The Galaxy S5 offers the most advanced LTE experience and Wi-Fi performance available today, ensuring blazing fast data speeds for unrivaled media consumption and productivity.


The Galaxy S5 supports the fifth generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac and 2X2 MIMO, and supporting the large number of LTE frequency with LTE Category 4 standard. For consumers seeking an even faster connection, the Galaxy S5 now features Download Booster, an innovative Wi-Fi technology for boosting data speed by bonding Wi-Fi and LTE simultaneously. No matter where a consumer is, the Galaxy S5 will help ensure they have the fastest available connection.

It provides a comprehensive personal fitness tracker to help users monitor and manage their behavior, along with additional tools including a pedometer, diet and exercise records, and a new, built-in heart rate monitor. Galaxy S5 users can further customize their experience with an enriched third party app ecosystem and the ability to pair with next generation Gear products for real-time fitness coaching.

Express modern, glam look
The Galaxy S5 blends iconic Samsung design with modern trends to appeal to a range of consumer tastes and interests. The Galaxy S5 features a perforated pattern on the back cover creating a modern glam look. Its new sleek, contoured shape comes in an array of vivid colors, including charcoal Black, shimmery White, electric Blue and copper Gold, to complement the style of the individual consumer.

Essential device protection
The Galaxy S5 is IP67 dust and water resistant. It also offers a Finger Scanner, providing a secure, biometric screen locking feature and a seamless and safe mobile payment experience to consumers. The Ultra Power Saving Mode turns the display to black and white, and shuts down all unnecessary features to minimize the battery consumption.

The device will be available globally through Samsung’s retail channels, e-commerce and carriers in April.

Decent phone, but ill wait till Apple announce their iphone 6 to compare. Even though, im sure only new feature with iphone 6 will be bigger screen. Just like when i bought my iphone 5. "Bigger iPhone!!"(its only 4inch), "LTE super fast!!"(other competitors had them for 3 years), "revolusionary!!" All over again with just a bigger screen upgrade.

Bigger screen even if it means what goes in the iPhone but maybe "big enough". So what if others had lte, blame jobs but I prefer wifi over lte, and what's revolutionary, improves scanner others tried, architecting on a lighter, faster, and far smaller device with 64 bit, a flash unlike any other, taking multiple shots into one to reduce blur, now that's revolutionary.

Well tbh, all the "revolutionary" technologies you said were out in the field already. None of them were invented by Apple. Plus you seem to not catch my sarcasm. There are graphic cards improves every year, HDTVs getting higher resolutions, CPU gets new architectures every year or two, fuel battery cells stablizing, toasters making better toasts. But no other company than Apple brags about how revolution it is.

Look, apple may not invented the phones first but they improved it from the buttons, if it wasn't for them, there would be no galaxies or lumpias which is an example of them following apple for ideas since the beginning, plus the "sarcasm" wasn't really pointed out, all it was is just you sounding like opinions tbh. Apple is revolutionary because remember the way camera's were once taken like apple said, buy better lens, focus the lens, but no more of that, the only way things are improving for others because they turn to apple. You're the only one bragging like it's a little joke. They are top global brand, just look.

Apple don't need to brag, nor do they need to resort to cheap techniques like bagging Apple or calling their design "glam".

R u talking to the iphone 5c owners also?
Great!

Is this still made of plastic? Won't the perforated back design make it a dirt magnet and also difficult to clean? Also, isn't Android so insecure that allowing hackers access to your fingerprint be asking for trouble?

Well, Most Samsung Galaxy phones look alike (almost identical) & Galaxy tablets call Galaxy Tab 1,2,3 are same shit style & shape. I don't see they change much at all. Even the desktop PC same shape & look alike. Very boring design & style. Samsung need to change the Galaxy phone style & shapes.

Just you wait, the s7 will be a instant clone of note 3 in no time.

Wait! their innovation have yet to come. There will be S5-A, S5-B, S5-C, S5-D, S5-E...you get the idea...

Since all they can make are tv's and washing machines,they can only be so successful at increasing display but not entirely since they use it to mock iPhones display. Bigger display is only necessary depending on how big the screen is it doesn't mean it's better.

I was thinking about buying and galaxy s5, but after reading all it's features and specs I'm nowhere close of buying one. The design looks

I'd love to see Tony's reaction in a thoughtless design. I bet he would call this "innovative" alright.

Lol was actually looking to purchase this device but meh, will be getting a Note 3 instead...oh and I'm pro nobody. I got both Apple & Android devices. I'm not kissing any companies ass until they start paying me for using their products and acting like a fanboy, which will never happen so yeah...this shit is disappointing...

gamerscul9870 - February 24, 2014 at 10:09pm
The only companies ass to kiss then is sony. Go for them since het is basically the same as galaxy.

It looks like a galaxy s2! But in all seriousness, I think we've got to stop expecting phones to wow us with design now. They already come in every size you could want, different materials, and chasing thinness is much less important now as they're too thin to notice in a pocket anyway. They're basically 5" screens with not much else. Some will do something different, like the ones with e-ink screens on the back, but the mainstream won't put anything so polarising or specialist on there. We should be focusing on specs, features and accessories. All top end phones look good these days, they just cater to different tastes.
