Samsung never fails to come up with new innovations under its sleeves. The time it announced the very first Galaxy smartphone it already made headlines. This is not just to provide the growing fans and users with what's new, but to also to show the mobile world that Samsung won't be dethroned, and will stand its ground to protect its kingdom. This is not simply an inverted version of 5S(Apple 5S, Galaxy S5). I'm sure you get the humor.

“With the Galaxy S5, Samsung is going back to basics to focus on delivering the capabilities that matter most to our consumers,” said JK Shin, President and Head of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung. “Consumers are looking for mobile tools that inspire and support them as they improve their everyday lives. The Galaxy S5 represents an iconic design with essential and useful features to focus on delivering the ultimate smartphone on the market today through people inspired innovation.”

The camera which is already a necessity for smartphones to record and capture moments with your family, friends and important events has been monsterized. Yes, Samsung Galaxy S5 comes with a 16MP snapper, which has an aperture of F/2.2(still needs confirmation). To the general regular users, this means more light will come in, which make its great for shooting in low-light. Not only that but also gives you the perfect depth-of-field, allowing you to make the subject pop-up while the background is blurred.

 When it comes to connectivity, the Samsung S5 is loaded with Wi-Fi, BT 4.0, NFC and of course LTE (via your service provider). So no matter which connection you prefer to share your files, pictures, music, etc. the Samsung S5 does the job for you.

The addition of the built-in finger scanner is truly a gem, as it allows you to safe keep your files and important financial info that is "for your eyes only".

The Galaxy S5 main goal is to "focus on what matters most to consumers", so aside from bringing additional power to the hardware specs, it's also loaded with S Health 3.0.

Also, the release of Samsung Gear Fit extends these great features, making them a dynamic duo
