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

The Galaxy S5 was a highly hyped device in that it was supposed to be Samsung's re-birth of sorts, ushering in a new era of hardware design. But that didn't happen. Instead we got another Galaxy S3 with some improved internal components. Don't get us a wr...

Abstract: Pictures taken on sunny days are usually the most vibrant and colorful. To see which smartphone does better under these conditions, I shot photos with both the Galaxy S5 and LG G3 at various New York City locations. (Click on any of the images below to en...
Abstract: Protection from water and dirt, iron-clad security, new UI features and a vastly improved camera experience make the Galaxy S5 Samsung's best smartphone yet, and well worth the investment or upgrade. It's built around some of today's most powerful process...
