Samsung Galaxy S5 Launched. Catch The Specifications Here
The phone runs Android 4.4 Kit Kat, and while it still has the TouchWiz UI, it has been cleaned up to look a lot better.
Samsung Galaxy S5 comes with a 5.1-inch display. It comes with a removable back cover as well. The Galaxy S5 variant being released in India is powered by 1.9GHz Exynos octa-core processor unlike the European or North American Galaxy S5 variants, which packs 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor. On the inside, the smartphone comes with 2GB of RAM, an IR remote, NFC, Bluetooth 4.0 BLE/ANT+ and Cat 4 LTE. At the time of launch, Samsung had showed two variants of Samsung Galaxy S5, one with 16GB internal storage while the other had 32GB.
Samsung Galaxy S5 packs in a hefty 2,800 mAh, and the smartphone comes with some power-saving features so apparently even when your phone hits 10 percent, it can last another 24 hours on standby. Additionally, the S5 comes with USB 3.0, a 2.1 MP front-facing camera, and a dual-LED flash.
The display is the same 1920 x 1080 Super AMOLED screen as the S4. That's a little disappointing as we had rumors that Samsung Galaxy S5 display will be significantly upgraded to 2560 x 1440 pixels. But less pixels also means less battery drain.
The camera, on the other hand, has bumped up quite a bit to 16MP and comes with a whole slew of new features.
The S5 also comes fitted with a heart rate monitor, which is built into the back of the phone on the same part as the LED flash. Teamed up with the S-Health app, and your S5 is also a fitness tracker.
