After about a week with the Galaxy S5, here is my unboxing and detailed demo! Covers everything from overall impressions, camera tests, water drops & more. *Go to town on that like button and feel free to +1/share if you enjoyed!*
Great camera work, once again. Your steady hand is appreciated! I’m a photographer (not so into video just yet), and I know what a difference having that steadiness makes. Great work on the video, Jonathan.
I completely love your videos man. Always enjoy some TLD content....I wish you did more sometimes as it feels like you don't come up on my sub box often enough but I guess good things come to those who wait 😁 I can't wait for your full review and comparisons with other flagships. I'm thinking of getting the electric blue S5 which comes out next week in the UK. If I can make a request I would love more details about battery life in the full review and comparisons with other flagships. P.S. I know I'm late but better late than never so congratulations on your engagement bro 😜
You have beautiful dogs! Also, amazing phone, I love it and can't wait to get one. I know that I won't like the headphone jack being at the top because I HATE the idea of having a chord sticking up out of my phone but that's just something I'll have to get used to.
Wow unite a long video for you. Good stuff. Almost up to DetroitBORG length. Your mate Michael has upped the ante though, with an HOUR-long GS5 video, lol.
I find all the changes and features of Andriod phones very interesting however I am strongly invested in Apple products and will be lining up for the iPhone 6 when ever that comes out. The iPhone 6 is rumored to have two screen sizes - 4.7inch and 5.5inch. Having never used anything larger than the 4inch iPhone 5/5S I am some what undecided which one to go (especially seeing price and specs haven't been released). I am tempted to go with the larger "phablet" phone as I don't have a tablet. I would love for you to make a video comparing screen sizes on smartphones and your experiences with larger phones. Pros and cons, practicality, etc. Thanks :)
I plan on getting one within the next few months. I REALLY like the black one on the FRONT, the back doesn't look as nice as the white. Im probs gonna buy the black one, and buy a replacement white backing on amazon, and switch them.
Bought the M8 last week. Thinking of changing to the S5 for the IP67 and better camera. Why do you think. I just don't like Samsung bloatware. I'm enjoying HTC sense, which coming from a S3 is like driving a 911 after driving a civic.
a quck question jonathan !! i noticed that u took the video footage first and then did a voice over the video correct? before u did the voice over did u make a script of each and every word that u saying over here? or was it impromptu? im just starting up a youtube channel so it wil be good to learn from u big guys !!!
From the description on the back of the box, this looks like it's the Exynos Octa processor rather than the Snapdragon. Would you say that there's a difference in performance and/or battery life?
I'm trying to deside whether I should get the s5 or s5 active, or if I should wait for the note 4, I might be thinking to much of this but it would be nice to get a opinion from someone who knows a lot about these phones. So can you help me out?
Appreciate it man! Melody (I believe) is a swiss german shepherd, the reason I'm not 100% sure is because I got her a few years back when I use to work at a music store and offered the customer a discount on his guitar if I could have her lol. Big Mac is a Bull Mastiff :D
Do you know of a way to disable the lock-screen from illuminating when you recieve a text message or snapchat for example? I want the led light on, but not the full screen to light up
I have the gs3 and i never liked that phone in a colour other than white. Now the gs5 really looks bad in white colour. Its way better in black. GS4 was nice with both colours but now black is the way to go. About the phone itself i saw it today in a shop and i think its the best galaxy. The screen is the best implemenation of the amoled technology and the mobile has a plain still elegant look to it. And ofcourse function-wise its great, simple yet packed with features to play months with. Also very fast with a very nice and really quick camera. I swear the camera will focus on anything considerably faster than any other phone. The front camera as also a wider angle just like HTC's front facing cameras
does it sound better with headphones ? im getting the phone tomarrow or today from ups and it will be my first android device from a iphone user the camera got to me lol.
for a person like me who is deathly inlove with music and other stuff that fulls alot of memory do you agree with getting this phone with atleast 16gb just not to break the bank n then buying a separate bigger sd card?
Probably a dumb question for most of you, but do you need a SIM card to use this phone? I would like to use it for WiFi most of the time and maybe a PAYG plan later on.
Wow, This phone looks great, Water resistant, Stronger, Improved features all around, just a disappointment that the rear speaker still exists..... Tons of cool features, This or the M8?
Ultimately it comes down to what really matters on a phone to you. The Galaxy S5 is a fantastic phone, with a lot of features. However the fingerprint sensor is terrible. I've tried really hard to use it, but the majority of the time I have either had to do a second take, or it won't work at all and I'll have to enter a password which is the whole reason you put your fingerprint on your phone. The camera on the Galaxy S5 is spot on. Fast focus, clear pictures, and overall easy to use features. Lastly the display is top notch. I have never used a phone with a better display than this phone. This is coming from someone who has owned an iPhone 5s, Note 3, HTC One M7, Galaxy S4, and Nexus 5. Now I haven't personally owned the M8 so I can't really speak off of personal experience. However from what I've read and seen. Seems as though the camera isn't as stellar as it could have been. Usually has issues in places where most other phones don't. The build is incredible, if you haven't went and actually looked at the phone go and do it. It's a beautiful device with some of the highest attention to detail of the overall design. Speakers are brilliant from what I've read. But from personal use with the M7 if they are even slightly better than the M7 then they are fantastic. Lastly they switched from capacitive buttons over to on screen buttons. Which can really be seen as a positive or a negative. Personally a physical home button is a very nice feature to have. Just a dependable way to use the phone. However the operating system is fairly close to stock android. Which is a positive. Especially when it comes to opening apps and using the phone. Hope I helped out some! :D
Eddies Shows Yeah, seems it's either better display with a great camera and crappy speakers, Or great speakers, an average display and an average camera, Thanks for the help, Pretty sure I'm going with the M8, I've had an S3 and S4 and I somewhat dislike the styling, the M8 looks outstanding and the front speakers are certainly the selling point, the camera is surely better than an S4's or at least close, and the display is still quite nice.
Question: My friend just recently switch from iPhone 5 to Galaxy S5 (keeping his same telephone number). When I try to compose a new text to him on my iPhone, I'm not allow to send a text to him. My iPhone recognize as a "new iMessage". Is there way to fix this? Btw, it does the same thing to my other friend on his iPhone when he tries to text

Thanks for watching! :D
"I used the crap out of the camera this weekend"... LOL:D
Real impressed by the camera, could possibly be retiring the One for this!

