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
Excellent display and touch feedback, Offers good overall performance, Fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor work well, Good camera with 4K video recording support, Water and dust resistant
Design seems very outdated, Low graphics performance on benchmarks, Materials used are of low quality, TouchWiz UI needs a bit more polishing
The new update for the Galaxy S device does come with some amazing new features and apps, an overhauled UI and a decent upgrade in hardware. The design is not appealing though and the materials used clearly prove that Samsung is trying to save up on its c...
There's a good reason why the Samsung Galaxy S5 is so popular. Underneath the high price and plastic body lies a very good smartphone that has come a long way from the initial days of the Galaxy S. Compared to its predecessor, the S5 is an evolutionary up...

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
Display, The Samsung Galaxy S5 comes with a 5.1 inch touchscreen. This Super AMOLED display has huge full HD (1920x1080 pixels) resolution which means it has very good 432 ppi pixel density. The touchscreen is one of the best in the industry, reproducing
Camera found wanting in low lighting conditions, Look wise still looks the same old Samsung device, There's only a single SIM slot
At Rs 51,000, the Samsung Galaxy S5 isn't the costliest handset around but it is definitely the fastest. I won't call it the best camera phone in the market but it is one of the best in terms of battery, storage, and connectivity. Samsung has also worked ...
Good, Fantastic camera, Great battery life and performance, Innovative software features, Compatibility with Samsung Gear accessories
Heart rate monitor feature is unreliable, Cluttered interface, Expensive
Samsung's Galaxy S5 might be the best evidence yet that smartphone development has plateaued (Also see: Peak Smartphone Theory). The entire industry has arranged itself around a yearly upgrade cycle, but at this point, there just isn't any compelling reas...
The handset is powerful and comes with finger print scanner and with an impressive camera. Battery life is decent enough. Screen quality is superb. The biggest disappointment with Galaxy S5 in India was its price tag. It was launched at a price of Rs. 51,...
The Samsung Galaxy S5's has taken most people by surprise, because of its Rs. 51,500 price tag. This kind of pricing was generally given to fad phones like the HTC One Max or LG G Flex. The normal consumer's price allowance reaches a limit at Rs. 45,000, ...
Abstract: Samsung Galaxy S5But advertising alone isn't a reason to buy a mobile device (or a pizza, for that matter); beyond all the carefully crafted hype, what really matters is what the product is like to use in the real world. And by that measure, Samsung's Gal...
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
The answer depends on how important battery life and photo quality are to you. If your answer is "very," then yes, you should buy it. The camera is way better than the HTC Ones, and the battery life is way better than the Nexus 5. From there, you just ha...
