How to choose a korean copy samsung galaxy
Of course, Galaxy is the best series of models of the world famous South Korean manufacturer. Before ordering a phone, it is worth spending a few minutes to study the characteristics. Pay attention to the following parameters:
- Processor clock frequency and number of cores. From this module Fine performance depends more.
- The volume of RAM and the built-in memory. RAM responsible for processing requests and storing files used in this moment applications, therefore, than its volume is more, the better.
- Assembly and materials used in the production process. In a good copy, they coincide with the original.
Why it is worth buying Korean Samsung with us
The price of any replica on our website is lower than the average indicator, and considering the provision of bonus with each purchase and the possibility of delivery to any city of Russia, it is safe to say that our store has no analogues.
So historically developed - just because Korea has recently become a developed and high-tech country, - that Samsung has always been in the role of a catching line, which of the grocery destinations neither take. And she always confessed the approach "Wrong and distinguish", and, as a rule, not so much in the sense of "we are better", how much is that "we have more." It is good or bad - the question is open, but this approach has always worked and eventually allowed Samsung to become one of the largest and most influential companies on the difficult and changeable market of high technology.
Koreans seem to themselves still abide on this occasion in confusion and do not fully understand what they do. Because one thing to be a successful and dynamic "number two", and quite another - trying to conduct the market, invent new ideas, to develop accommodation not existing directions and everything in such a spirit. It cannot be said that Samsung is not trying to do it, they are very trying very much. But so far with variable success: often the Korean faiths are very artificial.
Apparently, in Samsung decided to slow down slightly with the usual quantitative approach. Not that to refuse it completely - of course, in Galaxy S5 there is a number of "more", "above" and "more often" - but still an attempt has a serious work on mistakes: do not only "a lot", but also "OK".
⇡ Appearance and ergonomics
Design - Materia Slim. When we are talking about the products of the company that is diverted by millions of circulations - and it became obviously very much huge amount People, then everything is completely difficult. Here about the design you need to talk neatly: either good or nothing. Otherwise there is a darkness of the people indignant by the estimated judgments. So about the aesthetic component, sorry, this time we will just silent and focus on the facts. Facts are as follows: compared to Galaxy S4 new smartphone Acquired more square forms, got a rifer on a metallized rim, the rear panel is now decorated with a coating of the leatherette, and the dimensions have grown tangible. As a result, S5 looks more like Galaxy Note. 3 than on Galaxy S4. Is that instead of "stitching" on the back - "perforation".

Structurally S5 does not differ at all from all previous Samsung devices serious price category. Inside the magnesium frame, which plays the role of a durable and rigid frame, outside - exclusively plastic "body kit". Whether the plastic panels in S5 have become slightly thicker than in S4, whether the vibration insulation is enhanced, but the samsung characteristic of the housing is seriously declining the previous flagship. The case is still vibrating, if they knock on it, but it is already much less noticeable.
The main innovation of Galaxy S5 is the appearance of protection against moisture and dust. Koreans have already tried their strength in this genre, but earlier individual models of smartphones were created for experiments. In "ordinary", the "main" flagship Samsung uses this chip for the first time.

Water and dust protection is implemented by IP67 class. It did not cost without marketing tricks: in the view of a not-paid person, IP67 is obviously more and "better" than IP58, which declares for his flagships Sony. In fact, this is not at all like this: the fact is that the Ingress Protection rating (the same IP abbreviation) consists of two digits that do not depend on each other. The first figure speaks about dust and only about it - accordingly, in terms of water, the IP6X class is no better than IP5x.
The second distinctive feature of Galaxy S5 is the presence of fingerprint sensor. Like the Apple, the sensor is embedded in a single physical button on the front panel. But it works quite differently: the iPhone can be turned on with a button and holding the finger on it on the fragments of a second, unlock the smartphone. IN Samsung Galaxy S5 These actions are divided into two independent operations: you need to first turn on the smartphone, and then perform a sliding with a recorded finger from the label to the display to the sensor.
Fingerprint sensor is built into the "Home" button
The sensor works quite well - quite consistently recognizes the finger, even if they spend it under all sorts of unnatural angles, except that the legs do not work. But the process itself is arranged less convenient than Apple, and requires a little longer. However, even in this form it turns out much faster than with a password or a pattern from points. You can bind additional steps to the fingerprint sensor - right up to the authorization of transactions in PayPal.
"Loud" speaker in Samsung Galaxy S5 is only one, it is located behind. Sounds quite nice and very loud
However, it should be borne in mind that, as in the case of iPhone, the defense has already learned to bypass: for this, some actions should be taken, which are not entirely simple, but still not quantum mechanics. So it is worth minimizing the risk: not to tie to the "fingers" the most valuable and easily "monetizable" by the attackers of login-passwords like banking, as well as to use for identifying those fingers, good prints from which, most likely, will not remain on the front panel glass - the mother's or Unnamed.
The third unusual samsung galaxy S5 chip is a built-in pulse sensor. It is located in a small niche on the back side of the housing, the camera is placed in the same niche. The sensor is a pair of elements: a diode, a high-speed finger, and a simple chamber that reads the ripple.
Due to the protected design, the case has seriously grown. The display has increased cleanly formally - by 0.1 inches. So about some new level of comfort when working with a speech screen does not go, but it is necessary to reach behind the desired elements. Visually, Galaxy S5 does not impress the large apparatus - the form is very smoothed by dimensions - but in fact he almost caught up with Xperia Z1. And heavily overtook LG G2, equipped with a larger screen.
However, this is the trouble of most modern flagships: they are all too big. We are already accustomed to this: it has long been learned to stretch your fingers for such distances that it was earlier to imagine, and quickly intercept the tubes from a comfortable grip in such that it was easier to get a finger to the button.

⇡ Iron and Communication
In past years samsung flagships first appeared with their own Exynos processors and only then, due to the special wishes of American operators cellular communicationThere were versions on Qualcomm chips. The fracture occurred at the start of Galaxy Note 3: For this model, versions both on Exynos and Qualcomm Snapdragon were simultaneously announced.
For Galaxy S5 and the main version will become (or rather, the "version" - they are quite a lot for different markets) on American processors. Modifications on exynos also exist, but already as secondary-auxiliary, for some special markets, it is not clear for which it is for sale that they have not arrived. One way or another russian market At the moment, the SM-G900F version is relevant, equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor with the uncomplicated name of the MSM8974AC V3 model.

