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

Abstract: Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone is here and it does not come cheap at Rs 51,500 in India for the Exynos octa-core variant. Let's find out if the S5 is worth its money. The phone sports a 5.1 inch Super AMOLED display with Corning 3 coating that makes it stur...
Abstract: We were a little wary of comparing a phone with a phablet, but the lines are so blurred these days the distinction is quite arbitrary. Certainly as things grow bigger, each extra millimeter has less of an impact. Still, some will prefer the more compa...

Overall the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a good flagship device. Whether or not it’s worth upgrading to depends on what phone you are using and what exactly you are looking for in an upgrade. For example a user of the S4 might not see the S5 as being a signifi...

Not so good build, Little overpriced
We really enjoyed using Samsung Galaxy S5 and all of its features. They aren't just for namesake and don't think they are too much to handle. The revamped interface gives you all the power and rather the leverage to use them as intuitively as you can. And...

Design seems very outdated, Low graphics performance on benchmarks, Materials used are of low quality, TouchWiz UI needs a bit more polishing
The new update for the Galaxy S device does come with some amazing new features and apps, an overhauled UI and a decent upgrade in hardware. The design is not appealing though and the materials used clearly prove that Samsung is trying to save up on its c...
There's a good reason why the Samsung Galaxy S5 is so popular. Underneath the high price and plastic body lies a very good smartphone that has come a long way from the initial days of the Galaxy S. Compared to its predecessor, the S5 is an evolutionary up...
