It's back to basics, Samsung says about the Galaxy S5. Time to focus on what matters - displays, batteries, and cameras - and to start to let the rest go. That's the approach Samsung needed to take, but all it was was lip service.

Great display; Excellent performance; Camera can take amazing pictures; Waterproof

Overwhelming features and options; Cheap; boring design; Camera struggles in low light

Whatever the paint job, whether a Galaxy S5 Active belongs in your pocket depends on how much meat you really need on your smartphone's bones. Remember, the stock S5 is already immersion-resistant, and while a MIL-STD-810G rating should mean the Active is much more durable, in our experience that...

The Galaxy S5 does incorporate new features like water and dust resistance, a heart rate monitor and a fingerprint scanner, but the area where it loses is its design.

Excellent display and touch feedback; Offers good overall performance; Fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor work well; Good camera with 4K video recording support; Water and dust resistant

Design seems very outdated; Low graphics performance on benchmarks; Materials used are of low quality; TouchWiz UI needs a bit more polishing

The phone its good, but when I bought i didnt think that the brand (AT & T) could influenced too much. It turns out to have the update 4.4.4 ( Kitkat ) NOT the Lolypop referring in the notice. I can not update a new software because I get a message that depends on AT & T.

I bought this little over a month ago and so far I am thrilled with this sleek and elegantly designed smartphone! I previously had the s3 which I was seriously attached to after thinking I would never leave the iPhone's side, but Samsung's latest releases are pleasing me entirely :) I love that the...

Touchwiz; average battery life

The Samsung Galaxy S5 I have been using the Samsung Galaxy range of phones for quite a few years now. I started with the Galaxy Ace, then I got the S3 and now I am using the S5. Before I got the S5, I temporarily got a windows phone and although the phone was good, I was unhappy with the difference...

Excellent Camera

None

I got it in late 2014 but since last year, things started going a little bad, screen flickers yellow (amoled something wrong) back battery cover is sticky with weird residue coming out and paint starting to peel (silver corners) battery port cover also broke...

Samsung continues their reign over the Android smartphone market with their flagship phone – the Galaxy S5 . While Samsung doesn't stray too far from its recognizable plastic design, they did add a dimpled back texture to address concerns over the slipperiness of the earlier model.

Bright display with excellent contrast; bright light legibility and color accuracy; 16MP rear-facing camera takes sharp and crisp bright light photos; Excellent battery life; IP67 rating

Slow startup on certain apps like the camera and settings; Uninspired plastic design; Poor auto-brightness
