At the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Samsung presented the new Galaxy S5 smartphone.
This means that I am now capable of bringing you the main things you need to know about the smartphone.
The fifth generation of the Galaxy S series has been unveiled by Samsung at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. As expected, the Galaxy S5 comes with a larger display, a better camera, a more powerful processor, and a longer lasting battery.
Here’s an infographic that presents the main specifications for the Galaxy S series, from the Galaxy S1 up to the Galaxy S5.
The Galaxy S5 has a sleek contoured shape, features a perforated pattern on the back cover, and is available as charcoal Black, shimmery White, electric Blue and copper Gold. You’re not going to want to get the S5 wet. But if you do, you don’t have to worry about it because the Galaxy S5 is IP67 dust and water resistant. And speaking about getting the S5 wet, if this gives you a scare, you can use the built-in heart rate monitor to see how much your heart rate went up.

“With the Galaxy S5, Samsung is going back to basics to focus on delivering the capabilities that matter most to our consumers,” said JK Shin, President and Head of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung. “Consumers are looking for mobile tools that inspire and support them as they improve their everyday lives. The Galaxy S5 represents an iconic design with essential and useful features to focus on delivering the ultimate smartphone on the market today through people inspired innovation.”
You can pair the Galaxy S5 with one of the three new wearable devices Samsung introduced: Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo, or Gear Fit. The Gear Fit, just like the S5, is dust and water resistant.
The Galaxy S5 will go on sale this April.
