Samsung Galaxy S5 Revealed

After numerous leaks, the next iteration of the Galaxy S series is finally official. The new Samsung Galaxy S5, announed at this years MWC event in Barcelona, is a relatively conservative upgrade to the Galaxy S4, and doesnt bring some of the huge improvements that many leaks were suggesting, like a 64-bit CPU and a 2K screen. So instead of bringing something brand new to the market, the Galaxy S5 rather seeks to improve upon its predecessors.

With an IP67 certification, a 5.1" 1080p screen, a 16MP rear camera with 4K video recording, Snapdragon 801 processing power and a new take on fitness features with a heart rate monitor, as well as an on-screen fingerprint scanner, the Galaxy S5 isnt a game-changing smartphone, but its still probably the best smartphone available. If only Samsung had wrapped up all of these new features with a more premium metal design...

Actually, my biggest gripe with the Galaxy S5 has to do with its design. On the bright side, Samsung did ditch the glossy plastic used in the Galaxy S4 and S3, in favor of a faux-leather texture., which is still plastic nevertheless However, instead of molding the plastic to look like leather, like in the Note 3, The S5s plastic back has what looks like perforated holes, not unlike what was on the back of the 2012 Nexus 7. While it definitely looks less cheap than the glossy plastic, its still far from looking premium and attractive. Even a simple, matte-finished plastic back like the one on the Nexus 5 or Moto G is more inviting than the S5s textured plastic design. The Galaxy S5 will be available in four colors at launch: a rather standard black and white, and two unusual colors, blue and gold.

The front face of the phone remains similar to the Galaxy S4, except that the sides are a bit less rounded, like with the Note 3. The only real difference is that the Menu key has been replaced with a Task Switcher key, the Menu button now being displayed on the UI.

The Galaxy S5 is significantly larger than the Galaxy S4, despite only a 0.1" increase in screen size. It measures 142mm tall, 72.5mm wide and 8.1mm thick, and weighs 145g. In comparison, the Galaxy S4 measures 136.6 x 70 x 7.9mm and weighs 130g. The main culprit for the S5s larger footprint is probably the IP67 certification, which is why Id like to see Samsung release a non-waterproof version of the Galaxy S5, which a smaller, lighter body, perhaps (finally) with a metal construction. In any case, the Galaxy S5 isnt too big nor too heavy. In comparison to another ~5" smartphone with an IP certification, the Sony Xperia Z2, the Galaxy S5 is comparatively smaller and much lighter.

The display is, on paper, almost identical to the one on the Galaxy S4. Screen size has increased only mildly to 5.1", while the resolution was kept at 1080p, resulting in a 432ppi pixel density. While that is lower than the S4s 441ppi (due to the smaller screen), the difference between 441ppi and 432ppi is impossible to notice, even with a microscope. Many rumors pointed to a 2K screen in the Galaxy S5, but I was actually very happy too see Samsung didnt make that move. A 2K screen would require too much power and GPU resources, not to mention that, at this screen size, the difference between 2K and 1080p wouldnt be very noticeable. Maybe in one or two years, when batteries will be larger and GPUs, more powerful, it might make sense to move up to 2K in smartphones, but for now its a no go, in my opinion. The screen technology employed is AMOLED, of course, and there should be some improvements to the technology regarding brightness output and color reproduction compared to the Galaxy S4.
So the Galaxy S5s screen isnt very different from the S4, but then again the S4s display is as good as smartphones should go for now, and the improvements to the AMOLED technology help make the S5s display at least slightly superior to the S4.

The processor in the Galaxy S5 is a Snapdragon 801, which offers comparatively much more power than the original Galaxy S4s Snapdragon 600 processor. The 801 is, however, very similar to the Snapdragon 800 processor found on the LTE-A variant of the Galaxy S4, which released towards the end of 2013. The Snapdragon 801 boasts of four Krait 400 cores running at up to 2.5GHz, an Adreno 330 GPU with an unprecedented clock speed of 578MHz, and a 64-bit wide LPDDR3 memory interface at 933MHz. The Snapdragon 801 may not be a huge step up from the 800, but that doesnt mean its not the most powerful SoC to date. Alas, the Snapdragon 800 already went neck to neck with the Apple A7 in some benchmarks, and outperformed it in others, so the Snapdragon 801 will only guarantee that Qualcomm retains the title of the manufacturer with the fastest SoC in existence. To put it shortly, the Galaxy S5 boasts of the best performance available in the mobile world.
The Galaxy S5 packs 2 GB of RAM, just like last years model. I expected this years S-flagship to pack 3 GB of RAM like the Note 3, but I assume that Samsung decided 2 GB was enough for the tasks the Galaxy S5 will undertake, and frankly I agree, especially since the S5 runs Android KitKat out of the box. The Galaxy S5s battery also got bigger compared to the S4, but not by much. The difference is only 200mAh, making the Galaxy S5s battery a 2,800mAh unit. Given that the screen size and resolution are very similar to the Galaxy S4s, the overall system power consumption shouldnt increase too much with the S5, so even the mild increase in battery size will probably help increase the battery life of the smartphone.

