    Tsunami, 27 Feb 2014Really? What about the battery and the camera? The Best? HAHAHAIt's about the best overall. One of the tops.
    Not best everything. Battery life will be great. Not best.
    Camera definitely among the top. Might even beat out the Z1/Z2 and give it's zoom counterpart a run for. Probably easily beats the 1520.
    Display. Easily match up the the current best. Note 3.

    Chip. top of the chain. Water resistant. Still removable back. A few more firsts for phones. Usb 3.0.
    It's no slouch.

              Plastic does not heat up as fast or retain the heat as long.
              4k video. iso cell camera. 128gb sd support.
              And the chip is more than just the same and .2ghz higher. Then entire bus speed is increased. Gpu is clocked around 128mhz her, and memory bandwidth is clocked a good bit higher as well.

              Not to mention the much brighter display that can get a lot dimmer as well. So far I have seen it rated as 500nits. And that's probably not it's auto brightness rating either.

              USB 3.0? Slightly improved battery and probably efficiency. The ultra power saving mode.

              Easily guarantee that it also has improved speaker and DAC.

              So......???? Try again?

                    Phone seems to be a good innovation over S4
                    Consumers seeking product for good use a bit cheap and also with good specs.....
                    This phone has it all.. Pricing we will see...
                    But what will you do by having a big screen difficult to carry and if someone wants one you can have note...
                    2GB enough to support this phone.... Increase the RAM price increases....
                    UHD(2K) no use hardly able to differentiate any pixel lag in daily use in S4.... almost same density...
                    why Aluminium body? Apple finding it very difficult to sell products as this body cost a lot not for Indians... aluminium body
                    you have water and dust resistance
                    You have all bit of small feature you require in daily life........ Better than S4 atleast...
                    A must upgrade from my almost 7 months old S4

                                For Samsung Galaxy fans I think the Galaxy J with 3gb ram is a better alternative.Seriously the only advantage S5 has over J is that it has a 16MP rear camera over 13MP rear camera in J,their front facing cameras are same 2MP ones,and about their processors,I don't think 200Mhz is a quite a big difference.One can easily overclock Galaxy J processor to 2.5Ghz.And for people who are least bothered about brand appeal the 32Gb Gionee E7 LTE with 3Gb ram,16MP rear camera 8MP front camera and 2.5Ghz processor is a much better option.

                                      Shame on you gsmarena reviewers and voters... I can understand that you give less than 4 points for the design of the S5 but less than 5 points for features and performance, I really don't understand on what basis you've rated S5's features and speed... It has got the latest snapdragon with 2gb ram, adreno gpu.. clocked even higher the Z2 and tons of features that touchwiz always offer... and mind you that S5 is the first and only device til now to offer finger print sensor and heart rate monitor... On the other hand you're rating Z2 with 9+ points in features and performance, and here even though S5 has 90% same hardware as Z2, you're rating it less than 5... On what basis gsmarena.. It's clear here that you're being biased here... What a shame
