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
Doesn't look premium
Gaudy UI
Noticeable lag at some places
Uncomfortable for singlehanded use
Expensive
Not so good build
Little overpriced
Still plastic retains value
Looks and same design
Design seems very outdated
Low graphics performance on benchmarks

Looks the same
BloatedSoftware
High price point
Poor battery performance
No real use of heart rate monitor
No real use of fingerprint scanner
No capability to add widgets on lock screen

Abstract: Sing when you're winning, they say. Certainly Samsung is sticking to the same tune, when you see how it has barely altered anything in its latest Galaxy S5.If last year's Galaxy S4 seemed like a repeat of the same formula that has propelled the company to...
In our eyes, there is absolutely no contest. The Xperia Z2 is a far better device than the S5. A better display, design, battery life, camera, UI and a better IP68 protection that has been proven to work.The S5 does have the fingerprint sensor, and a fast...
Abstract: When Samsung launched the Galaxy S4 last year, we found many of its software features to be innovative, but ultimately gimmicky and unnecessary for the majority of people. Samsung seems to recognize that many felt the same way, and for the S5, has re-focu...
