Outstanding performance

Battery life is fantastic. The pared-back look of the software is a definite improvement. The screen is absolutely lovely. The dimpled back panel makes the phone much less likely to slide out of your hand or off of your leg. IP67 waterproofiness should be

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

Erratic Finger Sensor

Creaky design
Unnecessary heart rate monitor

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
