Arguably the most eagerly awaited handset of the year, the Samsung Galaxy S5 was first shown off at MWC 2014.
Moving to a 5.1-inch display, the plastic bodied handset is powered by a new 2.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor and runs 2GB of RAM.
With an integrated fingerprint scanner and rear-mounted heart rate monitor, the Samsung Galaxy S5 specs sheet is further bolstered by a 16-megapixel rear-mounted camera and 2-megapixel forward-facing snapper. The phone will launch in four colour schemes, black, white, blue and gold.
Running Google’s Android 4.4 KitKat OS and Samsung’s newly finished TouchWiz UI, the Samsung Galaxy S5 features list sees a 28oomAh Lithium-battery promise a 10 hour LTE browsing battery life.
The phone lines up at 8.1mm thick and 145g in weight and will be available in 16GB or 32GB storage options.
