Official Launch of Samsung Galaxy S5 – Brand Crux Reviews
















After months of rumors and leaks, Samsung has officially unveiled the new Samsung Galaxy S5, the fifth generation of one of the most popular sagas of the smartphone market at the Mobile World Congress 2014. This is one of the most anticipated smart phones of this year.  Samsung aims to rein the Android ecosystem and the world of smart phones.

The Samsung Galaxy S5, as expected, is ahead in terms of technical specifications and hardware is concerned. This is reflected in its technical data sheet listed below, which is one of the most comprehensive towards the current smart phone market;
  •  SoC: Qualcomm Snapdragon 800
  • CPU: Quad-Core 2.5 GHz
  • RAM: 2 GB
  • Display: 5.1-inch Full HD Super AMOLED
  • Camera: 16 megapixel (ISOCELL sensor), LED flash and video recording in 4K
  • Connectivity: 4G LTE, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, Wi-Fi a / b / g / n and DLNA.
  • Battery: 2,800 mAh with wireless charging (Qi)
  • Resistance: Gorilla Glass 3 Glass and IP67 certified (dust and water)
  • Memory: 16/32/64 GB + microSD card slot
  • Sensors Fingerprint, humidity, temperature, altitude and heart rate
  • Colors: White, blue, black and gold
  • Software: Android 4.4 KitKat + Touch Wiz 
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a step forward as compared to Samsung Galaxy S4; it seems that the Asian company has remained a bit conservative. The company has been precisely strongest in its recent hardware generations. For example, Samsung Galaxy S5 has 2,800 mAh battery and 2 GB of RAM (while smart phones like the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Sony Xperia Z2 mounted 3 GB and 3,000 mAh). However, we know that the hardware is not always important to deliver a great user experience. The clearest example to this is the Motorola Moto X. Therefore, it would be premature to judge Samsung Galaxy S5 with its hardware specifications.

There is not much changes made to the software of the Samsung Galaxy S5. The Company has redesigned Touch Wiz and has incorporated significant improvements in what relates to cosmetic appearance, but nothing close to what we expected after recent rumors and leaks, which pointed to a very similar version of Touch Wiz Android 4.4 KitKat in difference.

The camera is one of the aspects where Samsung has also taken a step forward. The company has begun assembling its own 16-megapixel sensor called ISOCELL (instead of a Sony Exmore RS as the rest of its rivals), which, in theory, should achieve a greater amount of light when it is scarce. Also, Samsung has improved things like autofocus, which enables it to focus and capture in just 0.3 seconds. The company has also added new software features like “selective focus", so that we can focus even after taking the picture.
Samsung has also incorporated some interesting features of software to save energy which is similar to Sony STAMINA power mode. It’s  a particularly mode created to save energy, in a way, when activated, turns the terminal interface to whites, blacks and grays only possible with  AMOLED screen (its consumption in dark tones is very low) this offers a  significant energy savings.

It is also noteworthy, as the inclusion of a fingerprint sensor button home, as we have seen for couple of months in the iPhone 5s. However, unlike the Apple terminal in Samsung Galaxy S5 it is necessary to slide your finger on the button, while the iPhone 5s just rest your finger on the button. Moreover, Samsung has reached an exclusive agreement with PayPal for the fingerprint sensor serve as security protocol to confirm transactions on PayPal.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 will hit the market on April 11, but its price is still unknown. According to the enduring flagships of the company, this will be available with a variety of operators and distributors worldwide in the coming month.