Another great video Jon

Great review as always. I didn't know the S5 had OIS at 1080? Looking forward for the M8-S5 comparison.
Thanks Isaac!

I love that Intro
Nice video bro I own the s5 and the phone is BOSS!!
Intro was very nice
But you can take photo's with 4k right?
a quck question jonathan !! i noticed that u took the video footage first and then did a voice over the video correct? before u did the voice over did u make a script of each and every word that u saying over here? or was it impromptu? im just starting up a youtube channel so it wil be good to learn from u big guys !!!

I need that intro/outro song, its stuck in my head
Great video man!
This video kinda makes me wanna get some dogs as a pet. Pretty funny :)
I'm trying to deside whether I should get the s5 or s5 active, or if I should wait for the note 4, I might be thinking to much of this but it would be nice to get a opinion from someone who knows a lot about these phones. So can you help me out?
Awesome review buddy just like always!!!
Btw what breed of dogs are they?
Appreciate it man! Melody (I believe) is a swiss german shepherd, the reason I'm not 100% sure is because I got her a few years back when I use to work at a music store and offered the customer a discount on his guitar if I could have her lol. Big Mac is a Bull Mastiff :D

Awesome job sir. What charging cable this baby comes with can I use s4 charger aswell?
ur videos r very informative ! good job
I have the gs3 and i never liked that phone in a colour other than white. Now the gs5 really looks bad in white colour. Its way better in black.

Hey do u think that the note 4 is going to be the same as this one but will have s-pen and the galaxy gear?
2 questions, is the finger print reader accurate and good and if I activate the finger print scanner can i still have the popping colors effect?
mega pickles.
That is one dirty pool though haha But a really great video, enjoyed it a lot
lol yeah it needs a cleaning ha
Looking to move away from my long time relationship with the iPhone. Would love a comparison video.
does it sound better with headphones ? im getting the phone tomarrow or today from ups and it will be my first android device from a iphone user the camera got to me lol.
11:03 was it some water bubble on the edge of the screen?
I don't know how much testing you did with the pedometer, but Its probably not going to work when you're holding it steady for the camera.
True. That's why I'm going to further test for my review :D
Almost got this today for tmobile but the HTC one is just far superior in my opinion. Still an awesome device though
Both are great devices.
I like all these phones... Help me iPhone 5s, HTC one m8, and galaxy s5 tell me which one u like the best thanks
Got the HTC One M8 today! But I need to have the S5 a go too. :)
Best of both worlds! haha
Please to do a gs5 vs m8 battle. My upgrade is coming up soon I just can't decide between the two and I really value your opinion on tech! Thanks!
Will be hard at work on it soon!
plz do comparison on s5 and s6 size compare too
Great, Great Video! Loved it!
Thanks Daniel! :D
id say this version of touch wiz is more intrusive than past versions. especially with that my magazine thing.
tldtoday in your opinion which one are better samsung galaxy s5 or the iPhone 5s
Tld is the best
:)
I like yours reviews
Nice 1 this is an awesome unboxing!!!
Hi just asking, is it worth it upgrading to the s5 from the s4?
Amazing review
for a person like me who is deathly inlove with music and other stuff that fulls alot of memory do you agree with getting this phone with atleast 16gb just not to break the bank n then buying a separate bigger sd card?
Hey Boss, Which is the best professional phone? S5 or M8?
Impressive audio quality.
Thx! :D
Awesome vid man!!!
Also love ur dogs
Also please tell me the intro/outro song thanks!!!
Do a review on iPhone 6 Plus
Probably a dumb question for most of you, but do you need a SIM card to use this phone? I would like to use it for WiFi most of the time and maybe a PAYG plan later on.
Do the side by sidereview
I have the samsung galaxy s4 right now, is it really worth upgrading to the galaxy s5?
This time going to #GalaxyS5 #TheNextBigThing

Please John compate HTC One M8 and Galaxy S5. Please.
Amazing video. I'm subscribing.
Welcome! Thanks :D
***** I hope you compare this version and snapdragon version too with benchmarks
Hey! That's my taco
That it is!
Could you do a samsung galaxy S5 vs iPhone 5S?
can you do a video on the lg g2 flex
7:00 is that water that seeped into the camera?
No it's the little protective film that covers the camera from factory
No, I left the sticker on still haha.
***** So, where the videos shot with the sticker still on? Imagine the quality of a stickerless camera! ;)
Traquan Around the camera sensor, there is a little hole cut out in the sticker so the sticker doesn't actually show up in the photo.
Question: My friend just recently switch from iPhone 5 to Galaxy S5 (keeping his same telephone number). When I try to compose a new text to him on my iPhone, I'm not allow to send a text to him. My iPhone recognize as a "new iMessage". Is there way to fix this? Btw, it does the same thing to my other friend on his iPhone when he tries to text
thats a carrier thing, he needs to contact his carrier then apple. Have had that happen to me when i switched from iphone to SGS4.
Can you do a comparison to the Note 3?
Yep!
aint a samsung fan but sick camera
It's pretty awesome.
How did u get the phone again
