      S5 is still Samsung or android best and excellent quality phone.
      There is hundreds of reason (Believe me) but I throw you just few good one.
      1: Best battery life then any flagship phone
      2: amazing screen and brightness
      3: Stability and smooth running on Marshmallow
      4: lots of fictional add-on like 'Smart stay & heart rate monitor"
      5: Best and ideal screen size 5.1 not too big and not too small
      6: Best form factor
      7: Removable battery
      8: SD card slot
      9: Price is very much lower now with high end flagship phone
      10: Camera is excellent

          Well folks, when is the latest update for Samsung galaxy S5... Other medium range handsets are updated with android 5.1.1. Being it is a flagship still it is with Andro 5. No further updates. Windows or IOS offers updates to all its phones But Samsung show partiality... I planned to move windows OS. It seems for better no lag at all... Hate Samsung, Hate. Hate. Hate....

                  Sony produces natural colors. Samsung camera is oversaturated.
                  Also Samsung lags sometimes because of touchwiz UI.
                  Sony UI is clean, near stock, don't lag...

                        DISPLAY IS BLINKING WHEN I REDUCE BRIGHTNESS. Otherwise no problem. I hate sony because of camera quality. I love samsung phone but now im confusing again i buy samsung or sony.

                        PLEASE DONT BUY THIS PHONE.
                        POSSITIVE about this device: great back camera better than any phone.(bt poor in low light ).
                        No lag,great display quality ( not in hardware wise ).
                        NEGATIVE:
                        AVERAGE FRONT CAMERA QUALITY
                        DISPLAY IS BLINKING AFTER 2 MONTHS.

                                      About the overly sensitive buttons...

                                      I got around that serious problem rather than return the phone. I bought an otterbox defender for the phone and very carefully trimmed the buttons on the otterbox so that I have to press medium hard before it contacts the actual buttons on the phone. I trimmed a little on the inside and a little on the outside. It works really well and I can have the phone in a pocket and be confident the buttons won't be accidentally pushed.
