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.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Specifications

• 5.1-inch full HD (1920×1080 pixels) Super AMOLED display
• 2.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor
• Android 4.4.2 (KitKat)
• 16MP rear camera with LED Flash, BSI and 4Kvideo recording
• 2.1MP front-facing camera
• IP67 ratings for Dust and water Resistance.
• 8.1 mm thick and weighs 145 grams
• 2GB RAM, 16GB / 32GB internal memory,  expandable up to 64GB with microSD
• Infrared LED for smart TV remote
• S Health 3.0, Heart rate sensor
• 4G LTE-A, Wi-Fi 802.11ac (2X2 MIMO), Bluetooth v4.0 LE, GPS, USB 3.0 and NFC
• 2800 mAh Battery
  

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.

0 Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 Specifications and Lowest Price

The Samsung Galaxy Grand 2 comes as a seemingly necessary update to the popular Galaxy Grand, as competition has gotten quite hot in the Rs. 20k segment. A hit upon launch, the original Grand was soon overtaken by many handsets that had better specifications, sometimes at a lower price too. Samsung finally fights back by upgrading two of the most criticised components; the display and the processor. While the Grand had a low 800 x 480 pixel resolution, the Grand 2 gets updated to a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution. The screen size is slightly larger at 5.2 inches without any considerable increase in the overall dimensions. Next, the dual-core chip on the original is updated to a quad-core processor clocked at the same 1.2GHz. RAM is also upped to 1.5GB. The battery is also bigger; now at 2600 mAh.

Pros

• Good display
• Quad-core Snapdragon 400 SoC ensures great performance
• Very good camera
• Dual SIM connectivity

Cons

• Heavily bloated TouchWiz
• All plastic build
• Occasional lags
• Isn’t great for HD gaming
• A bit on the expensive side

 Price - Rs. 20,592 (Tradus)

0 Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Full Specs

Samsung's freshly unveiled Galaxy Note 3 phablet has been treated to a bigger screen, a high-performance mobile processor and a new finish. We get a closer look at this latest outsized handset and its updated spec sheet at the IFA 2013 trade show in Berlin.

Screen size keeps creeping gradually upwards with the Samsung Galaxy Note series. After trying out 5.2" then 5.5" formats, the latest addition to the Note range can be seen sporting a 5.7" display. The screen itself is still based on AMOLED technology and resolution has been upped to Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels). What's more, Samsung has once again chosen to out two different versions of this phablet—one for Asian markets running a home-grown Exynos 5420 SoC and one for the rest of the world with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800.

As seen in other devices, the Snapdragon 800 is a 2.3 GHz quad-core CPU with an Adreno 330 iGPU that breezes its way through games. There's also a 3G/4G LTE modem onboard. The Note 3 has 3 GB of RAM and runs on a 3200 mAh battery, adding 100 mAh to the previous model. It'll be available from 25 September in 32 GB and 64 GB versions.
