From my understanding I know JSon is required but I'm not that knowledgeable with Json and I want to add the Galaxy S5 & S6 to Chrome device list where you find other Apple & Android devices ?

Galaxy S5 is already included. You can see it in Chrome Canary.

S6 isn't yet in our list. You can give us a pull request here: https://github.com/googlechrome/devtools-device-data

It's not listed in my version of Google Chrome 48.0.2 ?
Are you suggesting I use Canary over Chrome for Web Dev ?

It will be in your next version (chrome 49).

So you can wait for a few weeks or add these devices in your custom devices setup.

What do I add for;

-Device Name
- Width
- Height
- Device Pixel Ration
- User Agent String

As I don't know that information for those two devices ?

I assume once the correct info is entered I'll see the device show in Chrome.

I added the device as listed from the page link. I know it's emulating but it's not identical as to that of a real Galaxy S5. 

I know you may be saying to yourself, yes but as I mentioned it's only emulating, this is true, but I've done a comparison with another Android device a while back emulating in Chrome Device tools using the same real life counterpart and the emulation was spot on exact displaying the same problem as the real life counterpart ?

I found the problem, maybe Paul can answer this; Is it possible to emulate with Chrome a Galaxy S5 & S6 at these resolutions ?

1080 / 1920 - Lollipop
1440 / 2560 - Lollipop

Replacing the resolution for the S5 agent string posted by Phistuck, doesn't do the trick ?

Did you also change the device-pixel-ratio? I mean, I presume it is not the same for both of them...
