Just hours before its official unveiling, the full specifications and photos of the Galaxy S5 have been leaked . The presentation of Samsung's new flagship phone won't be a huge surprise, but the various leaks over the past few weeks have certainly generated a lot of buzz.
The leak stems from a "mistake" by Pocket Lint, which had prepared a hands-on review of the device, which they had reportedly tested behind closed doors. The article, already written, was unintentionally published and immediately taken down. Of course, everyone noticed. This leak confirmed all the technical specifications.
Obviously, this article was accompanied by a series of close-up photos of the terminal that eliminates all mystery.
Galaxy S5 Specifications
The most noteworthy feature is undoubtedly its fingerprint reader , a technology already used by Apple in its iPhone 5S and now incorporated by its biggest rival. Setting it up requires showing your fingerprint eight times, and up to three different users can be registered. Furthermore, this system can be used as a security measure for PayPal payments.
The other most notable new feature is that it will be water resistant , having been built according to the IP67 protocol which also gives it protection against dust.
On the other hand, the S Health 3.0 application has been unveiled, which will help us monitor our physical activity and health in conjunction with wearable technology accessories such as Galaxy Gear smartwatches.
Its 5-inch Super AMOLED screen will have a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels , the same as the previous model. Its 16 MP camera features autofocus, selective focus, and HDR. It will also be able to record video in 4K.
This article doesn't mention the processor, but it does say that it will run Android 4.4.2 KitKat.
As for the construction material, it will be a greyish plastic that is stronger than usual but somewhat slippery according to Pocket Lint.
