While the software has gotten better
It's still well behind HTC's in terms of user-friendliness
And it's miles away from Motorola's and stock Android. There's just too much lag to be forgivable in a phone with so much horsepower under the hood. S Health
Limited to 3G
Costly
Small upgrade over the Galaxy S4

Fantastic screen, Still one of the best cameras around, Now updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop, Update has improved fingerprint sensor, Better battery life than S6, Has microSD and water resistance
Not the prettiest of 2014 phones, Processor still decent, but behind the times

Updated design, Camera innovation, Cleaner UI
Too big for some, Slightly delicate, Unreliable sensors
We called the Samsung Galaxy S4 a thing of beauty and the S5 is even better. It feels better, looks better and does more than its predecessor. S Health is a great addition and a genuine alternative to other fitness and health apps out there. What's more...

During our early hands-on with the Samsung Galaxy S5, it's clear that Samsung has been listening to feedback, with the handset improving on many of the features that let us down with the Galaxy S4 - such as its cheap design, somewhat lacking camera and it...
