Design and Body
Yes yes yes Samsung is still not willing to move on in terms of design time of the Galaxy S3. Visible only minor changes, while the material is still made of plastic which always has two sides. The good of this material is lightweight and does not retain heat, while the poor would see the price is priced, plastic does not provide a premium feel when held. Or maybe Samsung plastic retaining selling price does not soar so high? Given the unique features that are not owned competitors in this S5 Galaxy.
With dimensions of 142 x 72.5 x 8.1 mm and weighs 145 grams, formed by the S5 is not much different from the flagship Xperia Z2 (146.8x73.3x 8.2mm) and LG G2 (138.5x70.9x 8.9mm). So it still makes sense to take the pocket and put it to operate with one hand.
As a refresher, the back of the S5 converted into small spots motives which give a similar feel rough skin and does not stick to fingerprints. Starting with the S5, Samsung will apply a similar motif to the back of the other Galaxy family, which has been proven is S and Galaxy Tab K Zoom.
The face of the S5 filled with a notification LED, the earpiece, light and proximity sensors, secondary camera, 5.1-inch screen, as well as three function keys that this time Samsung Android reposition menu buttons into recent apps button, and home button that has a fingerprint sensor kind of swipe (like HTC Max). The back is filled with the main camera, underneath there is a box that contains a LED flash, and a sensor which will issue red light for detection of the heartbeat function. MicroSIM and microSD card slot are on the inside, so you have to open the back cover.
The right side of the phone is loaded with the lock / power, and the right side contains the volume keys. To the top of the filled 3.5mm headset port, mic, and an infrared port. While the bottom there is a mic, and a microUSB 3.0 port is closed the flap to be safe from water ingress. Although it has a waterproof feature, but Samsung still provide flexibility to the user with a battery that can be removed.
Screen size is only up one inch of S4 into a 5.1-inch, and still use the Super AMOLED panel FullHD resolution. Zoom? Very eye candy, the display looks very tight and punchy colors. Of course not everyone is happy with this panel type. Therefore, Samsung gave the election a few profiles such as Dynamic, Standard, Professional Pictures, Cinema, Display and Adapt. Certainly very wide viewing angle, and the screen can still give a good display even under sunlight.
interface
Out of the Box Galaxy S5 uses Android 4.4.2 Kitkat coupled with the latest TouchWiz UI which brings some new features. Page lockscreen comes with more minimal functionality minus the presence of a widget so from here you can only go to the camera or unlock it.
One of the most common functions and may be used on the fingerprint sensor is to open the lockscreen page. S5 is capable of storing up to three prints, but based on our experience if the S5 used one hand, the finger may be used for fingerprinting is the thumb, because it lies well below the buttons that are too difficult to recognize the fingerprint sensor fingerprint, is difficult because we do thumb swipe vertically with one hand. Alternatively provided input password, if not possible or does not recognize the device keeps the user's fingerprint.
Page homescreen is able to accommodate up to 7 pages plus page My Magazine which is on the far left. My Magazine itself as a launcher of application Flipboard. If you do not like it you can disable the My Magazine.
The new TouchWiz interface offers a more flat bright colors, so it looks more fun. One element of this change is visible in the notification window which now has a toggle icon circle shape. Permanent full toggle settings that can be customized, and the S key Finder Quick Connect, as well as the display brightness control slider. If you plug the headset then arises: Recommended apps section contains additional related applications.
Go to the apps icon app drawer looks great and is quite within the formation of 5 x 4 with the same background as the home screen wallpaper. This access may be emulated manufacturing one another, ie uninstall / disable the application. Uninstall may have been many who apply. But to be able to disable it, but for a novice user might seem complicated to be browsing the settings menu.
