Detailed testing of one of the newest smartphones for the new season

Incredibly, one of the most popular and updated new products among mobile devices is the latest update of the flagship line of Samsung smartphones – the Galaxy S5. The new product will not require a special presentation - over the past years, the Korean company Samsung Electronics has managed not only to become scandalously famous for the number of ship calls with its rival American Apple, but also to become equal to it operating in the lighting market for the sale of tablets and, especially, smartphones.

Before speaking, the Koreans have firmly accustomed the Koreans to the idea that Samsung will now have two flagship smartphones on the market. They are representatives of two top product lines that are collapsing in parallel courses - Galaxy Note and Galaxy S. Recently, a new line of tablet phones was launched - the latest smartphone Samsung Note 3, about which we have written so much recently, has been sold out. Now it’s time to update a series of smartphones with a more “civilized” design.

Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S4

Smartphones of the Galaxy S series have always differed greatly from their tablet counterparts in the Note line in the same sizes - although they have become thinner due to the dimensions of the device. However, with the release of the Galaxy S5, we need to know that what separates them is becoming faster and faster. Moreover, the dimensions of the skin of the Galaxy S line are larger, and those of the Note line are constantly changing. The Galaxy Note 3 has become the smaller of its siblings, and the Galaxy S5, however, has such a large size that you can now wonder: what, exactly, is the difference between the current representatives of the two lines? Their productivity is absolutely the same, the design is similar, the price is the same, and we have already been told about the dimensions. Doesn't all the difference now lie in the visibility or absence of an electronic pen?

Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 3

Every time, there is no anticipation of a special technological breakthrough in the new flagship of the Galaxy S line. New technological developments have not yet been developed, but everything has already been poured into life, and now they are refining, adding, polishing - improving functionality. And it’s not just about Samsung devices—the entire market is constantly in the grip of what’s new. This, before speaking, is clearly noticeable in the case of the two remaining light IT-exhibitions that have emerged around Las Vegas and Barcelona. The products of the Korean company were not a culprit: in terms of hardware and technology, the new flagship is not much different from the previous one (Samsung Galaxy S4) - now the priority is to improve functionality. Possibility of over-the-air data transmission, camera program interface updates, a wide range of fitness accessories, heart rate monitor, finger scanner, as well as with wired light content and service providers the formation of a mass of different surcharges with a long-term prepaid prepayment above what is now buy from Samsung. Gigabytes and gigahertz seem to have moved onto another plane, perhaps even better. It’s surprising that the Koreans didn’t add any RAM to their new flagship – the Galaxy S5 only has 2 GB of RAM, although there are still some changes to the new product in hardware terms.

External appearance and handiness of the vikoristan

As already mentioned, the new model of the Galaxy S series has become significantly larger in size, lower in front. Once you have a smartphone in your hand, you will find that you have crossed that invisible line called “a little more and it will be too much”: now the device has become truly bulky and extremely important. For the chest of a shirt, for example, it is now definitely an inaccessible guest, although, of course, people who firmly decided to go about their lives with a “shovel” ahead of the curve, there is nothing unusual about the size of the new Galaxy S. Still, it is smaller than the Galaxy Note 3, although the difference is still minimal. And yet, unsurprisingly, it was still necessary, with practically new screens, to work on a new model with a larger one behind the front. On the Galaxy S4, the side frames, for example, are only 3 mm wide, and on the Galaxy S5 they have grown to 4 mm, which means that both the upper and lower parts of the frame are shrinking - the frames have also become significantly wider, although the screen itself remains virtually unchanged in size .

What's wrong with the current look, then the designers are clearly pursuing a single design line: metal and skin, skin and metal - the stench is now stagnating in all the company's mobile devices (including numerous gadgets to be). Skoda only people who, at the dismal prices at which their current flagships are sold, wanted the company to provide proper skin - perhaps then these devices would look more stylish. However, as before, here we use highly molded plastic to create the appearance that the back wall of the smartphone is made from the skin. The texture on the plastic is similar to that of the Galaxy Note 3: there are some pseudo-embossings on the surface of the impression of digital dots. It looks nice and fresh, more recognizable than the glossy plastic that has been decorating the surfaces of all Galaxy S and Galaxy Notes for a long time.

As much as there is a need for metal, there is also no such thing here: the shiny “chrome-plated” lining along the entire perimeter of the body (the same as in the earlier models, only with a different veneer) is due to sawing on plastic, not real metal. The cover of this, before speaking, has also become significantly wider and more common, adding to the importance of the smartphone as a whole.

The top of the lining is slimy - for the shell of it, as well as for the shell of the small mass of the devices, it is easy to lift it from the surface of the table, the fragments of the foamed aggregate cannot be felt by the fingers.

The back cover is easily removed from the body and is easy to put on - it is traditionally attached to several plastic clips, for sealing with a nail there is a marking ledge. Under the cover there are slots for SIM cards and memory cards, arranged in a “sandwich” one on top of one.

The slot for the rechargeable battery has been treated less well, which means it supports the cards, but the memory card can still be replaced “hot”. There is only one SIM card in the device, the Micro-SIM format; a microSD memory card can be configured up to 128 GB.

The rear part of the smartphone is square at the end of the camera module, which is large in size, and there are light-colored beds next to it. Below you can see the eyes of the sensor for measuring the pulse. The heart rate sensor chamber is embedded in the body, and it also has its own illumination - a small light-emitting diode element illuminates the finger of the finger applied to the camera, thus monitoring the heart rate. Even lower is the opening for sound to exit from the speaker with a slightly curved rod, and the whole thing is decorated with a silver-plated company logo.

The front panel has not seen any significant changes - this is a common element of all Samsung mobile devices. You can see, first of all, its long mechanical key under the screen, which has once lost its additional functionality. This button also confirms the scanning of a fingerprint - now no one can convince the Koreans that they do not touch a gold smartphone with a fingerprint scanner. When you look at the iPhone scanner, you can’t just put your finger on it: you have to move the keys with it, and also with the required speed - if you get too wet, you can recognize failure. In this case, the iPhone scanner looks better: not only is there no need to touch the device with your finger, but you can also place your finger on the button under the cover, which allows you to touch the device with a hand grip. With the Samsung Galaxy S5 scanner, you will have to touch the devices with one hand, and move the other hand over the sensor, which even turns on, and most users will simply turn on this function.

The mechanically controlled touch buttons move brightly and are illuminated with an hour of light that adjusts, which is commendable. Above, above the screen, you can see the later cut-out in the glass for sound to exit from the rear speaker, and next to it are the eyes of the front camera and sensors. There is also a LED alert indicator that lights up in different colors depending on the charging status and inputs - its functions can be adjusted: switched on or off.

There are two buttons on the side edges: on the left - adjustment of the tension, on the right - on and off. The large metallic keys of all Samsung smartphones have a soft move and intense pressure, they are surprisingly easy to find, and in this regard, the products of the Korean company are one of the best on the market.

At the top end, one row with another headphone jack (3.5 mm) and an infrared transmission unit were quietly arranged, which serves for the use of various equipment as a remote control for the device. With a proprietary security program called Smart Remote, it’s natural to move from model to model, here and there. The functionality of Smart Remote programs is at its best: it is not only possible to connect a smartphone to an additional infrared port with any equipment, but it can also act as an interactive program.

At the bottom end, the USB 3.0 socket is covered with a metallic cover with a gum gasket - it protects the smartphone from being sunk in the middle by saws and vologists. Well, the new flagship of the Galaxy S line has been certified to meet the IP67 standard. In principle, it was the same as the previous model, but there was also a line under the name Galaxy Active. The protection in the Galaxy S5 device is the same as it is there: a gum gasket is glued to the inner surface of the back cover, and the openings are closed with special plugs. It’s nice that every time you pull up the back cover or remove the plug from the Micro-USB connector, the smartphone itself reminds you of the need to close the dry cover (the guess can be turned on).

Well, finally - about the most exciting thing: now a new color has appeared in the arsenal of the Galaxy S line - gold. Moreover, there are three more colors on sale, which were previously used on flagship Samsung devices (for example, Galaxy S3). Following tradition, they were given romantic names: Vugol-black (black), Sparkling white (white), Electric blue (blue) and Copper gold (golden). For additional embellishments, for the decoration of the keychain or for the decoration, the same fasteners are not transferred.

Screen

The Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone has a Super AMOLED touch matrix. The screen size should be 63x113 mm, diagonal - 5.1 inches, separate dimensions - 1920x1080 pixels. This parameter, the density of pixels per inch, is higher than 432 ppi - the density is even higher.

The screen was covered with a dry glass. The thickness of the frames from the edge of the screen to the edge of the body should be approximately 4 mm, the frames are not narrower, and the smell was smaller in the front model.

