The left soft button brings up the task manager instead of menu and the right soft button serves as a back button. Below the display is the physical home button with soft touch buttons on either side that light up when activated (not shown). I enjoy viewing pics, surfing and reading books using the S5.Ībove the display is the earphone, front facing camera and ambient light sensor. 1 inches larger than the S4, but the size increase isn’t noticeable at all.
The front of the phone has a 5.1 inch display that is bright, crisp and vivid. As you can see, Verizon sent me the white version to test. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is available in white or black. It’s still made of plastic with chrome accents that look like metal but aren’t. It’s a little more rectangular than the S4 and looks really similar to my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 as you can see above. Samsung hasn’t really departed very much from the styling that they’ve been using since their first Galaxy phone and the new S5 doesn’t look all that different than the Samsung Galaxy S4 from last year.
