The headline-grabbing feature of the Samsung Galaxy S5 is its water-resistance which means that you can happily use it in the bathroom or near at the beach without the constant worry of water damage. It's a great feature, but does come at a cost. The Samsung Galaxy S5 doesn't have the same slick design as the other top-of-the-range Android phones like the HTC One M8 or LG G3.
- Experience more of everything on the big, bold 5.1” Full HD display.
- Capture life’s moments as they happen with the professional quality 16MP camera.
- Challenge your active lifestyle with S Health™ & built-in heart monitor.
- Running on America’s Fastest 4G LTE network and equipped with Download Booster to assist with downloads.
Samsung's flagship phones arrive on the scene with as much fanfare as Apple's iPhones. There's no doubt that the Samsung Galaxy S5 is the biggest rival to the iPhone 6 and is the Android flagship of the year, at the very least in terms of hype
Thankfully the Galaxy S5 lives up to it. It is an excellent phone. It's a big step up from the Galaxy S4, offering loads of improvements over its predecessor. There's a better camera, a greatly improved AMOLED screen and a fingerprint scanner. The latter is finickety, it's no-where near as slick as Touch ID on the iPhone.
In the time that the S5 has been on sale we've also seen some significant price drops, with a SIM-free Samsung Galaxy S5 available for less than £400 if you look hard enough. That's a lot less than the £600 it first retailed for. However, it’s facing increasing competition from it's peers, not to mention the fashionable phablet brigade led by the iPhone 6 Plus and metal edged Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
So it faces some stiff competition but barring a few niggles the Galaxy S5 is still one of the best phones around. The forthcoming update to Android 5.0 Lollipop will give it an extra boost to compete with the iPhone 6 at least until the Samsung Galaxy S6 arrives.
