TouchWiz is still awful
There's too much packed in
But at least lessons have been learned — Settings app is no longer the hot
Disorganised mess it was with the Galaxy S4

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: It's that time of year again and Samsung's latest flagship device, the Galaxy S5 , is now on retail shelves around the globe. As a previous owner of the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4, it was only a matter of time (and not much of that) before I got my hands on ...
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is by all means a perfectly good smartphone. This isn't a major reinvention of the previous year's model, though. While the display is out-of-this-world good, the rest just sort of feels somewhat unremarkable. The camera is good, ...

Tremendous performance, Lively, colorful display, Can produce great photos
TouchWiz is bloated and sloppy, Fingerprint reader and heart rate monitor are useless, Feels cheaper than other flagships
The Samsung Galaxy S5 brings top-of-the-line performance and more functionality than any other phone out there. However, its cheap build and messy software keep it from attaining the highs of rival flagships....
Abstract: Vodafone UK have kindly sent me a Galaxy S5 – in fancy Copper Gold no less – and I've been using it for the last week or so. As someone who is pretty keen on photography, how good a smartphone's camera performs is important to me. I might own a Nexus 5 da...
Spectacular screen. Super-fast Wi-Fi and LTE performance. Excellent camera. Water-resistant.
All-plastic design. Bloatware. No Download Booster
As Samsung continues to refine its flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S5 is better than ever. It's the most powerful phone you can buy, and is a lock for our Editors' Choice on Verizon....
Gorgeous 1080p display, Excellent camera and features, Solid performance, Water-resistant body, Long battery life
Slow, inconsistent LTE connection, Inconsistent fingerprint sensor, Cumbersome USB port flap door
Samsung's Galaxy S5 offers an excellent display, solid performance and a superior camera in a water-resistant shell, but its 4G performance is lacking....
Abstract: I dropped Samsung's Galaxy S5 in a glass of water as soon as I got it. Not out of malice or clumsiness. I was just eager to test the water-resistant case.And, yes, it emerged from the glass of water just fine.The Galaxy S5 may look a lot like last year's ...
Abstract: The Samsung Galaxy S5 isn't a major upgrade on the GS4, but it has enough improvements to strongly recommend it to Samsung fans. Introducing the Samsung Galaxy S5 in February at the Mobile World Congress trade show, Samsung CEO JK Shin said that the co...
