*Five reasons why the Galaxy S5 is worth an upgrade over the Galaxy S4*

By J. Angelo Racoma 

[AlexGarcia-qccj]

As a S4 owner, I won't upgrade to the S5, not until samsung improves their build quality and update touchwiz to something nice looking.

[Thaumazo]

And I'm still sittin' here with my Galaxy S2 

[vitolibido]

You left out that the screen is brighter and dimmer than the gs4 and note 3. By the way I feel like this guy is the only reviewer with common sense. Great job

[punkedface]

There might be 5 reasons to upgrade from the s4 to s5. However there's double the number of reasons why I don't have to.

I upgraded from the Galaxy 3 to Galaxy 5. I'm in love with the sharpness of the camera pics and everything else you can view on the screen. Well worth my money. Thanks for the video.

Love my GS5, upgraded on the fly today and spent hours checking out some of the new stuff. Super impressed by Samsung IP67 success and look forward to having this phone on person for the next year

[Abebil]

Josh would you kindly do a devils advocate video of 5 reasons for not upgrading?

[Monalexander]

Upgraded and love it! Say what you want but Samsung did an awesome job on the GS5 I really can't complain about anything Beautiful Beast!

The s5's screen is at least 50% brighter than the one on my s3.. I couldn't believe my eyes. That screen is something special.

[JamesRussoMillas]

Used the S5 in person for the first time today and as an S4 user, there isn't much reason for upgrading but I will say the camera and screen alone make the phone worth it. It's a fantastic phone no doubt.

i'm getting the S5 on Monday! excited... i had the S3... defintely was time for the upgrade :-D

[KenGerathsDuck]

download booster and the dual Wi-Fi antennas.. are 2 of my big reasons for getting this phone

[AquaStevae]

one extra note, i have seen videos of people putting the s5 in the swimming pool for an hour and a half, still worked fine. also, one guy put it in the washing machine for three different cycles, and it still worked. that alone is worth the upgrade.

[AqibQadeer]

right when he says it doesn't lag much it lags!!

[TheBrito]

I've had my GS3 last week and seriously thought about getting this phone. But only a couple of days ago, I got the S4 (for money purposes) and I feel pretty comfortable with it since it also runs on 4.4.2

[Masterincommander]

funny how far focus works better on the S5 with 1 camera and the HTC M8 needs 2 cameras to do it...well it still cant LOL dat 4 megapixel doe

[urlatindestiny]

Got my s5 yesterday I'm very happy with it!

[dhawnt]

I was skeptical of the perforated backing, but after holding the phone, it feels great.

[SmallandWoods]

I'm very happy with my GS4 that I've turned into a Google play edition except for the stock camera, and I really miss the original touchwiz camera. The phone is sexy, light and works without any problems. And I don't need a heart rate monitor and 3 more mpix won't make a big difference for me. I'll rather wait till nexus 6 or galaxy s6 (when my contact ends)
