Myna Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 (edited) One of the highest-caliber debuts at this year’s MWC, the Samsung Galaxy S5 was just unveiled at the Unpacked 5 event. The flagship opens a new chapter in Samsung's design – the back is still leather-like, but with a brand new look.We’re looking at a longer feature list fifth year in a row – IP67 certification is a big one and so are the fingerprint sensor and heart rate monitor, a first for a mobile device.The core features too were duly updated to put the Galaxy S5 ahead of its S4 predecessor – a 5.1" Super AMOLED screen of 1080p resolution, Snapdragon 800 chipset with 2GB of RAM, 150Mbps LTE and a 16MP camera.Update: Samsung's original info stated 1080p video recording, but it turns out it's actually UHD - that's 3840 x 2160.Another thing that didn’t turn out as whispered was TouchWiz – it's new and based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat, but not as flat as some Holo fans would have hoped.No switch to on-screen buttons either – the Galaxy S5 has three keys below the screen, this time an App Switcher button replacing the Menu key.The Galaxy S5 will be available in four colors initially - Black, White, Blue and Copper. The US is getting only the Black and White ones though.More Info @ GSMArenaReview can be found @ http://www.theverge.com/2014/2/24/5441668/samsung-galaxy-s5-announcement-launch Edited February 25, 2014 by Myna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted February 25, 2014 Administrator Share Posted February 25, 2014 The black version looks more like S II to me.I liked it though. However, due to the processor, the price won't be justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ffi Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 What an ugly phone, it looks like it was designed in 2010, still with a mechanical home button :wtf: and then that inconstisten mix with 2 capacitive buttons. Why not use all capacitive or even better on screen buttons? Why a heartrate sensor on a phone, it doesn't make sense, you want to use that during activity. The fingerprint scanner is impractical (you have to swipe, not press like the iphone 5s). No frontfacing speakers, no stereo speakersTouchwiz still looks ugly as hell, with a color scheme and theme which still fits gingerbread, then these ugly rounded new icons and tons of useless gimmicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