American chipmouseker at the beginning of this year made a fair confusion in his the lineup, Therefore, it makes sense to bring the table in which the differences between different SOC Qualcomm are indicated.
| Maximum frequency CPU | Maximum GPU frequency | ISP | eMMC. | Dual. SIM Dual. Active. | Memory interface | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Snapdragon 800. | ||||||
| MSM8974VV V2. | 2.2 GHz | 450mhz. | 320 MHz | 4.5 | Not | 800 MHz |
| MSM8974AA V2. | 2.3 GHz | 450mhz. | 321 MHz | 4.5 | Not | 800 MHz |
| MSM8974AB V2. | 2.3 GHz | 550mhz. | 322 MHz | 4.5 | Not | 933 MHz |
| Snapdragon 801. | ||||||
| MSM8974AA V3. | 2.3 GHz | 450mhz. | 323 MHz | 5.0 | Yes | 800 MHz |
| MSM8974AB V3. | 2.3 GHz | 578mhz. | 465 MHz | 5.0 | Yes | 933 MHz |
| MSM8974AC v3. | 2.5 GHz | 578mhz. | 465 MHz | 5.0 | Yes | 933 MHz |
So, MSM8974AC v3 is the most powerful of the existing Qualcomm chips currently. It is still quad-core and 32-bit - used Krait-400 architecture operating with ARMV7 instructions. But compared with the "ordinary" 800-m a new version Tangibly dispersed: Above the maximum frequency of both the computing cores themselves and the built-in graphics adapter processor, the chip can work with more fast memory, Even an ISP is overclocked - a block that is responsible for working with cameras.
In addition, the new versions of the Qualcomm flagship chips appeared support for the faster interface to connect the Flash memory EMMC 5.0, as well as supporting two SIM cards in Dual Sim Dual Active mode (DSDA). The latter, however, for our version of Galaxy S5 is not relevant - the SIM card in it is only one, micro format.
The amount of RAM has not changed compared to it in Galaxy S4 and is still 2 GB. The type of memory, apparently, the same as in Galaxy Note 3, - LPDDR3-1600. As for the flash drive, there are versions of both 16 GB of the built-in memory (about 12 GB are available) and with 32. Of course, MicroSD cards are supported, Samsung is preferred not to limit the user in the desire to expand the drive.

With a bond by and large, everything is still: the same MDM9x25 modem is embedded in Snapdragon 801 as in Snapdragon 800, which can work with any existing second and third generation networks, and also supports work in LTE networks. Category 4. Support faster LTE CAT networks. 6 (Recall, in Moscow, such a network already works within the Garden Ring) will have to wait until the next generation of the modem, MDM9x35. Moreover, at first, this modem will be external and only to the output of Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 will move to the SOC.
As for the RF part, it's more and more interesting: Samsung Galaxy S5 uses a new WTR1625L transceiver, equipped with the WFR1620 chip, which is an additional receiver and is intended to implement the carrier aggregation technology. Also in the Galaxy S5 there is a QFE1100 chip that is responsible for Envelope Tracking technology. All this additional equipment in theory allows you to increase the data transfer rate and reduce power consumption.
Microsimki and memory card connectors in Samsung Galaxy S5 are located "sandwich". A NFC antenna is built into battery
With a set of supported ranges, alas, everything is not so cool as I would like. Samsung prefers to distinguish between markets, including support for cellular networks. It is good for sellers on local markets, but not very nice for those who often travel and wishes to enjoy fast data transfer in any part of the world. SM-G900F - the European version of the apparatus, and in Europe, there will be no problems in Europe. However, for other regions, it is not so good for other regions: many people popular in the US 3G / 4G bands are not supported. Not to mention China.
Micro-USB 3.0 connector is hidden under a plug. Each time it will have to be charged for charging, the ability to connect the docking station is not provided, but you can purchase rear panel from wireless charging - Of course, for extra money
For wired connection The Micro USB 3.0 interface with MHL support is used. Wireless interfaces — full set: User service and two-range adapter Wi-Fi 802.11a / B / G / N / AC, and Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC. Still have an IR port - so the smartphone can work universal remote control remote control. Among other things, it can be useful if you want to rescue the volume of the TV in some public place.
The Qualcomm Izat Gen8B module is responsible for working with navigation satellite networks, the Qualcomm Izat Gen8B module is exactly the same as in Snapdragon 800. Recall, in addition to the standard gPS systems Both GLONASS, this module and already mentioned above the WTR1625L transceiver support also the Chinese Beidou. Moreover, Samsung Galaxy S5 became, it seems, the first "global" smartphone, for which the Beidou support is declared in official characteristics and is really implemented - on SGS5, we first managed to catch Chinese satellites.

The navigation works very quickly: even without access to the Galaxy S5 network, literally for counting seconds, there is a dozen satellites and confidently determines the coordinates. This is the fastest navigation smartphone that we had to see - the speed is just amazing.
Detailed testing of one of the most anticipated smartphones of the new season
Of course, one of the most long-awaited and expected innovations among mobile devices of the coming year should be considered another update flagship ruler sAMSUNG smartphones - Galaxy S5. In a special submission, the novelty does not need - in recent years, the Korean company Samsung Electronics managed not only to scandally glorify due to the countless number of litigation with competing American Apple, but also to take one of the leading places on the world market for the sale of tablets and, of course Smartphones.
From left to right: SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 3, GALAXY S5, GALAXY S4, Apple iPhone. 5s.
By the way, the Koreans in recent years have firmly taught users to think that Samsung always has two flagship smartphone at the same time. They are representatives of two moving parallel courses of top grocery lines - Galaxy Note and Galaxy S. Not so long ago, another update of the lineup of the tablet phones happened - the Samsung Note 3 smartphone was released on sale, about which we wrote so much at one time. Now it has come to update a series of smartphones with a more "civilized" design.
SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 and GALAXY S4

