I didn't quite hit 1-hour with this one, but it's close! And it's going to take RUclips sometime to get it to 1080p, so hang in there. Thanks everybody!
Can't wait to switch over to the Samsung family for the first time. I'm loving everything about the galaxy S5 thanks for sharing this video and making my decision easier
Just wanted to say thank you for this complete walkthrough...I just got the s5, and it's actually my first smartphone (always used prepaid slider phone previously). So as someone who's never used a smartphone, and just got my first android tablet as well, getting started was pretty intimidating. Very, very grateful to have a clear walkthrough, so thanks for taking the time to do this!
Hard to believe how full of features this phone was back in 2014. Even if It's a flagship, no other flagships had catched up on them in 2014. 4K recording, fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor, detachable battery, multi USB support, plastic build, peak of innovation. The value was amazing for It's time, not to mention their 2015-2017 A series era. Goated.
I was 20 yrs old when I watched this video, now I'm 82... such a long video... lol I'm joking, very in-depth video, thanks for taking the time to make this. I'm getting the S5 in two weeks time. Can't wait! :D
Loved the video. First time I have seen one of your videos and loved the full length review. I hate short reviews because it still leaves so many questions and you go looking every where to find the rest of the information.
One of the best reviews I've ever seen, it's so complete and unbiased, you basically went through the whole range of options the phone has without glorifying or degrading the feature just because you didn’t like it. Keep up with the great work!
This phone was out of this time, people ain't even doing phones as good as this one was back in the day! I was kinda jealous of this phone, but never owning it.
It's amazing how you encapsulate every detail about the device in one video. Much better than searching through the channel for individual videos. Good job!
Another amazing review and unboxing! I've always loved these full-length reviews, cause they never miss any details...always complete! Just love your videos! Keep it up!
Brilliant review and I've subscribed. I actually scoffed at the thought of sitting through 56 minutes on one phone. I ended up watching the entire video - very entertaining, factual and unbiased. Thanks
WOW i had my S5 for 2 months and hated how blurry my camera was. I was watching this and you said there was plastic covering the camera... I grabbed my phone and took off the plastic...
That was the best phone I ever owned. I had so much memories with it! I still have it, but whenever I want to use it, I have to keep it plugged in since the battery dies in 5 minutes.
Thanks for a great video. I learned a lot. I just upgraded from a Galaxy S3 to this S5 and I love it. I like the android family. You explained far more then Verizon or it's instructions ever could have.
Lol at the people complaining about upgraded generations of phones looking similar. It's a phone, chill. Anyway, I'm ordering this phone tomorrow. I wasn't too keen on getting something other than an iPhone, but I want some change and maybe something that operates better. This video helped a lot with my decision!
Fantastic review, long but very helpful. I got the S5 two days ago, and so I used this as like a guide to the phone's capabilities since I have an iPhone 5 that I used and have had iPhones for a while now.
to be honest, I still miss my iphone 5's simplicity, and am gonna get the iphone 6 or w.e it is when it comes out this fall, and give this s5 to my dad I think. The S5 is probably a better choice over the iPhone 5 at this point because its newer and more powerful, but im so used to iOS and im a huge gamer too, so on top of all my data being synced with my apple devices, I love the timed exclusives apple gets on it's app store in terms of new games. If you're interested in buying android or switching to android, then you'll like the s5. If you've been set on apple for so long, might as well stay. Just go in a store and hold an s5 though and see how you like the feel and stuff.
Lol wow thats def my personal best watching a review this long ! However i must say each minute was worth it , highly informative and thorough ! Thanks you for the review mate.take care
I dont know why I am here (November 2019) This galaxy s5 is my first ever samsung phone. I am about to upgrade my S8 plus to Note 10 plus soon. After 3 years I guess, I will go back here for a comment again.
Back when samsung phones were kinda laughable with plastic materials, lots of bloatware and a not so good launcher. Because of that I was an Apple fanboy. Now I'm using a S10e for 2 years straight and it's one of the best phones I've ever had.
I'm going to get a Samsung Galaxy hopefully today! The iPhone 4s I have gets annoying when it lags and its Battery goes down so it dies fast ._. Can't wait to get my new phone for Christmas :D
How is it compared to the IPhone ( if you got it ) I also have the IPhone 4/4s and I am which to get, SG5 or Note 3/4. I also, hate the battery life. My IPhone 4 Would be at 49% and turn off saying low battery, then I would try to turn it back on and see it is still at 49% which annoys me...
Still have a hard time chosing between the Iphone 5S and Samsung Galaxy S5. Normally I'm an android user, but recently I've been thinking about trying something new, but I'm still not sure. Any suggestions?
im leaving my iphone behind, they don't get anything new, im choosing between a htc one m8, lg g3, and this phone, honestly your not missing anything, apple used to be able to make a good phone but if i were you, get the samsung, and if you want, wait until the iphone 6 is released this fall
soneb2uty When the iPhone 6 comes out, it will launch with iOS 8 which allows widgets, similar to Cydia Jailbreak Tweaks, so if you hang in there, you just might be glad you did.
When making a decision like this, I would first factor in the ecosystem. Can you give up iOS and the included services like iTunes, iMessage, Facetime, etc.? I've found this to be the major reason I stay with iPhone, but for others they are not as invested and go move to any phone.
Bilaal Raja For me killer features are iMessage and FaceTime (among others) because my family uses iPhones. Are you dependent on those services? How about iTunes media? For the most part, you can move everything over to Google, including music (not movies), and there are equivalent apps like Hangouts...but none of it works as well as the fully integrated features in iOS.
Man I do miss this kinds of videos. Detroitborg was the standard in phone reviews. I still remember videos like this one that is nearly 1 hour long and goes through everything you know about each device.
PLEASE HELP: I currently have an iPhone 5s, and am quite liking it but am getting bored of the iOS, and want a far bigger screen, I love the fingerprint scanner, so am looking at the s5, my question is, is it worth selling my 5s for the s5? I do really want that bigger screen, worried I COULD miss iOS even if I currently am a little bored of it?
I don't know if this is ever wear but my best buy has a deal that u can trade in any p working smart phone and they will add 50 dollar to the value and I had the 5s and I got the s5 so yea
If I were you I would buy the Samsung S5. It's a nice size screen plus you can replace the battery where as the iphones you can't and the samsung phone baterry lasts a little longer. I have iphone S5 and like it but I am a little disappointed at the battery. I am going to get Sansung S5 soon because it has more features and the camera is really good. Good luck on what you decided
I just got an iPhone 6 Plus but i am returning it today for the samsung galaxy s5 iphones are cool but if you want to customize your device you have to jailbreak. I like how android is customizable right out of the box
He said that the CHARGER is USB 2.0, but the port on the phone is USB 3.0 That doesn't meant that it doesn't support USB 2.0 it means that it'll be slower and Samsung did a weird thing they could've went with a USB 3.0 charger in the box but instead the charger that it comes with it USB 2.0 I hope that clears something up because seriously you need better listening skills bro
omfg so many options at that small thing?!! best thing in the world! AND ITS MINE!!!!!!! i didnt knew like 90% of the stuff you have shown,awesome video! you and the GS 5 are awesome at the same way!!!!!!
