SAMSUNG GALAXY S5

NEW SAMSUNG GALAXY S5

Samsung has introduced its new Galaxy S5 and readies for market model that aims to maintain its privileged status within the high-end Android.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 just be exposed in Barcelona and we have found a terminal continuity in almost all design , finished in plastic screen but with news that the Galaxy S5 can now say that it is waterproof and includes a biometric identifier of our footprint on the start button and a sensor to measure our pulse on the rear.

Samsung Galaxy S5:

 Waterproof:

If the Galaxy S4 with the Korean company not risked in the design , sure to keep ( in my opinion quite rightly , but not everyone sees it that) some personality in the terminal , with the new Samsung Galaxy S5 we have more of the same. Are three generations with little change and that can be passed as invoice level recognize that something has changed.

The design of the Samsung Galaxy S5 remains mild in shapes and finished in plastic , even simulating the skin as in Note 3 with a perforated design that should be more comfortable to hold than just plastic. It is true that we also have in simulating metal frame , but it is still plastic, which can leave it another year away in that section of the other large terminal segment and maintain a certain group of consumers feel that with these finishes can not qualify for a premium price or really considered high end .
S5 Galaxy Finish

Where did you successful with your new Samsung phone is to give resistance to water and dirt. That IP67 protection against dirt and water do we meet with something that might not appeal to everyone : a cover for the microUSB 3.0 port. Yes, it's a real chore having to remove it and put it .

The 2k screen will have to wait:

All hopes to see a revolution in this Galaxy S5 were on your screen if we ignore the issue of design and finish. But there was no surprise and Koreans have maintained the Super AMOLED screen of 5 inches ( specifically 5.1 inches) with 1080p resolution. Nothing for 2k resolution as many expected for this MWC 2014. Surely that leap Samsung chooses to save for your other favorite son today, the Galaxy Note 3 which improves every year.

In terms of basic features , there is no big surprises. We have the Galaxy S5 driven by a quad-core processor at 2.5 Ghz , with 2 GB of RAM ( 3GB nothing like the Note) and the choice model with 16 or 32 GB, expandable with microSD cards .
The battery gives us the feeling that has been somewhat lagging behind rivals and is " only " 2800 mAh , yes, can be exchanged . Samsung promises 10 hours of web browsing and up to 12 in video playback, which is a very high amount .

The dimensions of the Samsung Galaxy S5 remain in good shape, with a weight of 145 grams and 8.1 mm thickness . High and has 142 mm wide, 72.5 mm. As for connectivity , for almost everything: LTE , microUSB 3.0, NFC , Ant + , Blueooth 4.0, Wifi 802.11 a / b / g / n / ac and infrared port . Curious is the function called Download Booster , linking WiFi and LTE connectivity while for large downloads.

The camera of the Galaxy S5 , now faster:

Samsung has placed its Galaxy S5 a new 16 megapixel sensor (secondary 2 MP ) seeking to reassert itself as one of the best cameras in the segment, but in the end , many of its rivals eventually win the game to media less so . Camera for Galaxy S5 has opted to improve the operating speed ( 0.3 seconds autofocus ) and include more improvements at the software level .

It is striking Selective Focus system, which as we are seeing in many terminals , allows an image using software refocus after taking the photo . Also the HDR mode has been improved and Samsung wants the option to choose when to take a picture with a lot of dynamic range. In this Galaxy S5 we can see in real time how I wanted this functionality if we apply the photo.

Another expected for the Samsung Galaxy S5 camera function is 4K/UHD video recording . Note they maintained three expected that the Samsung also added to this new Galaxy . It is also a function of these media that stand in packaging and cloud the view of consumers with "gross " megapixels.

The fingerprint reader on the start button:

And also pulse
The Galaxy S5 had to include a biometric identifier or yes . He saw it coming and finally been no surprises and Samsung has integrated into the start button. Given the oval shape of this button and its smaller size finger, Samsung system works by sliding your finger on the button.
This way we can identify include up to three users , and here Samsung has not been as conservative as Apple and opened a little hand . Payments , for example Paypal, be authorized to use our footprint instead of the usual password.

The surprise of the Galaxy we have found a sensor located right next to the LED flash camera . Wherever it is logical that the index finger or heart supported Samsung has placed a small camera in the style of the Press Withings that is able to measure our beats and give information about how our heart goes to the suite of the company that wants cuantificarnos maximum .
