TouchWiz is still awful
There's too much packed in

Creaky design
Cumbersome software
Slow background defocus
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
The Galaxy S5 costs significantly more than rival top-rated handsets
Australians are given virtually no control over customizing their handset
Battery life needs work
The occasional slow down tends to rear its head in the worst possible way
Better than before, but not the bestThis year's Galaxy S5 flagship brings some significant design changes to the series, while seeing Samsung continue its strategy of loading ever more features into the mix. It's fitting, then, that the phone feels like a...
A tie? Blasphemy!In all honesty it's a pretty telling conclusion: both phones are great, include some awesome features, but have their flaws. Their pros and cons come in different areas, making each phone suitable for different types of people.Personally,...

is that this is easily one of the better cameras you'll find on a smartphone. It has loads of features, but it's also easy to just pick up, shoot, and come out with a pretty darn good shot (even if that takes a little longer than I'd like to get there). ...
Stunning display, removable battery, microSD card slot, fingerprint scanner that works well, very good camera with 4K video recording
Still plastic, TouchWiz is improved but still walks all over Android
Samsung, like Apple, is a juggernaut and by reputation, repeat buyers and feature list alone we all know that Samsung will sell many million GS5 phones. Though you could call it an incremental upgrade, it does bring a few new features--for example the...
Abstract: Samsung has bumped up the camera on the galaxy S5 to a 16MP shooter, with an ultra-fast focus with great capture speed. Without going further into tech spec jargon of what the camera can do; let me briefly tell you what's in with the S5 camera. The S5 16M...

Amazing, bestinmarket screen, Weatherproofing is a hugely valuable addition, Among most powerful and consistent performers, Strong battery life with additional battery saving modes, Finger Scanner and Heart Monitor are fun additions that add zero bulk
Software options can be overwhelming and scattered, Tinny and subpar audio when played at high volumes, Camera is inconsistent in less than optimal conditions
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is an impressive upgrade to an already great phone. On paper, Samsung has improved their offering in nearly every area imaginable. Aside from packing a more powerful punch in a similarly slender frame, the S5 improves both performanc...
Abstract: Samsung's Galaxy S5 Android phone follows a very popular predecessor, but the latest version doesn't stand out in a sea of thoughtfully designed competitors.Odds are, you've heard of Samsung's Galaxy phones. How could you not? The company spends billions ...
