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

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is one of the best smartphones you can buy in 2014. Some Galaxy S5 review units exhibit a bothersome lag and the camera is not as consistent as I would like, but overall this is a solid phone. The TouchWiz software delivers featur...

OverallThe LG G3 is a remarkable smartphone in many ways, and the screen is definitely one of its more notable features. The massive, 5.5” piece of glass does not only have an imposing size, but also a staggering resolution, which is sure to attract a lot...
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a rather minor upgrade one of the most popular Android smartphones on the market from a photography point of view, principally adding the headline-grabbing 4K video recording mode, a new 16 megapixel sensor, faster auto-focusing...

UNDERWATER INSTAGRAM BABY! Fingerprint sensor lets you unlock the phone flawlessly almost every time. Excellent camera took gorgeous shots, with a fast shutter and great focus. Removable back means you can pack an extra battery–but you probably won't need
Baffling interface and default set of applications. Flimsy dimpled plastic back feels like a cheap practice golf ball. Why do you keep giving me two apps when one will do?
Knowing that the LG G2 had an outstanding camera, we expected nothing short of great results from its successor. And sure enough, the LG G3 did not leave us disappointed with its 13MP camera. The snapper is about as capable as those on the current leaders...

Noticeable loss of details in low light conditions, Nonuniform sharpness across the image field, Autofocus inaccuracies during auto mode
So there you have it – two amazing flagships that will never fail at exchanging painful blows. If you haven't realized yet, this seeming quibble is exactly the type of mess you'll be in if you ever have to make a decision between the two. That is, unless ...
