It really shows that Samsung wasn't joking when they said they were going back to the basics. They have improved the Camera tremondously, the display is in a whole new realm and battery life has been tested and shown to be better than the Note 3's. Add to that mix the solid build quality and the speedy performance of touchwiz and Samsung has a true winner on there hands.

Last year I was the first one to criticize the screen for ist lack of brightness and color inaccuracies, in particular the greenish whites for web browsing.
I also said that last year, DisplayMate's Review was misleading and I spent a lot of time raising awareness about the true bightness levels for different content types.

I am happy I that I did make a lot of noise with that, because it seems I have been heard! Tthe DisplayMate article and my own testing confirms that the white balance is more neutral now and chromaticty is excellent - you can tell Samsung have worked on this by the type of wallpapers they have chosen to include on the S5, a few of which show primary colors instead of the blue dominated ones previously.
I will post my own results later because the Displaymate test doesn't reveal the grey balance at each intensity Level and also it is not clear in the test whether the 600cd/m² Level is reached at any average picture Level or only at 1% white content. Probably the latter.
Still, even at higher APL, it looks like there are brightness gains vs. the S4. I will analyse that and show comparative graphs between S4 and S5.
This will probably be the first AMOLED Display that I will enjoy.
Now if only they could make the lag disappear...
