As previously
announced, Samsung is at the mobile world congress where it revealed its
new flagship phone
Galaxy S5 which is found to be previously rumoured, and even the occasional
addition of questionable usefulness. Samsung's JK Shin at the beginning of
the presentation explained how they asked users what they want from the next
version, and it seems that they did not have much fantasy.
Simplicity, good
design, good camera, long battery life and allegedly functionality for fitness-
These are the
answers that Samsung claims to have received and which led to the creation of
the new S5. All in all, again, he noticed the tried formula – slightly larger
screen, a better processor, and slightly more pixels.
Specifically, the
new OLED display device has 5.1 inches (as opposed to 5 inches on the Samsung
S4), the resolution is still 1080p, and the new is that the brightness adapts
to external conditions. There are so special and low lighting for
those moments when you're in a place with dim light and do not want your phone
to be a lighthouse where you can read all the messages over your shoulder.
And the battery is
better, according to Samsung, promising 10 hours of surfing, 12 hours of
watching videos and a new ultra-saving mode shuts down all but the most
basic features and the screen switches to black and white version to continue
to use the device with very little remaining battery power. Ten percentage of
the battery would take up the whole 24 hours. That is one of the best features.
Sensors and biometric characteristics
Below the camera
is situated a counter Hearth pulse
meter, the first such sensor on Samsung's mobile device, which should
fit into the "fitness" of the story. Such a sensor would be
given its meaning in conjunction with, for example, Galaxy gear, but Samsung's smart
watch also boasts the same sensor, so its utility remains questionable.
The game is
another sensor, one for fingerprints integrated in the central display
above the keys, through which the withdrawal of certain fingers can unlock
your phone, log in to an application, such as PayPal, or view some of the files
you want to protect yourself from other people's views.
The problem with
this is that the fingerprint scan is a method which has been a serious ailment
readers and that makes them almost unusable. Apple Touch ID this problem
elegantly bypassed sensor which is just enough to touch, but remains to be seen
whether Samsung's reader in the daily practice shows a good addition or
ire of users who have five times drag your finger across the screen in order to
hit the speed.
All this, of
course, wrapped up in a good old Samsung’s plastic casing, this time with a
perforated background that somewhat resembles the Galaxy Note 3 and comes in
black, blue, white and (of course) a gold colour. The device apparently is not
sensitive to water and dust, which means that you can watch a video while
bathing without damaging the device, but it should not slip in the tub.
Gear in the three costume
When it comes to smart
clock, Samsung then at its conference discovered three - namely, the three
versions of the same piece of wearable technology, reports Cnet. Samsung
Gear 2 and Gear Neo 2 are quite similar, although the latter is slightly
lighter version, devoid of the camera
Except for the
lack of cameras, Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo share the Super AMOLED screen of
1.63 inches and 320 × 320 pixels below which is a home button. Much of the
focus is on fitness, and all versions are equipped with a pedometer and pulse
meter and different applications that monitor your health and fitness.
Neo comes in
different colors and more shoots to the sporty look, but the boa models still
make clumsy. Gear Galaxy Fit is their antithesis a small thin device that
is easily attached to the rubber band. In itself, despite its size
contains a gyroscope, pedometer and counter Hearth pulsemeter, and his fitness
is an obvious purpose.
In addition to the
redesign, the biggest news is the change of the operating system that is no
longer modified Android, but Samsung's own system Tizen but when it comes to
user interface and usage hours, hardly anyone will notice the difference
apparently.
In any case,
Samsung's devices are all what we expect of them - with slightly better
specifications than previous models, reliable and without major changes, jumps
and wow effect. It should become available in May of this year, and the
price is still unknown.
