Another year, another flagship Galaxy S device. Since the release of the original Galaxy S in 2010, Samsung has been routinely refining the formula through hardware upgrades, software polish and no shortage of gimmicks. We typically see larger displays, m...
The AMOLED is back and it looks better than ever. Fast, efficient Snapdragon 801 powers through tasks without struggle. Great camera, especially in good lighting. Improvements to software and design.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a well refined piece of hardware; it’s not a game-breaking, revolutionary device that blows the its predecessor or the competition out of the water, but Samsung has made a number of welcome improvements in key areas and sometimes...
