The Samsung Galaxy S5 is an Android-based smartphone unveiled, produced, released and marketed by Samsung Electronics as part of the Samsung Galaxy S serial. Unveiled on 24 February 2014 at Mobile Globe Congress in Barcelona, Spain, it was released on eleven April 2014 in 150 countries as the firsthand successor to the Galaxy S4. As with the S4, the S5 is an evolution of the prior twelvemonth'south model, placing a particular emphasis on an improved build with a textured rear encompass and IP67 certification for grit and h2o resistance, a more refined user feel, new security features such as a fingerprint reader and individual style, expanded health-related features including a built-in eye rate monitor, a USB 3.0 port, and an updated camera featuring speedy machine-focus through phase-detection as well as video resolution upgraded to 2160p (4K) and framerate at 1080p doubled.

The Milky way S5 received mostly positive reviews; the phone was praised for its display, hardware, camera, long battery life, and incorporating water resistance while retaining a removable battery and MicroSD card slot, making it the terminal in its serial with the former.^[8] However, the S5 was criticized for bloated software, its unresponsive fingerprint scanner, and its ostensibly non-"premium" polycarbonate in light of rival smartphones' metal or glass bodies.^{[6] [nine] [ten]}

In August 2015, post-obit the release of its so-latest flagship, the Galaxy S6, Samsung released an updated version called the "Milky way S5 Neo" which has an Exynos 7 Octa (7580) processor clocked at 1.6 GHz. Information technology has two GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, USB 2.0 port, comes with Android 5.0.2 "Lollipop", and lacks fingerprint unlocking and 4K (2160p) video recording.

Release appointment [edit]

The Galaxy S5 was unveiled on 24 February 2014 equally role of the company'due south presentation at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain. Samsung Electronics president JK Shin explained that consumers did not desire a phone dependent on "eye-popping" or "circuitous" technology, just ane with "beautiful design and functioning", a "simple, yet powerful camera", "faster and seamless connectivity", and fitness-oriented features.^[xi]

Samsung announced that information technology would release the S5 on eleven Apr 2014 in 150 countries—including the Great britain and U.s.a..^[12] On eighteen June 2014, Samsung unveiled an LTE-Avant-garde version of the S5, exclusively released in Southward Korea. Dissimilar other models, the LTE-A version as well upgrades the display to a quad Hd, 1440p panel.^{[thirteen] [fourteen]}

Shortly after the release of the S5, it was discovered that some Samsung Galaxy S5 devices—particularly those on Verizon Wireless—were suffering from a major bug that caused the device's photographic camera hardware to permanently cease operation, and brandish a "Camera failed" error on-screen whenever users endeavor to apply the camera. Both Samsung and Verizon confirmed the issue, which afflicted a express number of Galaxy S5 devices; Samsung instructed users afflicted by the problems to contact the visitor or their carrier to have their telephone replaced nether warranty.^{[15] [sixteen]}

Specifications [edit]

Hardware and design [edit]

Changes [edit]

Rear of an "Electric Blueish" Galaxy S5, showing the textured rear, photographic camera, and heart rate sensor

The design of the S5 evolves upon the design of the S4. It features a rounded, polycarbonate chassis conveying a "mod glam" wait with a dot blueprint similarly to that on the 2012 Google Nexus vii tablet computer, fake metal trim and a removable rear cover. Different past models, the S5's rear encompass uses a higher quality soft plastic and is dimpled to improve grip.

The S5 is IP67 certified for grit and h2o resistance. As such, the phone is able to be submerged in water upward to one metre (iii.three ft) for upward to xxx minutes. The S5'southward Micro-USB 3.0 port uses a removable encompass. The S5 is bachelor in Charcoal Black, Electric Blue, Copper Gold, and Shimmery White colour finishes. The S5'south screen is a 5.1-inch (130 mm) 1080p Super AMOLED panel, which is slightly larger than that of the S4, and allows for automatic effulgence and gamut adjustments.^{[17] [xviii] [19]} Its minimum dimmable effulgence level has been lowered to facilitate vision in nighttime environments without the need for 3rd-party screen filter overlay apps which would interfere with screen captures.^[20]

Front panel [edit]

