Samsung Galaxy S5 announced with 5.10-inch display 2.5GHz processor,2GB RAM and 16-MP camera
Samsung has announced it's latest Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone in MWC event just now. along with the new bumped up specs the device also features some awesome health monitoring features like heart beat tracker inbuilt.
The Samsung GS5 has top-of-the-line 2.5GHz Snapdragon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM, an IR remote, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 BLE/ANT+, Cat 4 LTE (up to 150Mbps down/50Mbps up) and your choice of 16GB or 32GB of internal storage. a few new useful hardware add-on features including a fingerprint scanner, heart rate sensor, and a new completely customized TouchWiz UI on top of Android 4.4 KitKat.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 comes with a 16-megapixel sensor that features UHD recording capability and real-time HDR (both photos and video) and a couple new modes. Samsung is introducing a selective focus feature that's much like Nokia's Refocus Lens, in which you can change the depth of field on an image after it's taken. Additionally, it also has "Shot & More," which is essentially your standard suite of best photo, eraser and drama;there's also a 2.1-megapixel camera on the front.
In video mode the camera can manage 4K UHD recording at 3840 x 2160 resolution. This worked fine but really chewed up the storage, and probably battery we'd imagine. But with microSD expansion that's not too much of a worry for anyone eager to get more use out of their 4K TV.
The new Galaxy s5 features the same 1080p Super AMOLED panel as the Galaxy S4; slightly larger, at 5.1 inches. Additionally, the GS5 comes with a swappable back cover, micro SD slot and removable 2,800 mAh battery, which has a higher capacity than last year's model. It's also IP67-certified, which means water and dust resistance never before enjoyed by Galaxy S users (unless you count the GS4 Active, that is). As a result, the micro-USB 3.0 port at the bottom is protected by a tab that keeps water from getting inside. also the device has a "leather-like," back panel which basically means it's a fancy-looking poly carbonate build.
Samsung' Galaxy S5's fingerprint scanner works by swiping your finger down over the home button, has a few handy use cases. In addition to the obligatory phone unlock option, it also lets you fingerprint-protect a private data locker on your phone, in case you have confidential information you don't want getting out there. Samsung also announced a partnership with PayPal which allows you to make online payments using the fingerprint method. Unfortunately, we're still waiting to hear back on exactly how Samsung will implement security and privacy concerns with the scanner.
Setting up the fingerprint scanner requires eight swipes of the button to teach the S5 the print of the digit you want to use, so when you need to unlock the device in future your print is recognised. Up to three fingerprints can be registered at one time. A simple swipe seemed to unlock the phone perfectly everytime we used it.
The other major new hardware feature is the heart rate sensor, which is built into the same rear module as the LED flash. It works in conjunction with S-Health 3.0, which acts as a personal life coach of sorts. To monitor your pulse, hold your finger up to the sensor and leave it there while the phone does the rest of the work. As you continue to do this more often, S-Health remembers your history and even goes through the effort of graphing it and offering up other relevant information. It also acts as a pedometer and food monitor. Samsung plans to offer an open SDK for developers to incorporate the tech into their own apps.
We would hope this new Samsung beast will be announced very shortly, keep tuned with us for more details.
