Features
Camera
The camera for the Samsung Galaxy S5 has been put to its maximum. Samsung said that the rear camera for the Samsung Galaxy S5 is 16 megapixels, and that the front camera is 2 megapixels. Despite the amazing cameras, the Galaxy S5 can also shoot 4K at 30 frames per second. This might be astonishing, but the Sony Xperia Z1’s camera is 20.7 megapixels, this is one of the letdowns that Samsung has brought to the Samsung Galaxy S5.
Fingerprint Scanner
The Samsung Galaxy S5 has certainly thought about the easy ways of opening and starting your phone. It’s an accurate scanner that works only after you wake the phone – an extra step Apple doesn’t make you go through – and scan you finger down from the screen to the bottom of the home key. However, Samsung is still few steps away from Apple’s decent integration of TouchID in the iPhone 5s
Battery
There have been major problems on the Samsung Galaxy S4, there have been many complaints that the battery goes low very fast. They explained that they have improved the Battery, recent leaked packaging showed the battery coming in at 3000mAh, but this was a little off of the mark, with the actual battery power coming in at 2800mAh. This is still impressive, though, with Samsung quoting standby time of 390 hrs / talk time: 21 hrs.
