Fantastic screen, Still one of the best cameras around, Now updated to Android 5.0 Lollipop, Update has improved fingerprint sensor, Better battery life than S6, Has microSD and water resistance

Not the prettiest of 2014 phones, Processor still decent, but behind the times

We first met the Samsung Galaxy S5 at MWC last month, but we’ve now got our hands on one back in Blighty for ou...

Rich camera experience

The most feature-packed smartphone on the planet, tested [up

plenty of power, sharp, vivid screen, detailed snapper, tons of features, waterproof

The Galaxy S5 delivers solid evolutionary changes over last year’s generation. This is the name of the game in the smartphone space now. Smartphones have become powerful enough that the days of 100% speed boost or revolutionary changes are mostly behind us and will happen at a lower frequency.

Sometime within the last couple of years, smartphones hit a wall. Make no mistake, they're still improving. But manufacturers are having to try a lot harder to make their phones stand out from the crowd. Can the latest flagship from the world's biggest smartphone-maker rise above the rest? Let…
