Samsung Galaxy S5 32GB Expert Review Summary
Verdict
Now here comes the difficult part – summing up everything about the Samsung Galaxy S5 in a few words. To begin with, the Galaxy S5 is a reasonably good-looking device with a host of innovations done on the on the features and functionality side of things. Then there is the biometric fingerprint security, which feels like a half-baked product as it`s almost useless when you`re a hurry, failing to recognise finger swipes unless they`re done at a specific angle and at a certain speed.In
In terms of form factor, there is only so much that can be done with the candy bar design that most smartphones flaunt these days and the Galaxy S5 is no exception to this as well. From the front, it's difficult to distinguish between the Galaxy S5 and the older Galaxy S4, but the S5 does get its own set of unique characteristics.
Read MoreDespite being constructed entirely out of plastic, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is water-proof and dust-proof as well, and conforms to IP67 (Ingress Protection) standards. The back of the device is removable, which gives access to the user-replaceable battery as well as the SIM and the memory card slots, which have all been protected using a rubber gasket that has been adhered to the back cover. One thing to be noted is that its audio socket is open, yet still can be fully submerged in water without risk of damage to the device. However, the IP67 rating does not mean that the device is completely impervious to water, as it can only be submerged up to a depth of 1 meter and that too for a maximum of 30 minutes.
Read MoreSamsung as a brand is known for making brilliant displays and the Galaxy S5 is no stranger to this fact. Despite the same Super AMOLED display as the older Galaxy S4, Samsung has improved the display on several aspects making it better and brighter.
Read MoreThe ISOCELL camera that Samsung has used in the Galaxy S5 is a leap in terms of camera technology, but everything depends on how well the developers and designers utilise its true potential. And on the Samsung Galaxy S5, this new sensor technology has been used well, as a resulting images captured by the device turn out great.
Read MoreThe Samsung Galaxy S5 comes preloaded with Android KitKat 4.4.2 out of the box, on top of which Samsung has layered the TouchWiz user interface with a ton of features for added functionality.
Read MoreFor India, Samsung has powered the Galaxy S5 with theoOcta-core Exynos 5244 SoC. It consists of two separate quad-core processing clusters running at 1.9Ghz and 1.3Ghz respectively. However, Samsung has improved the performance of the device with one simple trick and this is by enabling the processor to use all the eight cores simultaneously to boost the performance of the device considerably.
