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

Abstract: It isn't even the end of the year yet and already many of us are predicting features for the next smartphones and devices that haven't even been announced yet. This includes the Samsung Galaxy S5 which already has many rumours saying that it could have a ...
Samsung Galaxy 5 is a good budget smartphone running on Android OS. There are a few shortcomings here but it is totally acceptable considering the affordable price. The small display and the small resolution are the only two things that I am sceptical abo...

Two Thumbs Up!Everything considered, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a good step up from the Galaxy S4. It's better both on the hardware and software sides and the accessory ecosystem is just fantastic! That said, you will need to invest on the accessories as we...

What we liked best about the Samsung Galaxy S5 is its gorgeous display—and that's quite a big thing, given that this part of the phone is where our faces are stuck for hours as we do our mobile things. Boost in performance is to be expected of a sequel de...
Very fast, relatively stable network speeds, Ultra power saving mode, Dust and water resistant, Bright and vivid display,
Fingerprint scanner is slow and inconsistent, Camera does not have builtin optical image stabililzation
It is not surprising that Samsung is the dominant player in the Android ecosystem. With the Galaxy S5's superior hardware and feature-rich functionalities, there is no doubt that it will continue to top sales charts. And while it does not elicit the “wow...

Would we recommend this phone? If you are a Samsung Galaxy S3 or S2 user, we think its about time that you get the S5. If you are using an iPhone, please do get the S5. A bigger screen is always a plus. If you are using a Sony Xperia Z1 or Z2 and the LG G...
Powerful hardware, Impressive display quality, Great camera quality & performance, Fingerprint scanner, Water and dust resistance, Kitkat out of the box, Long battery life
Quite expensive, Same old, boring design
The Galaxy S5 is definitely bigger, faster and meaner than any of its predecessors. Samsung has refined its custom UI to make look remotely different from Android and they've done it pretty well. The loads of features and functions are a mixed bag of both...
