got the s5 on friday afternoon and still have an s4. a few impressions...
- s5 screen is noticeably nicer. brighter and seems to have better color reproduction than the s4. doesn't have a blue-ish hue as the s4.
- s4 was already fast with almost no lag, but the s5 is slightly faster with everything.
- camera is a significant improvement all around. really impressive low light capabilities.
- slightly larger and slightly more heft than the s4. with the bigger battery and more stuff crammed this is expected. not a big deal, but noticeable.
- changing the left capacitive button to the app switcher from the menu on s4 button is a change, but long pressing the app switcher button on the s5 makes it function as menu button.
- battery life is about a 15% improvement over the s4. guesstimate. the ultra power saving mode is a nice feature.
-charge port cover is a pia and i've already removed mine. makes me concerned about dock options since i have a very convenient dock for my s4 and would like one for the s5.
overall it's definitely an improvement over the s4 in all areas. i'd only have hoped for it to be slimmer and lighter, but this will definitely do. being water resistant is a nice tradeoff too.
