Every company, be it pharmaceuticals or an IT company, has its flagbearers. These are the lone rangers that are the pride of an organization and have a history in doing marvels for them. These marvels propel them to the very top and help them to achieve what seemed previously impossible.

Samsung is nothing different and you’ve guessed it right. Samsung’s proud flagbearer is its Galaxy S series. The S series, from its birth, has received unanimous plaudits from the around the world because of its all round excellence. It has done a great job when it comes to refined designs, improved performances and excellent features. It really hasn’t compromised anything as in its case, Samsung’s reputation is at stake.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 was possibly the first smartphone of this series that had a very divided opinion. At the time of its announcement, Samsung had repeatedly raised the expectations of its fan base through multiple patriotic statements but at its release, it turned out to be a 50/50.

It did bring newer features such as the dust and waterproof technology plus the fingerprint sensor to the Samsung world, people were disappointed by its performance as it was laggy and the phone was a little fatter than it should’ve been. The camera was splendid but it faced some issues such as its autofocus not working properly which also caused uproar as people expected an expensive flagship to perform at a 100%.

This caused Samsung to move quickly and make amends in the much much improved Galaxy S6. However, it wasn’t a complete disappointment as the S5 did receive plaudits for its display, removable Li-Ion 2800 mAh battery and its dust and waterproof build. The Dual SIM is sure to please some interested users so will its wide range of available colors.

The Galaxy S series is used to producing high end smartphones which are excellent in all departments they compete in. The same may not be said about the Galaxy S5. The specifications are there for all to see and it really isn’t that bad as some people think it is but it surely could’ve been more sleeker.
