Samsung makes the highest quality phones on the market today, but really who cares about a 64 bit processor? Forget about the fact that this phone won't have 4 GB of memory, a phone multitasking enough to require over 4 GB of memory would drain its battery in minutes.
What I would like to see in the S5 is 64 GB, 128 GB, and 256 GB storage options. Why are we seeing the same storage options from five years ago, especially considering the OS takes up so much more space today.?

The bigger issue with camera implementation in a smart phone is less the camera quality and more fast access to the camera. Cameras buttons should be mandatory and should bypass screen lock and needs to load instantly...
You're an idiot. Maybe 1% of smart phone buyers would want such a feature and you want to make it mandatory? Mandatory? Where are you from, North Korea?
Go buy an actual camera retard.
It is unfortunate that you are choosing to be so abusive, as you do bring some interesting talking points...

I find that a bit subjective, particularly from owners of HTC and Nokia and Apple products who seem to think their phones are pretty much of the same, if not better quality. If you are referring to features, Samsung does seem to try to put the most into their flagship phones, often at the expense of something like screen technology choice, but that is mostly personal preference. Product differentiation is good. My big problem with Samsung phones is that anything other than their top-tier flagship phones are of low quality in terms of both build and optimization. They tend to be slow, unnecessarily handicapped, and a bit of a burden to use. Not everyone wants an unlocked $500+ phone, or a 2 year contract.

It might. Android has proven to be the least memory efficient OS of the current big 3, and 4 gigs of RAM plus might be a good remedy to that. There are other advantages to 64bit addressing beyond just memory in terms of how virtual memory is handled and the apps might be coded. As the old saying goes: You will never need more than 640k of memory...

I don't disagree. This has been a huge disappointment for me ever since the 1st flash-based iPods came out. I was always waiting for that 128 gigger to replace my 40 gigger... Never really happened, and certainly not affordability. To say nothing of phones that have no SD expansion and have more than just music on it... Apps, photos, videos, etc... They need options with more memory, even if the price is insane...

First off, 99% of statistics are made up on the spot...
With that said:
With your mentality, why have anything other than a phone on your cell phone in the 1st place?
Want a GPS? GET A DEDICATED GPS!
Want a web browser? GET A DEDICATED TABLET WITH DATA!
Want to be able to text? GET A 2-WAY PAGER!!!
Want to listen to music/watch video? GET A PMP!
Seriously, the whole idea of the smartphone is a way to carry less devices to do more things as those things need to happen... I love that phone companies are trying to differentiate by providing better features. they can't seem do differentiate on much else, as your hand is only so big, batter chemistry is only so advanced, and as of right now, everybody is using the same SoC for their processors(s).
There is another saying: The best camera is the one you have on you. I have a dedicated camera. It is awesome because it takes good pictures, has good focus, is reasonably small, and it is both water and shock resistant... Things most phones are not. But I'd rather have a phone that does all of these things, particularly since my phone is always on and on me anyways, whereas my camera is only on me some times, and usually off.
Why mandatory? First off, nobody is talking about a government mandate. That is just silly. I am talking about a required spec from either Google, Microsoft or Apple, requiring a dedicated camera button on their phones. This isn't some crazy idea... They already require certain types of CPUs, screens, minimum and maximum RAM requirements to install their OSs... A dedicated camera button on a phone that works as soon as you press it, and goes into a sandbox environment as not to hurt your phone's security (I'll leave that to the OS developers to handle the edge cases). But I always have my phone on me. It is always on anyways. My current phone has great battery life and quick charge (Lumia 521). My data is always automatically backed up to the cloud, in case my phone is lost/stolen/destroyed (unlike my last waterproof camera that is now at the bottom of a river) and is a good enough camera that it is what I capture pictures of my family's most precious moments more often than not...
