The Samsung Galaxy S5 is finally here. But you might not be really happy about the fact that the phone costs at least Rs 51,000. It could be as high as Rs 53,000.

The other small catch is the fact that the phone being launched in India is not powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 and hence would not a 4G phone. The version being launched in India is powered by an octo-core processor combo (quad 1.9 GHz + Quad 1.3 GHz) which seems to be similar to the Exynos 5 processors on the latest Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and Note Pro 12.2-inch tablet.As reported by financialexpress.com earlier, the company also launched the entire new Gear range along with the Galaxy S5. The Gear 2 is priced at Rs 21,900, while the Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit are more affordable with a Rs 15,900 price tag.

It has also opened up these devices to almost the entire Galaxy range, of which there are 35 million users in India.

Earlier, the Gear devices synced only with a handful of top-end Galaxy phones. However, they still don’t work beyond Galaxy ecosystem and Vineet Taneja, the country head for India, said this has been done deliberately to draw people towards the Galaxy range.
While the pricing might appear steep for a lot of people, the fact is that high prices have not really deterred people from buying flagship phones. A case in point is the success of iPhone 5s despite its price tag. Plus, Samsung is certain that people who want to buy these phones will do so with the help of EMI schemes.

The rest of the specs of the Samsung Galaxy S5 are similar to what was announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in the last week of February. The change in processor has been necessitated by

Samsung is today considered the renovation in the mobile tech world, at par with all the leading phones available today in the Smartphone sphere. Managed to go from strength-to- strength, it can be directly attributed to the success of Galaxy range of devices. In this rapid mobile world, it’s obvious to talk of a device’s successor even before its release. With the establishment of Galaxy S4 in the mobile world, surprisingly there’ve been few reports pertaining to the product the next in line, THE SAMSUNG GALAXY S5.

The much anticipated Samsung galaxy S5 is officially confirmed but still haunts the curious minds for when we are actually going to see it. A Lot of specs have already been rumored. Though Samsung has chosen to remain quiet about the whole sweet details of its next flagship, we have tried to stick on with the most reliable sources. A Smartphone industry that never sleeps, the executors and engineers are working round the clock to plan out, design and built the new S5.

Software and features:

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is supposedly bigger, faster, tougher and wider. Similar to the previous two generations, It won’t be running on Android 4.0, rather it is likely to run on Android 5.0 ‘Key Lime Pie’.

Currently unsure, but the phone might feature a 2GHz Octa-core processor, featuring a 5.2 inch screen and offering easier navigation with multi-touch capacitive and a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. To go along with the bigger screen size, this device will also feature a ‘Smart Eye Tracking’ to possibly improve navigation. It is being expected that Galaxy S5 might feature the Youm Flexible display. Furthermore, it will be equipped with the gyroscope, accelerometer, proximity sensor, light sensor and compass just like any Smartphone. Good news, that Samsung is perhaps boosting the RAM to 4GB, never before seen in a Smartphone. A chip that could spell more than increased speeds and improved capabilities of multitasking, the RAM improvement of Samsung Galaxy S5 could result in a much better battery life and a slimmer phone looks. The company’s official spokesperson stated: “Samsung’s new ultra-slim memory solutions will enable thinner Smartphone designs and allow for additional battery life, while offering a speed of up to 2,133 megabits per second (Mbps) per pin for data transfer.”

By far Samsung has chosen to stick with plastic for lightness and durability. There have been rumors that Samsung’s next will feature metal body in order to compete with other upscale phones of Apple, Sony or HTC. It has been reported that Samsung would revamp their entire design. Also a Korean tech news website ET News reports that Samsung plans on giving the Galaxy S5 a metal exterior. Contrary to Samsung Galaxy S4, whose plastic body look is often considered as inferior compared to the metal chassis for its fifth-generation hero phoneas plastic design would give a cheaper look than its rivals. The metal body is perhaps meant to seal it completely and make it dust and water proof. There have been rumors of Galaxy S5 with carbon fiber body too.

ET News also predicted that the production for the phone will start late in 2013. According to the buzz, the development of the next device has already taken place in Europe and is going to be produced on a large scale in Vietnam.

CAMERA

Designer Bob Freking shares his views for the Galaxy S5 camera in a video that suggests that it would have 16 MP rear camera with Optical Image Stabilization and 6x lose less zoom to vastly improve the qualities of the images captured, which Samsung is currently working on. The report mentions that Samsung has scheduled to finish working on the new camera hardware by the end of this year and to start making tests with handsets at the beginning of 2014.

NETWORK AND CONNECTIVITY

The high tech phone is rumored to be working on the following frequencies GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 / UMTS 850 / 900 / 2100 MHz.

RELEASE DATE AND PRICE

With no official announcement of scheduled release date, it is predicted to be in the summer of 2014 to follow the current trend and have a price range of 650$.

The phone still remains shrouded in speculations of mystery. Many fans are hoping that the next Galaxy S phone will be bigger and better than its previous generations unlike the last two, S3 and S4, which were almost alike, especially when Apple is set to release the iPhone 5S next month. We hope that S5 will surpass all the previous phones.

It will also provide menu shortcuts and other navigational options while you are using apps.

The profile switch button will allow users to keep customized settings under two options – one is the max performance mode and the other is the hybrid PowerSaver mode. It will come handy when users are on remote places and need to keep their device alive. The new power save mode in galaxy SV will provide 50% more runtime.

The concept of Galaxy S5 created by us has got SIM slots, microSD slots and charging ports in one place. We believe that Samsung will bless Galaxy S5 in this way only so as to deliver a unique design to customers, which will please them for sure. Samsung has learned well from its experience that design does play an important role in deciding destiny of a smartphone in the market. Company will surely implement learning from its experience in its next flagship Galaxy device that we are talking about.

There is 2GHz Exynos 5 OctaCore processor which is meant to deliver a smooth experience. The users will be able to do whatever they want, at a blazing speed. Most of concepts of Galaxy S5 claim that this smartphone will have Android Key Lime Pie version, but we are different here.

In the imaging part, there is a 16MP Primary Camera in the device. What makes this camera unique is its Carl Ziess lens. To allow you to shoot perfect moments, the primary camera has got Samsung’s own S:Vision sensor.
