How well does AL run on it? I'm thinking of buying one in the near future.
I play on s4 and it's godlike. Plus the graphics are amazing

I would imagine the S4 and S5 run very well. The HTC One is great as well, However, I take preference to my Nexus 7s (gen 1 and gen 2)
S4 is good
S5 is better. When someone call it's just a little pop up that doesn't cover the whole screen.
I just upgraded my s4 to s5 love it. And yes calls come in a small pop up that dont interfere with game play or dc you. Graphics are crisper and the game runs smoother.
New Samsung and HTC phones have GREAT graphic cards & processors. The game will run very nicely and smoothly.
I often see people complaining about the shadow veil glitch causing 'lag.' Well, that isn't lag. That's a person's device being junk and can't display the graphics properly, this causing the choppy feel that is similar to lag. Fortunately, I have a real phone that never has any issues because of "too much graphics."
I don't know what you'll be upgrading from, but if it's old, you're going to love playing on an Galaxy S5. If you're coming from an iPhone, you're going to want to punch yourself in the face for ever gaming on one of those. In terms of specs, an iPhone 5 is on the same level as...an Android smart phone WITH a slide out keyboard...when the Galaxy S3 was brand new! I kid you not. That's how weak the processor of an iPhone 5 is. lol
No issues here on Note 2 w/9800mah battery. ; p
The iphone s5 has the best gpu as far as verizon goes in the us. Next to that is the note 3, the htc one m8, and the s5 all use the same gpu i believe. A friend of mine suggested that the htc may be the best gaming choice due to the heat dispurtion of the aluminum unibody but i am happy with the s5 for sure.
Thanks for the info guys!
Idk about u guys but i own galaxy s4 ( exynos octa core version)..... What i noticed is that phone gets extremely hot when playing game for 30mins +
So hot that it becomes uncomfortable to hold it.. Same goes with my frnds galaxy s5..
I would recommend a good dual core phone for this game, like 1.5-2.0 ghz dual core and amoled screen ( looks amazing) rather than octa core beasts..
s5 For the Win! Baby!
No, you're mistaken.Quote:

A huge handicap of android is that they keep releasing crazy fast CPUs and people buy it up! Here's the thing though: you don't need that much power for 32 bit applications. What they do miss out on is the GPU power which is shockingly lacking in most android devices.
Do not even get me started on the heat generated by these phones because of the ridiculous CPU clock speeds. Have I mentioned to compensate for the weaker GPUs, that is why the higher CPU speeds exist? That's why your phone gets ridiculously hot. You're overworking both the GPU and the CPU. With apple devices, that is not the case as the GPU can handle much of the grunt work required.
So, for gaming in terms of graphics, iDevices win. The S5's GPU is barely better than the 5S...almost to the point where you would not notice. Isn't that a bit of a joke when comparing a phone that was just released to a phone that has been out for over a year? Then once again, Apple will release yet another iPhone that will blow the other smartphones out of the water in terms of gaming.

works fine and great on quad core Note 3 with 5.7" super amoled screen and 3gb ram no over heating and good on the eyes
That has the Adreno 330 (which is slightly better than the 5S's GPU) and more efficient heat dissipation than phones. As a fablet, I don't think it qualifies for the issues that the S4 and S5 have.Quote:

And it was awesomeeee !!
Quadcore 1.6 Ghz let me experiences smooth detailed graphics especially on dark dungeon like hauntlet, wt, kt, km
The only disadvantage are battery life (from 100% to 15% equal to 30-40x fast runs on km3)
Great phone, i love my s5 xD. But i love the features like air view, which doesn't have a sense but are funny most xD
But there is never a lag, only if wlan connection is bad
I'm really tempted to type a long comparison, but I doubt many people would read it. Furthermore, those who would read it woulkd have already known everything I wrote. And, each would respawn "yes and that is why <x> is better," regardless of their preference because of how different they two types of devices are.
Below is a more blunt way of putting it.
Apple:
-Easy to use.
-Built to be a phone, not a computer.
-High end graphics.
-Well protected.
Android (Linux):
-Difficult for some to use.
-Highly adaptable.
-High processing and RAM (usually).
-In some ways, unprotected from certain viruses.
I don't usually bother with the virus argument. Both devices can be crippled by a Trojan. As for the adaptability issue, yes you can argue it doesn't matter since phones are relatively weak compared to real computers. There is no "right" choice per say, it is all opinions.
Can I ask you a simple question? Have you own both devices for extended periods? Android IS easier to use. The back button is God sent. The multi tasking is superior. And if you only want phone functions, best go buy a non camera phone from 7-11.Quote:

Ehhh. We all have our opinions and reasons for liking what we use. Let's not let this thread turn into yet another Apple vs Android argument, which are oh so common on other (biased) forums. Those "discussions" never get anywhere.
To chime in for the OP, I love playing on my Note 3, so you'll probably like gaming on the S5. I've not used an S5 in person, but I'm sure it's a good piece of equipment.
I personally play on a Kindle Fire HDX and its great...
Nearly all current gen smartphones will run the game including the S5 as long as they are running android / ios. The bottleneck will not be the gpu/cpu in most cases but the wireless connection.
Things to consider are the form factor / size. Some people have larger thumbs and require bigger screens to be comfortable. Some people like larger bezels, some do not. Some people accidentally and constantly hit the home button due to layouts. Best to test in person if you can and go with your own opinion of devices.
Yes, they will run the game for the time being but over time, they will grow more laggy. Example: N7 played AL butter smooth. Now? It lags after the graphic upgrades.Quote:

Linux can be updated and hardware easily expanded to improve longevity. This is especially true for pure Google products such as those under the Nexus label.Quote:

Not to mention several wireless providers offer yearly and/or bi-yearly upgrades. Moore's Law also says processing will double every two years (a notable leap is made aproximentally 1.5 years into this 2 year period). Thus, a top of the line 2014 device will remain relevant through 2016 whereupon you can upgrade devices. I upgrade every two years and only see issues in the week(s) to at most month before I finally upgrade devices.
Unless you are planning to keep your mobile device for more than 4 years, apple has no strategic advantage in avoiding lag in games. Even then, apple products (notably the Iphone3 which is comparable to the original HTC Evo) can have processing issues before their android rivals based on how far ahead it was at the time of release. Though rare, the iphone3 is a prime example.
In my opinion, you shouldn't buy an apple product just because you think it will last longer do to a better GPU. But yes, you are technically buying a better image. Processing versus Graphics.
Oh im sticking by android 100%. I'm not a very big fan of Apple as a company, and i have Steve Jobs to blame for that (i feel as though it's ran by chauvinistic bigots). I also feel limited when i use apple devices (even though i've only used an iPad).Quote:

And as for Apple having better gaming devices that is only true for games specifically developed for the iPhone/iPad. In the case with AL which is developed to cross multiple platforms it is highly unlikely that it remotely utilizes all the ability an iOS device has to offer. The same goes for the top android phones as well.
Nah, I was kidding. To be honest it was a good time killer. Only complaint is my background looks like trash in the screen shot, lol. It is a live background which loops through certain parts of the universe in a repeating loop. I just happened to catch it at the beginning where it is all black and doesn't have any cool nebulas, quasars, or galaxies.Quote:

Hmm, for my n7, AL now lags along with my Kindle Fire HD...even after a factory reset. Isn't the GPU on the note 1 better or am I mistaken?Quote:
