VERDICT
There is no denying that the Galaxy S5 is a well-specced, powerful flagship that any smartphone owner would be proud to carry, with its impressive performance and similarly commanding chipset making it a versatile and solid workhorse. The main problem lies in the fact that apart from its chipset, the Galaxy S4 and S5 are too similar in both look and feel, and for that reason may not be tempting enough for those who already own an S4.
