The editors didn't like

  • If you want change Samsung is a good way to go
  • Looks a bit cheap compared to the competition
  • 4K recording but no playback
  • Expensive
  • But then again all premium phones are
  • While the software has gotten better
  • It's still well behind HTC's in terms of user-friendliness
  • And it's miles away from Motorola's and stock Android. There's just too much lag to be forgivable in a phone with so much horsepower under the hood. S Health
  • Ugly
  • Screen has issues with color accuracy and grayscale banding
  • Poor NAND performance
  • Ugly design
  • Mediocre speaker
  • Poor fingerprint scanner implementation
  • The design will divide users
  • And the innovations may be too few to please
  • Touchwiz
  • Average battery life
  • Display
  • Unfaithful colours
  • Fingerprint scanner could be better
  • Some lags and overheating in certain games
  • FM tuner has disappeared
  • Camera not great in low light
  • Average sound
  • Erratic Finger Sensor
  • Plastic design
  • Creaky design
  • Unnecessary heart rate monitor
  • Slow background de
  • Focus
  • 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
  • Fingerprint sensor
  • Design doesn't quite cut it
  • Some confusing UI decisions
  • Plastic build
  • Navigation of the user interface feels slower than it should be
  • Slow background defocus. Folders slow on onpening
  • Design feels dated with little change in two years. Rear cover and fake chrome bezel will not appear to everyone. Heart rate monitor seems to have little use
  • A design that few will find beautiful
  • UI can still be confusing
  • Not the best camera indoors and in low light
  • Too big for some
  • Slightly delicate
  • Unreliable sensors
  • The heartrate monitor is unnecessary
  • Fingerprint scanner is inconsistent
  • Software features can be overwhelming
  • 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 built in software is getting a bit much
  • Camera struggles in certain situations
  • The launcher is a bit laggy to launch folders and return home
  • Overall feel isn't as good as its flagship competitors
  • Rear speaker is little odd sounding at times
  • Not the prettiest of 2014 phones
  • Processor still decent
  • But behind the times
  • Plastic casing won't be to everyone's taste
  • Fingerprint scanner not as good as iPhone
  • Touchwiz can feel overbearing in places
  • Lacks a premium feel
  • Plastic chassis
  • Poor speaker
  • Why pay £570 for a plastic device?
  • TouchWiz UI is mostly a hindrance
  • Oh
  • The bloatware!
