Is the Galaxy S5 a rush to upgrade?

The new Samsung Galaxy S5 has been defined by the word evolution. It is a great upgrade from the Galaxy S4 but it is not a revolutionary change to Samsung Galaxy phones. The spec sheet without a doubt doesn't let down: 16-megapixel camera (with fast auto focusing clearer and faster snaps) a powerful S health app, a 2.5GHz quad core CPU, a stronger 2800mAh battery life, 16/32 GB of memory (upgradable to 128GB with microSD), 1080p 5.1 inch screen, microUSB 3.0, water and dust resistan

t IP67 certification, heart rate sensor and fingerprint scanner. It also includes a tactile back cover that is still plastic but gives a better feel than the S4 design. Samsung designs for the Galaxy phones have been a disappointment over the years.

If you've seen the Galaxy s devices over the last few years you know that it is time for a serious upgrade in the design. The blue and copper color options are more attractive, but still can be beaten out by the appeal of other devices. Designs from competitors like the iPhone and the new HTC One M8 have more of an eye candy physique. When people buy phones the first thing that stands out to them is the design and size. The Samsung Galaxy S5 design is better than the S4 but future Galaxy phones needs to be better to compete with other competitor designs. The fingerprint scanner can be annoying to use and the heart rate sensor is more of a perk that won’t be used by most people.

As stated before the Galaxy S5 is only a small upgrade from the Galaxy S4. The bottom line of this phone is that is has improved specs and it is smartly refined. It is still one of the great super phones that hit every class but design.  Is the Galaxy S5 worth the upgrade?
