SAMSUNG S5 now available in INDIA for Rs-45500
Of all the mobile phone manufacturer out
there, SAMSUNG is doing its best to stay at top. Our first thought when
holding the Galaxy S5 was that we'd been
through all this before a year ago, with the equally underwhelming
launch of the GS4. Our disappointment jibed with the reactions of other
bloggers around us at Mobile World Congress and with many readers'
comments on our hands-on article.
Folks seemed to forget about the phone after five minutes and switch
their attention to Samsung's new smartwatches, especially the delectable
Gear Fit.
First impressions aren't everything, however. A phone's charm can take a while to sink in, and you only have to look at the Galaxy S3 for proof of that. (I reviewed that handset
many moons ago, and must admit that I never expected it to do as well
as it did.) As add-ons go, the swipe-based fingerprint scanner and heart
rate monitor may not be astounding now that we've had the HTC One Max and fitness gadgets like the Withings Pulse,
but they might prove their utility in time. Even if they don't, the GS5
has other redeeming features, such as its 1080p AMOLED display,
phase-detection autofocus and basic water resistance, and it comes at
just the right time to win over GS3 owners whose contracts are coming to
an end.But the anticlimax is there nonetheless, and it most likely stems from a suspicion that Samsung's vast scale and manufacturing strength isn't being fully exploited. Like Apple, but unlike most other phone makers, Samsung has control over many different technologies that go into a smartphone, including the memory, display and -- most importantly -- the processor. It showed us glimpses of this cross-discipline expertise with the global versions of the Galaxy S2 and S3, whose in-house Exynos processors brought extra speed and graphics just when Android needed it, and it did something similar with the big-screened, stylus-equipped Galaxy Note series.
The S5 includes a built-in heart rate monitor, pedometer and fitness tracker, though I'm not sure how useful they actually are. For instance, to check your heart rate, you hold your finger over a sensor on the back of the phone - something I can't imagine doing in the middle of a jog.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is tipped to boast an updated 16MP camera with enhanced low-light performance and optical image stabilization. Earlier, the company unveiled its ISOCELL image sensor, which is expected to debut on the upcoming flaghip.
