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

Costly

Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S5 is part of the Galaxy Line of smartphone. A lot has been stated about Samsung latest flagship device. Samsung has done a lot to improve what they did with the Galaxy S4 from last year. What you have to consider is that this is not an...
The Galaxy S5 is a bit like a Corvette - if you can get past the plastic and the stigma (TouchWiz), it really is a great high-end smartphone. Well, it isn't as pretty as a Corvette I suppose. Well, maybe as pretty as a C4.After spending a couple of wee...
Abstract: It's that time of year again and Samsung's latest flagship device, the Galaxy S5 , is now on retail shelves around the globe. As a previous owner of the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4, it was only a matter of time (and not much of that) before I got my hands on ...
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is by all means a perfectly good smartphone. This isn't a major reinvention of the previous year's model, though. While the display is out-of-this-world good, the rest just sort of feels somewhat unremarkable. The camera is good, ...

TouchWiz is bloated and sloppy, Fingerprint reader and heart rate monitor are useless, Feels cheaper than other flagships
The Samsung Galaxy S5 brings top-of-the-line performance and more functionality than any other phone out there. However, its cheap build and messy software keep it from attaining the highs of rival flagships....
Abstract: Vodafone UK have kindly sent me a Galaxy S5 – in fancy Copper Gold no less – and I've been using it for the last week or so. As someone who is pretty keen on photography, how good a smartphone's camera performs is important to me. I might own a Nexus 5 da...
Spectacular screen. Super-fast Wi-Fi and LTE performance. Excellent camera. Water-resistant.
All-plastic design. Bloatware. No Download Booster
As Samsung continues to refine its flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S5 is better than ever. It's the most powerful phone you can buy, and is a lock for our Editors' Choice on Verizon....
