Is The Samsung Galaxy S5 For Me?
When considering if the Samsung Galaxy S5 is for you there are a lot of things to think about. It has it`s postivies and negatives like all other smartphones. To start with it`s large screen size is great for games and entertainment and it`s rear camera and front facing camera are great which makes it great for photography purposes. It has a long battery life and a heart rate sensor with other health features including an app to track them all. There are many other advanced features to.
The downsides though start with the radio because there is no radio making it a bad choice if you are looking for something with a radio. There is no dedicated camera button which is annoying for some users and there is poor video codec support right from the start when you take it out of the box. Wireless charging is supported but it is only possible if you buy another back cover for the phone that allows it to support this feature. The rear mounted mono speaker is also poor quality.
