One of the biggest assets of the S5 is its gorgeous display. The Galaxy S5's 5.1-inch 1080p Super AMOLED screen is not only brighter than its predecessor, but also offers richer colors, sharper and clear images, deeper blacks and better contrast than the HTC One M8. On the outside, the S5's Adapt Display mode (enabled by default) is supposed to analyze incoming light and what you're viewing to optimize color and sharpness on the fly. Overall, the screen appears to be dazzling, with crisp screen. Videos are pixel-perfect, stutter free and super-smooth. In short, the screen's a joy.
Another prominent feature on the S5 is its 16MP snapper. Pictures are detailed and this time round can compete with the HTC One M8 with its ultrapixel snapper. Unlike the S4, the S5 is good in low light photography, thanks to the new low light HDR feature. Similarly, the super-fast autofocus lives up to its claim and takes almost instant pictures. Turn the mode on, select a focus point and take a picture. In good lighting, the S5 gives great pictures in terms of rich colours and details. In low-light conditions image noise rapidly becomes visible as the ISO sensitivity rises.
