VERDICT:
WHILE SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 IS THE MOST AWAITED SERIES OF THE GALAXY, IT DOES TAKE OVER IT PREDECESSORS, BUT IT DOES HAVE SOME COMMON TRAITS OF SAMSUNG. THOUGH, IT IS LOADED WITH NEW SENSORS, NEW HARDWARE BUT SAMSUNG HASN'T REALLY BEEN MORE DEVELOPED ABOUT CHANGING THE MATERIAL USED FOR MAKING THE PHONES. S5 IS ALSO MADE WITH THE PLASTICS THAT ARE USED TO MANUFACTURE ALL SAMSUNG PHONES. THE PLASTIC ALWAYS LOOKS GOOD WHEN NEW, BUT SLOWLY AND STEADILY THE GOODNESS TENDS TO BE DEGRADED.
SAMSUNG HAS REALLY GONE FORWARD WITH PROVIDING THE FINGER-PRINT SENSOR, HEARTBEAT SENSOR, WATER AND DUST PROOF, CAMERA, HARDWARE AND MUCH MORE.
BUT, SAMSUNG SHOULD REALLY WORK ON KEEPING THE PHONES DISTINCT IN TERMS OF DESIGN, MATERIAL OF THE BODY. TODAY, ALL SAMSUNG PHONES LOOKS ALMOST SIMILAR AND SAMSUNG USERS WHO OWNS NOTE 2, NOTE 3, OR S4 ARE MANY TIMES MISDOUBTED WITH THE SAMSUNG GRAND OR SIMILAR LOW COST PHONES.