The brightness of the display can be adjusted manually, or it can be adjusted automatically. Multi-touch technology allows you to process up to 10 one-hour dots. The screen can be touched with mittened hands, which makes it more sensitive to any signals, so the settings allow you to enable this function. Є a smartphone and a proximity sensor that blocks the screen when you bring the smartphone to your ear.

A detailed examination of the prevailing trends of the regions is provided by the editor of the sections “Monitory” and “Projectors and TB” Oleksiy Kudryavtsev. Let's bring this expert thought about the screen of the monitored image.

The front surface of the screen has the appearance of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface, resistant to smudges. Judging by the brightness of the display of the objects, there is a very effective anti-glare filter, which outweighs the reduced brightness of the display filter of the Google Nexus 7 (2013) screen (hereinafter simply Nexus 7). For clarity, let’s take a photo in which the white surface is displayed on the darkened screens (left-handed – Nexus 7, right-handed – Samsung Galaxy S5, then they can be separated by size):

Due to the small difference in the color tone of the image and frames, it is important to visually assess the amount of change in image brightness, however, statistics from the graphics editor show that the screen on the S5 is actually a little darker, Nexus 7. about those that have no wind gap between the screen balls. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (fat-resistant) coating (more effective, maybe a little more beautiful, than on Google Nexus 7), so fingerprints are visible much easier and appear less smooth yu, lower at the end of the slab.

When the white field was displayed on the entire screen and with manual brightening, the maximum value became 340 cd/m2, the minimum - 2 cd/m2. Regardless of the importance of brightness, using a smartphone in bright daylight can cause rusting, as long as the effective anti-glare filter is disabled. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that in this case, the smaller the white area on the screen, the brighter it is, so that the maximum brightness of the white areas will be higher than the specified value. For example, when displaying white on half the screen, the maximum brightness after an hour of manual adjustment moves up to 360 cd/m². The low brightness mode allows you to use your smartphone in extreme darkness without any problems. It operates automatically to regulate the brightness of the light sensor (if the right-hand drive is removed from the front handheld lever). This function can be modified by adjusting the settings according to −5 before +5 one. Next, for three minds, we will adjust the screen brightness value for three values ​​​​adjusting - for −5 , 0 і +5 . In the dark mode, in automatic mode, the brightness changes to 4.9 and 16 cd/m² (in the dark it’s dark), in a brightly lit office (approximately 400 lux) the brightness is set to 100, 180 and 270 cd/m² (pleasant) ), in a brightly lit room (suggests brightness on a clear day, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 lux or a little more) - moves up to 420-425 cd/m² for all three The correction value is greater than the maximum for manual adjustment and must be adjusted for safe reading on the sun. In principle, the result of the operation of this function is similar to that of the operator. With reduced brightness, modulation with a frequency of 240 Hz is established. The brightness level (all vertical) is set on the baby below at the same time (all horizontal) for three brightness adjustment values:

It can be seen that at maximum brightness the modulation is practically small (the amplitude is insufficient for visual clarity), but at medium and low brightness the modulation amplitude is high, thus the depth of the image You can test for the presence of a stroboscopic effect or simply with blind Russian eyes. Due to individual sensitivity, such measures may lead to increased fatigue.

Which smartphone has a Super AMOLED matrix - an active matrix on organic light-emitting diodes. A multi-color image is created using subpixels of three colors - red (R), green (G) and blue (B), and there are twice as many green subpixels, which can be called RGBG. This is confirmed by a fragment of a microphotograph:

(To be sure, you can check out the gallery of microphotographs of screens that you can get from mobile technology.)

For such matrices, Samsung has released a name PenTile RGBG. The separate part of the screen is important for the green subpixels; for the other two, it will be twice as low. The shape of the subpixels in this version is similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen. This version of PenTile RGBG is more beautiful, less old, with red squares, blue rectangles and small green subpixels. However, the unevenness of the contrasting cordons and other artifacts are still present. For example, when black-and-white light is displayed every pixel (the original can be taken in reverse), the vertical lines appear uneven, and the horizontal non-contrast and divisions are not bright, but have a green space. A fragment (an output photo is available when sent) of a macro photograph reveals the reason:

It can be seen that the vertical lines have a black gap and those that, in total, behind the colors of the subpixels can be considered more important, but through the black subpixels on one side there is some unevenness of the lines. Each horizontal line has no white space (there are green subpixels) and no black space (there are red and blue subpixels). However, since artifacts become of purely academic interest, the fragments in the minds of a mobile wiki is extremely difficult to visually separate such details. As a result, the tolerance margin reduces the “specialness” of the PenTile RGBG matrix.

The screen is characterized by wonderful colors, although the white color, when applied to the incredibly large colors, takes on a slight tint, but the black color is just black under whatever colors. may fade slightly and have a “metal” finish). The flooring is black, so the contrast parameter simply doesn’t work in this situation. When viewed perpendicularly, the uniformity of the white field is uniform. For the sake of balance, we take photographs on both the screens of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the other party where new images were displayed, the brightness of the screens is set to approximately 210 cd/m². Perpendicular to the screens there is a white field:

You can note the remarkable evenness of brightness and color tone of the white field. І test picture (in mode Standard):

The transfer of colors is clearly poor, but with all the intelligence of the Primus color balance in the camera, set at 6500 K, it is clear that the colors of the S5 are clearly “cooler” and may have too much saturation. Now it is approximately 45 degrees below the surface and to the side of the screen. White field:

The brightness on both screens has noticeably changed (to avoid strong darkness, the brightness has increased twice as much as the previous two photographs), but on the Samsung version the drop in brightness is much less pronounced. 1st test picture:

It can be seen that the colors have not faded from all screens and the brightness of the Samsung S5 is noticeably higher.

The alternation of the elements of the matrix is ​​practically identical, but at the front of switching on (or even turning off) there may be a convergence (or two) with a width of 16.7 ms (indicative of the screen refresh frequency of 60 Hz). For example, this is the intensity of brightness per hour when moving from black to 25% dark (for the numerical values ​​of the color) and back:

In some minds, the presence of such a convergence can lead to trains that drag on objects that collapse, but in case of emergency, it is practically impossible to retrieve these artifacts. Apparently, dynamic scenes in films on OLED screens are displayed with high clarity and evoke a certain “sweetness” of the spirit.

The ability to customize the color is implemented on the page with the selection of profiles, one of which may be subject to automatic adjustment (profile Adapt Display):

If one of the three fixed profiles is selected, in addition to the profile Dynamic, generated at 32 points at equal intervals for numerical values, the shade of the gray gamma curve did not reveal a significant drop in either light or shadow, and the indicator of the approximated static function is more than 2.2 8-2.30, which is slightly higher than the standard value of 2.2 , in which the real gamma curve practically does not differ from the static position:

For profile Dynamic The gamma curve exhibits several S-like expressions, which increases the visible contrast of the image. It is likely that with some OLED screens, the brightness of image fragments dynamically changes depending on the nature of the image that is displayed - it changes for light ones in the overall image and increases for dark ones. As a result, the amount of brightness in the shade (gamma curve) was removed, which does not at all resemble the gamma curves of a static image, since the fading was carried out with the sequential display of gray shades on the entire screen. This image dynamism increases as you select the option. Auto tuning brightness of the screen. The brightness level is lower at the hour, removed when switching from the black field to the white and back with the option turned off and on Auto tuning brightness of the screen:

In another type, the vigor begins to decrease after every hour. The image of the piece is darkened, which saves the energy of the piece.

Column of different profiles Dynamic, Standardі Professional photography very wide and even covers the Adobe RGB coloration:

When choosing a profile Cinema The coloring is pushed up to the sRGB cordons, but all the same, a little wider is lost:

Without correction, the spectra of the components are well separated:

Have a profile Cinema With maximum correction, the color components are already slightly mixed one to one:

It is significant that on wide-colored screens, primary images optimized for sRGB devices look unnaturally saturated. You can learn more from taking more photographs. However, a visual assessment showed that when choosing a profile Cinema The density is noticeably reduced, and the colors become close to natural. The photo of the screen, taken after selecting this profile, is placed below:

Unfortunately, most popular shades of skin, for example, are still slightly oversaturated.

The balance of shades on the gray scale is imperfect, but rather pleasant. Color temperature of profiles Dynamicі Standard significantly higher than 6500 Do, in two cases it is close to 6500 Do, in its part of the scale from gray to white to dark-dark gray color this parameter changes even more strongly. The difference in the spectrum of an absolutely black body (ΔE) on most of the gray scale is lost to the lower one by 10 units, which for a resilient organism is considered a good indicator, and also changes slightly:

(The darker areas of the gray scale may not be correct in most cases, since the balance of colors there is not of great importance, and the loss of color dimming at low brightness is great.)

