New Features :

Although At first sight it resembles S4 with a little bit more  curved edges and a Slightly new finish, it is quite different. The home button is also the fingerprint sensor which is an added security feature and can also be used with paypal. unlike the s4 it is also dust and water resistant which adds significant durability to the new handset. Heart rate monitor is also an added feature.

Goodies :

Excellent screen, which sharp natural colours, one of the brightest available in the market right now. Excellent Battery life. Stunning Camera with loads of features and blazing fast and reduced bloat ware.

Flaws :

First of All it has the same problem that comes in most of the Samsung's devices i.e. Plastic body. it feels cheap in the hand as compared to its other rivals available in the market. Besides this Fingerprint scanner and Heart rate monitor although a new added feature but need a lot of improvement as are not accurate enough and for some s4 users the upgrade may not be worth.

General Opinion :

Samsung has made many efforts keep its device at par with the other rivals at the market and in some areas it does it well and fails in others. If u want a phone with a Excellent hardware features compromising on the design u can go for it but if design is a priority opt other devices available in the market
