[@sumrsolo]

Me too but in a week I'm finally able to get my first new smartphone ever whuch is the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus in the Lilac Purple color. The S5 really held out long for me though. It's a tough phone.

[@maxkrook7470]

This was the video that made me buy the S5 back in 2014. I loved it! From then I’m always checking out Joshua’s content before buying a new phone 🔥

I bought an S5 and my dad laughed the shit out of me. He said I must be getting old eyes, to need such large display. He owns an iPhone 6, that bastard.

[@Trd2020]

God bless I got to see review after 7 years in May 2021. Detail review wow

[@matthewgreen2151]

Iphone users say this is not an upgrade to the s4, but when you look at iphones they have never really upgraded that much either, the only upgrade with the 4s from the 4 was siri and io6. the upgrade with the 5 from the 4s was ONLY a larger screen. The upgrade with the 5s from the 5 was ONLY a fingerprint scanner and ios7 and the update with the 6 and 6plus is only a larger screen and ios8. the only other thing apple has done is SLIGHTLY improve their already paper light phone, their already great camera, their already thin phone and their terrible battery life

[@antisocialone]

Their phones have gotten a LOT faster than they were from the iphone 3 days. I used to have a 3 and then a 6 and it is so much faster.

[@Itsjimmay]

part of the reason I switched to Samsung is because the iPhone hasn't changed.. I needed something new, something different. Apple has yet to offer anything new.

[@lw1381]

They still only have dual core processors, its pretty sad. Plus Samsung has 4K video taking abilities, thats insane lol.

[@MarioMarioPlushGUY]

Its true! People are so crazy over new iphones but theres no real huye difference. Dont get me wrong i love Apple, and ive always wanted an iphone, but i am very happy and impressed with the samsun! Its an overall better phone with more to offer. But You always have Fans and Hatters for everything

[@Snowballu]

nop, many better alternatives depending on your budget, and marshmallow made the phone feel slower after awhile of using it, i sold mine about a month ago, i used mine from October 2014 until august 2016😂😂

Your post got my attention. I don'[t believe you are racist. You are absolutely correct. This video was clear, concise and credible.This guy is a Shining Warrior in my book. Shining Warriors are of assorted races, sizes and shapes.. Please check out Shining Warrior Enterprises, Inc. FYI, I use a S5. Last phone was a Nexus S. I'm pleased with the improvements. Especially "sealing" the phone against moisture damage. Those who have had replacement phones disallowed by Sprint service because of "some corrosion" will appreciate this feature. Have ordered a silicone clear cover. Have also ordered extra batteries and charger although battery life has been sufficient so far.

I remember using mine for two years with exceptional battery life, and then about a year of poor battery. My battery might have been fried, but I couldn't get more than 1-3 hours of usage out of my phone. I eventually upgraded to the S8+ and now I use the Note 10 plus. I still remember the s5 fondly though, despite the whole battery issue I had.

Why is it better?

[@LiamiPlays]

***** ...This video is not comparing the S5 to the Iphone 6 I just wanna know his reasons why its better.

[@Finnlol5]

LiamiPlays Well To begin Android is way more Customizable I know this Isn't very original but with android you can literally do anything if you don't like Touchwiz get a custom launcher if your really don't like Touchwiz Get A whole new OS with apple you don't like there homescreen nothing you can do if you don't like IOS your only choice is to get an android also Samsung Accually Puts More Features into there new Flagships unlike apple with There "We finally Have NFC after 3 years let's advertise it like it's a new thing" the difference between IOS 7 and IOS 8 or any IOS is nothing really they haven't Changed at all While Android has Constantly Changed and the fact that iphones Are overpriced pay 800 dollars for 128gb with Samsung you can just get a 60 dollar sdcard

[@jstuyfzand5467]

Toxic HOBO That is not tru android stinx yu yust go away ifone is bettur. Apple Fanboy^

[@jstuyfzand5467]

***** Does design include back-removal? If so, the S5 wins because there is a micro SD slot and a removable battery. If not, yes, an Iphone is well built and i like alluminium, but that advantages is wiped out as soon as you put a case around it.

[@ambitiouslyahraea]

I have the S3 and I'm still debating whether to upgrade to the S5 or a different phone all together. I don't necessarily like the design of the S5, but it'll be a better upgrade compared to my S3~

[@Nagasami]

I'm in the same situation.

[@AndrewDoyle]

Take a look at the HTC One M8 or the Sony Xperia Z2. I've only had a Note 2 but I've found Samsung's UI a little tacky and seems to be designed as a bridge from Apple to Android.

