Pricing will be key. If cutting the fluff allows them to price it at least $100 less than the iPhone 6, it could be a re-run of late 2012 with the S3's impact.


Yes, absolutely.

Conversely, if Samsung doesnt cut the price of the S5, then the competitive environment is going to be substantially better than I would have expected.
Personally, I like what Samsung has done with the S5, but it is going to be difficult to overcome the initial disappointment of many customers. The iPhone 5C received reasonably good reviews but it never overcame the initial reaction from consumers that it was too expensive.

It appears the S5 will run faster than the iPhone 6 and beat in a number of other areas, too.

The chip is a slightly faster version of the Snapdragon 800 that shipped last summer. The 801 looks basically like a stopgap to the 805 which will is supposed to ship later in the 1st half. That's a bit odd since I considered the 805 to basically be a holdover until Qualcomm announced/shipped a 20nm application processor with a new architecture.