The Galaxy S5 continues the trend of continuously improving camera quality, packing a 16MP rear shooter. Aperture remains at F/2.2, and the new camera module makes use of ISOCELL technology, which means theres more separation between each pixel and improves on image resolution and increases the dynamic range. One feature which was ported over from the Note 3 is 4K video recording at 30FPS. We still dont have image and video samples for the Galaxy S5, but Im confident that image quality will be significantly improved over the Galaxy S4. The front-facing camera is a 2 MP unit capable of 1080p video recording.

Until now I only talked about improvements over the Galaxy S4, but what brand new features does the Galaxy S5 add? Firstly, theres a brand new take on smartphone fitness features with a heart rate monitor, which is located next to the LED flash. Some people will find this feature gimmicky, but I can definitely see it being useful for people who have an active lifestyle (this fits perfectly with the ruggedness of the Galaxy S5).
Also, in response to Apples Touch ID fingerprint scanner, Samsung has introduced a slightly different kind of fingerprint scanner on the S5. Instead of being on the home button, like on the iPhone 5s, the Galaxy S5s fingerprint scanner is built into the bottom-center portion of the screen, and its activated by swiping it, rather than holding it. Its not as convenient as Apples solution, but its still very good nevertheless.

Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8 4 First Impressions

Key Features: 8.4-inch 2560 x 1600p display; Magazine UX; Android 4.4 KitKat OS

Manufacturer: Samsung

What is the Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4?

The Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 is a part of Samsung’s new business-orientated tablet line and a direct rival to the iPad mini 2. With a stunning 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution display, the smallest of the three new Tab PRO models pairs its premium specs sheet with the company’s new Magazine UX interface. The tablet is also available in 10.1 and 12.2-inch forms. Finalised pricing is yet to be announced, but a Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 release date has been set for the latter part of Q1 2014.

Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4: Design

Cut from the same mould as Samsung’s recent tablet efforts, the Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 is a plastic clad unit, with the cheaper construction materials again giving the device a less premium feel and appearance than some of its rivals.

The 8.4-inch body measures in at just 7.2mm thick and 21.9cm wide, meaning it is slim enough to be held, comfortably, in a single hand. What’s more, the streamlined 336g weight is evenly distributed across the tablet’s full form, giving it a comfortably balance when held single-handed.

Although the leather-effect rear, similar to that found on the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, is again a disappointingly tacky addition, the tablet’s plastic body is less flimsy than its larger siblings. Thanks to its compact nature the Tab PRO 8.4 suffers from only minor bending when put under pressure. In contrast, the 12.2-inch model suffers from frankly ridiculous levels of unwanted flexing.

Set to be made available in both black and white colour schemes, the Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 features the usual Android touch buttons and benefits from a relatively streamlined bezel that further enhances the already impressive display.

Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4: Screen

Undoubtedly, the tablet’s biggest talking point, the Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 screen is, in short, stunning. With a 2560 x 1600 pixel resolution, the WXQGA LCD panel offers beautifully sharp, vibrant images that suffer from no pixilation or graining issues.

As tends to be the case on Samsung’s mobile products, the Tab PRO 8.4’s colour gamut, on first impressions at least, appeared a little warm and over saturated. Text is pin-sharp, however, and images impressively detailed and immersive.

The tablet’s 16:9 aspect ratio makes it ideal for multimedia consumption, with early video playback tests blowing us away thanks to smooth flowing, crisp visual content and half-decent inbuilt audio.

Responsive to the touch, the Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4’s screen was able to tackle all manner of multi-finger gesture controls without the slightest hint of fuss. Strangely, for such a business-themed tablet, Samsung has not bestowed the Tab PRO 8.4 with an integrated stylus, instead saving its S-Pen add-on for the larger Note PRO 12.2 offering.

Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4:Software and Performance

The new Magazine UX is one of the Samsung Galaxy TabPRO 8.4’s main talking points and one which, based on first impressions, looks set to make the tablet a far more engaging device than past Samsung offerings.

Gone is the traditional point-and-shoot icon-based TouchWiz UI, in is a more immersive software overlay, bringing more detail direct to the user. Removing the need to jump in and out of multiple applications to get to desired information, the Magazine UX is something of a halfway house between Android and Windows 8.

