If you swipe to the far left of the display, you'll enter Samsung's "My Magazine" interface, which is basically just like Flipboard and seemingly a copy-cat iteration of HTC's BlinkFeed news interface. You're better of looking into fitness bands for more accurate readings on that kind of information. In 10 minutes sitting at my desk the pedometer said I had already taken 18 steps. You can set goals for how many steps you want to hit each day, or how many calories you hope to burn, and then view all of your data in a log.
Samsung's S Health 3.0 application can be used to help track steps, calories burned, calories eaten, your heart rate and more. It's not as good as the always-on Moto X, but it's an improvement over the One (M8) that doesn't offer the feature. I really like that the S5 supports audio commands anytime the screen is on and the Google Search bar is nearby - so I can say "Ok Google" and ask the weather without tapping the icon, for example. It's also much quicker in general, though that could be thanks to the Snapdragon 801 chip under the hood. The top quick navigation bar is flatter and a lot easier on the eyes. TouchWiz is just as colorful and intrusive as it has been, but it's also been cleaned up in a lot of ways.

The Galaxy S5 runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat out of the box and also includes Samsung's new iteration of TouchWiz (or Nature UX). Ultimately, I understand the decision to use plastic, too, since IP67 resistance is probably harder to promise with metal instead of plastic - and the water resistance worked well in our brief test. Reviewers have been clamoring for the South Korean-based company to use more premium materials for years now but, so long as its devices keep selling like hotcakes, Samsung has been reluctant to do so. I wish there were more distinguishing industrial design changes. Overall, the hardware reminds us a bit too much of the Galaxy S4, and it kind of takes the excitement away from feeling like you're holding a brand new and more powerful device. Data was on a par with other AT&T devices we've tested in our Irvine offices. Likewise, the speaker was loud enough and should work well while playing back music or during conference calls. The Galaxy S5 sounded great during our tests and calls were clear, as expected. Silly as it sounds, we still like to address the actual phone function of a smartphone - even if we don't give it its own section. The aforementioned hatch on the microUSB port helps prevent water damage, as does a rubber ring that runs underneath the back panel. Since the Galaxy S5 is IP67 rated for resistance against water and dust, it's also capable of being submerged in up to 1 meter of water for a half hour, which means it can technically survive in the shower, or if it's dropped in the pool or a toilet. Under the hood, there's a 2,800mAh battery, a Snapdragon 801 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage (or 32GB), and a slot for adding up to a 128GB microSD card. We tested the white model in addition to the svelte black option,and particularly liked the pearly white finish of the former. The back cover is flimsy plastic - same as always - but has a nice soft touch feel to it and looks rather premium. We'll address that later in the review, but it's relatively unique - even though there are apps on other platforms that basically let you do the same thing with an existing LED flash. There's a new 16-megapixel camera with a single LED flash and sensors that help monitor your heart rate. On the back of the phone is where things change a bit. The home button below the display looks like last year's but it's drastically different thanks to included fingerprint reader. Moving around the device, the volume controls are in easy reach on the top-left of the phone, there's a 3.5mm headphone jack sitting across from an IR blaster up top, and a power button sits on the right-side of the device. No wonder it was dubbed the best smartphone display on the market recently.
It's a Super AMOLED display, which usually struggles under direct sunlight, though it actually looked really good in our tests.

Samsung upped the screen size to 5.1-inches this year, and the 1920 x 1080p screen is colorful and crisp.
