0 What's New in Samsung S5

Samsung Galaxy S5 was finally unveiled after a host of leaks and rumors. Samsung isn't shy when it comes to loading its top-of-the-range phones with headline-grabbing specs, and the Galaxy S5 is no different. Center stage is its quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor, which runs at a blistering 2.5GHz. This chip, paired with 2GB of RAM, means the phone shouldn't have any bother smoothly running any app you throw at it. One thing to note: it isn't 64-bit – that’s probably going to be a feature of next year’s Samsung flagship.

These are the specs of Samsung S5 but what's are the changes from S4 lets have a look on it:-

WATERPROOF

One major improvement over the S4 is IP67 waterproofing, bringing the S5 into line with Sony’s Xperia phones. It’s sealed to prevent any water or dust getting inside, so you can dunk the handset into water for as long as 30 minutes and it won’t protest one bit.

Fingerprint Scanner

Samsung has fitted the S5 with a fingerprint scanner, which serves three main purposes.

1. It can swiftly unlock the phone, which works much like the Touch ID sensor on Apple's iPhone 5s.
2. Next function is instant online mobile payments via PayPal integration.
3. Last is to protect important documents with a Private Mode that's unlocked by your fingerprint.

New S Health app with heartrate sensor

Round the back, there's a heartrate sensor – the first ever seen on a smartphone, designed to play nice with Samsung's revised S Health app.

Samsung has focussed heavily on fitness with the Galaxy S5, equipping it with a brand new version of the S Health app that provides a FitBit-style activity tracker that helps you monitor your workouts and diet. S Health 3.0 is also aided by the built-in heart rate monitor and designed to integrate fully with Samsung’s new wearable tech: the Galaxy Gear 2, Galaxy Gear 2 Neo and Galaxy Gear Fit – meaning you can keep an eye on your activity without having to stop to haul the S5 out of your pocket.
