Samsung S5 Release Date, Review, and Specs: Top 5 Things To Expect From The Galaxy S5
After months of speculation, rumor, and supposition, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is finally on its way to its debut next month, after a successful reception at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona a few days ago. Of course, Samsung's super-successful Oscar advertisements and promotions have certainly tipped the scales in favor of the Galaxy S5 anticipation. Here, then, are the top 5 things to expect from this super-anticipated phone!
1. Bigger, Brighter, and Cooler: The Galaxy S5 will likely feature a 5.2-inch display with a 1,440 x 2,560 resolution that runs full 1080p HD video. In addition, the bezel on the S5 will either be minimal, or completely non-existent, creating a screen that looks like it's simply fluid, with no edges.
2. Metal!: No, not in the rock'n'roll sense. Samsung has come under fire in the past because they've used plastic to build the bodies of their various phones (as someone who owns a Galaxy Note 2, I can assure you that the plastic casing really doesn't do the phone -- however awesome it is in other respects -- any sort of justice). The Galaxy S5 will be one of the first that will have a metal casing.
3. Camera: The camera will be 16 megapixels... similar to the mega-pixellry of the average professional DSLR camera.
4. Call the NSA: Yes, it's been confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt -- the S5 will have the fingerprint scanner... a trait that you either love, or hate. While in case of Apple's iPhone 5s the technology requires the user to tap on the Home button, users of the Galaxy S5 may need to swipe their finger on the Home button to use the biometric scanner.
5. Insert Your Own "C3PO/Droid" Jokes Here: There will be a gold metal version of the Galaxy S5 offered by Samsung... and the phone looks exactly like C3PO!
