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
  • Plastic chassis
  • Plastic body
  • 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
  • Pricey
  •  Industrial design doesn't live up to “glam” messaging

  • 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
