Samsung’s Galaxy S5 has plenty of upgrades - so why does it feel so meh?

Samsung's newest flagship is finally here. With the Galaxy S5, Samsung hopes to break out of the boring spec-bump-style upgrade that the company said hindered sales of the Galaxy S4. While the design is mostly the same (and we might say a little worse), Samsung's solution to consumer indifference is a boatload of extra features. With the S5, Samsung added things like a fingerprint scanner, a heart rate monitor, and water resistance.

A spec bump also happened of course—just about every number on the spec sheet is bigger than it was last year. The S5 has a faster Snapdragon 801 processor, a better camera, better Wi-Fi, and a display that is both brighter in sunlight and dimmer in darkness.
