Battery life is fantastic. The pared-pack look of the software is a definite improvement. The screen is absolutely lovely. The dimpled back panel makes the phone much less likely to slide out of your hand or off of your leg. IP67 waterproofiness should be

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
Weatherproof and Water Resistance
Software options can be overwhelming
4G LTE support is desirable when 4G is about to be rolled out
Design could have gone beyond where it is now

Slow, inconsistent LTE connection, Inconsistent fingerprint sensor, Cumbersome USB port flap door
Samsung's Galaxy S5 offers an excellent display, solid performance and a superior camera in a water-resistant shell, but its 4G performance is lacking....
Abstract: I dropped Samsung's Galaxy S5 in a glass of water as soon as I got it. Not out of malice or clumsiness. I was just eager to test the water-resistant case.And, yes, it emerged from the glass of water just fine.The Galaxy S5 may look a lot like last year's ...
Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S5 isn't a major upgrade on the GS4, but it has enough improvements to strongly recommend it to Samsung fans. Introducing the Samsung Galaxy S5 in February at the Mobile World Congress trade show, Samsung CEO JK Shin said that the co...

IP67 ingress protection, Outstanding, adaptable display, Excellent camera performance in good light, satisfactory performance underwater, Impressive specifications, Improved user interface
Industrial design doesn't live up to “glam” messaging, Software still looks, feels half-baked, Poor camera performance in low light, Features like fingerprint scanner, Ultra Power Saving under-deliver,
The Galaxy S5 was supposed to change things. It was supposed to be the dawn of a new age for Samsung: a product lighter on gimmicks and heavier on real improvements, from a company newly focused on listening to its customers. This is not that device. ...
Abstract: Honestly, a walkover for the Galaxy S5, but anything different would've been a massive surprise. Scratch that - a letdown. The gap between release dates has seen these two flagships on either end of a seesaw - and it's LG's turn to touch the floor. No...

Beautiful machined aluminum with a gorgeous finish, Five colors match various S5s, Looks and feels great in the hand, Adds surprisingly little bulk or weight
When the Nokia Lumia 1520 first launched here in the US through AT&T, it astounded us with its aggressive $100 on-contract cost – giving it plenty of value for the buck. Strangely enough, after looking at its existing offering through the carrier, it h...
Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S5 comes packed with the new Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of Ram 16GB storage and a 5-inch 1080p display. All primed for mobile gaming greatness for your average daily gamer, the Galaxy S5 brings a lot to the table and more. We tested ...
Samsung took the Galaxy S5 in the right direction. The GS4 was so clogged with features - half of which felt like gimmicks - that it was overwhelming. The GS5 stripped out the GS4's flabby functions and left the best ones intact. The hardware is the best ...
