At 142mm tall by 72.5 wide it’s a bit of a stretch to reach the top of the screen if you’ve not got big hands. Samsung has managed to fit the 5.1-inch screen into a tidy size. Its IP67 certified, which means you can dip it up to 1m of water for 30 minutes. If you’re keen on using your phone in the bath or near water this may be a killer feature for you. One thing that the Samsung Galaxy S5’s design allows for is water-resistance. However, it makes the phone uncomfortable to hold for long periods. In one sense this is good as it offers some protection to the screen. Something that isn’t is the plastic ridge that rises a little above the screen of the Samsung Galaxy S5. That rear has had a mixed reception (comparisons to a plaster are never welcome), but it is an improvement on the cheap, slimy plastic of the Galaxy S4.
The curved edges sit well in your hand, but removing it from your pocket always feels like it’s one slip away from becoming a very expensive paperweight. The aluminium back isn’t as grippy as the S5’s removable dimpled rear, though. It’s 2mm thinner and 5mm narrower which makes it a good deal easier to handle. From a purely design aesthetic there’s no contest – the iPhone 6 looks miles slicker than the S5.Įrgonomically the iPhone 6 trumps the Galaxy S5 too. Where the iPhone is a smooth seamless union of metal and glass the Galaxy S5 is an uneasy merger of soft touch plastic and hard plastic edges painted to look like metal.