[@Nagasami]

Andrew Doyle I would love to get the M8, but i need a better camera than what it offer.

[@anonymousvagrant]

Design wise, the others are just about same, if not, worse than S5. Might as well get an S5 for it's enriching features/specs or wait for Nexus 5 (2014).

[@AndrewDoyle]

Yeah that camera is a let down even with the cool features it packs. I'm hanging out for the Z2.

[@cristianbilu1179]

Watching this with my Galaxy S5. Josh Vergara is so great when it comes to reviewing some smartphones. 😍 Hoping he'll come back with a new review.

[@kaynesporry5380]

I have the s7 and for some reason I miss my s5. I feel like it's better because the s7 is glass and metal and you constantly feel on edge (no pun intended) that your going to drop the s7 and Crack the glass and dent the metal. The s7 also feels heavier. The s5 just gives you that freedom and less worry. also with the s5 you get the ir blaster decent camera, although not as good as s7. The best feature is the removable battery, and still get gear support and heart rate sensor though not important. In my experience I see very little difference between the s5 and s7. little differences like themes, camera, and wireless charging. not to mention fast charge but if you put the s5 into ultra power save mode it charges faster anyway. My opinion on the s5, its a beautiful phone, an underrated phone and a highly criticized phone, I think it could have been better but the little features it has make it still a top phone in 2016. A phone that will last for years to come, swap out the battery when it gets weak and your good to go again. If your the simple man or woman that's looking for a phone that's simple and will last you for years to come, this phone is the phone to get.

I never owned the s5 but ive changed from apple to samsung and i got the s7 edge, i must admit the edge can get annoying at times because when you type it sometimes gets caught on your finger. Sometimes i use 2 hands to type because its such a big phone, alottt bigger than my iphone 6

[@needforspeed9895]

it really REALLY depends in the new features and if you will use them. The benefits i see is that the build is more robust and its not made of cheap glossy plastic. IP certification, a faster processor and i've heard that this display is the best on the market right now. Also the camera has been vastly improved. And maybe you get more colors to choose from haha, i'm really digging the blue one

Not a big difference between the s4 and the s5. I would get the screen fixed and my upgrade for either the note 4 or the s6.

[@silvanusbillyts]

Cameron Onick how about transfer to xperia Z2?

[@Cam_Galaxy]

I would wait. I just don't think this years new flag ship phones that are coming out are that big of a difference from last year flag ship phones. I mean if you upgrade and are stuck in a contract for two more years, you want the difference between your new and old phone to be a big difference that you can feel and see. I can see there possibly being a big difference between the s4 and note 4 when it comes out. I just don't see that difference in any phone out now. If you had a s3 and were talking about upgrading I would say yes go for it. The s4, I just don't see it. That's my opinion. I would suggest you go to the store and play with the phones your are considering and see if there is a big difference from the phone your currently own.

I realise this is an old review, but you sure seem so biased against Samsung and Touch Whiz. Some of us like Touch Whiz and quite frankly, vanilla Android is a plain featureless load of crape by comparison. That's my bias. The S5 is an amazing phone and you did not portray it in your video. You didn't even mention how fast the autofocus is.

[@americanliberal09]

This video came out in 2014......so, it's not old.

[@cooloox]

americanliberal09 so many videos are added daily to KZbin that a 6 month old video can be considered old, now. Most people comment on videos when they first come out; I commented 6 months later LOL. The S5 is an amazing phone and biased reviewers praise their little favourites and play down brilliant phones which they don't happen to like (e.g. Samsung phones get played down all the time).

[@MrDjvas]

I doubt that

[@austinfqt]

thomas klein I switched back to my iphone 4s for quite a few reasons. While the rear camera is awesome, the front camera sucks it distorts your head if it it not center of the screen. In low light situations the camera lags in every app. The keyboard lay out makes me want to cut my fingers off. And the extra inch of screen makes me want to reattach my fingers with an extra inch to utilize it with one hand. Yeah it has the one handed mode but what is the point if the screen is downsized to accommodate it. I love the android os but the s5 sucks in my honest opinion. Im am in the market for something new and this isnt it. That girl working at target is correct on the return rate because I was one of them.

[@austinfqt]

I watch videos and read all day from my phone as well. Iphone sucks unless its jailbroken my 4s is jailbroken the iphone 5s cant be jailbroken with the current ios. Which is the reason I figured I would try android My other gripe about the s5 is the speaker it is terrible. My iphone 4s over powers this thing anyday. I prefer my jaikbroken 4s over the samsung s5. If the screen was smaller and the speaker and camera issuse were fixed I would be happy other than that its like having a lifted truck they are pretty but at the same time not practical.

