TouchWiz is still awful
There's too much packed in
But at least lessons have been learned — Settings app is no longer the hot

The Galaxy S5 is a only small upgrade over the Galaxy S4. The fingerprint scanner can be confusing to use
And the heart-rate monitor is a niche feature at best. In some regions

When the Nokia Lumia 1520 first launched here in the US through AT&T, it astounded us with its aggressive $100 on-contract cost – giving it plenty of value for the buck. Strangely enough, after looking at its existing offering through the carrier, it h...

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 ...
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...