Below the screen are iii buttons. The physical "Home" button in the centre contains a swipe-based fingerprint scanner. At that place is a "Contempo apps" key (too known as "task central") on the left side and a "Back" key on the right side of the home button. Equally with all primary models from the Galaxy S serial, the navigation buttons left and correct to the dwelling buttons are capacitive. However, in accordance with Android four.0 human interface guidelines, the S5 no longer uses a "Bill of fare" key like its predecessors (left side of domicile push button), although its push button layout is however reversed in comparison to other Android devices with the S5's button layout (such as the HTC One X and Galaxy Nexus, whose "Back" buttons are to the left of "Home"). However, holding the new task fundamental for one 2d simulates pressing the card primal.^{[17] [18] [nineteen] [21]}

Camera [edit]

The S5 includes a 16 megapixel (5312×2988) rear-facing camera, which offers 4K (2160p) video recording at 30fps, phase detection autofocus (which Samsung claims to be able to focus in around 0.3 seconds),^[17] real-time HDR photos and video (of which the latter is available for the first time in a Samsung flagship mobile device), and an image sensor with Samsung's "Isocell" technology, which isolates the individual pixels inside the sensor to improve its ability to capture calorie-free and reduce crosstalk. The model number of the image sensor is S5K2P2XX.^[4] Compared to conventional BSI sensors, this reduces electrical crosstalk by nearly thirty percent.^[22] The camera is also able to record 1080p@60fps for smoother real-time playback. Information technology can also record slow-motion videos with 720p at 120fps, only only encoded using the menial method .^[23]

The front end photographic camera uses a Samsung CMOS S5K8B1YX03 image sensor, an aperture of f/ii.4 and captures both photos and videos at 1080p; the latter at thirty frames per second.^[4]

Miscellaneous [edit]

Next to the photographic camera'due south flash on the rear of the device is a new heart rate sensor, which can exist used every bit function of the S Health software.^{[17] [18] [nineteen] [24] [25]}

The acme of the device has an IR blaster and headphone jack. The IR blaster is a transmitter just and information technology has a built-in database of devices that can be controlled by Samsung's Smart Remote application.^[26]

The Milky way S5 lacks the thermometer (temperature) and hygrometer (humidity) sensors that both 2013's flagships, the Galaxy S4 and Milky way Note iii were equipped with.^[27]

Internal specifications [edit]

The S5 is powered by a 2.5 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 system-on-chip with 2 GB of RAM. Although non mentioned during the keynote presentation, a variant (SM-G900H) with an octa-core Exynos 5422 organization-on-chip was also released in multiple markets.^[28] Similar the previous model, it uses 2 clusters of four cores; 4 Cortex-A15 cores at 2.1 GHz, and four Cortex-A7 cores at 1.v GHz.^{[29] [thirty]} Depending on resources usage, the SoC tin can use the ability-efficient A7 cores for lighter processing loads, and switch to the A15 cores for more enervating loads. Dissimilar previous iterations, however, the Exynos 5422 tin can run both sets of cores at the same fourth dimension instead of but one at a time.^{[31] [32]}

Battery [edit]

The S5 contains a 2800 mAh lithium ion bombardment, which is user-replaceable despite IP67 h2o resistance. It is Qi compatible (requires an optional Wireless Charging Cover) and also contains an "Ultra Power Saving" style to extend further battery life; when enabled, all non-essential processes are disabled, and the screen switches to greyness scale rendering. Samsung claims that with Ultra Power Saving on, an S5 with 10% accuse remaining can final for an boosted 24 hours in standby mode.^{[24] [33] [34] [35]} Some other comeback in ability efficiency comes from the use of Qualcomm's envelope tracker, which reduces the power used in connectivity.^[36]

Software [edit]

The S5 shipped with Android 4.4.2 KitKat but has received updates, the most recent being vi.0.1 Marshmallow. Information technology has Samsung'due south TouchWiz software, which for the S5 has a flatter, more geometric await than that found on the S4. Certain aspects of the changes were influenced by a recent patent licensing deal with Google, which requires that Samsung'south TouchWiz interface follow the design of "stock" Android more closely. The S5 adds the Galaxy Note 3'south "My Magazine" feature to the leftmost page on the home screen, the Settings bill of fare was updated with a new grid-based layout, a Kids' Mode was added, while the South Wellness app was given expanded functionality, integrating with the new centre rate sensor on the device, along with the new Gear 2 smartwatch and Gear Fit activeness tracker.^{[17] [18] [37] [38]} The "Download Booster" tool allows internet usage to be split across LTE and Wi-Fi to amend download speed. Due to carrier policies, Download Booster was non bachelor on Galaxy S5 models released in the United States running KitKat 4.4.2, excluding T-Mobile U.s. and U.S. Cellular.^{[39] [twoscore] [41]} The precluded telephone application is equipped with boosted options for noise counterfoil, telephone call holding, book boosting and the ability to personalize the telephone call sound.^[42] A disk space analyzer tool is included.^[43]

