However Samsung is still ahead of HTC in the game which is even taller than the S5 despite packing a smaller screen. If you take into consideration the G2 which is almost as small as the S4 despite carrying onboard a 5.2” display then things get weirder. This is quite weird when you take into consideration that Sony has managed to shrink down it’s bezels and make the Z2 which houses a 5.2” screen narrower (although a bit taller) than the Z1 even though the Z1 houses a 5” display. But I feel it’s just a matter of getting used to and anyway most of us will end up getting a case for the phone that covers it up.Īlthough the device only houses a display thats 0.1” bigger than it’s predecessor, the S5 is over 5mm taller and 2mm wider because of it’s wider bezels. It’s quite different from what Samsung have done in the past and that’s probably why we find it a bit hard to digest. The dotted pattern on the back has received a lot of criticism upon the phone’s release from myself included. This is good primarily because the phone is no longer a fingerprint magnet and secondarily because it improves grip and gives a more premium feel. You don’t get the faux leather stitch found on the Note 3 but the leathery feel is still there. The back isn’t glossy anymore as it now has a dotted pattern (similar to the one we’ve seen in an official S II case). ![]() The S5 isn’t as rounded as the S4 and resembles the Note 3 more in that aspect. It has a design that closely resembles it’s predecessor along with cues taken from the Note 3. At first glance, you won’t find anything different with the S5 either. The design and build quality of Samsung Galaxy devices have been one of the most debated topics. The box contents aren’t any different from the usual. We’ve already posted an unboxing of the Samsung Galaxy S5 which you can see in the video below. Only time will tell how it stands against them but let’s take a look at the S5 and how it performs. However it does have some fierce competition from the likes of HTC and Sony. Naturally this year also everyone expected the same.Įach year Samsung manages to sell more and more of it’s flagship device and this year it’s expecting to do the same. Samsung have a history of providing a do it all device with every feature you could imagine packed into a single device. Ever since the launch of the original Galaxy S smartphone which was a big success for a flagship device at the time, we have all waited to see what Samsung brings in new every year with the successor to the previous model. ![]() For the past 4 years, there is an event that most phone geeks look forward to the announcement of the latest Samsung Galaxy S flagship.
