The Samsung Galaxy S5 is also waterproof while the Samsung Galaxy S6 is not. In terms of cost, it’s a no-brainer because for sure, the current flagship smartphone will out-price last year’s flagship in any retail market.
The major downside of the Samsung Galaxy S5 when compared to the Samsung Galaxy S6 is its design which is obviously a mismatch. The current flagship smartphone is hands-down the better and elegant-looking smartphone than last year’s flagship.
Another feature of the Samsung Galaxy S5 that was widely criticized by users is its bloated software which according to Samsung will be remedied in the Samsung Galaxy S6. Unfortunately, the Korean tech company did not entirely remove the bloatware and unnecessary apps on the Samsung Galaxy S6. It merely placed them in one folder.
And finally, the other feature of the 2014 flagship smartphone of Samsung that received major criticisms from users is its inconsistent fingerprint scanner, which the company has significantly improved in the Samsung Galaxy S6 and the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge.