The Galaxy S5 inherits the interaction functionality of the Galaxy S4, such as finger Air View, air gesture and motion gesture controls, and Samsung SmartScreen.^{[44] [45] [46] [47]} For Air View, a self-capacitive^[48] touch screen layer is used to detect the floating finger. The "Quick Glance" feature from the Galaxy S4 was succeeded by "Air wake-upward", where hovering above the forepart proximity sensor side by side to the "Samsung" wordmark wakes the telephone upward from stand-by fashion rather than just showing the clock and status.^[49]

Security [edit]

The S5 contains a number of new security features. The fingerprint reader can be used to unlock the phone, while an SDK is available then 3rd-political party developers may offer fingerprint-oriented functionality in their apps; for instance, PayPal integrated support for the fingerprint sensor to cosign online purchases.^[50] The S5 likewise adds "Private Mode", which allows users to maintain hidden apps and file folders that cannot be accessed without additional authentication.^{[17] [18]}

Camera and gallery software [edit]

The camera app was updated with a new "Shot & More" carte that captures eight still photos in quick succession stored into a single JPG file^{[ how? ]}, allowing users to make edits to photos later they are taken using Samsung's gallery software. It incorporates camera features from earlier Samsung phones (All-time Photo, All-time Face, Drama Shot, Eraser and Action panorama) into a single camera mode. The camera software is also equipped with a new selective focus mode that captures multiple photos at different focus settings (also known every bit focus bracketing, albeit being stored in a single file), assuasive the user to choose the desired focus setting (near focus, far focus, pan focus) any time after capture, and allows users to export the photo at the desired focus settings into a separate file.^{[51] [23]}

Boosted camera modes are downloadable from a shop provided by Samsung.^[52]

The camera software is equipped with a remote viewfinder feature, which allows using the display of ane unit of measurement equally the viewfinder of a second telephone paired through Wi-Fi Direct. Next to the S5, simply the Galaxy S4, Galaxy S4 Zoom, Galaxy K Zoom, Galaxy Notation 3 and Galaxy Alpha are equipped with this functionality.^[53]

Ii new features, Virtual Tour and Spherical (360°) Panorama accept been added, respectively allowing to capture photos stitched together to a navigable 3D environment and to a spherical view of the surroundings, both inside the precluded gallery software. 360-degree panoramas are navigable with both touch and gyroscope sensor (device movement).

The photographic camera setting shortcuts on the left (horizontal) side of the screen are customizable, assuasive the user to select four shortcuts to more often accessed camera settings.

The camera software has been criticized for over-sharpening photos in mail service processing.

The gallery software is able to show Exif meta data of pictures such as exposure time, exposure value, light sensitivity (ISO), aperture, focal length, flash status and a histogram.^[54]

^[23]

Updates [edit]

An update to Android five.0 "Lollipop" was first released for S5 models in Poland in December 2014.^[55] The update incorporates performance improvements, an updated "Recent apps" view that utilizes a card-based layout, access to notifications on the lock screen, and modifications to the TouchWiz interface to attach to Fabric design language.^[55] In April 2016, Samsung released an update to Android half dozen.0.ane "Marshmallow" for international S5 models.^[56] It enables new features such as "Google At present on Tap", which allows users to perform searches within the context of information currently being displayed on-screen, and "Doze", which optimizes bombardment usage when the device is non being physically handled.^{[57] [56]}

Using a custom ROM such as LineageOS, Android 10 tin can be installed on Samsung Galaxy S5 devices.^[58]

Variants [edit]

Rugged variants [edit]

