5 things that could have made the Samsung Galaxy S5 better,AGREE?

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is finally here, but after all the waiting, rumors and leaks we can’t help but wonder - couldn’t it have been better?
Many will be quick to point out that the Galaxy S5 did not live up to all the hype. It did not have the rumored Quad HD display, nor a Snapdragon 805 chip, nor an iris scanner, after all. Truth is, it was almost impossible to live up to all these expectations as they were based on wishes rather than reality.
However, there are other things that Samsung could have done in the Galaxy S5 to make it better. Righ below, you can see the 5 features that Samsung could have implemented without going into sci-fi territory, but didn’t.

1. A smaller, more compact size 

Smartphones just keep on growing in size and the S5 is no exception - it’s noticeably taller and slightly wider than the S4, and we feel that’s a bit of an overkill. 

2. Optical Image Stabilization for the camera 

Since the Nokia Lumia 920 introduced smartphone cameras to optical image stabilization, we have praised the huge boost that videos and even images get from that. HTC and LG have already adopted the technology, and now that Nokia’s exclusive rights to using their particular OIS implementation have expired, Samsung could have used OIS in the Galaxy S5 camera, but sadly it chose not to. 

 

3. Stereo speakers 

The HTC One was a small revolution in smartphone audio with its loud and clear dual speakers located on the front. The Galaxy S5 features improved sound, but it’s just not in the league of the HTC One. 

 

4. 3GB of RAM 

After the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 launched with 3GB of RAM, we are now honestly surprised to see the S5 feature just 2GB on board. More RAM helps a lot in multitasking and seems like a logical step for Samsung to take, but it didn’t. 

 

5. Non-swipe fingerprint reader 

We have now lived with the touch-based fingerprint reader on the iPhone 5s for a few months, and while it does not work 100% of the time, it’s pretty accurate and convenient overall. It’s easy to use - just touch the home key and your phone is securely unlocked. The Galaxy S5 however requires a swipe and in a particular direction too, and is just finicky. We wish Samsung took the time to develop a touch rather than a swipe-enabled fingerprint reader.
