                          I will comment on only one thing you said...the finger print sensor. You can indeed use it with one hand. I have the S5 and I use my right thumb to unlock it while holding the phone with my right hand. You have to use your thumb which I'm pretty sure is the same procedure to unlock the iPhone with one hand.

                            I agree with you.

                            This is from GSMArena's official review:

                            'We certainly can't agree with those who slammed the design as being ugly and unimaginative. Quite the opposite - it's the prettiest Galaxy S to date and one that looks different from everything else on the market.'

                              anybody having problems with the "Panorama" not actually doing a full 360 degrees? My started out that way but now only does about 275 degrees.

                                I think s5 is a disaster phone. S series should be betwren 4.5 and 5 inches. Si 5.1 is too big and not handy i reolaced my s5 with s4 9500 because i know if u want A big phone so buy note series and a medium size ohine si go for s series and to support my ooinion samsung now make s6 5 inches same size to s4 but ligher and thinner with 5 inches so s5 is a massive dissaoointment for me.. but i have to say that s5 is a good phone but believe me between s4 and s5 just littel overclock the cpu not morem okay water resistant and finget print is a huge difference but thousanfs of orople suffered from the damage of front camera when the phone putted in water.. and finger print is not comfortable u cant use it with one hand like iphone... so 2014 is a disaster year to s series and from this samsung quickly oroduce galaxy alpha with small size. So i think 2015 will be a good year to samsung after s6 but still 3GB ram is not enough for 64 bit cpu.

                                      poor ergonomics wen compared to S4 leather edition !!
