The Galaxy S5 was one of the most criticized, yet one of the best selling devices of 2014. The handset was launched early in the year, as usual, and while the design of the device was atrocious as some might say, the functionality and features that were build into the band-aid were quite impressive.
I'd take the Samsung galaxy s5 any day even though I'd prefer the note 4. Never been an iPhone fan and won't be until they make some changes to their phones. Changes like including a back button and lowering the price.