Samsung released two rugged versions of the S5, the S5 Active and S5 Sport. Both models feature a version of the S5'southward design with a total gear up of concrete navigation buttons and do not include the fingerprint scanner, only are otherwise identical to standard models of the S5. Both devices also include an exclusive "Activeness Zone" app, which contains a barometer, compass, and stopwatch. The S5 Agile adds an "Active Primal" to the side of the device, which can be configured to launch sure apps on short and long presses; past default, the button launches Action Zone. The Sprint S5 Sport has additional Dart Fit Live software, which acts as a hub for health-oriented content and S Health, forth with the Under Armour-owned MapMyFitness MVP service and the music streaming service Spotify—the device comes with free subscriptions to both services. Both models come in different color schemes (gray, camouflage green, and red for the S5 Active, and blueish and red for the S5 Sport), and the S5 Sport is slightly lighter in weight than the S5 Active, at 158 g (5.6 oz) instead of 171 one thousand (6.0 oz). The S5 Active and S5 Sport were released in the U.s.a. in June 2014, and are exclusive to AT&T and Dart respectively.^{[59] [60] [61]} The S5 Active was released in Canada in October 2014.^[62]

In June 2014, Samsung also released a dual SIM version of the Galaxy S5, chosen Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos, model SM-G900FD. The Duos has the LTE specification of the Galaxy S5.

Neo variant [edit]

A hardware revision chosen the Milky way S5 Neo was quietly released in Baronial 2015.

The S5 Neo is a lower cost variant of the original Galaxy S5 that downgrades the SoC to an Exynos 7580 Octa system-on-scrap, while improving the front camera to a v-megapixel unit. Other changes include the removal of a fingerprint sensor and a conventional USB two.0 port in lieu of a USB 3.0 port with a water-resistant cover, the latter of which had been a source of complaints from users who plant the comprehend was easily broken from regular use, compared to the previous year'south model. A noticeable design stardom is the finer dot pattern on the removable rear cover. Samsung too released Android vii.0 Nougat with Samsung Feel which the original S5 did not take.^[63] The S5 Neo was initially made available in Europe (SM-G903F) and Canada (SM-G903W).

While the original Galaxy S5 is able to record videos at 2160p at 30fps, 1080p at 60fps and 720p at 120fps, the camera of the Galaxy S5 Neo tin can only record videos at 1080p at upwards to 30fps and lacks slow motion video recording entirely.^[64]

The Galaxy S5 Neo lacks wireless charging back up entirely and can not exist retrofitted with a wireless charging dorsum cover.^[64]

Reception [edit]

Critical reception [edit]

The S5 received mostly positive reviews; critics acknowledged that the S5 was primarily a technological evolution of its predecessor with few changes of significance. Although praised for an improved advent and build quality, the design of the S5 was panned for retaining a near identical appearance and construction to the S4,^[a] and for not using higher quality materials such every bit metal or a higher-quality plastic. The display of the S5 was praised for having a high quality, non beingness as oversaturated equally previous models, and having a wide range of viewing angles, brightness states, and gamut settings to fine tune its appearance. TechRadar likewise noticed that, despite the high power of its processor, some apps and interface functions suffered from performance issues, indicating that the S5's operating system may not have been completely optimized for its system-on-chip. The S5's interface was praised for having a cleaner appearance than previous iterations—however, it was still criticized for containing besides many unnecessary features and settings.^{[five] [half-dozen] [ten]}

The S5's camera received more often than not positive reviews for the improvements to image quality provided by its Isocell image sensor, but was deemed to still be not equally good as its competitors, peculiarly in the instance of low-light images. While the S5's camera interface was praised for having a streamlined design, it was criticized for taking too long to load, and the Selective Focus features were panned for existence inconsistent in quality.^{[v] [vi]} While praised for providing more uses than the Bear on ID function on the iPhone 5s, the fingerprint sensor was panned for requiring an unnatural vertical swiping gesture, having inconsistent and unforgiving results, and for existence inconvenient in comparison to a password or Pivot in most utilise cases due to these shortcomings.^{[5] [6]} The Berlin-based Security Research Labs constitute that because the S5's fingerprint sensor could easily be spoofed, allows unlimited chances and does non require a PIN after 48 hours of inactivity or on startup like Bear upon ID, and can be used for more than than simply unlocking the phone, information technology "gives a would-be attacked [sic] an even greater incentive to learn the simple skill of spoofing fingerprints."^{[6] [9]} Engadget considered the centre charge per unit sensor to be similarly unforgiving and sometimes being inaccurate in comparison to other middle charge per unit trackers, while The Verge felt that it was a redundant improver due to the concurrent introduction of the Samsung Gear Fit, which includes a centre charge per unit tracker of its ain, and is likely to also exist purchased past those wanting to take full advantage of the S Wellness software on their S5.^[10]

Sales [edit]
