Unpacked: Samsung Galaxy S5 goes official
Samsung unpacks its newest flagship - the Galaxy S5. Finally the most anticipated handset from the top dog in the industry with so much expectation, will it deliver? Lets find out...
Samsung has taken another route from smooth glossy plastic to a dotted pattern leather-like soft touch back that comes in shades of Charcoal Black, Shimmery White, Electric Blue and Copper Gold. It kinda industrialized the look of the GS5 with great mix of chrome polycarbonate and glass fiber material. With comparison to the GS4, its a tad taller, wider and thicker and goes the same with the bezel. The design and construction is to facilitate the water and dust resistance IP67-certification of the GS5 that took a toll on the overall look and feel of the device.
A retention of the Full HD 1080p Super AMOLED Display of its predecessor but bump to 5.1 inches for GS5. Samsung has improved brightness levels for better sunlight legibility and dimmer modes for night-time viewing.
On the front not much change has been implemented, still making use of physical home button and capacitive keys. Underneath there is new feature Swipe Finger Scanner embedded that unlocks your phone and serves as a security to protect your files and authenticate online payments with PayPal.
As a flagship, it offers top notch hardware powered by 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 processor supported with 2GB RAM and 16GB/32GB Internal Storage (expandable up to 128GB via microSD). It also offers the wide range of connectivity with Cat 4 LTE (up to 150Mbps down/50Mbps up), Bluetooth 4.0 BLE/ANT+, IR remote, and NFC. It also boast to be the first smartphone to support WiFi 802.11ac with MIMO bringing the multiple antenna capabilities found in tablets and home wireless networking devices. Download Booster makes use of WiFi and LTE at the same time to get faster download speeds.
In terms of camera, it features a 16MP primary snapper with a 1/2.5" sensor to accommodate more pixels as well as offering 4K recording at 30fps and advanced High Dynamic Range (HDR) to "reproduce natural light and color with striking intensity at any circumstances." The GS5 also boast to being have the fastest autofocus at .03 seconds with the help of Phase Detection Auto-Focus. Some added features includes Selective Focus (Nokia ReFocus rings a bell) and additional modes like "Shot & More." It also has a dedicated front camera at 2MP.
Oh another thing you will notice, on the side of the LED Flash is the heart rate sensor by simply putting your fingers on it, the S-Health 3.0 application comes in and analyze feed relevant information and track history.
Battery is at a modest of 2800mAh but with the Ultra Power Saving Mode that manages your screen and processes that stretches your phone usability.
With the New Android 4.4.2 Kitkat comes a New TouchWiz that offers flatter, round icons, reworked menus, and some new features.
