This phone is kinda meh. Samsungs UI still sucks (settings has 9!!! categories) and there is lots of stuff that you don't want, but Samsung things you need. It's still a nice phone I guess, it doesn't disappoint, but it doesn't amaze either. I'm sad that the fingerprint sensor doesn't act as password manager. Right now it's pretty useless.

Good stuff
+ nice screen
+ nice camera
+ battery life is average, but can be swapped
+ water resistant (haven't flushed it down the toilet like some youtubers, but nice to have)
+ 50GB dropbox storage for 2y

bad stuff
- Samsungs horrendous software
- butt ugly silver frame (sure to look even uglier after some wear)
- 1000 settings/gimmicks, but no real fine tuning of crucial things

You won't do wrong buying this and if you like Samsung, go for it. If it wasn't for Sony's absolutely atrocious and uncaring customer service, I would've gone for an Xperia Z2. But Samsung it is....

It's feel is plasticky and it looks plasticky. The black one has a soft touch feel to it. Also Black one looks better and will not get dirty. I've also seen reviews see the same.

Jonathan , 14 May 2014is the back cover of the Samsung galaxy s5 ugly?trust me it's not ugly and it looks especially good in white, it's extremely capable at rejecting fingerprints and scratches, I didn't like the design at first but now i think it isn't too bad.

s4 , 15 May 2014Hey s5 users iam interested to know os there a big deffirence between gaming on s5 w.r.t s4 is... moreObviously adreno 330 is more powerful than powervr sgx544mp3 in s4. But I don't think you'll feel much difference in real life as both gpu are very powerful and will run any game easily. Adreno 330 is a more futureproof and will run the future high end games much better than the powervr gpu but that will only matter if you're a hard core gamer. To get a feel of gaming difference, I'm posting the results of epic citadel which uses unreal engine and is the best test of real world performance.

Performance setting( low end games):
s4: 59.8 fps. S5 59.8 fps

Quality seeing( good games):
S4: 59.2 fps. S5: 59.6 fps

Ultra setting( very high end and future games):
S4: 47 fps. S5: 53 fps

If you own an s4, don't upgrade to s5 due to the gaming as the difference is not much. But if you want to choose between s4 and s5 based on gaming, choose the s5 as it has better performance on high end and future games.

Why ask for something that doesn't exist yet?
