Engadget Review
The S5 is a solid upgrade over last year's model, with improvements to the hardware, software and camera. However, certain headline features like the fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor are mediocre at best. Chances are, you'll be happy with the phone, but don't fork out the extra cash for an early upgrade.
Pros
- Fantastic display
- Daylight images are on par with other flagship phones
- Waterproof casing and improved design
- Good battery life
Cons
- 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

Although it doesn't really give me that much surprise, It is still a powerful phone. I do like this phone, but I probably gonna get the iPhone 6 when it comes out. Another thing i haven't mention about this phone is the finger print sensor, It is working pretty well, but it is not as sensitive as iPhone's unless you do it vertically. I do recommend this phone if you like samsung's features and UI.Engadget Reader80August 16, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!This is the second samsung mobile device I have ever bought. First samsung I had was the original Galaxy tab 10.1, not good at all, laggy, crashed a lot, etc.. I was disappointed. Switched to iPad and never wanted to look back. For smartphone, however, I find iOS is too restrictive (no bluetooth sharing to non-iOS devices, everything has to go through iTunes, etc.. which is not a problem for me on tablet) so I stick with Android. Few reasons I bought the Galaxy S5 over the competitors for me was the S-AMOLED screen (I have always amazed by it since previous Galaxy S iterations, probably not that amazed anymore though since LCD is catching up in terms of image quality), the 16MP ISOCELL camera (I am aware megapixel is not equal to image quality, but 4MP HTC camera just doesn't do the job well if you download it to your PC or try to crop the image, you lost that much image detail). Fingerprint sensors is convenient way to unlock the phone, sometimes pattern or passcode can be guessed, but not fingerprint. I don't use the heart rate sensors or pedometer that often, so I consider that feature a gimmick.The plastic bezel looks so cheap on the S5, but then again I always use a case for my phone. I did not get to feel my HTC one M7's aluminum body that often. I went without a case for a while and then dropped the phone, luckily to carpet floor and no damage. So at the end of the day, choose cases with premium feel and the phone would feel premium also. Overall the S5 feels snappy even with much-hated touchwiz. I will use custom launcher anyway so touchwiz is not really an issue for me. This is a big step up from the last Samsung mobile device I owned, and might have just restored my faith in Samsung again.Engadget Reader80August 12, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!There's a lot to like about this in spite of a few flaws. - EngadgetEngadget Reader60August 11, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A forgettable product.

Everything from top to bottom is spot-on!. The display is fanstastic, the camera scores a 10/10 in terms of quality. You really get what you've paid for!. But, one thing has me questioning, apps load very slowly. The camera app especially. The interface also tends to lag at times unlike the iphone 5s which is much more responsive compared to the Galaxy S5.Engadget Reader100July 8, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader90July 1, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I have been using this device for over two months now and i am pretty content with it. I have had a note 1, an s3, & an s4 in the past. As a matter of fact, this is the best galaxy i have ever bought. It feels sturdier than the previous iterations. The display is crisp and bright, surely the best display on a mobile device(haven't laid my hands on the g3 though). The bloatware is almost gone and the device feels smoother than before(i am using the exynos version), in fact the device feels as fast as my nexus 5. Playing games on such a crisp and bright display is always fun. Battery life is good and the s-view cover is way better than the previous iterations. I preferred s5 to htc one m8 just because it has a better resale and brand value but after spending a couple of months with the device i realize that i made the right decision in the first place.Engadget Reader90June 28, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I took a quick trip to Vegas and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to review the Galaxy S5. Read on to find out what I learned about Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone.Up until recently some of us have been leaving behind our laptops when they go on vacation. Instead, we’ve been going with just a smartphone and/or maybe a tablet. Not me though. As much as I love using my smartphone, nothing beats a full fledged personal computer in case I need to do some real work. There’s nothing worse to be away from home and not have your laptop within arms reach. So I packed the usual, and even brought my Surface Pro 2 thinking I was going to need it. But I was wrong! I only used the Surface Pro 2 for around 20 minutes of actual on-screen time during the whole trip. I know this because I didn’t have to charge it during the trip and still had more than 80% of battery life when I got back home. For the majority of my trip I used the Galaxy S5. And that’s saying a lot for someone like me. Nowadays, laptops are reserved for actual “work†activities. When I see a laptop it reminds me of work. Which is why I think didn’t bother to use it. A smartphone is the best way to communicate, ingest information, and consume media while on the go. The Galaxy S5 was able to provide all of that for me and then some.Read my full review @ tekno-swag.com -> http://goo.gl/AJVv0iBülent100June 13, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A gadget unicorn - EngadgetEngadget Reader100June 10, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I feel like all of the negativity surrounding this device are completely a result of the plastic/leather combo physical form attributes. THIS IS A GREAT DEVICE! It takes spectacular pictures. The battery lasts all day (and even more than a day if take advantage of certain software features). I can see everything on the display in every type of environment. The phone is lightning fast (once you disable touchwiz and install an actual launcher). So, if you are the kind of person who loves Android and wants a beefy, feature packed phone to enjoy Androidy goodness. This is a great option for you! If you focus on form factor and only form factor of a device, look elsewhere for a phone with less features than this because that is all that is available. For