The editors didn't like

  • 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
  • Lack of premium construction materials
  • Unbalanced screen colors
  • Fingerprint and heart rate sensors could be better
  • Has the same limitations all pouch-style cases have
  • No screen or back protection included
  • Only small improvements and additions from previous model
  • Qi wireless charging not built in
  • Some songs lack body. The price is a bit high
  • TouchWiz is a fragmented clash of three different operating system styles
  • We aren't sure a heart rate monitor would be useful on a phone
  • But the one on this phone is only right about half the time
  • The fingerprint reader can't be used one-handed
  • The us
  • Don't use it as a boom box
  • Still too much bloatware
  • Still plastic
  • TouchWiz is improved but still walks all over Android
  • Slow
  • Inconsistent LTE connection
  • Inconsistent fingerprint sensor
  • Cumbersome USB port flap door
  • TouchWiz is bloated and sloppy
  • Fingerprint reader and heart rate monitor are useless
  • Feels cheaper than other flagships
  • Inconsistent fingerprint sensor Annoying port cover Weak audio
  • Stability issues
  • Plasticy design
  • Some gimmicky features
  • All-plastic design. Speakerphone could be louder and deeper
  • 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
  • Annoying flap door for charging port
  • Plastic design
  • All-plastic design. Bloatware. No Download Booster
  • Inconsistent fingerprint reader
  • USB port flap

  • Annoying USB port flap
  • Software options can be overwhelming and scattered
  • Tinny and subpar audio when played at high volumes
  • Camera is inconsistent in less than optimal conditions
  • Slightly lower Overall Build Quality Vs. Top Competitors
  • Screen may be too big for some people
  • Lots of customizing could be intimidating
  • Battery life not so great
  • 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?
  • Overwhelming features and options
  • Cheap
  • Boring design
  • Camera struggles in low light

  • If the Galaxy S5's feature set is overwhelming
  • You can use the simplified Easy Mode interface. Image Sandra Vogel/ZDNet UK
  • Despite the obvious attempt to trim back the software offering there's still a lot going on here. So for those who are easily over
  • No significant changes in design
  • Audio output is disappointing
  • Fingerprint scanner doesn't perform well
  • Still some gimmicky features
  • The Samsung Galaxy S5 is not an innovative product but Samsung is trying to complete its products. Undoubtedly the S5
  • Noticeable loss of details in low light conditions
  • Nonuniform sharpness across the image field
  • Autofocus inaccuracies during auto mode
  • Fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor aren’t well implemented. Settings screen is terrible. Lacks the polish of its highend competitors.
  • Fingerprint scanner can be frustrating
  • Selective focus doesn't always work as promised
  • Heart rate monitor isn't completely accurate
  • TouchWiz UI looks better
  • But is still confusing
  • Case is torsionally not completely rigid
  • And complains with slight creaking when forces are applied

  • Abstract:  We were a little wary of comparing a phone with a phablet, but the lines are so blurred these days the distinction is quite arbitrary. Certainly as things grow bigger, each extra millimeter has less of an impact. Still, some will prefer the more compa...

  • Sharp and vibrant screen with good sunlight legibility, Great audio quality, Good build quality, Waterproof and dustproof, Great camera quality, Fingerprint Scanner, Good performance, Expandable memory (Upto 128GB), Removable Battery
  • No dedicated camera key, Loudspeaker is a bit low on volume, The back cover pattern may not impress everyone, Above average battery life, Siraj Hassan, Srivatsan and Bharadwaj also contributed to this review.
  • Overall the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a good flagship device. Whether or not it’s worth upgrading to depends on what phone you are using and what exactly you are looking for in an upgrade. For example a user of the S4 might not see the S5 as being a signifi...

  • The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a good smartphone but it's not great. It probably ticks most of the boxes in terms of features, but still does not give a user a compelling reason to upgrade. Be it a former Galaxy user, a iPhone user or anyone else, it'll not att...

  • Fingerprint secured, Improved UI, Impressive fast camera, Resistant to water, Loaded to neck with features, Unmatched display
  • Not so good build, Little overpriced
  • We really enjoyed using Samsung Galaxy S5 and all of its features. They aren't just for namesake and don't think they are too much to handle. The revamped interface gives you all the power and rather the leverage to use them as intuitively as you can. And...