***** i have s5 to the most i use it for underwater

[@Murderface666]

***** The only time you really need an upgrade is when they stop updating Android for that phone. I have the first XOOM tablet and it is still being updated. And most of the updates for these phones and tablets are nothing but software that could have been download. Very rarely (other than the camera) is there any real hardware advancements. Out of all the products out there, you are paying premium price for the same thing with a slightly different look and a bunch of software features that the average person isn't going to use on a regular basis. If anything, they are milking consumers.

[@Murderface666]

***** Understandable. That's what they don't want you to do. They want to keep you buying everyone in between when the only real difference may be cosmetics and a few minor programs. So essentially, they are trying to get people that values having the latest version just like cars based on the year, even though 99.99% of it is still the same as the some of its previous versions. Me being a software engineer, I'm doing the same as you. I need to see some real advancements before I decide to upgrade. .

About to buy for $50. So happy with a lot of comments saying it's a good phone

[@FANT3P1M]

Getting one for christmas

[@eoinking1876]

MiniBros Gaming same bro can't wait, looks awesome

[@Taika_talvi]

Just here cuz I need a new phone to play Pokemon Go.

[@JesusWasHeree]

SAMMMEEE

[@Taika_talvi]

Jesus Was Here well if Jesus himself considers the S5, I've come to the right place.

[@jennadecker4310]

SAME TOO! I have a s3 and need a new phone so I can join my friends on their pokemon adventures

[@vilttu64]

Im just gonna get this shit so i can play pokemon, worth of 180 euros.

[@JesusWasHeree]

IYF Jesus approves of this phone. This > S7 edge

[@emilystephenson0141]

My brother, my sister, and I are all getting new phones in like half a month. They are all going to have otterbox cases on them and I am so excited!

[@JoshuaHemminger]

I can't believe people are saying they will get the m8 over this. People are literally either stupid, or just hating and stubborn. The camera and download booster alone are enough to shut out any competition. #bestphoneof2014 FTW

[@catha86]

and is touchwiz worth it too? also you pay for cheap tech like heartsensor and fingerprint sensor that doesn't work properly. Camera on M8 isn't poor but not as good. In low light the M8 will still beat S5 so have fun with your ugly Touchwiz and dark pictures in low light like indoors. The camera is the ONLY thing that beats M8 and that is not by far.

[@JoshuaHemminger]

Leon The M8 is the most unimproved follow up of a great predecessor. What did they make better with the m8 that they didn't have with the m7? I have the m7 and the s4. The s4 with kit kat is flawless. Cheap tech?? How do you know it's cheap?! Do u have the s5? The heart sensor is genius. Especially in America where over 50% of the nation is unhealthy. We need something to keep track of our health. And what better to put it on than a smartphone? The object we use daily no matter what. There is NOTHING better, I repeat NOTHING better about the m8 over the s5.

[@catha86]

Joshua Hemminger What they did improved. SD card is an HUGE improvement and you totally missed that. Design is better, camera is improved a bit, speakers are better too. Sense 6 is much better too. They made the screen bigger too. Battery is bigger and battery life is improved. So yeah you obvisouly have no idea what you are talking about. And since you are really that dense and clueless... If you want to see your heartbeat to motivate you eat and train... there is an app for that!! EVERY smartphone got an app doing the EXACT same thing! No need to have it build in. There are fitnessband that could to the same shit too. Go ahead an rely your health on a fucking phone that is known for doing useless features.

[@MagicalGalaxies112]

Leon So what if the SD card is improved?I've never met anyone in my life yet that needs 128GB on a freaking phone.The camera is improved only only on the features but the UltraPixel still sucks,just a little bit better than most phones in dark condition.HTC M8 have bigger screen and better battery,so does S5.I don't even think you know anything about Galaxy S5 and just come here and talk shit.Galaxy S5's heart rate monitor is for convenience and health use,why bother buying a fitness band when it came with the phone you want to buy?You fanboys are really brainless.....

[@JoshuaHemminger]

Thank you MaskedGuy112

[@C4Rick]

Can't wait for my upgrade, fuck you iPhone 4s.. jk I still love you.. for now.

[@RandomCoconutz]

I have an iPhone 4s too and my eyes are set on this phone xD

[@PhyllisRogers]

Mine will be here Tuesday! Thanks for helping me decide!

