It was presented today Galaxy S5, the new whooping cough of the Korean brand, which brought as expected a series of new things, many of them were already waiting due to leaks of information, but there are some completely new ones, so let's do that.
The design was where you will least notice differences between the S5 and its predecessor S4. It is slightly larger and heavier than the S4 and as much as you would expect for two versions, one in plastic and one in metal, there was not, there was only the familiar plastic body with a metal appearance. At the front, little or nothing is noticeable in differences between the S4 and S5, while the rear is different. In the S5 the rear has a kind of perforations that allow the feeling of holding the device to be much more comfortable and less slippery than in the S4, giving a completely different presentation. Completely innovative there is a heart rate meter on the back of the device.
Another novelty on the outside of the S5 is the protection of the USB port that now exists to make the S5 waterproof. True, one of the rumors about the S5 has been confirmed and now the Galaxy has an IP67 certification, which means it is water resistant (not waterproof) and dust and according to Samsung can be submerged up to 30 minutes in 3 meters deep.
The screen is slightly larger, now it is 5.1 '', it keeps the 1080p and the display continues Super AMOLED, in this matter there are few changes. As expected the response to Apple arrived and the S5 now has a fingerprint reader but it is on the screen of the device and not the button as in the iPhone 5S, reality far removed from the rumors of retinal reader and others announced.
The S5 will be equipped with Android 4.4.2 KitKat customized with the usual Samsung interface. The huge news this year was undoubtedly the company's big bet on fitness apps that will be combined with other company products announced at the same conference (Galaxy Gear 2 and Galaxy Gear fit). The S5 has a 2.5GHz quad-core processor, with 2GB of RAM, a bigger and longer battery and a new energy conservation mode. The camera now has a 16 megapixel sensor and records 4K videos.
S5 will initially have four colors, black, white, blue and gold, and has the worldwide launch scheduled for April 11. On prices, nothing is known yet because Samsung has not yet released.
