If you've just unwrapped a Samsung Galaxy S5 this Christmas then you're in for a treat with Samsung's decent flagship phone. Here are some of the best accessories you can buy to make it even better.
Samsung Galaxy S5 S-View Premium Cover Case
£24.99 ($16.99, around AU$59.95)
Samsung's official S-View case for the Galaxy S5 is an incredibly versatile accessory. Not only does it keep the S5 from being damaged by knocks and scratches, but the 'S-View' window allows you to view and answer incoming calls, check the weather, control music and lots more, all without having to open the case.
It can also automatically customise the background of the S5's screen to match the colour of the case you've attached.
Samsung Galaxy Gear 2
£284.85 ($369.97, around AU$450)
The Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 is perhaps the ultimate accessories for the Samsung Galaxy S5 that lets you access the power of the Galaxy S5 from your wrist.
Just connect the Galaxy Gear 2 to the S5 via Bluetooth and you'll be able to make and receive calls, read messages and track your health through the smartwatch. It's also waterproof, like the Galaxy S5, so you don't have to worry about getting caught in the rain.
Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit
£159.95 ($159.95, around AU$195)
If you're more interested in getting fit than some of the other features of smartwatches, then the Samsung Galaxy Gear Fit is an excellent compliment to your brand new Samsung Galaxy S5. It concentrates on helping you keep healthy, is gorgeously designed and easy to use.
This doesn't mean that it's only interested in your health, as you can still read texts and emails that have been sent to your S5, all by conveniently glancing at your wrist.
Incipio Feather Shine Case
£21.95 ($13.19, around AU$16)
There's a lot to love about the Samsung Galaxy S5 but one of our complaints about Samsung's latest flagship handset is that its plastic body doesn't feel as premium – or as robust – as some of its competitors.
The incredibly thin Incipio Feather Shine Case solves this problem by giving the S5 a classy brushed aluminium outer shell that not only looks great but protects the handset as well.
Joby TightGrip Tripod Adapter
£9.99 (around $16, AU$19)
The Samsung Galaxy S5 includes an incredible camera that blows a lot of its competition out of the water, and it can even film video in 4K.
To make the most of the brilliant snapper make sure you pick up the Joby TightGrip Tripod Adapter that will let you attach the S5 to any tripod you like for amazing quality shots.
