At this price, the device offers the best camera and the best display when compared to its competitors in the price range.
The Galaxy S5 features a 5.1-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection, Android 5.0 Lollipop, an octa-core Exynos 5430 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage, a microSD card slot, and a 2,800 mAh battery.

Other features include a fingerprint sensor, a water- and dust-resistant body with IP67 certification, a heart-rate monitor, and S Health fitness tracker.
