It is the best camera phone with an IPXY rating.
The IP rating of Sansung Galaxy S5 is IP67. That means it is excellently dust proof and can survive the pressure at one meter deep under water for about 30 minutes. I'm giving a bath to my S5 Every Sunday. I'm using it on again of again since I received the review piece in April 2014.
There are better IP rated phones in the form of Sony Xperia Z series (Xperia Z2 and Z3 and Z3 compact are of the same generation of Galaxy S5). But the camera of Galaxy S5 is far better than that of Z2 and more or less better than that of the Z3 family phones.
In a side note, Galaxy Note 4 has the best camera among the Samsung phones of 2014. A friend of mine bought Xperia Z3 at the same time as I was testing the Note 4. We both agreed on one thing. At that time period Note 4 was the best phone in the world.
Again coming to the point, price is another thing to consider. Galaxy S5 is available in the price range of 22k-27k. You will get a phone with snapdragon 801 processor , excellent 16 mega pixel camera, and still one of the best screens in the world. As many may know from my Facebook posts, the screen of Galaxy S5 was the best on planet at that time.
You may think you can get a OnePlus One for around 20k. Right. But, it has many issues. There were touch issues of the screen. Camera isn't as good as the Galaxy S5 's. It has no IP rating. User interface may look a bit fluid, but another thing to consider is battery life. Samsung Galaxy S5 has excellent battery life so much so that a year old one is posting better times than that of a newly bought OnePlus One. Yes, there are phones with better battery life than Galaxy S5. But they are not in this price range. Service centres is another issue. You can find a Samsung service centre around any corner, but it's not the same for OnePlus one.
To summarise,
1. It has the best phone camera that has an IP rating
2. Fantastic screen this price point. It's the best indeed. Period
3. Excellent battery life and well, it's user replaceable.
4. Expandable memory upto 128gb.
5. Best processor at that price point.
6. Video watching and multitasking are shamelessly great. Once the screen is turned on, it's magic
7. Best yet, it'll surely get Android M as early as Janurary 2016.
8. The phone aged well.
Want to know best deals, just as me
