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

Abstract: After spending several days using the new Samsung Galaxy S5, I'm generally impressed but not overjoyed. It's a solid phone and an incremental improvement over last year's Galaxy S4 but it's not a game changer.Still, there are some features worth mentionin...
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 ...
Better than before, but not the bestThis year's Galaxy S5 flagship brings some significant design changes to the series, while seeing Samsung continue its strategy of loading ever more features into the mix. It's fitting, then, that the phone feels like a...
A tie? Blasphemy!In all honesty it's a pretty telling conclusion: both phones are great, include some awesome features, but have their flaws. Their pros and cons come in different areas, making each phone suitable for different types of people.Personally,...
Abstract: Odds are, you've heard of Samsung's Galaxy phones. How could you not? The company spends billions marketing its brand and making sure it's as synonymous with smartphones as Domino's is with pizza. Samsung Galaxy S5 But advertising alone isn't a reason ...
The Galaxy S5 delivers solid evolutionary changes over last year's generation. This is the name of the game in the smartphone space now. Smartphones have become powerful enough that the days of 100% speed boost or revolutionary changes are mostly behind u...

is that this is easily one of the better cameras you'll find on a smartphone. It has loads of features, but it's also easy to just pick up, shoot, and come out with a pretty darn good shot (even if that takes a little longer than I'd like to get there). ...
Stunning display, removable battery, microSD card slot, fingerprint scanner that works well, very good camera with 4K video recording
Still plastic, TouchWiz is improved but still walks all over Android
Samsung, like Apple, is a juggernaut and by reputation, repeat buyers and feature list alone we all know that Samsung will sell many million GS5 phones. Though you could call it an incremental upgrade, it does bring a few new features--for example the...
Abstract: Samsung has bumped up the camera on the galaxy S5 to a 16MP shooter, with an ultra-fast focus with great capture speed. Without going further into tech spec jargon of what the camera can do; let me briefly tell you what's in with the S5 camera. The S5 16M...
