Samsung officially unveiled its flagship today Galaxy S5. The phone itself offers several new, essential features. Samsung is aware that its flagship devices should offer durability and that's why the phone is enriched with IP67 water and dust resistance. This means that the phone is resistant to a depth of approximately 1 meter. The phone will also be available in four color versions, namely white, blue, gold and black.

The phone itself will offer a 5.1-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display. The report is indeed surprising as the initial claims were that the phone will offer a high-quality display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. However, as it stands, such a scenario is not happening, at least not today. However, the display is enriched with Local CE and Super Dimming technologies, which automatically detect ambient light and adapt color quality, brightness and other properties to it.

Another novelty in this phone is a new camera with dual flash, which also boasts the fastest mobile auto-focus in the world. The phone can perform autofocus in 0,3 seconds, which is significantly faster than any competing smartphone. The resolution of the camera is not yet known, but it could be the aforementioned 16 megapixels. We also do not know the maximum supported video resolution, but with a high probability it will be 4K, just like Galaxy Footnote 3.

In terms of connectivity, it is Galaxy S5 equipped with the latest technologies. In addition to being equipped with global LTE network support, it also offers the fastest WiFi connection available. It supports 802.11ac networks with MIMO support, thanks to which the speed of downloading and sending data is twice as fast. Finally, the Download Booster function will help with this. The high connection speed will not have a big impact on battery consumption, as Samsung promises that the phone will last 10 hours of surfing over the LTE network and 12 hours of watching video. Galaxy The S5 is equipped with a battery with a capacity of 2 mAh. Battery life can be further extended with the help of the Ultra Power Saving Mode, which blocks the phone only for performing basic functions and switches the display to black and white mode.

Samsung, in partnership with PayPal, introduced another revolution in making mobile payments. The phone offers a fingerprint sensor that needs to be swiped, just like on older computers or other smartphones. This is exactly what has been expected from the company in recent months Apple, which presented iPhone 5s with Touch ID fingerprint sensor. When Galaxy However, the S5 will also have other uses for the sensor. With the help of the fingerprint sensor, it will be possible to switch to Private Mode, in which you will see your most private files and applications, and also to Kids Mode, which will limit the functions of the phone until further notice.