Powered by a 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor and 2GB of RAM, the tablet is speedy from the off, showing no signs of lagging or slow boot times during early use. Further testing will be required before final judgement can be passed on the tablet’s performance.

Aiding its business ilk, the Tab PRO 8.4 comes with a range of software pre-installed, from Samsung’s own word processing and presentation software to Easilydo Pro and Remote PC capabilities.

Sadly, due to the tablet’s compact size, the Tab PRO 8.4 does not offer enough on-screen real estate to display a full digital keyboard such as that introduced on the Samsung Galaxy Note PRO 12.2. Instead the standard, reduced tablet offering is present, limiting the device’s laptop-replacing credentials.

Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4: Features

As you would expect from a modern tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 throws its business credentials up in the air to make room for integrated cameras front and rear. While the 2-megapixel forward-facing snapper can be utilised for video calls, the 8-megapixel camera is more for entertainment purposes.

Based on early use in less than ideal lighting conditions, this camera collection is distinctly average, offering largely flat, stilted images that failed to capture the atmosphere of the pictures. Although colours were washy and shots grainy, we will need to further test the cameras in our upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 review before damming them completely.

Set to launch in both 16GB and 32GB storage options, the Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4’s capacity can be expanded by microSD up to 64GB.

With a 4800mAh Lithium-Ion battery under the hood, a full day’s use should be within reach, although further testing is required in this area.

First Impressions

While Samsung’s current trend is to make things bigger, the peewee Samsung Galaxy Tab PRO 8.4 is the most enticing of the company’s new ‘PRO’ branded tablets. With a more solid feel and slightly more appealing aesthetics than the larger options, the Tab PRO 8.4 is the closest the manufacturer has come to a true iPad rival.

Samsung Presents Samsung Galaxy S Galaxy Tab

Samsungs Galaxy family of devices make modern life truly mobile and brilliant. Read on to discover the many innovative features that put the Galaxy family in a league of its own.

Hardware

What Makes the Galaxy Tab Truly Mobile?

With 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth® 3.0, the Galaxy Tab takes mobile communication to a whole new level. By combining Samsung innovation with the Android 2.2 Platform, the Tab is truly a communication and entertainment tool. Its large battery (4,000 mAh) provides more than 7 hours of movie viewing time and because it’s powered by a Cortex A8 1.0GHz application processor, it’s designed to deliver high performance.

Increased Productivity on the Go

Experience PC-like web-browsing and enjoy all forms of multimedia content on the perfectly sized 7” display from anywhere as well as enjoy continuous communication via email, and video call, or social networking with the Galaxy Tab’s optimised user interface. At 7” it’s designed to fit in one hand but it’s easy to type on the Tab using a two hand thumb type style or by using SWYPE input technology.

Front and Rear facing Camera

As online content and creativity explodes, the Samsung Galaxy Tab is the best portable solution for every lifestyle that needs a constant connection. The device’s front facing camera allows for video chat with friends and business partners around the world. And, the rear-facing 3 megapixel camera with flash captures still images and video that can be edited, uploaded and shared.

Watch Video, Read and Play Games on the Go

Its striking 7” TFT-LCD display delivers an exciting mobile experience for watching films, viewing pictures, e-reading or sharing documents. Supporting the latest Adobe Flash Player 10.1, the Samsung Galaxy Tab fully supports swift, seamless viewing of every single page of the web. Flash support provides excellent video and gaming capabilities.

At the same time, HD video content is supported by a wide range of multimedia formats (DivX, XviD, MPEG4, H.263, H.264 and more) which maximises the joy of entertainment.

Media Hub: Buy Content Once and Share Across GALAXY Devices

At the same time, Samsung has unveiled the Media Hub, a gateway to a world of films and TV shows. Media Hub customers who purchase content to permanently own can share that content with five devices enabled with Media Hub at no extra cost.

Android Marketplace and Google Mobile Services

The Samsung Galaxy Tab is packed with services to complement and enhance life in different ways. There is access the Android™ Marketplace to download apps and personalize devices infinitely, as well as pre-loaded applications that are uniquely designed and optimised for Samsung smartphones and smart media devices.

Services like Google Maps™ Navigation (Beta) and Google Goggles are available on Googles Android platform. With useful location-based services like Google Maps™, search works using Standard English instead of entering an exact address. A search-by-voice function is just as intuitive, meaning searches can also be completed easily on the go. Google Goggles™ is a powerful, visual search tool that uses the Samsung Galaxy Tabs camera to uncover information – an image of a landmark or artwork is automatically used to perform a search, delivering relevant content like a description or history. In addition, with a camera, users can enjoy various augmented reality services which are downloadable in the application market.