Note the pouch: the screen can achieve high maximum brightness and an effective anti-glare filter, so the smartphone can be used without any problems on a sunny summer day. In the dark, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. It is acceptable, but in bright light it is recommended to use the mode with automatic brightness adjustment, which works more or less adequately. Before changing, the screen needs to have a good oleophobic coating and a color balance close to the standard one (when selecting different profiles). At the same time, let us remind you about the hidden advantages of OLED screens: consistent black color, excellent uniformity of the white field, less lower color, decreased brightness of the image when looking at the background. To a small extent, you can modulate the brightness of the screen, which appears at medium and low brightness values. Those who are especially sensitive to the slightest degree of pain may suffer from fatigue. Tim is no less, the brightness of the screen is even higher.

Sound

The sound level of the smartphone is approximately the same as the Galaxy S4. The sound in the world is bassy, ​​there is no reduction in low frequencies, it is clear in all ranges, but not so booming - the devices and loudspeakers have become louder (HTC One or Oppo Find 5, for example). The barriers for sound exit are embedded in the back wall, so the sound is muffled when the device is lying on the table. In a simple voice, the voice of a familiar companion, timbre and intonation are unrecognizable, making telephone conversations with the Samsung Galaxy S5 completely comfortable.

To play musical compositions in the device, you can choose from three player installations: Google Play Music, Yandex.Music and the Samsung music player. All sound effects when playing a melody with a proprietary programmer are combined with a technology called SoundAlive - although some are only available with headphones connected. However, the sound optimization function is missing. There are a lot of different virtual effects, they are included in a matrix of squares, you can experiment for a long time.

Camera

Samsung Galaxy S5 is equipped with two digital camera modules with separate 16 and 2 megapixels. It is possible to take photos from the front with a maximum separation of 1920×1080, and video is taken from this same separation.

The main rear camera is equipped with a new 16-megapixel module with overhead autofocus (focusing in 0.3 s), stabilization, a single-section LED flasher and the ability to capture video from a separate source UHD (4K). In addition to one fashionable function - video recording from a separate source 4K - there is another one here: like in the new Sony Xperia Z2, there is the possibility of selective focusing, You want to see a small part of the image, leaving out the background. Also, to achieve the low depth of field (DOF) effect, you no longer need to use special lenses or lenses.

When taken in the automatic mode, which is installed after washing, the photographs come out with a size of 5312×2988. The design and organization of the new interface with the camera has been well done. Here, as soon as you go to the audio-listening menu, everything is plotted on the same lines, which are always respected, interactive, and branded in a different way, the entire menu is clearly visible in the bright dream light. With the help of the menu for setting up the camera control, it may be the best on the market for easy access to all functions and details.

The camera can record video from a separate source UHD (4K), you can select a range of resolutions up to a maximum of 3840×2160. Traditionally tuned for the remaining top models of the mobile market, there is a mode of accelerated and accelerated adoption. The butts of the test rollers are pointed lower.

• Video No. 1 (189 MB, 3840×2160, 4K)
• Video No. 2 (58 MB, 1920 1080, 1080p)
• Video No. 3 (123 MB, 3840×2160, 4K for the host)
• Video No. 4 (71 MB, 1280×720, full size)
• Video No. 5 (4 MB, 1920×1080, upscaled)

Attach a photo with our comments below.

	The sharpness of the photo is good.
	The sharpness across the frame is also poor.
	Other details have been processed to perfection.
	With backlighting, the camera does not handle it so well, and the exposure is chosen poorly.
	On thin lines, you can notice small fluxes from the noise reduction robot - even if you look closely.
	If there is insufficient illumination, noise can be seen, but it is obviously small.
	The camera does a good job of eliminating noise in the shadows. True, the detail suffers a little.
	Macro in case of insufficient light in the camera is not good, but it is necessary to speed up the focus through the bright windows.
	With good lighting, the macro photography of the camera works well.
	Another good macro butt.
	The text is well prepared, but a little damaged. However, it is not turned off, so the camera works more accurately with more text.
	Stitching panoramas is practically ideal. Dynamic objects suffer, which is entirely natural.

	Lighting ≈1300 lux. The camera copes very well.
	Lighting ≈460 lux. The situation practically does not change.
	Lighting ≈240 lux. There are noticeable noises, especially her breathing.
	Lighting ≈240 lux, sleeping. Spalah will clearly improve the situation, perhaps turning around the exit permit.
	Lighting<1 люкс. В темноте камера не справляется.
	Lighting<1 люкс, вспышка. И в темноте вспышка отрабатывает очень хорошо.

Let us first note that the camera now houses a 1/2.6" format sensor, and not just a larger separate unit, whereas earlier smartphone cameras were only equipped with 1/3" format matrices (unfortunately Nokia), or even less, So far, Sony has not considered installing a 1/2.3 format sensor in the Xperia Z1. So, Samsung, following Sony, has started a significant, or even correct, revolution in directly increasing the brightness of pictures. And, I need to say, the result is already noticeable with a keen glance.

First of all, you can already see the nasty robot with the noise. Processing them still deprives most of the beauty, but because you can’t see the images pixel by pixel, noticeable strong color noise in the shadows is practically no longer visible. It is clear that this is the result of noise reduction, but the greater separation allows you to produce noise more delicately, and the larger size of the sensor reduces the likelihood of the appearance of strong noise. Of course, we won’t go into the nitty gritty about pixel size (similar to HTC) and we won’t worry about the camera’s capabilities, otherwise the enlargement of the sensor will surely bear fruit. In another way, the detail of the image has improved, which is also due to the greater resolution and larger sensor.

I would like Samsung to improve noise reduction, so that the camera can be compared with ordinary compacts. Even if she wants to have a good time without anyone, it’s clear that they treated her kindly. The camera optics work equally across the entire frame and on all planes. Of course, it would be surprising to see that the flagship has a few spots in such places, we have already met with similar ones. Sharping can only be known if you know it. The only thing that really can’t be called ideal is the noise reduction robot - a similar result of processing on photographs of the current flagship already looks archaic.

Based on the results of taking the stand, you can make a note that the actual separateness of the shots may not be found, but we have already noticed that in this case this is not the main characteristic, especially in the vicinity of such values, the fragments may be juicy, but not at all completely natural. Tim is no less, the separate size of the cell is quite decent. It is also important to ensure that the robot is working on the same sensor, which will work stably under different lighting conditions.

The cover of the camera is well made, practically on par with compact cameras. Of course, there is something to work on, and somewhere to go. It looks like a good choice for capturing documentary and mystical subjects.

Telephone and communication

On the communication capabilities of the Samsung Galaxy S5, there is a special note: the smartphone operates in the fifth generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac with support for the 2×2 MIMO mode – in which mode data can be received and transmitted in two streams, then up to two times and in Sweden, lower in the first generations of devices, including 802.11ac. In addition, the device will support a large number of 4G (LTE) frequencies and speeds that comply with the LTE Category 4 standard – up to 150 Mbit/s. With a SIM card from the domestic operator Megafon, a smartphone is practically guaranteed to work with the LTE network.

In addition, the smartphone supports the 5 GHz Wi-Fi band and the NFC standard. As a standard, you can organize a drone-free access point via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, i.e. Wi-Fi Direct mode. The navigation module operates both with the GPS system (with A-GPS) and with Glonass. The speed and efficiency of the GPS module is not a problem: the system works quickly, seamlessly, and the navigation module can easily find your first satellites and communicate with your surroundings.

Mimovilnykh rezavantazheniya/vyknen for an hour of testing was not prevented. The screen of the smartphone is large, which makes printing letters and numbers on virtual keyboards much more convenient for use. It’s really easy to see the top row with numbers – you won’t have to immediately change the layout. And the layout itself and the arrangement of the keys are not the same as with others: instead of just pressing the visible button on the image of the globe, here you have to switch the layout of the other larynx keys, which is incredibly less manual. The phone program supports Smart Dial, so that when you dial a phone number, it automatically searches for the first characters in your contacts. The support of a water-free sheet of paper is not present, but the ability to push the keyboard closer to one of the edges, as on the Galaxy Note series of tablets, is not there.

OS and software

As a system, the software platform Google Android latest version 4.4.2 (Kitkat) and the proprietary graphical interface TouchWiz, the new appearance having recognized the changes, are used. Having become, now with the new fashion, more “flat”, which was clearly beneficial for me, although the traditional Asian flatness was lost. The new appearance of the menu has been adjusted: now all the icons have the appearance of a completely new group and have been redesigned in the appearance of a single long list. Of course, the menu display can be changed to the old look with vertical tabs. In this case there will be no more just one number of them, as before, but a total of six. There was a new look for the interface and the menu was set up more like the old one: everything is combed, organized, more symmetrical, the work with various subsections of the menu has become intuitively clearer. The program installation menu has not made any significant changes, but now you can display a special button on the working screen, which, when pressed, opens a context menu with easy access to the most popular programs. The notification menu included two additional visible oval buttons to quickly navigate to search for the entire smartphone and enable the function of quick connection to known devices.

