Flatten the screen/display completely and end all the horror stories regarding tempered glass screen protectors and tapered edges all over.
Excessive, preloaded apps and bloatware that one never ever uses to be completely removed. Probably replace Touchwiz too while keeping the functionality of the pen.
Major complaints regarding speaker. Audio is terribly distorted and crackly at any volume above 75% . Also audio gets muted by more than 50% when the handset is placed flat on table.
The audio/music quality (playback of high bit rate, lossless quality tracks) makes one wonder if anyone in Samsung’s R&D has heard the audio quality in HTC One (M8) or the Boomsound speakers in the latest HTC, Sony and LG handsets. Incidentally, the top-selling, premium handset in china, Viz., BBK's Vivo Xplay 3S packs state-of-the-art audio chips including ESS Technology's ES9018 DAC and Texas Instruments' OPA2604 amplifier. In addition, the phone has DTS too! A headphone output of 0.96 and loudspeaker loudness of 79DB is bare minimum nowadays in high-end smart phones.
Consider having an S master amp (like the Walkman Z or high end Sony handsets) or some other audio amp that automatically activates when a headphone is inserted. (Temp solution is to use PoweAmp app on Android. It has a built in amp)
Instead of a single rear speaker, stereo speakers are badly needed on the sides or at the bottom. Or front end, stereo speakers like in the Sony Xperia Z2.
Need Smart Video feature wherein Video pauses automatically when phone detects eyes are not looking at the screen. The LG G2 has this unique and pretty useful feature.
Finally, extremely disappointing to note that HD video cannot be played in the built-in Youtube app. Shocking discovery considering it is a 4G handset!