Smartphones galaxy series S Always differed very different from their halflant fellows from the Note line of the Note size - these were quite elegant in dimensions of the devices. However, S. galaxy output S5, it is necessary to recognize, the distance, the separating them, is reduced increasingly and stronger. Moreover, not only the sizes of each regular representative of the Galaxy S line are becoming more and more, but also in the Note line, they decrease consistently. Galaxy Note 3 became the smallest among his fellows, and Galaxy S5, on the contrary, gained such large dimensions that it would already be difficult to think about: what is actually the difference between the modern representatives of two lyanes? The performance of them is absolutely the same, the design is similar, the price is also, but we have already told about the sizes. Does all the difference now lies only in the presence or absence of an electronic pen?
SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 and GALAXY NOTE 3
In any case, a special technological breakthrough from the new flagship is not worth waiting for the Galaxy S line. New technological discoveries have not yet been made, and all the open has already been pronounced, and now they donate, finish, re-influence - improve functionality. And we are talking not only about Samsung devices - the entire market is generally now in anticipation of something new. This, by the way, is well noticeable for the example of the last two world IT exhibitions that have passed at the beginning of the year in Las Vegas and Barcelona. Korean company products did not exception: hardware and technically new flagship It is not very different from the previous one (Samsung Galaxy S4) - now improving functionality is placed at the head of the corner. The possibilities of the ultra-fast data transfer, the updated camera control program interface, a wide selection of fitness applications, cardiac rhythm monitor, a fingerprint scanner, as well as agreements with leading world content and service providers on the preset of all sorts of applications with a long-term prepaid subscription. What now work in Samsung. Gigabytes and Gighellians somehow suddenly moved to the background, which, probably, for the better. Surprisingly, but its new flagship Koreans did not even add the RAM - in Galaxy S5, 2 GB of RAM, although some changes in the novelty are still in the hardware plan.

Appearance and ease of use
As already mentioned, the new model of the Galaxy S series has become much larger in the dimensions than the previous one. Feels in hand, the smartphone finally passed the invisible trait called "a little bit, and there will be already a bust": Now the device has become really cumbersome and surprisingly heavy. For the chest pocket of a shirt, for example, it is now a certain inaccessible guest, although, of course, people who firmly decided to go on a life path with "shovel" in the sizes new Galaxy S will not feel anything unusual. Yet it is less than Galaxy Note 3, although the difference is already minimal. Nevertheless, it is still not clear why it was necessary to make a new model so greater than the previous one with almost the same screens. At the Galaxy S4 side frames, for example, have a width of only 3 mm, and at Galaxy S5, they suddenly grow up to 4 mm, the same applies to the upper and lower parts of the frame - they also suddenly became much wider, although the screen itself is practically not changed.
Concerning external view, here the developers clearly adhere to a single design line: metal and leather, leather and metal - they are now used in all mobile devices Companies (including numerous wearable gadgets). It is a pity that when the current flagships are sold, the current flagships are sold in the company - maybe these devices would like to look really stylish. But no, as in the previous times, ordinary molded plastic used here to create the visibility of that the rear wall of the smartphone is made of leather. The texturing on the plastic differs from that of the Galaxy Note 3: there was a certain pseudotyase, as if a pattern was squeezed out of numerous points. It looks pretty and fresh, in a great least better than glossy plastic, for a long time Decorated the surface of all Galaxy S and Galaxy Note.
As for the metal, it is also not here: a brilliant "chrome" bezel around the perimeter of the body (exactly the same as the previous models, only with another pattern) is a spraying for plastic, and not a real metal. This bezel, by the way, was also much wider and even thicker, adding the load in the smartphone as a whole.
The surface of the rim is quite slippery - at the expense of it, as well as due to a considerable mass, the device is quite inconvenient from the surface of the table, since the confident clutch does not feel the fingers.
The back cover is easily removed from the housing and is also easy to wear - it is attached traditionally on several plastic latches, for engaging a nail there is a barely noticeable ledge. Under the lid hid slots for the SIM card and memory card, located "sandwich" one over the other.
Below equipped compartment for removable rechargeable battery - She supports the cards, but the memory card is still able to replace "on hot". The SIM card in the device is used only one, Micro-SIM format, MicroSD memory card here you can use a volume of up to 128 GB.
In the back of the smartphone there is a square window of the camera module, it is quite large in size, there is a LED flash next to it. Below in the recess is visible to the eyes of the sensor for measuring the pulse. The camera of the cardiac rhythm sensor is recessed into the housing, and it also has its backlight - a small LED element highlights the vessels applied to the finger chamber, while it leads to count the heartbeats. Even below, there is a hole for the sound of the audio dynamics from a slightly arched out of the twist, and decorates all this silver chromed company logo.
The front panel did not undergo significant changes - this is a completely recognizable element of all Samsung mobile devices. It is allocated, first of all, with its oblong mechanical key under the screen, which this time has received additional functionality. This button is also responsible for scanning a fingerprint - now no one can reproach Koreans in the fact that they do not have golden smartphone with fingerprint scanner. Unlike the iPhone scanner, here the finger can not just apply: it is necessary to carry it along the key, and even with the right speed - If you hurry, then you can fail. In this regard, the iPhone scanner looks preferable: not only you do not need to move your finger, but also you can apply your finger to the button at any angle, which allows you to keep the machine with any comfortable grip. In the case of the Samsung Galaxy S5 scanner, you will have to keep the device with one hand, and another to spend on the sensor, which is quite tedious, and most users are likely to be simply disconnected.
Touch buttons next to the mechanical have a bright white backlight with a custom glow time, which commemorate. Above, above the screen, a longitudinal slot is visible in a protective glass for the sound of sound from a conversational speaker, peaks are noticeable next to it. frontal chamber and sensors. There is also a LED alert indicator that shines with different colors depending on the charging status and incoming events - its functions can be configured: disabled or involved separately.
Buttons on the lateral edges of the device two: on the left - adjustment of the volume, on the right - on and locking. Large metallized keys of all Samsung smartphones have a soft move and distinct press, they are great to blindly, and in general, the products of the Korean company are one of the best on the market.
At the top of the end, it is cozy to settle one next to another headphone jack (3.5 mm) and infrared transmitter eyes serving to control various techniques as a remote control. The corresponding branded software called Smart Remote moves from the model to the model - naturally, it is also here. SMART REMOTE functionality - at height: It is not only able to associate a smartphone using an infrared port with any technique, but also can act as an interactive program program.
On the lower end, the USB 3.0 connector is covered with a metallized lid with a rubber gasket - it protects the smartphone from entering dust and moisture. Yes, yes, the new flagship of the Galaxy S lineup finally got a dust value according to the IP67 standard. In principle, she also had in the previous model, but there it was a separate branch of the line called Galaxy Active.. Protection in the Galaxy S5 apparatus is arranged in the same way: a rubber clock was glued to the inner surface of the back cover, and the connectors are closed with special plugs. It's nice that every time it is worn back cover Or remove the plug from the micro-usb connector, the smartphone itself reminds you to close the protective covers (reminding you can disable).
Well, finally, about the most pleasant: now in the arsenal of the Galaxy S lineup appeared a new color - golden. In addition to selling it, there are three more colors that have already decorated Samsung flagship devices (for example, Galaxy S3). According to tradition, they assigned romantic names: coal-black (black), sparkling white (white), electric blue (blue) and copper gold (golden). For additional decorations, in particular a keychain or strap, no mounts are provided.
Screen
SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 smartphone is equipped with Super AMOLED touch matrix. Screen dimensions are 63 × 113 mm, diagonal - 5.1 inches, resolution - 1920 × 1080 points. Such a parameter as the density of pixels per inch is here 432 PPI - the density of the points is very high.
Outside the screen is covered protective glass. The thickness of the side frame from the edge of the screen to the edge of the case is approximately 4 mm, the frames are not very narrow, in the previous model they were less.
The display brightness can be manually adjusted, and you can use automatic adjustment. Multitouch technology here allows you to process up to 10 simultaneous touches. The screen can be controlled by hands in gloves, while it becomes more sensitive to any touch, so that the settings are prudently left the ability to disconnect this function. There is a smartphone and an approximation sensor that blocks the screen when making a smartphone to the ear.

