Galaxy S5 is Samsung MWC2014 on the launch of a new flagship handset, but because the fuselage shape, configuration and we expect a certain gap, many netizens are wide open "channel mode". And Galaxy S5 on April 11 for sale, what is the real experience of it? We come to experience it.
Out of the box and look
First is the simple out of the box, packing box style is still imitation wood-grain paper tray, but "wood grain" extra large "5" watermark
Back some of the technical specifications, special note, we got Hong Kong's version of Galaxy S5, the model is G900F
Opened the box the first layer is still mobile, and Samsung in the past as in the previous package, but we are familiar with black protective film becomes a transparent protective film
Second is parts of the box, the standard "three piece suit"-data cable, headphones, power adapters, and of course instruction is essential. Power adapter is the same as Galaxy Note 3 2 a of current, so that the line is definitely the highlight, did you see what the problem? Not found just down the ... ...
The frontal design continues the Galaxy Galaxy S5 S4 style, but obviously left and right border thicker a lot, handset parts and buttons at the bottom part and also a lot that is both waterproof and dustproof design compromises. You can see from this photo, Galaxy S5 's screen display white yellow have been much better than previous Super AMOLED screen
The receiver part of the design, you can still see the three "black spots", the left is the light sensor and a proximity sensor on the right front facing 2 million pixel camera, the "big head" design is a little bit could not bear to look directly at
"Chin" part relative Galaxy S4 for also is wide, still is Samsung classic of entity Home key, but left of touch control key has from menu into has more task management, long by is menu key, long by home key is search, on old user for need must time adapted, author think this is not a is good of select, or should provides user personalized defined press function will more good
Back cover design was the place where most Galaxy S5 is spit Groove, mainly on the back cover of the wave patterns, to make anti-slip effect, netizens have dubbed the band-aid ...
This ... Do you feel like?
This point of view is clear so that people have a phobia for dense cover design, because the screen is slightly increased thickening of the border, so the Galaxy will feel more than Galaxy S4 S5 "hold hands"
Camera part is a major attraction, in addition to cameras became more exaggerated in size and tough outside, below the camera increases the heart rate detector
Speakers in the lower left corner
Phone 3.5mm headphone jack at the top, noise-reducing microphone and infrared sensors, in addition we can find Qualcomm 4G sticker, this is because the Hong Kong version of Galaxy S5 uses Qualcomm's baseband
Is the USB3.0 interface, and call the speaker at the bottom, with the demands of design, so need plastic covers protect the USB interface, use a little inconvenience. In addition there is a very worthy of ridicule is, Hong Kong's version of the Galaxy is the S5 comes with a USB2.0 cable, it is difficult to understand, cost savings on the province to this really had to "black". And before the deadline for the Asia-Pacific version of the Galaxy the S5 has appeared on the market, and the Hong Kong version, also included USB2.0 cable, but three versions of "honest" to send the Galaxy Note 3 and USB3.0 cable
Open key on the right side of the fuselage, while observing the rear cover parts have an open slot, this layout and Galaxy S4, Galaxy as Note 3
Is the volume keys on the left side, here you can see Galaxy S5 "metal" border uses a three-layer design
Continued the fine tradition of Galaxy series, removable back cover and battery, more special is that this time the Galaxy S5 has a waterproof design, so waterproof aprons can be seen on the back cover, 2800mAh battery, with NFC capabilities
Waterproof of course is no ordinary life stress

Performance
Galaxy S5 used Gao Tongxiao 801 MSM8974AC 2.5GHz Dragon processor, is also first on the market to use the handset SoC, but 2G Ram memory is slightly disappointing, how about the performance? We take a look at:
See system hardware information by Tutu, highest CPU frequency 2.5GHz, ROM capacity available near 12G, than the previous generation of the early Galaxy S4 firmware is much better
On MSM8974AC of Adreno 330 frequency is 578MHz, and MSM8974AB are the same, and Galaxy S5 GPU driver is V66, version new
Boot memory available, at around 800M (the system does not have a streamlined case)
Next is a popular running link, 37000 points, although good, but also less than expected, excellent
3D graphics score 10000 points
PI, performance is not very good
Page Sunspider Javascript test, and 2.3GHz 800/mycophenolate mofetil mycophenolate mofetil Dragon Dragon 801 no distance
GBA emulator, test CPU burst performance, did very well at 170 frames (MSM8974AB below the 160 frames)
1080P 60FPS ref15 MP4 files software decoding, the average number of frames up to 50 frames, very good, can surpass its estimated high frequency Cortex-A15 only 1.9GHz
RAR compression tests, performance is also good, is 1212KB/s beyond Exynos 5410
GFXBench 3.0, and Xiao long 801 cell phone similar to normal
Overall, the Galaxy of S5 's performance was satisfactory, but in some tests and compared to MSM8974AA and MSM8974AB did not significantly improve. More testing and contrast we will again try to show in the detailed evaluation.
Photos
Galaxy S5 used new 1/2.5-inch sensor, reached 16 million pixels, the aperture of the lens also reached F/2.2, hardware generation better than many, the actual image? Come and see real proof:

The same scene, opening the HDR, improvement is still very significant.

Evening color, brightness, much higher than the actual environment, details quite satisfactory.
Night poor sharpness, noise, smudge is serious.
Galaxy S5 (high-throughput) than Galaxy Note 3 (dual quad core) version of the image quality are still elevated, according to established practice, Exynos version of the Samsung phone is better than high-throughput version of the photo, so we are looking forward to using the Exynos 5422 G900H photo.
