Samsung Galaxy S5 hands-on

Dan Seifert takes a hands-on look at Samsung's Galaxy S5 at MWC 2014 in Barcelona.

Dear Samsung,

By adding features that I don't want (example: heartbeat sensor) I am tempted not to buy your phone.

[malteeaser]

My phone specifically needs a heartbeat sensor said no one... Ever.

[MrJaryd]

WHO THE FUCK WANTS A HEART BEAT SENSOR ON A PHONE? WHAT THE FUCK? AM I IN A HOSPITAL?

[SRC]

I prefer iPhone 5s, much more powerful

[BTechTalk]

Not impressed, that's all I've got to say. I expected a lot more.

[DeeEmStyles]

Samsung blowing the competition out of the water. I love the new features even though there aren't too much but they are considerably awesome, especially longer battery life, power saving, water and dust resistant, 16 (was 13) megapixel camera, can take pics in 0.3 seconds, faster LTE and downloading, better overall performance, a fingerprint scanner and heartrate sensor, etc. Also the design doesn't seem like the rumored departure from previous models, but I love the design anyways and the different color back covers.

[aoobbb]

And the name of the designer ? He will become my assassination list's first...

[EZ]

People are complaining like iPhones haven't looked the same for the last few years.

[ThePingy]

let me get this straight, Gold phone, Fingerprint scanner, faster wifi/MiMO, better camera, some sort of health related tracker, different UI. Are you an iPhone 5s wearing a Halloween costume?

Even Steve Wozniak said that Android is better than iOS and that Samsung is doing great job with their smartphones. 
I don't know why Apple fans are still saying that iPhone is the best, when clearly it's not, not even close.

Android is much better operating system, with much more features:
Wozniak says that while Android is more complicated, it offers more functions, 'If you’re willing to do the work to understand it a little bit, well I hate to say it, but there’s more available in some ways.'

If your IQ is greater than average year temperature in Antarctica, you won't have any problems with anything on Android.

That is just for the operating system. Samsung Galaxy S5 also have much bigger screen that iPhone 5s, higher resolution and greater pixel density, and no, Samsung Galaxy S5 is not that big that you can't hold it or carry it in a pocket.
It have better camera, faster processor, better battery, more useful sensors, 32 GB that can be expanded with microSD, up to 128 GB and much much more.

As Steve Wozniak said: "There are features on Samsung phones I wish were in my iPhone".

fingerprint and gold color. hmmm where have i seen that before....

[UnboxedU]

I love where Samsung gets all their original ideas from

[kevinchilwin]

Will s5 overheats the same way as the s4? Let's hope not...

[Rickflarehuncho]

Gold on plastic how cheap can it get.. Better off with the note 3

[zachporemba]

The Galaxy S5s "dimpled back looks like a direct copy of the 2912 nexus 7

[gostttttttttt]

I don't see the benefit in using the heart rate Sensor :/  

[prokletocool]

I really was expecting more, the difference between S4 and S5 are really subtle.

[JamesJDMoe]

I guess I'm the only one that thinks this phone is GREAT! May look the best out there but it is the best smartphone money can buy and I can't wait to get my hands on it! btw for all the people complaining about the back...you can easily get a different customizable back cover. also for those complaining how the design language is the same as the s4, take a look at the iphone where Apple has used the same exact design language for almost 5 years now lol yall don't care about that though right? smh S5 ftw!! :)

[leoslash]

Good review but regarding the Samsung Galaxy S5 I think the Play Doh advertisement at the beginning was more of a product I'm going to be buying.

[GoldRoger]

I'm much more than dissapointed...
My next phone will be the iphone 6.
