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

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
Heart rate monitor feature is unreliable
Cluttered interface
Design is not eyecatching.Heart rate sensor inconsistent. Price on the higher side
Abstract: While the design doesn't have a very radical change, the rear has a perforated pattern for better grip. The Galaxy S5 will come in four colours other than covers in other colours.The user interface is simpler and the icons are bigger, giving the interface...
Abstract: Updated on 25th Feb 2014:Samsung has officially announced its new flagship phone the Samsung Galaxy S5 at a press event on the sidelines of MWC 2014 in Barcelona Spain on 24th Feb 2014. The phone will go on sale on 11 April 2014 worldwide in multiple mark...
Excellent screen, Capable camera, Great battery life becomes excellent with Ultra Power Saving mode, Plenty of power and storage,Water resistant, S Health suite
The Galaxy S5 is most definitely a mixed bag. On the one hand, the disgruntlement regarding the exterior design is entirely understandable; not only is it not the advancement many expected, it's actually a bit of a step back with that revolting back cov...
Even though it's been replaced several times now, the Galaxy S5 is still quite a phone. Now, at less than £150 SIM-free, it's an awful lot of handset for the price - especially if the Gear 2, Gear Fit or heartbeat sensor are of particular interest to you...

There are some key differences. The plastic panel at the rear has changed from gloss to soft touch, there are new colours to choose from – including a dubious-looking gold – and Samsung has bumped up the screen to 5.1in. Visit: the best Android phones of...

Things haven't changed much from the Galaxy S4 but Samsung, as usual, has packed the Galaxy S5 with features. However, a lot are somewhat unnecessary. The heart rate monitor is a prime example and while the fingerprint scanner is cool, it's difficult to u...
Abstract: Samsung is widely considered to have swung and missed in 2014 with the Galaxy S5 smartphone . Despite featuring a wealth of what were top-end components, many buyers felt that the Galaxy S5 was slightly dull and contained too much gimmicky bloatware. As...
Abstract: That's probably because the 2014 Galaxy S5 didn't do as well as Samsung had hoped, shipping 40 percent fewer units than the firm had expected , and allowing Apple to become the world's top smartphone manufacturer after four years of trying ....
Ugly, screen has issues with color accuracy and grayscale banding, poor NAND performance
