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
Software still looks

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
Pop-up warnings to close the covers properly get annoyoing

Czwartej generacji „galaktycznych” konstrukcji Samsunga często zarzucano zbytnią zachowawczość, brak rewolucyjnych zmian, ale i tak okazała się hitem. Najnowszy Galaxy również nie przynosi rewolucji, bo nie zintegrowano z nim pralki, lodówki i ekspresu do...
Abstract: Wyświetlacz 5.1" Super AMOLED Full HD Samsung słynie z jednych z najlepszych wyświetlaczy. Ten zastosowany we flagowym modelu Galaxy S5 oferuje najwyższą na rynku rozdzielczość, wynoszącą 1920 x 1080 pikseli, doskonałe odwzorowanie kolorów i świetną widoc...
Samsung Galaxy S5 vs Apple iPhone 5S - kto wygrał pojedynek?W tym miejscu muszę uczciwie przyznać, że chwilę po premierze flagowca Samsunga byłem do niego bardzo sceptycznie, wręcz krytycznie nastawiony. Na szczęście po przetestowaniu sprzętu zupełnie zmi...

Możemy narzekać na jego całkowicie plastikową obudowę, obciachowo wyglądające, plastikowe i tylko pomalowane srebrną farbą boki oraz ekran AMOLED wykorzystujący degradujący jakość wyświetlanych szczegółów układ pikseli typu PenTile (diamond), ale Samsung...

Recenzję rozpoczęliśmy od stwierdzenia, że Samsung Galaxy S5 idealny nie jest, ale naszym zdaniem blisko mu do ideału. Po kilku dniach spędzonych na intensywnych testach w pełni podtrzymujemy tę opinię. Naszym subiektywnym zdaniem w odniesieniu do takiego...
Abstract: Galaxy S5 przyszedł do mnie w kombo z zegarkiem Gear 2 oraz opaską Gear Fit i już widzę, że bez nich, nowy flagowiec Samsunga wypada dość ubogo. To dlatego, że de facto niewiele różni się od poprzednika. Brak też u niego jakieś jednej wybijającej się mark...
Abstract: Przykładowe zdjęcia:Najnowszy flagowiec Samsunga swoim wyglądem jest zbliżony nie tylko do poprzedniej generacji, ale też do Galaxy... SII. To przede wszystkim zauważymy na krawędziach smartfona. Zaokrąglenia są jakby nieco mniej widoczne i obudowa wydaje...

Mimo, że nie udało nam się wszystkiego przetestować w Samsungu Galaxy S 5 ze względu na ograniczoną ilość czasu, to te kilka dni uświadomiły nam jak bardzo zmienił się nowy flagowiec. Wiele rzeczy zostało poprawionych, dodano kilka ciekawych rozwiązań, a ...
