your tapatalk signature
I'm just shocked that people pretend to be shocked over this.

T-Mobile warranty exchange One s for NEXUS 4

So if you guys want a new phone and have T-Mobile PHP you can do a warranty exchange for a Nexus 4.
Just ordered one for my gf, $5 for a Nexus 4 is a great deal, so if I were you guys I wouldn't pass it up.

While I agree this is HILARIOUS and I'm also quite confused as to how he did that, I'm here to confirm that you absolutely can get a Nexus 4 in exchange for your One S. It's only a $5 replacement fee and its all yours. Just have to say you have some sort of problem with your phone. I'll have mine on Monday. I love my One S but its time to say goodbye.
Do you do it in store, online or over the phone?
