Samsung Singapore brought in the GALAXY S5, Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit for a media preview today.
* All pictures in this post taken with a Samsung GALAXY Note 3 phablet.
The new Samsung GALAXY S5 viewed from its right side, showing the volume rocker.
Many of the existing features have been enhanced eg. the 16MP camera which now features faster autofocus (0.3 sec) with the hybrid phase detection cum contrast detection autofocus mechanism, realtime-HDR and simulated Lytro-like post-shot selection of focal point.
First impressions:
At the end of the hour-and-a-half session, the impression was that the GALAXY S5 was loaded with features.
There is a feature to help you with anything you may need to do in your daily life.
You may only need 20 percent of the features available, but no matter what is it you need, chances are, there’s a feature for it.
The autofocus did feel really fast when I switched the focus from near to far and back and from light to dark etc.
The perforated design for the finish of the rear panel is a fresh change from the smooth surface of the S4.
I’ve already heard favourable comments from a number who have seen the design physically or on the Web.
The S5 is also dust and water resistant, while the fingerprint scanner worked smoothly to unlock the phone, although you can use that to make online payments using PayPal in Singapore.

There’s also the ultra power saving mode that extends the life of the battery to as much as 24 hours when its life has dropped to 10 percent.
