And finally, its our most-viewed video of 2014! The Samsung Galaxy S5 hands-on! androidcentral/samsung-galaxy-s5 You math majors out there are already screaming — Of course this is your top video! Its also the oldest of the bunch! This is true. We got our first look at the Galaxy S5 at Mobile World Congress in February in Barcelona. And our initial impressions were pretty good. A good hardware iteration, and I, for one, was absolutely digging the new soft-touch back. And those colors. While the U.S. carriers stuck with the more boring black and white, the blue and gold numbers were striking. Never mind the Band-Aid jokes. The blue was (and still is — I imported a back cover) very striking. After spending some quality time with the GS5 our opinion was a bit tempered by the disappointing camera. But the excitement for the phone was evident, warts and all. Samsung doesnt do anything small, and this was part of another multi-release event, so we were a little rushed. But as far as first looks go, I was plenty happy with it. It was a hell of a way to kick off Mobile World Congress, and a hell of a start to the 2014 phone release cycle.
