While they do look more than a bit alike, the design of the S5 does vary from the S4 in a few other significant ways. And in white the texture is barely noticeable from a visual perspective. No more slimy, greasy Galaxy - the phone looks and feels relatively clean after a whole day's use. Deride Samsung's new band-aid-esque texture on the rear cover as much as you like, but I like it, at least from a tactile perspective. Once you're past the quality of the materials, though, the Galaxy S5 has many of the positive attributes its predecessor did - plastic grips better in your hand than metal, doesn't get freakishly cold to the touch, and keeps the phone relatively light. It creaks, it snaps, it groans - like every other Samsung smartphone I've ever used. The Galaxy S5 continues in the Samsung tradition of being unapologetically plastic, and not in a good way. Granted, it does feel nicer than the S4 thanks to the dimpled, soft-touch back. Samsung, I beg of you, find a way to make your phones feel like they should retail for $700.

SD cards are just an excuse for cheaping out on the storage we actually want at this point. Samsung, suck it up and make 32GB the standard level of storage - or make it cheaper - this isn't enough, especially when the camera takes photos that are 7-9MB apiece and video is up to 4K. In fact, the 32GB S5 is only available in Korea for the time being.

There is no 32GB model of the S5 available in the US on any carrier.

Storage: 16GB, 10GB of which are usable.

Samsung's is just a new coat of paint on the same system that made the Atrix an overnight success. Apple's Touch ID is a simple, innovative implementation of biometric verification.

Fingerprint scanner: It's a nuisance to use and just feels like an afterthought.

Just let it go, Samsung - no one is using this crap. Some of this stuff (air gestures, air view, smart pause, group play) is unabashedly useless and needs to be left behind.

Bloat: TouchWiz, even with its much easier-on-the-eyes redesign, still has a lot of carryover bloat from the Galaxy S III and S4.

Not any faster than the HTC One M8 that I can tell, and maybe still a touch slower than the Nexus 5, but all in all, it's very quick.

Speed: Probably the most noticeable upgrade over the S4 is in the realm of performance - the Galaxy S5 is fast.

Water resistance: Making a phone more resistant to the elements is hard to classify as anything but a positive, annoying USB port cover aside.

The standby life is staggeringly good, and even with that bright Super AMOLED display it really does seem to sip power.

Battery life: The Galaxy S5 has among the best battery life I've ever experienced on an Android device.

Samsung's camera app is also highly usable and intuitive. It supports a huge array of video recording options, including HDR video, and the phase detection auto-focus really does work. The real-time HDR preview mode is super cool, too.

Camera: Samsung's enlarged sensor on the Galaxy S5 produces absolutely great images (for a smartphone) when lighting is decent.

There may be more accurate screens out there, but I can't say I care at this point - Samsung is too far ahead for it to matter. It is incredibly bright (and dim if need be), has superb outdoor visibility, viewing angles second to none, and the auto-brightness finally works right. Samsung's Super AMOLED HD panel is the finest display the company has ever produced. Samsung hasn't exactly been Johnny on the spot with OS updates lately, either, so who knows what version of Android your S5 will be running a year from now. And the creaky, cheap plastic we've come to expect of Galaxy phones is still just as prominent, even if it isn't so slippery and slimy anymore. Take one look at the nigh-innavigable settings menu and your eyes will glaze over.

Samsung's software suite is still hilariously bloated, with some legacy features and apps carried over since the Galaxy S III, many of which frankly have no place on a serious smartphone. However, for all the good, there are caveats. The phone is faster, the screen is better, the camera is better, the software is better, the battery life is better, and it even feels better in your hand - Samsung has been hard at work in these areas, and it shows. The Galaxy S5 may be iterative, but it's iterative in ways that matter. The Galaxy S5 won't cause the faithful to waiver, either - it's an absolute affirmation of the company's commitment to improving its flagship product with every generation.

Say what you will about Samsung's choice of materials or its design aesthetic, its phones are incredibly popular and well-liked by a great many people. The Galaxy S5 will likely take that title soon enough. The Galaxy S4 was the most popular Android smartphone of all time.
