Review: Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport for Sprint

Form Performance Basics Extras Wrap-Up Comments  5  

Like the Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S5 Sport is a solid device and good all-around smartphone. It manages to score well on all the basics and then some. The hardware is decent, the screen amazing, and call quality, battery life, and data performance all shine.

The TouchWiz-enhanced user interface is a jumble of sorts, but offers incredible flexibility when it comes to personalization. The GS5 Sport might have a slightly steeper learning curve than other devices, but power users will appreciate the possibilities once they make the climb. The media options are solid, and the camera does a great job.

But I find the Samsung Galaxy S5 Sport to be a bit puzzling.

At the end of the day, the GS5 Sport just isn't different enough from the standard GS5 to warrant its existence. The modified shell is really the only significant thing that differentiates the GS5 Sport from the Galaxy S5, and that's not enough for me.

You can't go wrong with the Galaxy S5 Sport, but you can't go wrong with the Galaxy S5, either.