To bring aplikas-opened applications ever now not have to hold the home button, because there is a dedicated button, Samsung also kill all the functions and task manager applications. One more new one, with the Toolbox users can access multiple applications quickly because of a key three-point will always appear on the screen.
camera
Samsung Galaxy S5 privilege as the first Galaxy smartphone that uses sensors ISOCELL (For detail information can Teknokerz mengunungi this link). With 16MP resolution and comprehensive features, the camera in the S5 is claimed to produce images more perfect than that of its predecessor S4. At the beginning of using the user may be confused by the many settings and shooting modes are provided. There are also features such as selective focus M8 owned by HTC, with this mode the user can adjust the focus of the photographed object is to focus up close, far away or focus on both. If you feel there is a lack of mode-mode provided, users can download the other modes of the Samsung Store which requires that you have an account with the Sa
msung Store.
The quality of the front camera is quite good, and for the rear camera the results look great both inside and outside the room especially with fast focus, less likely you are to lose the moment. For indoors the images look brighter minimal noise remains sharp and the colors are quite natural. For detailed results seen outdoors, bright, evenly focused almost perfect, unfortunately like Samsung cameras in general color appeared slightly pale look less life is not as beautiful as it looks on screen Super AMOLEDnya.
S5 is able to provide users access to UHD resolution video recording (2160p), but some features will not be activated when recording. Users can also record slow motion, fast motion, and also smooth motion with a maximum resolution of 1080p only. Akann results are stored in MP4 format. The unfortunate S5 camera so it does not have OIS shake hands will feel in the video recording.
multimedia
Content images and videos loaded in the Gallery menu that can sort by time and albums. Content can also be filtered based on many categories such as events, people, scenery, documents, and more. By utilizing the DLNA connectivity you can also see the content or throwing content onto the device supports. There is an image processing application studios that have popular functions such as collage, so you are not required to download third-party applications.
To play music content available TouchWiz default Music app and the default Google Music Play. TouchWiz default music player comes with basic functionality that comes with various features such as an equalizer (either basic or advanced form), indigenous sound, play speed, auto off, lyric, and smart volume. Sound output via speakers is also an increase in S5, which sounds more powerful and faster, even you will feel the vibrations on the back of the phone when a voice issued at medium volume though.
Not necessarily through the Gallery, TouchWiz providing video as a dedicated application. Will be presented when entering the Personal tab contains two videos in the phone memory or memory card, and the tab for the content of the devices that are connected via DLNA. All popular video formats up to 4K resolution FullHD be played here even comes with a subtitle.
browser
Samsung to S5 is still giving them besides Chrome browser made the default condition is also present. Browser performance is also made by Samsung is not inferior to Chrome, perhaps also because the base used is Chrome Dev. The movement of the desktop versions of web pages feels smooth, maybe that is slow is when you do multitab process of switching among tabs where there is a little pause.

connectivity
Galaxy S5 runs on quadband GSM network 850/900/1800/1900 and quadband HSDPA 850/900/1900/2100. For local connectivity there is WiFi 802. 11 a / b / g / n / ac dual-band, Bluetooth v4.0 , A-GPS GLONASS, v3.0 microUSB MHL 2.1 USB on the go, microSD up to 128GB, and NFC.
Equipped with a Lithium Ion battery with a capacity of 2800 mAh removable, the battery is claimed to be able to perform 21 hours of talk time and stand by time up to 390 hours. To test the reality of our current play 720p MKV video with a duration of one hour airplane condition and the screen brightness reduced to 50% battery from 100% to 90% is still quite good. To increase battery life when crisis, Samsung infuse Ultra Power Saving mode where the screen will go black bleached (utilizing Super AMOLED screen) with access to certain menus.
conclusion
Galaxy S5 is the complement of the S4. However for major features not so much has changed. The most interesting feature of this device is a fingerprint sensor and heart rate. Especially this time Samsung provides the ability for water resistance and dust with a rating of IP 67 is high. Even so users are given the freedom to replace the battery as removable. Performance can be no doubt all the features work smoothly, although slightly heavy feel when using the camera. Remains, unfortunately Samsung still retain the plastic material for the entire body and also is the absence of support LTE connectivity. We recommend to change to S5 if the current users of the Galaxy S3 because we feel a significant difference. For those who want to move into the ranks of Samsung's flagship, the S5 is also worthy of consideration given after sales which has a good reputation.