Detailed examination with the use of measuring instruments was conducted by the editor of the "Monitors" and "Projectors and TV" sections of Alexey Kudryavtsev. We present his expert opinion on the screen of the sample under study.
The front surface of the screen is made in the form of a glass plate with a mirror-smooth surface resistant to the appearance of scratches. Judging by the brightness of the reflected objects, there is a very effective anti-glare filter, which is superior to a decrease in the brightness of the reflection of the Google Nexus 7 screen filter (2013) (hereinafter just Nexus 7). For clarity, we give a photo on which the white surface is reflected in the screens (left - Nexus 7, on the right - Samsung Galaxy S5, then they can be distinguished by size):
Due to the small difference in the color of the reflection and framework, it is difficult to visually evaluate the magnitude of the decrease in the brightness of the reflection, however, statistics from graphic Editor It shows that the screen at S5 is really slightly darker than Nexus 7. Two-reflected objects are very weak, it suggests that there is no air interval between the screen layers. On the outer surface of the screen there is a special oleophobic (tight-repellent) coating, (very effective, maybe a little better than that of Google Nexus 7), so traces from the fingers are removed significantly, and appear at a lesser speed than in the case of conventional glass.
When the white field is outputing the entire screen and with manual control, its maximum value was 340 kD / m², minimum - 2 cd / m². Despite the highest brightness value, even with bright daylight, the smartphone can be used, since it helps an effective anti-glare filter. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that in this case the smaller the white area on the screen, the brighter, that is, the actual maximum brightness of white areas will be almost always higher than the specified value. For example, when withdrawing white on half of the screen, the maximum brightness with manual adjustment increases to 360 cd / m². Mode with low brightness without problems allows you to use your smartphone even in complete darkness. It works automatic brightness adjustment over the light sensor (it is located to the right of the front loudspeaker). In the work of this function, you can make adjustments by moving the setting slider from −5 before +5 units. Next for three conditions, we give the screen brightness values \u200b\u200bfor the three values \u200b\u200bof this setting - for −5 , 0 and +5 . In full dark in automatic mode The brightness decreases to 4, 9 and 16 cd / m², respectively (in general is dark), in conditions of an artificial light of the office (approximately 400 lux), the brightness is set to 100, 180 and 270 kD / m² (acceptable), in a bright illuminated environment (corresponds to the coverage of a clear day outside the room, but without direct sunlight - 20,000 LCs or a little more) - rises to 420-425 kD / m² for all three correction values, which is more maximum with manual adjustment and should be enough to ensure readability in the sun. In principle, the result of the operation of this function corresponds to the expected. When reduced brightness, modulation appears with a frequency of 240 Hz. The figure below shows the dependences of the brightness (vertical axis) from time to time (horizontal axis) for the three brightness settings:
It can be seen that on the maximum brightness, the modulation is practically absent (amplitude is insufficient for visual flicker distinguishability), but on medium and low brightness relative modulation amplitude high, so the flicker image can be seen in the test for the presence of a stroboscopic effect or simply with the quick eye movement. Depending on individual sensitivity, such flicker may cause increased fatigue.
This smartphone uses the Super AMOLED matrix - an active matrix on organic LEDs. The full color image is created using subpixels of three colors - red (R), green (G) and blue (B), but green subpixels are twice as much as possible as RGBG. This is confirmed by a microfotography fragment:
(For comparison, you can get acquainted with the micrographic gallery of the screens used in mobile technician.)
For such matrices, Samsung introduced the name Pentile RGBG.. Screen resolution The manufacturer believes on green subpixels, in two others it will be two times lower. The location and form of subpixels in this embodiment is similar to the option in the case of the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen. This version of Pentile RGBG is better than an old with red squares, rectangles of blue and strips of green subpixels. Nevertheless, some irregularities of contrasting borders and other artifacts are still present. For example, when withdrawing the black and white worlds through one pixel (the original can be taken from here) the vertical lines look uneven, and the horizontal is non-contrast and are not separated by a white, but a greenish gap. The fragment (reference is available for the source photo) of the macro photography reveals the reason:
It can be seen that the vertical lines have a black gap and the fact that in the amount of the colors of subpixels can be considered white, but due to the red subpixels, some irregularities of lines occurs on one side. When horizontal lines There is no white gap (there are green subpixels), nor black (there are red and blue subpixels). However, these artifacts are purely academic interest, since in conditions of mobile use it is extremely difficult to visually distinguish so small details. As a result, the resolution is leveling "features" of the Pentile RGBG matrix.
The screen is characterized by magnificary angles of the review, however, the white color when there is a light shade on relatively large corners, but the black color is simply black under any corners (although the reflection from bright objects has a bluish halo stretched out horizontally, which is why black sections May be slightly breathed to acquire a "metal" shade). So black that the contrast parameter in this case is simply not applicable. With perpendicular view, the uniformity of the white field is excellent. For comparison, we give the photos on which sAMSUNG screens Galaxy S5 and the second participant of the competition are displayed the same images, while the brightness of the screens is set to about 210 kD / m². Perpendicular to screens White field:
You can note the excellent uniformity of the brightness and color tone of the white field. And test picture (in mode Standard):
