Samsung Galaxy S5 – First Impressions



Samsung released one of their most famous products, Samsung Galaxy S5, to compete with Apple iPhone 5S. I want to introduce you my first impressions about this smartphone.

DESIGN
I don’t see any big change on S5 compared to S4. S5 is beautiful but it is not enough to make you exited like HTC One or iPhone 5S.

SPECS
If you don’t like S5’s design, don’t worry, you will feel better when you see S5’s specs, it’s really a strong smartphone.

DISPLAY
S5’s super amoled screen is vibrant, bright and smooth… it can fulfill all your requirements about watch video, images or play games… S5’s screen is one of the best screen on smartphone I have ever known.

PERFORMANCE
Samsung uses CPU Samsung Exynos 8 cores on S5 and the result is we have a super strong and fast smartphone, you can do many things with this configuration. S5 scored 24079 in Quadrant and 38301 in AnTuTu (compared to 11746 and 22678 for HTC One). If you are a big fan of game, S5 is best choice.

BATTERY
Samsung equips a 2800mAh battery for S5, it’s enough to run through a day, you can switch to ultra power saving mode to have a longer using time. I think S5’s battery meets demand of most of users.

CONCLUSION
Samsung Galaxy S5 is a good smartphone, its specs is incredible, it can fulfill all your requirements, S5’s screen is good, its camera is one of the best camera on smartphone. If you buy a S5, it will not disappoint you.
