But then the Nexus 5 doesn't have the superior features (gestures sensors and more) that Samsung has. My S5 runs fast and fine. Not laggy for me. Furthermore I enjoy having a Memory Card Slot as well as removable battery. It's a win win situation for me.

    Had the S5 and the nexus 5 and you can clearly tell the S5 is a lot more laggy then the N5 and you can only blame samsung and their bloatware for that not android.

        It definitely is a bit laggy in compare to the Ipone 6. But that is not a Samsung issue, it is an Android issue and Android uses Java and Java is laggy so there is no hope.

        But, it is still a good phone all round.

            Always AMOLED (OLED) are better .. clear black .. clear whites .. vivid .. punchy and more brighter colours than old and dull LCD colours ..

              Try moving most apps possible to SD card that will help for those with problems
              Looks like 2 gb ram of S5 is not enough

                Well the S3 got killed with the kitkat update where it kept lagging wanting more processor power. Nothing can fix that.
                The s5 COULD be on that route too if Samsung dont fix it.
                The note series are the only ones that handle samsungs firmware well but who knows what the Loilpop will bring to that series
                A little help does come with using Nova launcher and disabling some google apps which you dont use

                  i have updated my S5 to Android Lollipop and did a factory reset but compared to Android 4.4.2 it's still not as stable. there's jitters and a little bit of lag and i hope this will be fixed on the next update, and i wish that will be 5.1 haha

                    I took some pictures of sunset at around 5 PM from Galaxy S5. Does it affects the camera? Camera is working fine but i've read some articles about it, pointing the camera at sun cause damage to lens?

So feel free to do it.

                            Despite countless comments saying to not upgrade to lollipop on S5, how bad it is, people are all willing to upgrade then back to complaining.
