Pros. Very nice screen, bigger screen, better battery life (depending on usage). Fantastic camera, possibly better than the 5S depending on what you like in a camera.

Cons: plastic and feels cheap. Freaking TouchWiz UI is laggy as hell, lots of garbage bloatware from the carrier and samsung. Bunch of stuff that only "kinda" works like the fingerprint scanner and air gestures.

My verdict: don't get it if you have an iphone 5S. If you really want something else just wait for the LG G3, get the HTC One M8 or wait for the iPhone 6.

Air gestures only sometimes works on my phone too.

This bothers me as well. You can't uninstall it either.

Plastic is for the impact. Don't you put a cover over it? Touchwiz can be gotten rid of by rooting. Bloatware can be disabled or uninstalled by rooting and just turn of the gesture stuff.

Wait.... IIRC the S5 can't be rooted is that correct at the moment?
