Cracking camera, improved battery life, useful fingerprint scanner and neat health software.
The design will divide users, and the innovations may be too few to please
It feels good, it works at speed and it lasts longer between charges. Some will dislike the mottled back cover or the fingerprint scanner, but this is a highly effective, speedy phone with a lot to recommend it....
Great performance, crystal-clear display, good camera, decent portfolio of security services
Touchwiz, average battery life
The Galaxy S5's top-end components and portfolio of security services make it one of the most enterprise-friendly Android smartphones ever made. However, needless customisations from Samsung will undoubtedly hamper its ability to upgrade to newer Android ...
Fast, powerful processor, Clean, redesigned interface, Waterproof and dustproof, Built-in fingerprint scanner, heart-rate monitor, Feels comfortable to hold, Competitive camera, MicroSD support, Removable battery with new Ultra Power Saver Mode
Stale design, Poor speaker quality, No KnockOn feature, Audio jack is on top of phone, Camera refocus is a gimmick, Packed with Samsung services
The Galaxy S5 is a fantastic phone. It doesn't look different, but there's a lot to love. For the first time, Samsung is innovating like Apple, instead of just mimicking it. Last year we got a bunch of new apps, and with the Galaxy Pro tablets at CES we...

Beautiful screen, powerful processor, slim build, lots of extras
Plastic casing won't be to everyone's taste, fingerprint scanner not as good as iPhone
The Samsung Galaxy S5 isn't quite the leap ahead that the S4 was. It has an enhanced screen, processor and camera plus an improved OS, not to mention fripperies like the fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor. But these are all incremental changes t...
Amazing screen, Great battery life, Hugely powerful
Creaky design, Unnecessary heart rate monitor, Slow background de, focus
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a great phone - the problem is we're now in a world where stunning smartphones are becoming the norm. Samsung seems to banking on the fact it knows there will be some people out there who will buy its devices no matter what, else...
Samsung's Galaxy S5 excels at everything that matters -- Android 4.4 KitKat OS; a bright, beautiful display; blistering quad-core processor; and an excellent camera experience. In addition, Samsung's efforts to streamline its own custom interface and redu
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
Subtly improved and smartly refined, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is a superior superphone that hits every mark but the sharpest design....
To conclude then, the Galaxy S5 is everything you expected it to be, an outstanding Android phone held back just a tad by its below average design. Perhaps next time Samsung will finally go all metal. If they do, then that's the end of the Android competi...
Fantastic screen, smooth performance, latest version of Android, Touchwiz is huge improvement, great camera, good battery life, fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor are worthwhile additions
Touchwiz can feel overbearing in places, lacks a premium feel

Great display, good camera performance, fast connectivity, software makes good use of larger display, reasonable battery life
Plastic build, navigation of the user interface feels slower than it should be
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a fantastic handset. The design could be seen as playing it safe, although the addition of waterproofing and presenting a compact and lightweight device has much merit, as does continued access to the battery. The software...