Before the other methods of blocking a smartphone, there is now one more available: you can block the screen using an additional fingerprint, a fingerprint scanner located on the central key under the screen. To successfully memorize the texture of the pad of your finger, you need to swipe the sensor at least once, after which you will have to come up with a standard digital code so that after five tries your finger will become unrecognizable. Close, if you create a personal password, the robber imposes restrictions: your attempt to create a digital password failed - you need to alternate numbers with letters.

Before speaking, food security has improved in the Samsung Galaxy S5 and there are another innovations: now in the “Children” mode, you can only allow access to the previously allowed programs, after which you can safely trust the devices for 30 thousand rubles to spend i.

If you are already talking about games, then you should know that you have tried games such as Dead Trigger 2 and Asphalt 8 on your smartphone - no problems were found with their programming.

Another specific operating mode has been added to the smartphone, which the developers themselves spoke about at presentations. In fact, this is the main energy-saving mode, which is the case with any program used to save energy in mobile devices, Samsung simply allows its smartphone to completely “freeze” in this mode. When the maximum energy saving mode is selected, not only all edge interfaces are turned on, but the graphical interface of the shell becomes black and white, and the number of programs allowed to work is severely limited. Naturally, in this mode, the smartphone can be “processed” much more efficiently (no doubt), the protection of the robot is carried out within the same limited framework.

One of the central add-ons that is installed in current top-end Samsung smartphones, which retailers are constantly guessing about, is a program for maintaining physical health called S Health. Volodya’s program includes a wide range of functions necessary for improving health: monitoring, recording physical rights, monitoring food intake, etc. Now the addition is not only the removal of the new version of S Health 3.0, but also the addition of additional functionality You can see the hardware pulse doctor. Basically, these programs used to work behind an additional smartphone camera to record heart beats, but now for this they have seen an entire block with a small camera and switches. You need to place your finger on the groove in the back of the phone, and then the program will revive your pulse. Of course, this data is saved, compiled and displayed in the form of graphs and it is a pleasure to adopt a healthy way of life.

Productivity

The Samsung Galaxy S5 hardware platform will be based on a single-chip, four-core system (SoC) Qualcomm Snapdragon 801. The new platform has the functionality of the Snapdragon 800 with a higher frequency of processor cores: Snapdragon 801 can run at frequencies up to the cores The chip is connected to 2.36 GHz.

The processor is supported in graphics processing by the same Adreno 330 video processor, and there is also an increase in frequencies: the GPU is now clocked up to 578 MHz instead of 450 MHz. About 12 GB of RAM is available for the consumer's needs in the device (out of 16), the total RAM here is 2 GB - in this regard, there was no increase, surprisingly, at the time when Sony equipped its new flagship three gigabytes of RAM. This model supports microSD memory cards, and you can also connect external flash drives, keyboards and bears using a special adapter in OTG mode.

Since the most powerful and most productive of competing serial platforms is the MediaTek MT6592 SoC, which includes all full-fledged processor cores that [simultaneously] operate at frequencies up to 2 GHz, then it is logical include the results themselves into the equation first. It’s worth remembering that we recently released a review of the powerful TCL Idol X+ smartphone, which is based on the maximum version of this platform. Also up to date, of course, the results are demonstrated in the same tests by the latest version of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 platform, which is used by all the top smartphones of the past. However, the most important battle of today will not happen, because the main competitor of the hero of today, the flagship smartphone Sony Xperia Z2, also based on the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, has not yet reached our test laboratory. In the near future, we will definitely be updating the Samsung Galaxy S5 data that was released today.

To eliminate statements about the productivity of the smartphone platform, we will conduct a standard set of tests.

All the results that we collected when testing the smartphone using the latest versions of popular benchmarks were compiled into a table for ease of reference. The table contains a number of other devices from different segments, also tested on similar versions of benchmarks (be careful not to make a preliminary assessment of the dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of one level it is not possible to reveal the results from different versions of benchmarks, so “behind the scenes” they will be deprived of a lot of current and current models - through those that at one time were “slowly recoded” on the latest versions of test programs.

Testing in MobileXPRT, as well as in other versions of AnTuTu 4.x and GeekBench 3:

The pouches are tested like this. As for the competing MediaTek MT6592, the new Qualcomm system (Snapdragon 801) is up to par with it. It’s not surprising at all, considering that the previous version of the Snapdragon 800 coped with it. Until the comparison with the Snapdragon 800, the results of all tests showed practically no real increase: the same maximum 35K points for AnTuTu, and in other benchmarks the difference is negligible - between the margins.

Before speaking, there are these results: fragments of testing of today's smartphone with a significant device, and over the next century, others will improve, then, singly, it is easy to predict a new balance of power. If we look at the numbers of the popular AnTuTu benchmark, it looks something like this: all cores of MediaTek MT6592 with a frequency of 2 GHz show 31K points in this test (26 thousand points for eight-core Zopo 998 and THL T100S with less frequency of processors) and close to 35 thousand - for top smartphones such as LG G2, Sony Xperia Z1, Acer Liquid S2 and now Samsung Galaxy S5, based on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800/801 hardware platform. There are two main conclusions that emerge as a result of all these changes: TCL Idol X+ is the first smartphone on the MediaTek platform, which is almost ready to reach the leading solutions at Qualcomm, even if it costs twice as much the number of processor cores. And another: the new version of the top Qualcomm platform practically did not bring an increase in productivity, although this microscopic advantage allowed it to gain an even stronger foothold on the podium as the undisputed leader among platforms for mobile devices iv. Let's just say that the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 platform is currently one of the most powerful smartphones on the planet.

When tested in 3DMark for the most productive smartphones, it is now possible to run the program in Unlimited mode, while the rendering speed is fixed at 720p and VSync is enabled (through which the speed can go up to 60 fps ).

Results of testing the graphics subsystem in the Epic Citadel gaming test, as well as Basemark X and Bonsai Benchmark:

The installation of the Mali-450MP4 video system in the robot is still noticeable: this video enhancer shows approximately 47 fps in these test modes, in which the Adreno 330 shows 60 fps.

Browser cross-platform tests:

Since there are no benchmarks for assessing the speed of the javascript engine, you should always pay attention to the fact that the results in them are completely dependent on the browser in which they are launched, so that the comparison can be correct only in new operating systems and browsers. feasibility is not tested when tested first For Android users, we must always use Google Chrome.

Created video

To test the “university” of the created video (including support for different codecs, containers and special capabilities, such as subtitles), we have selected the widest possible formats, which will form the bulk of the content that is included in i. Please note that for mobile devices it is important to support hardware decoding of video clips on the same chip, since it is often impossible to obtain current options for devices without processor cores. It’s also not possible to decode everything from a mobile device, since the leadership in flexibility lies with the PC, and no one is going to disgrace it.

Video playback on the Samsung Galaxy S5 is not as smooth as we would like. Unfortunately, this is one of the rare smartphones in which the popular MX programmer is likely to run with a Hardware+ decoder, and most often this option changes the position if the standard programmer cannot play the audio Izhku file. So, if you are using the Samsung Galaxy S5, in order to properly play three in five of our test files (MKV), you will need to use a software decoder (at a minimum, for audio and video decoding, which can be decoded in hardware) - neither the hardware nor the hardware + Of course, the decoder of the standard video player does not produce programs that extend between file types and sound. And this is an obvious shortcoming, and even before us is a solution with a great and clear screen that is consistent with all parameters and maximum productivity, which could become a miraculous multimedia assistant. Before speaking, similar problems occur with the Galaxy Note 3 - we suspect that with the release of the update for MX Player the situation will change. Before speaking, for top-end smartphones LG and Sony, this table is always in the same order, so they can use powerful hardware to program all files, not to mention supporting all MX program modes.

Format	Container, video, sound	MX Video Player	Standard video player
DVDRip	AVI, XviD 720×400 2200 Kbit/s, MP3+AC3	pretends to be normal	pretends to be normal
Web-DL SD	AVI, XviD 720×400 1400 Kbit/s, MP3+AC3	pretends to be normal	pretends to be normal
Web-DL HD	MKV, H.264 1280×720 3000 Kbps, AC3
BDRip 720p	MKV, H.264 1280×720 4000 Kbps, AC3	appears normally, the sound is less with a software decoder (Hardware+ is not supported)	The video appears normally, there is no sound
BDRip 1080p	MKV, H.264 1920×1080 8000 Kbps, AC3	appears normally, the sound is less with a software decoder (Hardware+ is not supported)	The video appears normally, there is no sound

¹ the sound of MX Video Player was only released after mixing in the decoding program (mode Hardware+ is not supported); The standard player does not have such adjustments

The MHL interface has been additionally tested. For our testing, we used an LG IPS237L monitor, which supports direct MHL connection using a passive adapter cable from Micro-USB to HDMI. It is clear that Samsung physically implemented its different interface. As a result, to connect to an external MHL device, you need to use special adapters or connect standard MHL adapters through simple passive adapters. In this case, the tests were carried out using an additional Samsung branded adapter, with which the MHL system ran at a resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels at a frequency of 60 frames/s.

