Samsung announced the fifth generation of the Galaxy S series, the Galaxy S5, which, the company claims, combines an advanced camera, the fast network connectivity, dedicated fitness tools and device protection features.

The Galaxy S5, successor to the Galaxy S4, features a perforated pattern on the back cover. It comes in four colours - charcoal Black, shimmery White, electric Blue and copper Gold.

The Galaxy S5 has a 5.1-inch FHD Super AMOLED (1920 x 1080) display. Powered by a 2.5GHz quad-core application processor and Android 4.4.2 KitKat, it comes packed with a 2800mAh battery. It has 2GB of RAM.

The phone comes in two variants - 16GB and 32GB. Both models allow users to expand memory up to 64GB. The phone weighs 145g.

The Galaxy S5 is dust and water resistant. It also offers a Finger Scanner, providing a secure, biometric screen locking feature and a seamless and safe mobile payment experience to consumers.

Its Ultra Power Saving Mode turns the display to black and white, and shuts down all unnecessary features to minimise the battery consumption.

The Galaxy S5 features a 16 megapixel rear camera. It is claimed to offer the world's fastest autofocus speed - up to 0.3 seconds. Its new Selective Focus feature allows users to focus on a specific area of an object while simultaneously blurring out the background. It has a 2.1 megapixel front camera.

The phone comes with the improved S Health 3.0, which, Samsung says, offers more tools to help people stay fit. Galaxy S5 users can further customise their experience with a third party app ecosystem and the ability to pair with next-generation Gear products for real-time fitness coaching.

The Galaxy S5 supports the fifth generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac and 2X2 MIMO, said Samsung.

Samsung's new Galaxy S5 will be available globally through Samsung's retail channels, e-commerce and carriers from April 11 in over 150 countries.