[@SharkPerformanceGaming]

iPhone 5S... and Samsung Galaxy S5... Do you notice the same thing I see in their names? O_O

[@soniclove626]

No -_- seriously

[@acescott5474]

5S S5 backwards 0.0

[@soniclove626]

^ no really 😂

[@SharkPerformanceGaming]

MidnightPlays IOS Exactly... Samsung kept there Galaxy S name the whole time... Is Apple lying to me? O_O Oh I got a iPhone 6 with reinforced steel case

[@acescott5474]

Ok

[@AcousticMaster104]

In my opinion, I think iphones are a bit overrated. I've been an iphone user for 2 years, I am highly thinking about switching to sam sung.

[@reerbaadia1896]

I hv been an iphone user for 5 yrs. am finally changing to s5. My bone of contention is synchronising my phone switchover

[@TheJamie6666]

Try a different name like sony or htc..you might be pleasently surprised

[@Trd2020]

if you do dont forget to get the app that changes all your iphone shit over to the android system

[@DayanaRockStar122]

I still have the Galaxy S5 within my possession. It's still a good phone. Yet, I'm thinking of upgrading soon.

[@Your_Beautiful_Sister_Is_Mine]

Is it your main phone and most importantly, do you still have it in 2022?

[@Hermiie]

My mom and I got this phone. My dad got the Galaxy S6, but I'm fine with what I got.

[@alamsyahnoorkalamadani2167]

Hey I'm about to buy this phone in a month, does this phone good?

[@Hermiie]

alamsyah madani Yeah its great.

[@alamsyahnoorkalamadani2167]

Hermelando Merlos okay ty😄

[@gabinuh8093]

+alamsyah madani ITS AMAZING

[@doreen289]

which did u feel is better s5 or s6

[@TheGamingDandy]

I might be the minority, but I actually quite enjoy touchwiz.

[@jeanettefantauzzi4608]

[@happyteach1490]

I bought my Galaxy S5 almost 4 years ago, and I still have it with me. I loved it since the first day I bought it. I did wanted the Blue version but my phone carrier didn't have it. So I ended up getting the Black version. I bought it on July 2014, and then on 2015 I upgraded to the iPhone 6, but still continue to have my Galaxy S5 with me. Roght now I'm using my Galaxy S5 with Wi-Fi....

[@frank-bmtz]

Still the best Galaxy in my opinion.

[@robertdavila6391]

this phone has basically everything you need in it lol i want to get it

[@MintPro47]

My first phone:) My parents gave it to me in 2018 after they got a new one. It lasted me 6 months.

[@my_j.a.r.v.i.s.]

Lol, what happened after 6 months.

[@Kdogcentral5ables]

Another phone that android has that outclasses the iphone

[@azeemsiddiqui4764]

Anna Lester And then Android will have a counterstrategy. There is a reason Android is more popular around the world.

[@eliteranger1001]

Anna Lester istone

[@KAR5AVATARGT]

Anna Lester that'll fail

[@KAR5AVATARGT]

Haken Panoma Yep say it again

[@CoenvanVugt]

Haken Panoma A lot of the people who have Android phones don't even know they're using Android, it's hilarious really. So I don't know if that's a good argument. On topic: I rather have the Z2 or the M8, Since I already have a S4 and the S5 is just a minor upgrade.

[@TheoriginalBigDaDDy]

Gs5 The king of phones

[@rickgalindo687]

Sony Xperia Z2 the god of all phones

[@TheoriginalBigDaDDy]

I like the Z2 it looks amazing.

[@fredyt3]

great video. I finally upgraded from Samsung III - didn't want to go the note route.....just needed the upgraded technology.

[@DayDay1229]

Blah blah blah I had a iPhone for 5 year's..its never anything different with them never any major changes. Samsung been killing apple since the galaxy s3 and I currently have the s4. Also apple is not that much more expensive than android and if anything apple users are getting ripped off because for a cheaper price you can do ALOT more on your Galaxy or any android phone than what you can do on a apple product!!! 😂😂😂

[@Loneriderrc]

Iphones last longer tho

[@Trd2020]

i was thinking of jumping to iphone but seeing you came from there i think ill just stay with android and get the note 4

[@Loneriderrc]

Now that I own the s5 I have to say its can go a complete day of Pandora radio an not need a charge unlike the 5s running ios8 I used to own b4 I commented

[@SuperJohnMark03]

its obvious that you are more samsung fan than in the sony, idl people like that

[@muazshuaib5760]

Brandon P hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