When the smartphone is in portrait orientation, the image displayed on the monitor screen is also in portrait orientation, in which the image on the monitor is inscribed in the height of the screen, and right-handed and left-handed are displayed wide fields. In this case, there is actually a separate view on the monitor screen, obviously, a lower, lower view on the smartphone screen. When the smartphone is in landscape orientation, the image displayed on the monitor screen appears in landscape orientation, in which the image on the monitor fits within the boundaries of the screen and exactly matches the image on the smartphone screen. Vinyatok is the start screen, which is usually displayed in portrait orientation:

Sound via MHL is output (in case the sounds are clear through headphones connected to the monitor, while there is no sound on the monitor itself) and has good clarity. In this case, multimedia sounds are not output through the smartphone, and the volume is adjusted using buttons on the smartphone body. In principle, in the settings of your smartphone, you can select the sound output mode - stereo or surround. However, in our case, the monitor received only stereo sound, so there was no choice. With MHL connections, the smartphone is charged.

To test the display of video images on the screen of the device itself, we used a set of test files with an arrow and a rectangle that move one section per frame (chapter “Method of testing devices for creating and displaying a video signal. In version 1 (for mobile devices) "). Taking pictures of the screen with a 1 second window helped to determine the nature of the display of frames of video files with different parameters: the separate content was varied (1280 by 720 (720p), 1920 by 1080 (1080p) and 3840 by 2 160 (4K) pixels 2, 4, frequency 30, 50 ta 60 fps). In our tests, we used the MX Player video player in the “Hardware” mode, since there were a lot of artifacts in the “Hardware+” mode. The results of this test (the block under the name “Smartphone Screen”) are summarized in the table:

Note: In both cases Evennessі Crossroads green ratings are given, which means that, most of all, when watching films, artifacts appear due to uneven writing and skipping frames, or they will not be visible at all, or their volume and visibility Let’s take a look at the comfort. The red icons indicate possible problems associated with the created files.

According to the frame display criterion, the number of video files created on the screen of the smartphone itself is high, so frames (or groups of frames) can be displayed with more or less equal intervals and frame skipping є. The smartphone can display files from separate 4K content up to 30p inclusive. However, the smooth drawing of frames is clearly unstable, since external and internal background processes lead to periodic failure of the correct drawing of intervals between frames. When creating video files with a separate 1920 x 1080 (1080p) image on the smartphone screen, the images of the video file will be displayed exactly between the screens, one to one in pixels, so that the output data (adjusted for the specificity of PenTile). The range of brightness that is displayed on the screen actually corresponds to the standard range of 16-235 - in the shadows of all shades there is a black color, while in the lights all gradations are displayed ї відтінків. However, the dark scenes may not look very good, and the darker shades need to be considered for their brightness and color tone, which can lead to the overwhelming appearance of compression artifacts.

When connecting via MHL to a monitor, when the video is created by a standard player, the images of the video file are displayed in landscape orientation, in which the image of the video file is displayed on the monitor, and the image of the video file is displayed on the smartphone screen Information elements and virtual controls.

The results of the monitor display tests are shown in the table in the “MHL (monitor display)” block. The taste is really good. When creating video files from a separate Full HD (1920 by 1080 pixels) image on the monitor screen, the video file will be displayed exactly between the screens, maintaining the same proportions, and The high quality of the production is consistent with the separate Full HD content. The range of brightness that is displayed on the monitor is higher than the standard range of 16-235, so that all gradations of tints are displayed in shadows and highlights.

A typical update: MHL connections can be used for gaming, watching movies, viewing web pages and other types of activities that benefit from a large increase in screen size. Actually, you will have to get an adapter for Samsung or find a suitable adapter.

Hour of autonomous robot

The lithium-ion battery installed in the Samsung Galaxy S5 has an incredible capacity by today's standards, but not a record capacity of 2800 mA per year. Apparently, in terms of the triviality of the autonomous robot, the device showed even worse results that we traditionally compiled into a level table.

	Battery capacity	Reading mode	Video mode	3D gaming mode
Samsung Galaxy S5	2800 mA year	17 year old 20 m.	12 year old 30 m.	4 year 30 m.

Continuous reading with the FBReader program (with a standard, light theme) for a minimum comfortable level of brightness (brightness was set to 100 cd/m²) it takes more than 17 years for the battery to fully discharge, and with continuous viewing YouTube video at high rank (HQ ) with the same level of brightness, through the home Wi-Fi network, the device was wiped for 12.5 years, in 3D-igor mode, the smartphone was wiped for 4.5 years for such a screen, and with such stability it was really pleasing: this successor of the Galaxy S4 is now seriously overheating all and everything It’s bad to cope with tests, and as soon as the firmware was updated, the situation returned to normal. With the new flagship, no problems have been identified in this plan until the start of sales, and to be honest, the device is much smaller than its predecessor.

Pouch

Taking a look at the Samsung Galaxy S5 is both easy and convenient. It’s easy, because perhaps no one needs to explain why the flagship smartphones of the Korean company deserve to be among the best on the market. And they see not only the achievement of top technical characteristics and maximum productivity, there is even more. It seems to us that the company is one of the poor ones that can’t afford to keep an eye on the money-makers. For the majority of traders, they will no longer be deprived of the unforgettable pretentious slogans, and in practice, no matter how much the prostitutes cry about it, the stench will not be removed. And the Koreans have a completely different point of view from their drive, they want to satisfy any desired buyers. Are you running out of battery? - Take it off. Do you need a memory card slot? - But for God’s sake, we’re not in harm’s way! Raptom fell in love with the golden color? — We now have a golden smartphone. And with such simple actions, together with good quality products and great production commitments, the Korean company managed to climb to the very top of the mountain, growing rich in riches, and some simply throwing them off the rocks. Sees the one who can stick together, and the Koreans come out the best.

As we look back at the hero today, we can proudly say that he has become the best seller of the flagship line. A large screen, a heavy-duty filling, extensive technical equipment, top-notch autonomous operation and maximum functionality, as well as a number of features added to the heart rate monitor and data scanner kit - all deserve praise. I want, Varto to vanish, in the P'yathy Galaxy S did not know the Bagato Rumor innovation, the Shcho can be bored with the right to name the absolutely new model, in the plan, the design of I call it for sure (in the TSOOMA, to the speech, it became a speech. West:) the smartphone has become important, bigger, rude - everyone knows it). It’s surprising that the Koreans didn’t call this model the Galaxy S4s - the same thing that has already become popularly known as a “letter modifier”, which means a colored version of the model, which would be pre-literary here. It's not enough to be bent all the time.

And what really pushes you is that Samsung jacks up prices for its top smartphones. It seems that the Koreans will no longer realize that prices can be varied in any way - they went with the previous flagship to the 30,000th mark and now put the same price tag on all upcoming models, as it goes without saying ile. The cunning thought in the minds of entrepreneurs is obviously this: “They will complain first, but in the future they will be happy because they haven’t raised the price yet.” So, before the speech, it happened: now the buyers are already happy that the price of the new flagship at the start of sales was not raised more than the previous one. This is very alarming, and especially against this backdrop, it is difficult to recommend such a device before purchasing: it’s really good, but for the rich, Samsung products may now turn out to be overwhelming. Did you think five times about what we say in the future about the growth of this Korean company?

Mobile borders

A mobile network is a radio system that allows mobile devices to communicate with each other without the presence of a person.

GSM GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) has been split up to replace the analog mobile network (1G). Therefore, GSM is often called the 2G mobile network. It is enhanced by GPRS (General Packet Radio Services), and later EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) technology.	GSM 850 MHz GSM 900 MHz GSM 1800 MHz GSM 1900 MHz
CDMA CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access) is a channel-based access method for communications in mobile networks. Complied with other 2G and 2.5G standards, such as GSM and TDMA, it provides higher data transfer speeds and the ability to connect with a larger number of people in the same hour.	CDMA 800 MHz (SM-G9009D)
TD-SCDMA TD-SCDMA (Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access) is a 3G standard for mobile networks. This is called UTRA/UMTS-TDD LCR. It is developed as an alternative to the W-CDMA standard in China by the Chinese Academy of Telecommunications Technology, Datang Telecom and Siemens. TD-SCDMA combines TDMA and CDMA.	TD-SCDMA 1880-1920 MHz (SM-G9008V) TD-SCDMA 2010-2025 MHz (SM-G9008V)
UMTS UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. It is based on the GSM standard and supports 3G mobile networks. The expansion of 3GPP has the greatest advantage of providing greater flexibility and spectral efficiency to W-CDMA technology.	UMTS 850 MHz (SM-G9006V; SM-G9009D) UMTS 1900 MHz (SM-G9006V; SM-G9009D) UMTS 2100 MHz (SM-G9006V; SM-G9009D) UMTS 900 MHz (SM-G9006V)
LTE LTE (Long Term Evolution) is defined as a fourth generation technology (4G). It has been divided into 3GPP based on GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA in order to increase the capacity and flexibility of drone-free mobile communications. A further development of technology is called LTE Advanced.

