Last February, Samsung took to the stage at Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona to announce its fifth-generation Galaxy S. The Samsung Galaxy S5 took the place of the Samsung Galaxy S4 and it introduced a number of big time changes including a brand new design with water resistance, an improved display, a tweaked camera, new TouchWiz software features, Android 4.4 KitKat, and more. The Galaxy S5 release date landed in April for most countries including the United States.

For nearly a year, the Samsung Galaxy S5 has ruled as Samsung’s flagship phone and its challenger to rivals like the iPhone 6, LG G3 and Moto X. The device has since been joined by the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, the fourth-gen Galaxy Note, though its days appear numbered.