The color rendition is clearly not bad, but with all the conventionality of the forced color balance in the camera installed on 6500 K, it is clear that the colors of S5 is clearly "colder" and have too high saturation. Now at an angle of about 45 degrees to the plane and to the side of the screen. White field:
The brightness at an angle in both screens has decreased noticeably (in order to avoid strong blackout, the shutter speed is doubled in comparison with previous two photos), but in the case of Samsung, the brightness drop is expressed much less. And test picture:
It can be seen that the colors did not "float" all screens and the brightness of Samsung S5 at an angle is noticeably higher.
Switching the status of the matrix elements is performed almost instantly, but the step (or two) 16.7 ms width may be present on the front (or less than shutting speed) (or two) (corresponds to the screen update rate of 60 Hz). For example, it looks like a dependence of brightness from time when moving from black to a shade of 25% (by numerical color value) and back:
In some conditions, the presence of such a step can lead to loops stretching for moving objects, but with normal use to see these artifacts are almost impossible. Rather, on the contrary - dynamic scenes in films on OLED screens are distinguished by high definition and even some "dongy" movements.
The ability to set up color reproduction is implemented on a page with a selection of profiles, one of which implies some automatic adjustment (profile Adapt Display.):
In case one of three fixed profiles is selected, except for the profile Dynamic, built according to 32 points with an equal interval of the numerical value of the shade of a gray gamma curve did not reveal any drool in either lights, nor in the shadows, and the indicator of the approximating power function is 2.28-2.30, which is slightly higher than the standard value of 2.2 At the same time, the real gamma curve practically does not deviate from power dependence:
For profile Dynamic Gamma curve has a slightly expressed S-shaped character, which increases the visible contrast of the image. Recall that in the case of OLED screens, the brightness of the image fragments is dynamically changing in accordance with the nature of the displayed image - decreases for light in general images and increases for dark. As a result, the obtained dependence of brightness from the shade (gamma curve) is most likely not a little corresponding to the gamma curve of the static image, since the measurements were carried out at sequential output Shades of gray almost full screen. This dynamism of the image rises when the option is selected. Autonaster. Screen brightness. Below are the dependence of brightness on the time obtained when switching from the black field to white and back with the turned off and the included option. Autonaster. Screen brightness:
In the second case, the brightness after a while begins to drop. The picture is slightly darkened, but the energy is slightly saved.
Color coverage in case of profiles Dynamic, Standard and Professional photography Very wide and almost covers ADOBE RGB:
When choosing a profile Cinema The coverage is pressed to the borders of the SRGB, but still remains a little wider:
No correction spectra components are very well divided:
In case of profile Cinema With the maximum correction, the components of the colors are slightly mixed up to each other:
Note that on screens with a wide color coverage of the color of conventional images optimized for SRGB devices, it looks unnaturally saturated. This can be seen on the above photos. However, a visual assessment showed that when choosing a profile Cinema Saturation is noticeably reduced, and the colors become close to natural. The photograph of the screen received after selecting this profile is shown below:
Unfortunately, the most recognizable shades - the skin, for example, remain slightly oversaturated.
The balance of shades on the scale of gray is imperfect, but, in general, acceptable. Color temperature in profiles Dynamic and Standard Essentially above 6,500 K, in the two remaining - close to 6500 K, while on the scale of the scale of gray from white to dark gray, this parameter changes not very much. The deviation from the spectrum of an absolutely black body (ΔE) to the most part of the gray scale remains below 10 units, which is considered a good indicator for the consumer device, and also changes rigorously:
(The darkest areas of the gray scale in most cases can not be considered, since the balance of colors does not matter, and the measurement error of the color characteristics on the low brightness is large.)
Let us sum up: the screen has a sufficiently high maximum brightness and a very effective anti-glare filter, so a smartphone without any problems can be used outdoors even a summer sunny day. In complete dark, brightness can be reduced to a comfortable value. Permissible, and in bright light - it is even recommended to use the automatic adjustment mode that works more or less adequately. A very good oleophobic coating and close to the standard color balance must be attributed to the dignity of the screen and close to the standard color balance (when choosing the appropriate profiles). At the same time we recall about the general advantages of OLED screens: true black color, excellent uniformity of the white field, less than that of the LCD, the drop in the brightness of the image at a view at an angle. The disadvantages include the modulation of the brightness of the screen appears during medium and low brightness values. In users who are particularly sensitive to flicker, due to this, increased fatigue may occur. Nevertheless, in general, the screen quality is very high.
Sound
In the sound plan, the smartphone is approximately the same as Galaxy S4. Sound in moderation bass low frequencies Not deprived, clean in the entire range, but not so loud - there were devices and a pogrom (HTC One or Oppo Find 5, for example). The sound grill is embedded in the back wall, so the sound is muted when the device lies on the table. In the conversational dynamics, the voice of the familiar interlocutor, the timbre and intonation remain recognizable, lead telephone conversations SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 is quite comfortable.
To play musical compositions in the apparatus, a choice of three pre-installed players is provided: Google Play. Music, Yandex.Music and your own Samsung player. Everything sound effects When playing melodies, the branded player is combined by technology called SoundAlive - True, some of them are available only with connected headphones. The same applies to the sound optimization function. A variety of virtual effects is presented a lot, they are combined here in the matrix of squares, you can experiment for a very long time.