Level 0 cache (L0) Each processor has L0 (level 0) cache memory, access to some is lower, lower to L1, L2, L3, etc. The benefit of having such a memory is not a loss of productivity, but a reduction in energy consumption.	4 kB + 4 kB (kilobytes)
First level cache memory (L1) The cache memory is vicorized by the processor to speed up the hour of access to data and inserts that are often vicorized. L1 (Rank 1) cache memory is used in small amounts and operates richer than both system memory and other cache memory levels. If the processor does not detect data that is loaded into L1, it will continue to search for it in L2 cache memory. With any processors, this sound occurs simultaneously in L1 and L2.	16 kB + 16 kB (kilobytes)
Cache memory of another level (L2) L2 (Revenge 2) cache memory is larger than L1, but it is combined with a large capacity, which allows caching of a larger amount of data. That being said, L1 is richer in system memory (RAM). If the processor does not detect data to be loaded into L2, it will continue to search for it in L3 cache memory (as it is obvious) or in RAM memory.	2048 kB (kilobytes) 2 MB (megabytes)
Number of processor cores The processor core writes program inserts. There are processors with one, two or more cores. The presence of a larger number of cores increases productivity, allowing for the parallel execution of rich instructions.	4

Main camera

The main camera of the mobile device is located on the back of the body and is used for photography and video recording.

Sensor model	Samsung S5K2P2XX
Sensor type Digital cameras use photo sensors for photography. The sensor, as well as the optics, are one of the main factors in the strength of the camera in a mobile device.	ISOCELL
Sensor size Information about the size of the photo sensor that is installed in the device. Request cameras with a larger sensor and lower pixel density to produce higher image luminosity, regardless of lower image quality.	5.95 x 3.35 mm (millimeters) 0.27 in (inches)
Pixel size A smaller pixel size allows for more pixels per unit area, thus increasing the permissible size. On the other hand, a smaller pixel size can negatively impact image brightness at high ISO levels.	1.12 µm (micrometers) 0.00112 mm (millimeter)
Crop factor The crop factor is a correlation between the dimensions of the full-frame sensor (36 x 24 mm, equivalent to the frame of a standard 35 mm film) and the dimensions of the device’s photosensor. The assigned number corresponds to the diagonals of the full-frame sensor (43.3 mm) and the photo sensor of a particular device.	6.34
ISO (light sensitivity) ISO readings indicate the level of light sensitivity of the photo sensor. A lower reading means weaker light sensitivity, and higher readings mean higher light sensitivity, i.e., it reduces the performance of the sensor to account for low light sensitivity.	100 - 2000
Aperture Aperture (f-number) is the size of the aperture opening, which controls the amount of light that reaches the photo sensor. A lower f-number means the aperture opening is larger.	f/2.2
Vitrimka The window (exposure hour) indicates the hour at which the camera shutter is open during the shooting process. The longer the light is, the more light reaches the photo sensor. The display is displayed in seconds (for example, 5, 2, 1) or parts of a second (for example, 1/2, 1/8, 1/8000).	1/14 - 1/10000

Galaxy S5, which has removed the rest of its technical advances. It looks like it could become the most popular smartphone, for which it means everything. There was a lot of speculation that the company’s new flagship, aligned with the S4, would make great strides forward. And so let’s take a look at the Samsung Galaxy S5.

From the outside, the smartphone looks more straightforward, closer to the Note 3 than the Galaxy S4. Samsung Galaxy S5 is 6 mm longer and 3 mm wider than S4 and 15 g wider. more. The smartphone case is waterproof and certified to the IP67 standard, which means that the phone can be completely enclosed in water and is absolutely fireproof. The security phone scanner allows you to press your finger onto the buttons under the screen and increase the sensor’s sensitivity. The sensor can also be used to safely enter any app on your smartphone, and not just to enter the main menu of the phone. There is a sensor on the back that measures your heart rate.

The material of the body, without changing, has also become plastic, but the texture is good, so it’s easy to handle. Also, the smartphone uses an IR infrared port, with the help of which you can connect all devices to the booth, so that you have one remote control. The phone has a compass, gyroscope, accelerometer and barometer.

Smartphone size: 142 x 72.5 x 8.1mm, 145 g

Position

There is a parity situation on the vinyl market - de facto, the market is divided between two companies, Apple and Samsung. The skin company has its own flagship, for Apple it is actually a single product - the iPhone, from older models or the iPhone 5c, which, having appeared in 2013, may not be taken. For Samsung, the range of products is much larger, but the main focus falls on the Galaxy S, its top-selling phone that will compete with the iPhone. In 2013, the sales growth of the Galaxy S4 suddenly reached the level of the iPhone 5, in some countries the stinks were transferred to the iPhone for several months, and then a new model came out, and everything returned to normal. Samsung rightly respects that the Galaxy S4 has become a successful product, although dreams about its sales being outpaced by those for the iPhone have not become reality. Moreover, the potential of this device is very high, until today there are versions of it that live on the market, at least, yet again. And here Samsung fell into exactly the same pasture as Apple before them - the latest models began to look more attractive, less new. I guess that with the release of the iPhone 5 and the new version of iOS 7, a lot of people reluctantly began to buy the iPhone 4s, since the design of this device and its characteristics turned out to be superior. There was no difference like the size of the screen, but there were no significant differences either. This became a priority for Apple, since the old model, which was popular after the release of the new one, did not become a niche product, but took up up to half of sales.

For Samsung, the Apple model is not quite suitable, it is difficult to draw direct parallels - so after the release of S4, S3 sales lost high and prominent, but there were products of different price classes. Under Apple's leadership, Samsung's flagships are steadily becoming cheaper over time, with the real waste of the first price becoming 33 hundreds. Apple will not be able to handle the situation; the companies are in different positions. We can honestly say that the Galaxy S5 tried to save all the benefits of the previous device, and also not become a competitor to the Note 3, plus save sales of all S4 variants. Regardless of all public statements and plans for sale, we can safely say that the Galaxy S5, regardless of its flagship status, does not play such a role for Samsung. It is possible that this is connected with the release of an older version of the device, which is evident from the company, or the release of Note 4 in the spring, which step-by-step focus will shift. Incredibly, the sales figures for this model will be, at a minimum, on par with the S4, perhaps 10-15 hundredths higher. In addition to sales, there are cheaper versions of S4, the rate is divided on them, as well as on the Note line. This has happened for the first time and looks like a decision has been made that will result in all the characteristics of the flagship.

For the first time in the Galaxy S5, the technical characteristics do not exceed those for the Note line model, in our case the Note 3. Formally, we can talk about a better camera, but it does not offer various functions such as photography, the processor is about the same productivity, memory i, including operational , smaller than S5. These are clearly products of a different class, and the Note 3 looks even more impressive compared to the S5; it has clearly been given a new lease of life with this announcement.

For the buyer, this means that buying a Galaxy S5 is not at all as attractive as one might think at first glance, since its alternatives look both attractive and costly. In one case, the Galaxy S4, in the other - the Note 3. However, there are no good reasons for choosing the S5 itself over these devices - all these reasons are insignificant, and its totality for the most part will not be a factor that matters. Although it is possible that many people will change their phones due to inertia, this group of buyers is deprived of an invariable fate. As an unclear factor, the term for the release of the new iPhone is lost, since there will be an influx, which will affect the choice of rich people. It is also obvious that by increasing the size of the screen, Apple is eliminating one of the most serious complaints that existed before these smartphones. These factors, incredibly, will influence the sales of S5 and your choice.

A lot of software features from the Galaxy S5 may not be available on previous models, not because of the possibility of their implementation, but for purely marketing reasons, it is necessary to show the excellence in the devices, to attract respect for the new product.

Please note that you can change the power supply from Galaxy S4 to S5. Such a replacement will be accepted (a better device, a better camera, and different chips), unless you notice any special difference. I want to sing a lot of sense. And the replacement of Note 3 with Galaxy S5, as for me, is definitely spared no matter what, this is a product of a different class. Meanwhile, let's marvel at those like S5.

Design, dimensions, core elements

Samsung insists on not experimenting with the design of its devices, but it remains unchanged. Testing the Galaxy S4 Black and S5 for an hour at work, I spent the entire hour lost in the phones in front of me. It may be impossible to see them on the front panel at a glance. You will find it much better to look at the pictures, but in real life the smells are completely similar - there are three different sizes that do not match the same.

