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

Camera found wanting in low lighting conditions, Look wise still looks the same old Samsung device, There's only a single SIM slot
At Rs 51,000, the Samsung Galaxy S5 isn't the costliest handset around but it is definitely the fastest. I won't call it the best camera phone in the market but it is one of the best in terms of battery, storage, and connectivity. Samsung has also worked ...

Samsung's Galaxy S5 might be the best evidence yet that smartphone development has plateaued (Also see: Peak Smartphone Theory). The entire industry has arranged itself around a yearly upgrade cycle, but at this point, there just isn't any compelling reas...
The handset is powerful and comes with finger print scanner and with an impressive camera. Battery life is decent enough. Screen quality is superb. The biggest disappointment with Galaxy S5 in India was its price tag. It was launched at a price of Rs. 51,...
The Samsung Galaxy S5's has taken most people by surprise, because of its Rs. 51,500 price tag. This kind of pricing was generally given to fad phones like the HTC One Max or LG G Flex. The normal consumer's price allowance reaches a limit at Rs. 45,000, ...

The answer depends on how important battery life and photo quality are to you. If your answer is "very," then yes, you should buy it. The camera is way better than the HTC Ones, and the battery life is way better than the Nexus 5. From there, you just ha...
Abstract: Read the full review of the Galaxy S5 at Greenbot.com.The Galaxy S5 is just a bit wider than its predecessor and the dimpled backing has a bit of grip to it so it won't slip out of your hand. There's also a handy one-handed mode that shrinks the interface...
The Galaxy S5 is an improvement over the GS4, but it's not the same big leap that the Galaxy S4 was over the Galaxy S III: It's an all-around great phone, albeit one with shortcomings.With the Galaxy S5 arriving in the U.S. at the same time as the HTC One...
