What's new:
Design: More of the same
In designing the Milky Way S5, Samsung didn't acquire really far for inspiration. In fact, the Milky Way S5's trunk looks fifty-fifty to a greater extent than similar the Milky Way S4 than the GS4 did the Milky Way S3. It has rounded edges, the same steep sides alongside shiny in addition to ridged silvery trim, in addition to a slightly to a greater extent than rounded fundamental abode push shape to the S4's to a greater extent than rectangular outline.
The dorsum panel motif is different, I'll give Samsung that. Tiny dimples comprehend the rear, in addition to inward add-on to white in addition to dark (oh excuse me, Charcoal Black in addition to Shimmery White), the GS4 volition also launch inward enticing copper in addition to brilliant blue. Not every marketplace or carrier volition sell each shade, but at to the lowest degree Samsung has decided to expand its color palette to to a greater extent than or less to a greater extent than lively hues.
At the destination of the day, the telephone all the same feels similar it ever has: similar plastic. That's non necessarily a bad thing, but if Samsung is at all striving for loftier ambitions, it hasn't reached those heights.
Samsung has also slightly redesigned the Micro-USB housing on the bottom of the phone; it immediately has a cover. Up top the IR blaster makes it triumphant return, in addition to on the back, the pump charge per unit of measurement monitor cleverly integrates alongside the camera's LED flash.

The GS5 is alone a fraction larger than the Milky Way S4 -- 5.1 inches versus the GS4's 5-inch display. This novel phone, too, has a 1080p hard disk AMOLED display, thus the screen's pixel density volition live simply a breath looser, though you'll never notice the difference.
The Milky Way S5 measures 142mm past times 72.5mm past times 8.1mm -- or 5.59 inches tall past times 2.85 inches broad past times 0.32-inch deep -- in addition to weighs 145 grams, or 5.1 ounces. It's taller in addition to heavier than the Milky Way S4 equally a effect of its extra hardware.
Break out the supersoakers, kids. Feedback well-nigh the waterproof Milky Way S4 Active prompted Samsung to brand the Milky Way S5 waterproof in addition to dust-proof inward alliance alongside armed services spec IP67, which agency that it tin displace cause got a bathroom for upwardly to xxx minutes at well-nigh 3 feet down.
TouchWiz gets a human face upwardly lift
We'd heard rumors that Samsung was overhauling the TouchWiz interface that rides over Android, something I've been wanting for a long fourth dimension now. While the changes are't sweeping, in that location are to a greater extent than or less tweaks that freshen upwardly the await in addition to feel, in addition to i expanse that gets a consummate visual redo.
Samsung reskinned a few menus, similar this Setting menu, for the Milky Way S5.

First, though, you'll desire to know that the GS5 runs Android 4.4 KitKat in addition to has all the same functions equally Android's OS. It also carries over Milky Way S4 elements similar the expandable quick access settings inward the notification tray.
What is unlike is generally subtle, similar a Google services folder loaded onto the abode covert of the exhibit unit of measurement I saw, in addition to novel icons inward the notifications panel, including novel quick access buttons for Quick Connect in addition to south Finder. Likewise, the homepage overview y'all run into when pinching inward on a abode covert immediately appears equally panels, non a grid.
You all the same swipe correct inward the app tray for your listing of programs in addition to widgets. Any rumors of Samsung cutting dorsum on its ain apps cause got been greatly exaggerated, at to the lowest degree inward this phone.
Samsung Hub looks similar it's changed names to Samsung apps, equally has WatchOn to SmartRemote; my exhibit unit of measurement all the same has south Health, south Voice, south Planner, south Note, in addition to the Knox safety app.
One expanse was drastically altered: the Settings Menu. Instead of settings broken out into 4 tabs, y'all run into a vertically scrolling carte du jour of circular icons that float over a dark backdrop, organized past times collapsable sub-categories. It's the boldest novel design, but I respect the infinitely scrolling listing a lot to a greater extent than space-consuming in addition to visually confusing than the GS4's tidy tabs.
Another novel expanse is a Kid's Mode, which creates a sandbox for tykes to play alongside approved apps piece keeping the remainder of the phone's contents out of bounds.
Core components
Samsung has blessed its GS5 alongside top-of-the-line specs befitting a flagship device. There's the 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 chipset for a start, a 16-megapixel rear-facing photographic tv set camera (up from xiii megapixels), in addition to a 2-megapixel sensor on the front.
H5N1 2,800mAh battery may non live the largest inward all of smartphonedom, but it's a trivial larger than the Milky Way S4's 2,600mAh ticker. Then again, the novel telephone is a flake bigger, too. Samsung says that it's Ultra Power Saving Mode volition double battery life when you're running low. It also promises 21 hours of verbalize fourth dimension in addition to over sixteen days of standby fourth dimension on a unmarried charge.