Phone size – 142x72.5x8.1 mm, size – 145 grams. Let me guess that the S4 has boule parameters of 136.6x69.8x7.9 mm, 130 grams. Little bits wider, little bits wider. In Russia, the difference is not at all noticeable, just the same grip - it can easily fit into any kind of casserole.

Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy S4

The designers focused on the back of the device - there is a structure under the skin with evenly spaced dots applied to the surface. 4 different color solutions are presented from the beginning.

Two reasons for this is the X-Drago Dash Dot case, which is also the new design, which is how the back panel of the S5 looks.

I can’t guess what would happen if the dealer copied someone else’s case when building his flagship. This is another indication of this crisis of ideas that are on the market - they themselves are deciding to survive the hopeless companies.

It looks amazing from the back of the lid, there are some oily bits, otherwise it’s stained with some kind of crack. If you hold the device in your hands, your fingers begin to sweat on this part (it is possible that this is an individual reaction of the body, but it is also due to the fact that they have put food on their attention).

Another characteristic of rice is that it is necessary to tightly close the lid of the charging socket, it appears after skin charging. There are no sensors here, just a good eye that will guess that you opened the plug to charge the device. Also, after opening the housing, you are asked to check its tightness.

On the left side surface there is a paired pressure adjustment button, on the right there is a softening/wetting button. At the top end there are 3.5 jacks for headphones, right-handed (on the S4 left-handed and with another microphone), this is designed so that when the headphones are turned on, the microphone is not blocked. The IC port is located there at the end.

Samsung Galaxy S5 and Apple iPhone 5S

Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Above the screen you can install a 2-megapixel front camera, as well as a proximity sensor. There is a physical key under the screen next to two touch buttons - everything is unchanged here, except for the fact that the designated key has changed exactly as it was designed in KitKat.

Display

Perhaps, most disappointingly, Samsung decided not to increase the separate size of the screen for its flagship, but only slightly increase the diagonal - now 5.1 inches with a separate size of 1080x1920 pixels in (432 specks per inch, in S4 - 441 specks per inch). It is impossible to zoom in on the pixels of the screen; the separateness of the human eye does not allow it. For non-humans, there is no distortion and no pixelation on your device. The SuperAMOLED screen type displays up to 16 million colors.

One of the most popular criticisms is that Super AMOLED screens are too bright, full of color and unnatural. When setting up your screen, you can choose any display option, including the typical one for screens of other manufacturers (dark, natural colors). It’s cool that in other video screens you see the maximum possible, and it’s impossible to make them brighter, more contrasting, and more intense in color. Samsung has the maximum flexibility of customization.

Just like the S4, there is an “Optimize display” option. This is the most important adjustment, because the device analyzes the level of lighting around and, depending on the mind, sets contrast, brightness, and adjusts colors on the screen. To come up with such a white color looks like a white color that suits all minds. Another adjustment is “Professional Photography” (previously called Adobe RGB), although it may not affect the image brightness of the image, it remains clearly unchanged from other adjustments (not to be noted).

In the sun, the screen looks wonderful, there are no problems, the reading progressed a little, but this is due to the change in the screen itself, which I would like to say clearly. So, having first tested an hour of video playback on the maximum illuminated screen on my device S4 Black Edition, I appreciated the light color on the S5, the picture looked much brighter. This is an obvious step back.

Having played with the adjustments, you have discovered that there is something wrong with the picture - the brightness of the picture is clearly and completely equal from the S4 with automatic switching (adjustment for adjustments), but if you try to turn the brightness up, it will immediately lead to negative effects Edkiv. Also, the nature of the Adaptive Display robot is such that it is oriented towards energy saving mode and colors are muted. To view images like on the S4, you can select one of the other display modes.

With clarity, everything has become clear in the sun, with automatic regulation, it spins up in their own minds, reading in direct sleep light increases sharply. Wanting special treatment in Moscow with this very Note 3, I couldn’t mention it (Samsung Galaxy S5 in photos of the beast).

I can't help but feel that the setup is geared towards the benefit of a scenario in which people want brighter, muted colors and average backlighting - plus, they don't want to save battery life. You are welcome to select the parameters for yourself.

The first axis of photographs is the alignment of the screen from S4. I would guess that the screen of the S4 is missing the largest on the market, while looking at the S4 there was a great level of displays, but the situation has not changed at all.

Level of Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S5 below:

Comparison with Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S5:

Finger scanner

The function to finish clicking appeared in response to the iPhone 5s fingerprint scanner, where you need to put your finger on the button. As implemented by Apple, the S5 requires you to simply swipe across the center of the screen and press the center key. With settings you can register up to 3 bits, swipe with one hand, touching the phone, not even manually. If you might be cunning, you’ll get away with it, but if you don’t get away with it, you won’t have two hands. Apple only has one hand - and the device itself is smaller.

Most of the time, the scanner works normally, which means the security alert is activated and the phone is unlocked. During the hour of operation, several times I was informed about the surfaces of the vologi- cal apparatus that I needed to wipe. Perhaps a sensor is involved here, which is already in S4 and monitors excessive temperature and humidity.

It’s especially difficult to say about the scanner, everything works and there are no complaints.

Battery and energy saving modes

The phone has a Li-Ion battery with a capacity of 2800 mAg (the S4 has 2600 mAg), the battery allows the device to work for up to 390 years in cleanup mode, up to 21 years in sleep mode, and up to 10 years for watching videos nearby to 45 years of listening to music . In reality, the results are inconsistent, but we all know that in practice most Android smartphones do not last that long and show completely different results.

Before we talk about the operating time of the device, I’ll remind you that only the S5 version is currently on the market, powered by a Qualcomm chipset, the Exynos version will be later - there will only be talk about this version of the phone. It is not your fault if you have any special problems.

Samsung Galaxy S4 and Samsung Galaxy S5

So, the easiest way was to take the same FullHD video from X.264 and marvel at how long it would take to run the Galaxy S4 (taking the Black Edition from Qualcomm). Video creation program – MX Player, without hardware decoding. The result with maximum screen brightness, low volume sound and typical off-line operation is about 9.5 years.

For most current smartphones, this is an unattainable result, so MTK devices can play a similar video for about 4-5 years (with battery capacity). Testing the S5 revealed a great moment - the device lasted for about 12 40 years. Unfortunately, during the hour of programming once in the main menu, he had to run the program again - but the incident is minimal, which can not be corrected, after an hour of work, the screen can be seen how the video has been spinning for a long time.

How many people are interested in “bare” numbers, but how often do we see non-stop video and not use other functions? Actually, infrequently, even the telephone is a universal harvester, which has all its capabilities in a practical way. Therefore, you need to evaluate how the battery drains and how long the phone can last. Here we can talk about the fact that the S5 does not differ much from the S4, the working hours are equal - with an important device, it will sit until about lunchtime (3-4 years of work on the screen and a couple of GB of data). With not too much use you can live until the evening. Unfortunately, I was not able to mention any special features of the S4, the device will definitely play against the same Note 3, which is currently deprived of energy by the record holder and calmly lives out until the end of the day for any profile of the victor.

However, when we adjusted the phone to power saving modes, we added two more, and also disabled the power button for them. Є primary energy-saving mode, in which you can limit the background work of the program, reduce gray colors for the screen (for AMOLED this is a trick - gray colors may not save energy). Moreover, in such a game you can practically work through it, and be amazed at the video - but it will be a gray color, which is not necessary either manually or not.

I was amazed that it was possible to live a whole day with such an energy-supplying regime. I calmly walked away, you can say that the device will last for two days, but it won’t bring you any satisfaction. It is unlikely that there will be people who would like to remove the screen from such a color scheme. There is also another difference - Whatsapp has other programs that prevent background communications, the robot starts working, and you stop receiving notifications. For social networks, as Samsung knows about the SNS program, as well as access permissions denied on the phone (Facebook, Instagram, 4square, Twitter), you deny push notifications to the Samsung service. This energy saving mode also has a software feature - instead of push notifications for different services/programs, you need to use only one at a time. It is not possible to adjust this interval; all settings are received from the user. Watch the graphs of your phone in this mode.

This saving mode is good if you have a low battery and do not need all the functions of the phone. Then, on a 10-volt charge, you can live for almost two years, practically without any delay. Two years is more active than a device, but you can live much longer with a boiler.

In early firmware of the device, the widget starts the energy saving mode, showing the approximate hour of operation in two modes - the initial one and the maximum one. Before the commercial version, the first mode was removed, it can be activated from the menu, otherwise it is not possible to work for more hours.