Camera
Samsung Galaxy S5 is equipped with two digital camera modules with a resolution of 16 and 2 megapions. Frontal takes pictures with maximum resolution 1920 × 1080, with the same resolution removes the video.
The main, rear camera is equipped with a new 16 megapixel module with heavy autofocus (focusing for 0.3 s), stabilization, single-section LED flash and the ability to shoot video in the UHD resolution (4K). In addition to one fashionable function - video filming with a resolution of 4K, it also uses the other: as in the newest Sony Xperia. Z2, here it appeared the possibility of selective focus, which allows you to highlight a certain part of the image, leaving the background blurred. That is, now to create the effect of a shallow depth of field (DOF) no longer need to use special lenses and lenses.
When shooting in automatic mode, which is installed by default, the photos are obtained in size 5312 × 2988. I liked the design and organization of the new camera control interface. Here, as in the case of the audio planning menu, everything is separated on the equivalent cells, each of which is always in plain form, interactive, the drawing of them is distinct, all menus is perfectly visible even on the brightest sunlight. In general, the camera control settings menu managed, perhaps, the best on the market for the convenience of access to all functions and overall visibility.

The camera can shoot a video in the UHD resolution (4k), several permissions are provided to the selection to a maximum up to 3840 × 2160. The settings are traditionally for the last top models of the mobile market there are also modes of slow and steady shooting. Examples of test rollers are presented below.
- Roller №1 (189 MB, 3840 × 2160, 4K)
- Roller # 2 (58 MB, 1920 × 1080, 1080p)
- Roller # 3 (123 MB, 3840 × 2160, 4K indoors)
- Roller №4 (71 MB, 1280 × 720, slow)
- Roller number 5 (4 MB, 1920 × 1080, steady)
Examples of photos with our comments are presented below.
 |
The sharpness of the snapshot is good. |
 |
On the frame of the frame, the sharpness is also not bad. |
 |
Small details worked fine enough. |
 |
With the opposite light, the camera copes not so good, but the exposition is not bad. |
 |
On thin lines, you can see small waves from the work of the noise - but only under the closer look. |
 |
With insufficient lighting, you can see noises - however, relatively small. |
 |
The camera is well handled noises in the shadows. True, the detailing from this little suffers. |
 |
Macro with insufficient lighting is good for the camera, but it is worth using the focus due to relatively long exposure. |
 |
With good lighting, macro shot is good for the camera well. |
 |
Another example is not bad macro. |
 |
The text has been worked well, but a bit damaged. However, it is possible that the camera works carefully with smaller text. |
|
Stitching panoramas is almost perfect. They suffer only dynamic objects, which is quite natural. |
 |
Lighting ≈1300 luxury. The camera copes very well. |
 |
Lighting ≈460 luxury. The situation is practically not changing. |
 |
Lighting ≈240 lux. Noise becomes noticeable, especially their processing. |
 |
Lighting ≈240 lux, flash. The flash significantly improves the situation, almost returning the initial resolution. |
 |
Lighting<1 люкс. В темноте камера не справляется. |
 |
Lighting<1 люкс, вспышка. И в темноте вспышка отрабатывает очень хорошо. |
First of all, it is worth noting that now the camera has a 1 / 2.6 sensor ", and not just a greater permission, while the smartphone cameras were honored only with 1/3 format matrices" (not counting Nokia), and even less While Sony did not dare to install 1 / 2.3 format sensor in Xperia Z1. So Samsung after Sony began slow, but loyal movement towards improving the quality of the pictures. And, I must say, the result is noticeable to an inquisitive look.
Firstly, good work with noises is already visible. The processing of them still leaves much to be desired, but if you do not consider images of pixelno, then notable strong color noises in the shadows are almost not visible. Of course, this is the result of the work of the noise, but more resolution allows it to work more subtle, and the increased size of the sensor slightly reduces the likelihood of severe noise. Of course, I will not start in the reasoning about the size of the pixel (like HTC) and allegedly flowing from this chamber's qualities, but the increase in the sensor definitely brings fruits. Secondly, the detailing of the image has improved, which is also the merit of more resolution and an enlarged sensor.
I would like Samsung to still refine the noise, then the camera can already be compared with ordinary compacts. Although without it, she manifests themselves very worthily, and it can be seen that it worked well above her. The optics of the camera works quite smoothly throughout the entire field of frame and on all plans. Of course, it would be strange to see the flagship flaws in such places, however, we already faced. Sharping can be found only if you know where to look for. The only thing that is really impossible to be called perfect is the work of the noise - it looks very archaic with a similar result of processing in the pictures of the modern flagship.
According to the results of the shooting of the stand, it can be concluded that the real resolution of the pictures may not be highest, but we have already stipulated that in this case it is not the main characteristic, especially in the neighborhood of such values, since the resolution can be high, but not at the same time Natural. However, the resolution of the camera is very decent. It is also worth noting the good work of the outbreak, and the sensor, which has enough steadily work with different lighting.
In general, the camera is made very worthy, almost at the level of compact cameras. Of course, it has something to work on it, and in general there is where to strive. But in the present form, it is well suited for shooting documentary and artistic plots.
Telephone part and communication
On the communication capabilities of Samsung Galaxy S5, the developers make a special emphasis: the smartphone works in the fifth generation of Wi-Fi 802.11ac networks with 2 × 2 MIMO mode - in this mode data can be accepted and transmitted in two streams, that is, up to two times faster than In the first generations of 802.11ac devices compatible. In addition, the device provides support for a large number of 4G (LTE) frequencies and speeds corresponding to the LTE Category 4 standard - up to 150 Mbps. With the SIM card of the domestic operator, the megaphone smartphone in practice confidently finds and works with the LTE network.
In addition, the smartphone has support for the Wi-Fi range of 5 GHz and NFC Standard. You can organize a wireless access point through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth channels, there is a Wi-Fi Direct mode. The navigation module works with the GPS system (with A-GPS) and from the domestic GLONASS. The speed and quality of the operation of the GPS module does not cause complaints: the system works quickly, trouble-free, the navigation module finds the first satellites almost instantly, and even indoors.

Spontaneous reboots / shutdowns during testing was not observed. The smartphone screen is large, so the drawing of letters and numbers of virtual keyboards is quite comfortable for control. It is very convenient that there is a dedicated top row with numbers - do not have to switch the layout each time. But the layout itself and the location of the keys are not like others, instead of simply pressing the selected button with the image of the globe, here you have to switch the language layouts by side scrolling on the space key, which is definitely less convenient. The telephone application supports Smart Dial, that is, during the dialing of the phone number immediately, the search first letters in contacts are immediately performed. Supporting an unbearable letter with sliding here is here, but the ability to sign the keyboard closer to one of the edges, as on the Galaxy Note series tablet, there is no.

OS and Software
As a system, the Google Android Software Platform is used. 4.4.2 (Kitkat) and the brand graphical user interface Touchwiz, the appearance of which has undergone changes. He became, according to a new fashion, more "flat", which clearly went to him, although the traditional Asian alay is left. The appearance of the settings menu has changed: now all icons have the form of absolutely identical circles and are located in the form of a single long list. But, naturally, the menu display can be changed, leading to the old view with vertical tabs. In this case, there will be no four, as before, but six. In general, the new type of interface and the settings menu liked more than the old one: everything is combed, ordered, symmetrically, work with various subsections of the menu has become intuitively more understandable. The menu of the installed applications has not changed significant changes, but now you can display a special button to the work screen, by clicking on which the context menu opens with rapid access to the most popular applications. The notifications menu received two additional dedicated oval buttons to quickly transition to the search throughout the smartphone and turning on the quick connection function to familiar devices.

