Samsung Galaxy S5

The Galaxy S4’s clammy, all-plastic build didn’t feel particularly nice to hold - the kind of smartphone you really don’t mind putting a case on. While the S5 is instantly recognisable as a Galaxy, Samsung has tweaked the design by adding a dimpled polycarbonate (still removable) back panel to give your fingers something to adhere to. In that regard it works. This is a big, wide phone but that new texture combines with Note 3-style metal-look ridges to make this the grippiest Galaxy yet. It’s just as light as the S4 (OK, 15g heavier) and is also more solidly built that its predecessor, which was prone to the odd creak.
Improving on the S4 isn’t enough, though. Next to the impressively engineered LG G2 the S5 looks a generation behind, with wider bezels on the front and a larger overall handprint. The G2 simply has a better screen-to-size ratio.
Second, how a phone feels when you grab it 100 times a day is half the battle. The “Modern Glam” back panel still doesn’t look the part of a £600 smartphone. Perhaps it’s exactly the sort of styling Samsung’s hordes of fans are after, but to our eyes this is a long way from the sophisticated curves of the HTC One M8.
We’re not saying “go metal or go home” (the Nexus 5 is a prime example of understated polycarbonate perfection) and ditching the fake stitching of the Note 3 is a good decision, but Samsung needs to think classier.
Third, while the S5 feels solid enough, crank up the volume when watching a movie in bed and you can hear the rear speaker vibrating the S5’s back panel fairly vigorously. That’s not something you’d expect from a flagship such as this.
In short, we’re not enamoured by the S5’s aesthetics, but perhaps there are those out there who will be. Besides, Samsung’s form has function - IP67 waterproofing. Just make sure the back panel and port covers are properly fitted. No-one wants a soggy battery.
