The Galaxy S5, however, is not perfect, and after you use for a while it you start noticing some annoying details. Don’t you wish you knew about those things before you actually bought the phone? None of them is a deal-breaker, but combined, they just spoil the impression of an otherwise great smartphone. Plus, even if they don’t derail you from your decision to buy Samsung’s latest and greatest, it’s still good to make an informed purchase.
1. Fingerprint scanner: will it ever register your fingerprint from the first time?
The more you use the Galaxy S5,
the more you realize that the fingerprint scanner would rarely ever
recognize your paw's unique signature from the first time. Try it again,
then again, then again, and then just when you're ready to give it up,
it recognizes it. Do you have the nerve for that many tries, though?
2. Vibration that could wake up the dead
The default vibration for the
Galaxy S5 is set to be so strong that it could literally wake up the
dead. Well, maybe not literally, but boy, does it get close to it.
Luckily, there's actually a solution for that: go into settings ->
sound -> vibration intensity, and set it to lower.
3. Phonebook and contacts app still lags, thank TouchWiz for that
Can you believe that TouchWiz
still stutters here and there? Even with the newest and most powerful
quad-core Snapdragon 801 system chip on board. The slowdown is
especially noticeable in contacts app when you try to call someone.
4. UI design is a mix of everything
TouchWiz is evolving, but on this
path of evolution it does not scrap old features - it simply
accumulates them one over the other, and the end-result is a UI that has
more different elements than there are items in a garage sale.