The maximum energy saving mode reduces almost everything; at 35 watts of battery charge, the phone can be used in the cooling mode for at least 4 days. Ale, it’s crazy, everything should lie down because you’re in trouble with him. The system also turns on, and if all communications are switched off, the list of running programs is limited to only those that you have allowed, and all background processes are stopped. This procedure has been completely reworked, since a lot of system functions are enabled, you won’t be able to take a screenshot in this mode, a lot of the required options will be unavailable (otherwise you won’t need it).

This mode is similar to the fact that if the battery runs out, after activating this mode in one minute, you can calmly live until the evening - SMS and voice will be available to you.

At the end of the day, we can get by with standard and unpretentious Android, which, however, works just as well as the iPhone 5s on the same tasks. In order to avoid unnecessary superstitions and battles, I want to say that each of us has our own set of accessories, work profile, brightness, etc. The phone that one person uses for two days, another uses until lunchtime. That’s why it’s not good to schedule the work of your devices, you don’t have to say anything at all, you need to update your devices immediately, with all the same concerns. For the S5, you are focused on the day-to-day work with the assurance that you will benefit from other energy-saving features, but everyone is satisfied with this device.

Camera

The dedication chamber is a rich material in which you can find out everything that is possible about it.

Hardware platform, memory, productivity

The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8974AC chipset, also called the Snapdragon 801. This is Qualcomm's most advanced chipset at the moment, and the previous version of the MSM8974AB was used in devices such as the LG G2. Four-core processor, maximum frequency 2.45 GHz, graphics processor with frequency 578 MHz (previously 450 MHz). The frequency of the LPDDR3 memory bus has also been increased - from 800 to 933 MHz. There are many ways in which this itself gives an increase in productivity.

The amount of RAM is 2 GB (after the other half is used), storage memory is 16 GB (there is a 32 GB version, which is unlikely to be widely available on the market). The amount of memory occupied by programs is approximately 4 GB. Memory card – up to 64 GB.

In synthetic tests, the device shows outstanding results, outperforming the Note 3 itself, regardless of the lower amount of RAM.

Before the advent of commercial firmware, productivity was low when using Note 3 devices. Alas, these are synthetic doughs that will excite lovers of virtual parrots. There are still a lot of tests for them.

In most everyday life, the work force is administrable. The interface is very cool, slick. Those who are able to use hypnotic treatment should use them through – and at the same time one of the most popular devices. There are no significant differences with the iPhone 5s.

USB, Bluetooth, communication capabilities

Bluetooth. Bluetooth version 4.0 (LE). When transferring files to other devices using this technology, Wi-Fi 802.11 n is used, and the theoretical transfer speed is close to 24 Mbit/s. Testing the transfer of a 1 GB file showed a maximum speed of approximately 12 Mbit/s, no more than three meters between devices.

The model supports various profiles, Headset, Handsfree, Serial Port, Dial Up Networking, File Transfer, Object Push, Basic Printing, SIM Access, A2DP. Working with headsets does not call for food, everything is business as usual.

USB connection. In Android 4, for some reason, they switched to USB Mass Storage mode and removed MTP (also PTP).

USB version – 3, transmission speed – close to 50 Mb/s.

When a USB device is connected, the device charges.

The microUSB connector also supports the MHL standard, which means that using a special cable (available in electronics stores), you can connect the phone to the TV (to the HDMI output). In fact, the standard describes the ability to connect via microUSB to HDMI. This solution looks nicer, with less miniHDMI connector on the case.

The maximum LTE data transmission speed is 150 Mbit/s.

WiFi. It supports the 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac standard, which is similar to Bluetooth. You can memorize the selected routes and automatically connect to them. It is possible to set up a connection to the router in one click, for which you need to press a key on the router, as well as activate a similar button in the device menu (WPA SecureEasySetup). With additional options, you can select the setup master, who appears when the signal is weak or knows. You can also configure the robot’s Wi-Fi behind the drawer.

Also, the 802.11 n standard supports the HT40 robot mode, which allows you to increase the throughput of the Wi-Fi network (support for another device is required).

Wi-Fi Direct. A protocol that may replace Bluetooth or begin to compete with its third version (it also victorious Wi-Fi version n for transferring large files). In the Wi-Fi setup menu, select the Wi-Fi Direct section, and the phone begins searching for the device. We select the required device, activate it on the new connection and voila. Now you can use the file manager to view files on another device, and also enhance them. Another option is to simply find the devices connected to your router, and transfer the required files to them, which can be generated from the gallery or other sections of the phone. Please make sure your devices support Wi-Fi Direct.

NFC. The device has NFC technology and can be used with various additional programs.

S Beam. A technology that allows you to transfer a file of one gigabyte in size to another phone in just a few minutes. In fact, the S Beam has a combination of two technologies – NFC and Wi-Fi Direct. The first technology is being used to provide and authorize phones, and the other technology is being used to transfer the files themselves. The creative way to use Wi-Fi Direct is much simpler, it allows you to connect on two devices and select files.

IC port. Necessary for a vikoristan phone as a remote control with different everyday devices. Automatically configures practically for any model of equipment.

Software features – features and child mode, S Health

I will describe all the features of the new version of TouchWiz, installed programs and new features in a detailed and extensive material. This is shared with us, so as not to repeat here.

Galaxy S5 gives a lot of attention to new modes of operation for people with impaired hand coordination, hearing or vision disorders. Behind the set of options available are one of the latest models, including Apple technology. If you ask for an hour of testing, you skip this menu (it appears the first time you’re interested), and then you don’t go there. However, another non-trivial function appeared for him, that of a baby monitor. You can place the phone next to the child, and then you will catch his cry, and then use the camera to tell you about it. Since my children have already grown up, I couldn’t practically verify this function. The phone does not respond to the recordings of silent crying, and if you want to marvel at Murtazin, then marvel at the video below - this device also did not respond to my wife. This does not mean at all that the radio does not work, but it’s all over.

Pros:
Having achieved the design and functionality.

Disadvantages:
The battery is weak

Zagalne vrazhennya:
Signed on TV in 11 seconds. copies per share. Garniy apparatus, I am pleased. It’s too bad to trim the charge at once, so it’s not scary.

Disadvantages:
I can't smell it

Zagalne vrazhennya:
The phone is no older than 2 months old. In the process of divorce from various people, it became clear that less... don't smell it. Not immediately, but in a few seconds, sometimes it seems like I’m disappearing as soon as the sounds fade away. And so maybe with skin swelling, rarely, when you can have a normal conversation and so that you can continue to grow. You cannot use your phone for direct reasons. I went to the service and got in touch with a person who has the same model and can’t smell it anymore, having contacted the service 2 times, they wrote to Vidmova 2 times due to no problems being detected. I think this model itself has such a problem, and the stench cannot be removed.

Pros:
It's even tighter, the gap is small, it's thin, the screen is amazing.

Disadvantages:
Design (obviously not for the premium segment), padding, ... There are some problems with the camera (the model is sick), the battery may be low.

Zagalne vrazhennya:
And now, about everything in order: I don’t plan to get bogged down in numbers, because I know with certainty that the stink doesn’t mean anything to the cross-country koristuvache. I will explain it simply and easily. Well, let’s get it right: a smartphone is more important than everything. Absolutely. At maximum speed there are no glitches. (According to the Antutu test, it was ahead of my tablet-Tab Pro). The phone can easily be kept in your hand (except for the miniature girls). At first it seems to be inaudibly drawn to the other edge of the screen (5.1 inches), but then the sound starts to sound completely intersecting, and not “Never mind, I just bought such a spatula!” Mala vaga also sprouts. The screen deserves great praise: Super AMOLED and further comments. At maximum brightness, “it is impossible to look at the news” - Burning in HD, the luminaires on your desktop look as if they were alive!
And now to the minuses: I really confused the design, I wouldn’t have to overpay for the S6, especially since 25k for a meager difference is stupidity. (For the less noticeable increase in permission, +1GB of RAM (hare's heel) and "updates" Touch Wiz - does not result in paying a deposit of 500 dollars). Adjustment (doesn’t matter, just cover up) or, in general, don’t miss the picture. Besides, Shistka has a similar problem. By camera: does not focus on close objects (<10 см). Для кого-то это критично, для кого-то нет, но мне хватает и изрядных возможностей без макросъёмки.
And, finally, the final touch (or rather, the main minus): battery. The menu (I don’t play games, I set it only to check my productivity, I don’t watch movies, and I don’t like the phone number in two directions: call and write) goes down for one or two days. Super savings, of course, are true: at 3% I would have walked all day, but not for gray tones and six buttons, I bought such a phone. The previous "Nokia" on Windows Phone lasted 3-4 days.
Pіdsumovuyuchi: with a phone call of satisfaction. The glitches can be blamed on Android (I’ll never go back to iOS or Windows Phone), the drain on the screen (which, in fact, has a 5:6 battery) and you can go on sleeping!
