Today at the Mobile World Congress in
Barcelona, Samsung officially unveiled its newest flagship phone, the
Galaxy S5.
Now we have the opportunity to check out
the phone ahead of time and play around with some of its new features. Check
out the photo gallery below for a closer look at the Galaxy S5.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 probably isn't the
reinvention of the smartphone. But unlike last year's Galaxy S4, there's a good
chance some of the new features announced could be of actual use to normal
human beings.
Some details about this phone:
Display
The 5.1 inch display has the same 1080p
resolution as last year's 5-inch screen, but due to some new technology, it's
definitely brighter, which at the very least, makes everything look nicer. And
according to Samsung, the special technology which makes that screen brighter
also improves performance in direct sunlight. At the expense of your battery, of
course.
Fingerprint
Scanner
Like the iPhone 5S, the fingerprint scanner
is probably the most eye-catching of the new features, which adds an extra
level of security and/or convenience to the device. While it does require you
to swipe your whole finger pad over the sensor (unlike the iPhone, which simply
lets you place it on the sensor), it worked smoothly the few times I was able
to use it.
Power Saver
Battery life matters! Samsung put a
slightly bigger battery in the Galaxy S5, but the more important thing was to
offer up a useful power saver feature which lets you know what parts of the
phone to turn off, and how much battery life that will gain you. It's most
extreme mode will actually shut down LTE, cut you off from the vast majority of
your apps, and turn the screen grey scale, apparently allowing it to last for
days without a charge.
There is more information, and let’s wait.
Don’t forget you favorite TV plays.