As inward past times years, in that location are 16GB in addition to 32GB storage options, alongside an SD card that supports upwardly to 128GB. Other incidentals include 2GB RAM, NFC, Wi-Fi, USB 3, Bluetooth 4.0 low-energy, in addition to back upwardly for the fifth-generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac criterion for faster Wi-Fi delivery.
In fact, Samsung says that its Milky Way S5 volition combine Wi-Fi in addition to LTE to download items fifty-fifty faster, theoretically upwardly to 600-650Mbps (they're calling this marvel Download Booster).
Fingerprint in addition to pump charge per unit of measurement scanners
Following inward the footsteps of Apple, HTC, in addition to Motorola (the wayyy distant footsteps), the Samsung Milky Way S5 has its ain fingerprint scanner for unlocking privileges in addition to mobile payments.
The scanner integrates into the covert inward a higher identify the abode button, thus that y'all swipe your finger downwards one-half over the bottom part of the display in addition to abode button. You tin displace add together profiles for 3 fingerprints, in addition to y'all acquire a backup password inward illustration the identification fails. The fingerprint reader scans your finger viii times when earlier upwardly your profile.
I locked in addition to unlocked the telephone at to the lowest degree a dozen times. It worked good most of the time, but didn't read my finger inward every case. You do necessitate to popular off along your finger centered on the screen, which would brand pollex swiping to a greater extent than of a challenge.
I didn't run into it educate on a phone, but this partnership alongside PayPal agency that Milky Way S5 owners volition live able to authenticate transactions alongside the brief press of a finger later signing onto PayPal's program.
Fitness fiends acquire a friend inward the pump charge per unit of measurement monitor that's component in addition to packet alongside the photographic tv set camera flash. You agree your finger over it to cause got your pulse; the expanse glowing reddish when activated when y'all launch it from the south Health 3.0 app. As a reminder, south Health also gives y'all a pedometer, fitness coach, in addition to practise tracker.

Camera in addition to video
Samsung's cameras are typically really good, peculiarly outdoor shots. What hasn't typically been thus groovy is depression light. Samsung didn't address that inward the briefing nosotros got hither at MWC, but the society did tout a whole mess of novel fun functioning boosts in addition to software trinkets.
The i I attention well-nigh most is the lickety-split autofocus, simply 0.3 second, which Samsung cites equally beingness 3 times faster than autofocus on the Milky Way S4. This is due to the add-on of what Samsung calls Phase Detection autofocus, a characteristic normally constitute inward DSLR cameras making its outset appearance inward a smartphone. That agency you'll cause got a higher success charge per unit of measurement capturing the instant alongside squirmy dogs in addition to kids.
H5N1 novel on-screen command comes to the photographic tv set camera app, in addition to it's a pretty expert one. Tap it in addition to you're turning on real-time HDR, thus y'all tin displace preview the results earlier committing. It industrial plant for stills, video, in addition to fifty-fifty flare-up trend pictures, cheers to an extra chip within. Samsung also notes that the GS5 uses a to a greater extent than sophisticated HDR technology scientific discipline that makes images await fifty-fifty better.
Selective focus is a post-editing flim-flam that Samsung gives you, in addition to on that y'all may respect familiar if you've seen the Lytro in addition to the Nokia Lumia 1020. With it, you'll laid the expanse of focus later y'all cause got a photo, state for a shallow or long depth of field. There's also a novel tool called Virtual Tour, which cobbles together a 360-degree view. It isn't clear yet how this mightiness differ from Google's Photo Sphere.
It looks similar Samsung took a hint from Windows Phone OS alongside this final highlight, the powerfulness to download other modes to in addition to through the native photographic tv set camera app.

When tin displace I acquire it in addition to how much does it cost?
Samsung volition sell the Milky Way S5 on Apr eleven inward over 150 countries. In the US, it'll come upwardly to AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, in addition to Verizon Wireless; MetroPCS in addition to U.S. Cellular. You'll also live able to pick it upwardly at retail stores similar Best Buy, Amazon, Costco, RadioShack, Sam's Club, Target, in addition to Walmart.
We are all the same waiting on pricing details, which carriers in addition to retailers volition unloose on their own.
How does it stack up?
It may non live the most exciting novel smartphone in that location is, but from what I've seen thus far, the Milky Way S5 earns keeps Samsung's legacy of high-end Samsung smartphones strong. The specs are high end, in addition to plenty has changed on the hardware in addition to software fronts to seem worthy of an upgrade when your contract runs its course.
However, those tiring of Samsung blueprint sameness in addition to looking for a radical novel await in addition to experience don't cause got equally many reasons to remain if they aren't moved past times the phone's fingerprint scanner or pump charge per unit of measurement monitor. Samsung, mayhap a victim of its ain hype machine, opens the door for telephone buyers to agree off on making plans until HTC announces its One 2.
We'll popular off along y'all posted alongside what else nosotros larn well-nigh the Milky Way S5. In the meantime, grab all the mobile intelligence from Mobile World Congress 2014.