Do More on the Go with the Galaxy Tab™

Why did Samsung make a 7” Tablet—because we’re into mobility and know that people are looking for compact communication and entertainment devices they can slip in their pocket and bring on the go. The Galaxy Tab is always connected, lightweight and smart. Its exceptional screen is designed for reading books and magazines, watching movies and playing games. The Galaxy Tab builds on the rich content experience provided by the Galaxy S line of Android smartphones.

Speed

Galaxy S: Smart Phones with Superior Speed

One of the most important parts of a smart phone is its processor, which is responsible for running all those cool applications lesser phones can’t handle. A good one handles a multitude of functions without sacrificing speed. New phones like the Samsung Galaxy S series offer powerful processors with never-before-seen speeds. Read on to learn why a fast processor matters.

Discover a More Efficient Design

A smartphone is a small computer. Some computers have a CPU for running applications, while other functions like display and sound are handled by separate chips. In modern smart phones all those functions are handled by one, dramatically improving speed.

Since smart phones have power-hungry features, like bright screens and intense graphics, saving power wherever possible is important. Today’s smart phone processors can automatically turn off idle features to conserve power.

Experience Intense Speed

Do you get frustrated when your phone stalls between programmes or while you’re scrolling across the page? Is something as simple as searching through photos or contacts taking longer than it should? The chips in most of the smart phones on the market today eliminate those issues with fast processor speeds.

They run at speeds of 500 or 600 MHz, with some of the latest phones boasting 1 GHz processors. Currently, the fastest available is the Samsung Galaxy S, with a 1 GHz Hummingbird processor. It can process 90 million triangles per second, compared to a Snapdragon processor which processes only 30 million per second. More triangles mean better image quality and much better frame rate—all in all, smoother, more realistic, more detailed graphics. Pair it with 8GB or 16GB of memory and its speed is unstoppable. With practically no waiting involved you can flip through menus, scroll through contacts, and surf the web with extreme ease.

Enjoy Blazing-Fast Multimedia

More and more smart phone makers offer a video and web experience similar to that of PCs. Because of that, the number of people that play mobile games on their smart phones has grown substantially.

For serious gaming enthusiasts, speed is everything. With a fast CPU like the one in the Samsung Galaxy S you’ll experience virtually no lag time, fast, and fluid motion along with ultra-realistic 3D graphics and intense colour. Uploading and downloading movies is also faster, and watching them is breathtaking thanks to incredibly smooth playback.

Multitask Like Never Before

A powerful processor on your phone can make a serious difference in everything you do. With a 1GHz processor like the one in the Samsung Galaxy S, speed is never an issue. Its Hummingbird processor is twice as fast as other leading Android processors. Open and transfer files, zoom in and out of pictures, write and send emails and fly through applications effortlessly, in mere seconds.

Power

Google Android OS Explained

Meet the new mobile standard—What’s Android OS? In short, it’s what makes your Smartphone so smart. Introduced by Google in 2007 as the ultimate mobile operating system, Android is an open source platform that turns your phone into a powerful web browser, game console, and personal assistant all in one.

An Android Joins the System

Android uses a fun, easy interface to organise and manage applications on some of the world’s most powerful phones. In fact, carrying around an Android phone is like having a pint-sized laptop right in your pocket.

If you’re a fan of using a cursor, the Samsung Ch@t 335 innovative optical trackpad is like having a mini-mouse built into your phone.

All About the Apps

The possibilities become limitless with access to the Android™ Market, a huge online bazaar filled with more than 150,000 applications—many of them free—to empower your phone.

Like to cook? Try the Jamie Oliver 20 minute meals app. Are you a sports fan? Live game updates are always just a few taps away with Sky Sports app. Productivity, entertainment, social networking, and causal games are in the palm of your hand, at all times.

Before you even visit the Market, you can check out Android’s pre-loaded selection of applications, ranging from YouTube™ to the Google Maps™ and search functions.

Always Getting Better

Your Android phone will just keep getting better. Unlike other closed systems that depend on one company for innovation, Android is an open platform, meaning that both Google and its partners are constantly making improvements.

Since its open source release in 2008, Android has had numerous updates—each bursting with new features and enhanced performance.

And because Android is software, there’s no need to buy a new phone to reap the benefits when it upgrades.

Ever Ready and Future-Forward

So what is Android? It’s having all the information you need at your fingertips. It’s the comfort of knowing that your phone’s operating system will constantly be up to date. And it’s about being connected today, always ready for tomorrow.
