Samsung presents to the public the new Galaxy S5
Samsung has just officially announced the new Galaxy S5, top-range Android successor to the popular Galaxy S4. For years, Samsung has accustomed us to the device faster and faster, performing, especially with very unique features.
The design of the Galaxy S5 does not deviate much from its predecessor. The front panel of the new top-range Samsung offers a slightly larger display of the Galaxy S4, while postponing an Amoled (active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) to 1080P.
Below the screen, there are several new features including a fingerprint reader, introduced for the first time in a smartphone by Apple with the iPhone 5S, and the new multitasking button that replaces the ” menu ” .
The materials of this new Galaxy are the same as its predecessor: a polycarbonate frame with a finish that makes it less ” plasticky “. The back of the device has changed compared to the old S4, with a rubbery soft-touch finish, Samsung Galaxy S5 has a feeling very similar to the original Nexus 7 by Google in 2012.
Samsung Galaxy S5 is equipped with the latest version of Android currently released by Google, the KitKat 4.4.2, with the classic customizations, including the well-known TouchWiz and a wide range of applications made-in-Samsung.
Let’s talk about brute force. Galaxy S5 is equipped with a quad-core processor at 2.5GHz, accompanied by 2GB of RAM and a bigger battery that can take us to the end of the day without any problems. The camera is compatible with 4K video from 16megapixel and capable of processing real-time photo using HDR technology.
Galaxy S5 is equipped with the fastest autofocus ever seen in a smartphone: in just 0.3 seconds, the smartphone can focus and take the picture without any problems. Galaxy S5 is the first smartphone to integrate, under the camera, a sensor for measuring the pressure.
The killer application of this Samsung Galaxy S5 is definitely the fingerprint reader. As well as on the iPhone 5S, the fingerprint reader allows us to make our smartphones more secure as it can be used as a method of unlocking the display and confirmation of PayPal purchases and Play Store. Galaxy S5 will be available in 4 different colors: black, blue, white and gold.
With Galaxy S4, Samsung has managed to create a complete device, fast but not perfect. S5, the South Korean company wants to achieve perfection in all points of view. We cannot wait to test it thoroughly in order to confirm (or refute) the words of Samsung during the presentation. The new top-range Samsung will be on sale starting in April at the same price of the Samsung Galaxy S4.
