The much anticipated Samsung Galaxy S5 is already gaining rave reviews , but how does it compare to the Galaxy S4 ? The original Next Best Thing -- Samsung's old moniker for the S4 -- has the S5 -- The New Best Thing -- nipping at its heels, but is newer automatically better?

The 5.1-inch Galaxy S5 boasts a slightly bigger display, the fastest quad-core processor on the market, and token high-end features -- a heart-rate monitor and fingerprint scanner. Like the Galaxy S4, the S5 has a plastic body, but instead rocks a dimpled matte cover that dodges the smudge-prone nature of its predecessor.

These relatively humdrum upgrades make the Galaxy S5, as Jessica Dolcourt says, more of an enhanced S4 --like a Galaxy S4 Plus.

Are you impressed by the Galaxy S5 or underwhelmed? Maybe even whelmed? Check out the specs and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