Another way to block the smartphone is now added another: you can block the screen using a fingerprint, the scanner of which is built into the center key under the screen. To successfully memorize the texture of the pillow of your finger, it is necessary to spend on a sensor at least eight times, after that you will have to come up with a standard digital code in case for five attempts to the finger remain unrecognized. It's a shame when the developer also imposes restrictions on the personal password of the personal password: an attempt to limit the digital password failed - it is necessary to move the numbers with letters.

By the way, the issue of security has strengthened in Samsung Galaxy S5 and another innovation: now, by the appearance of the "Children" mode, you can open access only to certain allowed programs, after which it is calmly entrusting the device for 30 thousand rubles to play a child.
If we were talking about the games, it is worth noting that on the smartphone we have been tested with such games like Dead Trigger 2 and Asphalt 8 - no problems with their playback are found.
Another specific mode of operation has been added to the smartphone, which developers themselves spoke a lot about presentations. In fact, this is a regular energy-saving mode that has any built-in program to save energy in mobile devices, simply Samsung brings its smartphone in this mode at all until complete "exhaustion". When the maximum power saving mode is activated, all network interfaces are not only disabled, but also the graphical interface of the shell becomes black and white, and the number of applications allowed to work is rigidly limited. Naturally, in such a mode, the smartphone can "work out" much longer (who would doubt), but this work will be carried out in a very limited framework.

One of the central applications on the modern SAMSUNG top smartphones, which the developers constantly resemble the developers, is a program for tracking his own health called s Health. The program has a wide range of functions useful to strengthen the health of functions: a pedometer, recording of physical exercises, controlling power control, etc. Now the application not only received a new version of Health 3.0, but also acquired additional functionality in the form of a dedicated hardware meter of the pulse. In principle, some programs have previously tried to read heart blows using an ordinary camera of a smartphone, and now it was allocated for this entire unit with a small camera and backlit. It is necessary to make a finger to the deepening in the rear of the smartphone, and then the program reads your pulse. Naturally, these data persists, processed and derived in the form of graphs and tips on keeping a healthy lifestyle.

Performance
SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 hardware platform is based on a single-chip file system (SOC) Qualcomm Snapdragon 801. The new platform has the functionality of Snapdragon 800 with a slightly larger frequency of processor cores: Snapdragon 801 can work at frequencies up to 2.45 GHz, while the nestound frequency of the previous one The version of the chip was limited to 2.36 GHz.
Support in the processing processor processor here provides the same ADRENO 330 video source here, but also a frequency increases here: the GPU is already accelerated to 578 MHz instead of 450 MHz. About 12 GB (out of 16) are available for the user's needs for the user's needs in the device, the amount of RAM is 2 GB - in this regard, no extension, surprisingly, did not happen, while Sony equipped his newest flagship three gigabytes random access memory. MicroSD memory cards in this model are supported, you can also connect external flash drives, keyboards and mice using a special adapter in OTG mode.

Since the most powerful and most productive of competing serial platforms is now SOC MediaTek MT6592, the configuration of which includes eight full-fledged processor cores, [at the same time] functioning at a frequency up to 2 GHz, then it is logical to be included in the comparison primarily it is its results. Recall that quite recently we released a review of a powerful TCL Idol X + smartphone, whose work is built on the maximum version of this platform. Also, to comparison, of course, it is worth adding the results demonstrated in the same tests of the previous version of the Qualcomm platform - Snapdragon 800, which has all the top smartphones last year. However, the most important battle today will not take place today, because the main competitor of the hero of today's review, the flagship smartphone Sony Xperia Z2, also built on the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, until I reached our test laboratory. In the near future we will definitely compare it with the SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 data obtained today.
To get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe performance of the platform of the test smartphone, we will carry out a standard set of tests.
All the results obtained by us when testing the smartphone in the most recent versions of popular benchmarks, we are conveniently reduced to the table. The table usually adds several other devices from various segments, also tested on similar recent versions of benchmarks (this is done only for a visual assessment of the resulting dry numbers). Unfortunately, within the framework of the same comparison, it is impossible to submit results from different versions of the benchmarks, so "for the scenes" there are many decent and actual models - due to the fact that they at one time passed the "obstacles' band" on previous versions of test programs.
Testing in MobileXPRT, as well as in the latest versions of Antutu 4.x and Geekbench 3:

Test results are as follows. As for the competing MediaTek MT6592, then with it the newest Qualcomm system (Snapdragon 801) coped in all articles. In general, it is absolutely not surprising if you consider that the previous version of Snapdragon 800 coped with it. As for comparison with SNAPDRAGON 800, according to the results of all real gain tests, it has practically not been found: all the same maximum 35k points in Antutu, and in the rest of the benchmarks, the difference is hapher - within the error.
By the way, as for these most resultant numbers: since the smartphone tested today is a landmark device, and the rest will be equal to it throughout the year, then it is probably worth reminding a fresh alignment of forces. If you rely on the numbers of the popular benchmark Antutu, it looks approximately as follows: eight MEDIATEK MT6592 cores with a frequency of 2 GHz demonstrate in this test of 31K points (26 thousand points in eight-core Zopo 998 and ThL T100S with a lower frequency of processor cores - 1.7 GHz), And about 35 thousand - in top smartphones, such as LG G2, Sony Xperia Z1, Acer Liquid S2, and now Samsung Galaxy S5, built on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800/801 hardware platform. Two main outputs obtained as a result of all these comparisons are suggested: TCL Idol X + is the first smartphone on the MediaTek platform, which managed to closely get to the leading solutions on Qualcomm, albeit by twice the processor cores. And the second: the new version of the Qualcomm top platform practically did not make an increase in performance, although this microscopic superiority allowed her even stronger to gain a faster on the podium's podium as a unconditional leader among the platforms for mobile devices. According to this, Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 platform is currently one of the most powerful smartphones on the planet.
When testing in 3DMark for the most productive smartphones now it is possible to run the application in Unlimited mode, where the resolution of the rendering is fixed to 720p and is turned off by VSYNC (due to which the speed can rise above 60 FPS).

