Samsung Galaxy S5 has tepid design, but plenty of specs appeal (hands-on)

BARCELONA, Spain -- Metal body design? Nope. Eye-wateringly crisp 2K+ display? Nuh-uh. Overhauled
Android interface? Only a little.

After all the rumors and hype, the Samsung Galaxy S5 revealed with much fanfare at Mobile World Congress
on Monday is more an iteration on the Galaxy S line than the fresh, whiz-bang package we'd all come to hope
for and even expect.

Yes, it has a fingerprint scanner, and a heart rate sensor, too, not to mention Android 4.4 KitKat and a roster
of muscular specs. From what I've seen, the Galaxy S5 shapes up to be an excellent device that will keep
Samsung at or near the top of the smartphone heap. Yet the been-there, done-that design isn't novel enough
to trample rivals the way Samsung might hope.

Samsung still has a ways to go to re-inspire jaded followers and fans. And those who value luxury
materials and crafted designs over Samsung's stamped-out phones should keep the door open for
Apple's iPhone 6 and HTC's forthcoming sequel to the beautiful HTC One.