me, who put a case on it immediately because I have toddlers that use my device, this phone is amazing.Engadget Reader80May 29, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Its my first time to buy smartphone and so far s5 is great. One thing i dont like is the design but its fine...it is quite expensive here in the Philippines around US$ 800-900.Engadget Reader30May 28, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!I didnt like this phone at all so I returned it. The new features dont justify an upgrade. this phone was a step back instead of forward.Engadget Reader90May 14, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Pros: Was very easy to upgrade from Samsung Galaxy Nexus to this phone. My previous apps immediately started to repopulate after activation, as well as all my pics from google. Problem is those apps combined with the Samsung bloatware all configured in a way to maximally destroy the battery life resulted in much lower battery life than I was hoping for with only moderate phone use. I had to reconfigure multiple settings and delete unused apps just to get the battery life close to where I wanted it. Out of the box, this phone needs lots of work to be optimized, quite unlike an Apple experience.Water resistance is a great move forward. Thank you Samsung. This feature I will gravitate to more in the future.Camera appears great, although I haven't fully tested it.Pedometer appears accurate compared to my Fitbit Force.Ultra Power Savings Mode is awesome, and no Verizon did not disable it as I have read in other reviews.Does so many things, it may need to be reeled in a little bit.Cons: Battery life still an issue due to very confusing initial configuration and unnecessary app placement. The beginner would not be able to optimize this phone for months. And as they accumulated apps, the experience would be poor.Charge port cap should be easier to open and manipulate.Finger print scanner fussy, but getting better. I think it is my finger swiping learning curve that is improving.UPDATE:(5/17/14): After a few disappointing days with weak battery performance, I reconfigured a few settings, deleted a couple unnecessary apps, and started using power saving mode more, but I was still only barely making it to bed at 11 pm with less than 20% battery in one day with moderate phone use. A performance glitch motivated me to do a forced power down. As I did, I realized a new option was available that I never had with my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, that being restart. I did a restart, and thereafter the battery life I was expecting emerged. Went to bed last night at 11 pm after a full day with over 60% battery, and woke up with 53% left. I easily could have gone 1 1/2 days on one charge. Moral of the story, after your apps from previous phone and settings transfer after activation, do a clean up of unnecessary apps and then restart the phone. Good luck!!Engadget Reader90May 5, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!This is the first time i bought a samsung phone.I am happy with the buildquality, it does not feel cheap like previous versions did and the back of the phone is comfortable to hold.It has many good preinstalled apps but allso many useless ones.. for example you have the google music player and the samsung music player google photos and samsung photos, WHY?! The fingerprint sensor works really good you can register 3 diffrent fingerst and it works most of the time. you have to swipe the finger, i personally like this more than the one on the iphone, its more secure too.the display is grat the camera is great and has nice features but is allso missing some.with the bult in picture editor you cant really do anything.. had way better ones on previous phonesIts watherproof, i tested it.The speakers are loud - but not all that good.. they have a nice feature thoug; when turned on the phone's vibration acts as a subwoofer wich improves the experience of it.(not the sound)It has many usefull stuff on there but just the same amount of useless stuff.Engadget Reader100April 22, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Its better than HTC...Engadget Reader70April 15, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!A dependable product that doesn't really stand out from the competition. - EngadgetEngadget Reader80April 14, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!The Galaxy S5 is my first Samsung phone. I've had peers using Galaxy phones around me for years. I've always scoffed at the shoddy build quality and boasted that there were better phones out there. Yet, here I am. I own one now. I've used numerous Android phones, but I've only ever own Nexus devices up to this point. My previous phone, the Nexus 5, left me wanting something more. It was a great phone but I was still hungry, and when I saw nearly everybody around me embracing the phone and purchasing their own, it immediately lost it's charm. Yes, it was shallow of me, but it ended up pushing me towards the Galaxy S5 and I am not even tempted to look back.The phone handles well, even with the cheap build. TouchWiz is clean and can be really snappy. But at times is lags and struggles to let the 2.5Ghz processor do it's job. In fact, the S5's biggest enemy is it's own maker. Samsung has a weird perspective and feels that they have to revolutionize to stand out. Scrolling through the settings can take forever as you are overloaded with way too many utterly useless "features." The fingerprint sensor leaves a lot to be desired. It works about 70% of the time and you have to develop a certain muscle memory to find consistent success. You can only save 3 finger prints, as opposed to Touch ID's 5, but you get used to it. You can rely on it, but I chose not to. The real star of the updated TouchWiz is S Health. It came as a shock to me. I thought it would be an app that I would think nothing of, but the more I use it, the more it surprises me. Every aspect of the app feels thought of and not some child with daddy issues. The Heartbeat Sensor is nifty, but really only useful for health nuts. The pedometer has had me wanting to walk more, and I have even found myself shaking my leg to rack up more steps. Samsung got a lot right with the S5, and what it got wrong doesn't result in a deal breaker. They refined the most used aspects of the phone but all of their extra effort seems to drag the phone down. Until Samsung realizes that they should be striving for perfection, and not radical innovation, and until they stop force feeding gesture control down your throat, just so they can put a huge list of features on the box we will keep getting phones like the Galaxy S5, and the huddled masses will continue to buy up what they put out.
