Samsung Galaxy S5 detailed specifications || Price in Nepal

Aesthetically, the Galaxy S5 Android 5.0 Lollipop with its TouchWiz twist is a sophisticated and modern affair, with bold colours and cleaner fonts, icons and menus. Some may feel that this simplification has dumbed down the Galaxy S5, though. We definitely agree that the phone doesn’t quite feel as ‘classy’ or business-like since it received the Lollipop update.

The home screen is rendered with five boxy apps along the bottom rather than the playful rounded ones that cleaner Android Lollipop installs have. Instead of a rounded central applications launcher, the S5 has a square one that’s fixed in the bottom right corner. It’s another example of where the Galaxy S5’s Lollipop has been altered by TouchWiz.

Overall, we still think the S5 measures up well compared to some of the latest phones. Its screen and camera are still very good and have en edge over some of the pricier mid-range alternatives, like the Samsung Galaxy A5. And, of course, unlike the Galaxy S6, the S5 is water resistant and has a microSD card slot.

The Sony Xperia Z3 is the only other top-end water resistant phone worth considering, and the S5 remains the better of the two. If that’s a feature you really care about, the S5 still deserves serious consideration.
