It is all about Samsung vs Apple. We know they went to the courts on patent wars with both sides making ridiculous arguments. But what do we know. This battle is a battle royale, like Rafa vs Roger Federer, Schumacher vs Mika Haikenen… well you get the idea.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is officially retailing in India for Rs 51,500 (Around USD 880-885), but is already being sold at lower prices by some retailers (like Amazon and Flipkart ) – some going all the way down to Rs 39,990 (About USD 685-90).

The Samsung Galaxy S5's has taken most people by surprise, because of its Rs. 51,500 price tag. This kind of pricing was generally given to fad phones like the HTC One Max or LG G Flex . The normal consumer's price allowance reaches a limit at Rs.

If you can say one thing about Samsung's Galaxy S line of smartphones, it's that they consistently pair some of the best hardware with inexplicable software. The S5 scales back Samsung's bells and whistles, which helps make it easily the best Galaxy phone yet. If only they'd gone even further.

Rs. 51499 The Galaxy S5 is Samsung's first water and dust proof smartphone, marking the start of an era for Samsung. Samsung is the leading smartphone maker of the world but its devices were always criticised for lack of innovations, sturdiness, and looks, especially in the high end segment.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is an improvement on last year's model in almost every respect, although Samsung still needs to wean itself away from silly gimmicks. I'd hesitate to say that the Samsung Galaxy S5 has a genuinely attractive design - it's still quite plastic, despite the metallic rim - but it...

It's finally here. Samsung's Galaxy S5, the big bet for 2014, the main event, the latest flagship in the spectacularly successful Galaxy series – a series so popular that Samsung could practically release a new phone with zero improvements and it could very well sell millions!

Great battery life; good camera; waterproof design

Dated Galaxy design; special features novel yet not groundbreaking

Packed to its gills with incredible hardware and some nifty features, the Galaxy S5 has been the talk of the town for quite some time now. Naturally I was excited to get the ‘electric blue' variant to test-out, which will naturally be against the likes of the HTC One M8 and the Sony Xperia Z2.

It's hard to argue with Samsung's across-the-board improvements. While it's really not exciting and doesn't blow the S4 away, the S5 is a perfectly serviceable upgrade. On the other hand, there is a lot of junk here.
