Samasung Galaxy S5- Review..!!

This phone looks very similar to the Galaxy S4 last year with spec bumps and the specs are very close to the HTC One M8..

Hardware Or Design

It has a 5.1inch full HD display slightly bigger than S4's and with slightly bigger bezels. It has the typical Samsung squared off look with the power button on the right side of the device and that is where it should be unlike that of the HTC One you have to struggle every time to to reach it. The volume rockers are on the left side. 

And while talking about the Galaxy S5's hardware you can't just not talking about the most of the people aren't a fan of , it has little dots or dimples on the whole back turns out this is easier to grip and hold in the hand than the slippery metal on the HTC One M8, while the HTC one is made of metal and is heavier the Galaxy S5 is made of plastic and is lighter and easier to hold. 

It has a removable back like every other Samsung device and you open the back you can see the 2800mAh battery and see the Micro SD card slot which supports a 128GB of memory and the thing you might notice after taking the back out is the seal on the battery cover and that is there to make this device IP67 certified 

6 stands for dust proof and 7 for the water resistant for limited period of time, and while looking at the seal you'll see that it doesn't covers the speaker and speaking of the speaker it sound alright but not as loud as the M8 but i guess there is nothing that can sound like M8.

And on the top is the 3.5mm jack and an IR blaster to control your TV and other stuff and on the bottom there is a 3.0micro USB port covered with a flap and the flap is on of the thing that i don't like about this device but they had to do that to keep this phone IP67 certified, and every time you unplug the charger it reminds you to close the flap every single time.

there is a fingerprint sensor on this device as most of us expected it to be, it's in between the capacitive buttons so it is the in the home button or the other way round, and i have to say it doesn't works well for it to work you have to swipe your finger perfectly vertically along with the center of the pad, you don'r just put your finger on top you have to swipe.it it doesn't works if you don't swipe you finger exact vertically with the right speed with requires holding the phone with one hand and swiping with the other. 

And when i unlock my phone with the scanner it's works well but after sometime when i unlock my device again it doesn't even asks for a print just swipe and you'll see the home screen.There is also a Heart rate monitor just below the primary camera and we'll talk about that down below it come in four colors .

Software and Specifications

It has a 1.9GHz Quad-core and a 1.3 GHz Quad-core processor with  2GB of RAM a 5.1inch 1080p display, a 16MP camera. and a 2MP secondary camera.

It's running touch Wiz on top of Android 4.4 and as i have told you before i don't like skins on top of Android and touch Wiz isn't my favorite but it's better than the previous versions they have cleaned it up and made some nice changes to it.

The thing i hate the most about touch Wiz is the bloop bloop bloop sound effect and i turn them off as sson as i touch my phone the first time. 

And the phone lags when you open gallery and it is really bad for an high-end flagship phone it's not a good sign but other than that it is a monster performer and very responsive, can keep up with you.

There is another feature or app on the touch Wiz called my magazine like Blink feed or Google and it sit on the left of your home screen it gives you the news and stories and uses the whole 5.1 inch display feels really cool while using it.

The messed up settings app in the previous version of Touch Wiz, In the process on fixing it Samsung messed it again there are more than 60 option in the settings menu and it can be arranged in list or grid which one fits you. 

If you like the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S3 you are going to love the S5 ..

There is another feature called Tool box that lets you store any five apps in the bubble you can scroll around which comes in handy most of the time because no matter where you just tap the bubble and you can launch your app..

It has a 16MP camera and shoots really nice photos it is one of the top five smart phone cameras out there, the images it shoot are high resolution filled with details they are very saturated and colorful in pretty much any condition.it shoots 4K vediio and tons of other options like HDR and selective focus which does the pretty much same thing the the dual camera feature does in the HTC M8 it still looks artificial it's OK i can live with that.

There is a heart rate monitor below the camera with works through S heath and when you put your finger on it for a few seconds it tell your heart rate, i don't know how true it is because i don't have another heart rate monitor to compare it to  or cross check both so we can assume it works fine..

And this is it, over all it is one of the amazing devices in the market right now and if you like Touch Wiz you can never go wrong with it and if yo don't it's still a great choice.
If you have any question related to this device leave it in the comments section and if you like it don't forget to give it a +1
