If we say the Samsung Galaxy S5 provides little in the way of surprise, that’s not meant as a backhanded compliment...we think. This is the light heavyweight phone you’d expect.

Even if it’s not especially h...

About a year ago, Samsung launched one of the most hyped smartphones, the Galaxy S4. It had a lengthy list of special features, but failed to impress critics because it was too confusing and difficult to use.This year, Samsung took a step back with its ne...
As you can probably tell, my only major problem with the Galaxy S5 is the physical design. I still prefer metal phones or phones made out of a solid plastic unibody. It's not awful, but it's not ideal, either. But if you don't mind plastic, you're really...

However, now that the S5 is a few years old, contracts for this phone are almost impossible to find. As a result, your best bet is to buy one SIM-free. That said, contract seekers shouldn't stop reading here, as there's also the newer S5 Neo to consider a...
Even though it's been replaced several times now, the Galaxy S5 is still quite a phone. Now, at less than £150 SIM-free, it's an awful lot of handset for the price - especially if the Gear 2, Gear Fit or heartbeat sensor are of particular interest to you...

If you can say one thing about Samsung's Galaxy S line of smartphones, it's that they consistently pair some of the best hardware with inexplicable software. The S5 scales back Samsung's bells and whistles, which helps make it easily the best Galaxy phon...
Battery life is fantastic. The pared-back look of the software is a definite improvement. The screen is absolutely lovely. The dimpled back panel makes the phone much less likely to slide out of your hand or off of your leg. IP67 waterproofiness should be...
While the software has gotten better, it's still well behind HTC's in terms of user-friendliness, and it's miles away from Motorola's and stock Android. There's just too much lag to be forgivable in a phone with so much horsepower under the hood. S Health...
The answer depends on how important battery life and photo quality are to you. If your answer is "very," then yes, you should buy it. The camera is way better than the HTC One's, and the battery life is way better than the Nexus 5. From there, you just ha...
