Now that the Samsung Galaxy S5 is official, it's time to see how it compares to some of the other flagship smartphones on the market.
We've compared the Galaxy S5 with the iPhone 5S, the Nexus 5 and the Nokia Lumia Icon.
Spec-wise, the Galaxy S5 is largely similar to its Android and Windows Phone competition. Its screen is 5.1 inches and has a resolution of 1920 x 1080, which in 2014 is almost standard.
Like the iPhone 5S, the Galaxy S5 has a fingerprint sensor. It's also dust- and water-resistant — similar to the Galaxy S4 Active we saw last year. Like the Nexus 5, the Samsung Galaxy S5 runs Android 4.4.2 Kitkat.
