Samsung's Latest Innovation, The Galaxy S5, Has Been Revealed.

Samsung announced the Galaxy S5 in Late March at the Mobile World Conference in Barcelona, Spain. On the surface, the design looks much like the S4. It comes with the same Super AMOLED display, but the S5 measures in at 5.1 inches. Other than that, the back cover features a perforated pattern that Samsung says creates a "modern glam look" that comes in either charcoal black, shimmery white, electric blue or copper gold.
It's on the inside where most of the updates are. First, it runs the "Kitkat" version of Android. OK, but here's something more interesting: similar to the iPhone, the S5 features a fingerprint sensor which can be used to lock and unlock the device, as well as to access secure payment tools.

The S5 also comes with a built-in heart rate monitor which provides real time data before and after exercise by placing a finger on a sensor by the rear-facing camera. It works in conjunction with S Health 3.0, which can track and map workouts and suggest healthier meals.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 doesn't use simple contrast detect autofocus, though. It has a hybrid system that uses a mix of contrast detection and phase detection. The latter is what is used by SLRs, and some compact system cameras. Phase detection enables the phone to reach its 0.3-second focusing times – although this naturally doesn't apply in tricky lighting conditions. However, in good lighting focusing speeds are seriously impressive.

We're not 100 per cent sure the Galaxy S5 will be quite as fast as the iPhone 5S all-round. But I'm impressed, and it's good to see Samsung pack some genuine photographic features into its new camera, not just flashy software modes. This is

The lens is decent too. It's an f/2.2 lens with a 31mm focal length (35mm standard equivalent) – that's the same f-stop rating as the Galaxy S4.

Additionally, the S5 comes with a 16-MP rear-facing camera as well as a 2-MP front facing camera. It comes with advanced auto focus speeds for capturing a shots quickly, a "selective focus mode" for bluring images near or far in the frame for a more creative look, and a High Dynamic Range preview mode which Samsung says makes it easier to take high definition images and videos, like of a beautiful sunset for instance.the Samsung Galaxy S5 doesn't use simple contrast detect autofocus, though.
