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
Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a technological tour de force, cramming the latest features into a 5.1-inch chassis. Sadly, although the specs may impress, it's no design classic, and it reminds us (in a bad way) of an art deco trinket. Features like a removable...

Industryleading performance. Gorgeous HD screen is best on the market. Fingerprint scanner works flawlessly. Excellent camera with huge range of features. Impressive battery life, and battery saving mode
Design feels dated with little change in two years. Rear cover and fake chrome bezel will not appear to everyone. Heart rate monitor seems to have little use
A technological tour de force, the Galaxy S5 is Samsungs best smartphone to date. Despite the negative points raised, I firmly believe this is Samsungs best ever handset. Just as Porsche’s 911 and Volkswagens Golf get better with every generation, yet...
It's not the most exciting update, but the S5 is still top dog. Whatever its flaws, Samsung continues to blaze its own trail, adding ever more features and raw horsepower to its flagship devices. Yes, the S5's plastic looks are beginning to feel very ...

Despite differences between the three camera sensors, both in terms of megapixels and pixel size, the overall images produced are very good from each of the three devices. Overall images appear brighter from the Galaxy S5 than its rival devices whilst the...