The results of the testing of the graphics subsystem in the Epic Citadel game test, as well as Basemark X and Bonsai Benchmark:
MALI-450MP4 video subsystem retardation is still noticeable: this video inspector issues approximately 47 FPS in those test modes in which Adreno 330 issues 60 FPS.

Browser cross-platform tests:
As for the benchmarks to estimate the speed of the JavaScript engine, it is always worth making a discount on the fact that they are significantly dependent on the browser in which they are launched, so that the comparison may be truly correct only in the same OS and browsers, and such an opportunity is available when testing not always. In the case of Android OS, we always try to use Google Chrome.
Video playback
To test "omnivities" when playing video (including support for various codecs, containers and special capabilities, such as subtitles), we used the most common formats that constitute the bulk of the content available on the content network. Note that for mobile devices it is important to have the support of hardware decoding of videos at the chip level, since to process modern options due to the processor nuclei are most often impossible. Also, it is not necessary to wait from the mobile device of decoding everything, since the leadership in flexibility belongs to PC, and no one is going to challenge it.
With the video playback, Samsung Galaxy S5 is not so smooth, as I would like. It is amazing, but it is one of the rare smartphones in which the popular MX recorder refuses to start with a hardware + decoder, and most often only this option and saves the position when the regular player cannot play the audio track of the file. That is, in the case of Samsung Galaxy S5 in order to properly lose three of the five of our test files (MKV), you will have to use a software decoder (at a minimum, to decode sound - video can be decoded with hardware) - Neither the aparthotel or hardware + Nor, naturally, the regular video player decoder is not able to lose these types of file types in the network. And this is a clear drawback, because we have a solution with excellent in all parameters with a large and high-quality screen and maximum performance that could be an excellent multimedia assistant. By the way, similar problems are found at Galaxy Note 3 - we hope that with the release of updates for MX Player, the situation will somehow change. By the way, at the top smartphones of LG and Sony in this tablet always full order, for even their own hardware, they are able to play all the files presented, not to mention the support of all MX player modes.

¹ Sound in MX Video Player was played only after switching to software decoding (mode Hardware + not supported); the regular player does not have such a setting

Additionally, the MHL interface was tested. To test it, we used the LG IPS237L monitor that supports a direct MHL connection using a passive adapter cable from the Micro-USB connector on HDMI. Recall that Samsung has implemented its type of interface at the physical level. As a result, for connecting an external MHL device, you need to use special adapters or connect standard MHL adapters through simple passive adapters. In this case, the test was performed using the Samsung branded adapter, while the conclusion on MHL was carried out in a resolution of 1920 to 1080 pixels with a frequency of 60 frame / s.
With a portrait orientation of the smartphone, the image output to the monitor screen is also carried out in the portrait orientation, while the image on the monitor is written into the screen boundaries in height, and the on the right and on the left are wide black fields. In this case, the actual resolution on the monitor screen, of course, is lower than permission on the smartphone screen. With the landscape orientation of the smartphone, the image output to the monitor screen is carried out in the landscape orientation, while the image on the monitor is written in the screen boundary and exactly corresponds to the image on the smartphone screen. Exception - starter screen, which is displayed only in portrait orientation:
The sound on MHL is displayed (in this case, the sounds were heard through the headphones connected to the monitor, since there are no loudspeakers in the monitor) and it has good quality. At the same time, at least multimedia sounds through the loudspeaker of the smartphone itself are not displayed, and the volume is adjusted by the buttons on the smartphone housing. In principle, in the smartphone settings, you can choose the sound output mode - stereo or volumetric. However, in our case, the monitor took only stereo sound, so there was no choice. MHL connected smartphone is charging.
To test the image output of the video files to the screen itself, we used a set of test files with moving on one division per frame with an arrow and a rectangle (see "Testing methods for playing devices and displaying a video signal. Version 1 (for mobile devices)"). Screenshots with shutter speed in 1 C helped to determine the nature of the output of video files with various parameters: resolution ranged (1280 per 720 (720p), 1920 at 1080 (1080p) and 3840 at 2160 (4K) pixels) and frame rate (24, 25, 30, 50 and 60 frames / s). In the tests, we used the MX Player video player in the hardware mode, since there were many artifacts in the hardware + mode. The results of this test (block entitled as the "smartphone screen") are reduced to the table:
Note: If in both columns Uniformity and Pass Green estimates are exhibited, it means that, most likely, when viewing the films of artifacts caused by uneven alternation and passage of frames, or will not be seen at all, or their number and notice will not affect the preservation of viewing. Red marks indicate possible problems associated with playing relevant files.
According to the frame output criterion, the quality of video files playback on the smartphone itself is high, since frames (or frames of frames) can be outlined with more or less uniform intervals, and there are no frames of frames. The smartphone can even show files with a 4K resolution to 30P inclusive. However, uniform alternation of frames is a relatively unstable state, since some external and internal background processes lead to a periodic failure of the correct interval between frames. When playing video files with a resolution of 1920 to 1080 (1080p) on the smartphone screen, the image of the video file is displayed exactly along the border of the screen, one to one pixels, that is, in the initial resolution (with amendment for some Pentile features). The brightness range displayed on the screen actually corresponds to the standard range 16-235 - in the shadows of the entire pair of shades merged with black color, but all gradations are displayed in the lights. However, dark scenes may not look very good, since the darkest shades are too different in brightness and color tone, which can lead to excessive visibility of compression artifacts.
With the MHL connected monitor when playing a video full-time player, the video file image is displayed only in the landscape orientation, while only the picture of the video file is displayed on the monitor, and only information elements and virtual controls are displayed on the smartphone screen.
The results of the output tests on the monitor are shown in the table above in the MHL block. The quality of the output is very good. When playing a video files with Full HD (1920 per 1080 pixels) on the monitor screen, the image of the video file is displayed exactly along the screen border with the preservation of true proportions, and the resolution corresponds to the permission of Full HD. The brightness range displayed on the monitor is equal to the standard range of 16-235, that is, in the shadows and in the lights are displayed all gradations of shades.
Typical output: MHL connection can be used for games, viewing movies, withdrawing web pages and other activities that wins from multiple screen size increases. True, you will have to purchase an adapter for Samsung or find the appropriate adapter.
Battery life
The lithium-ion battery installed in the Samsung Galaxy S5 has a good on modern standards, but not a record capacity of 2800 mA · h. Accordingly, in terms of the duration of autonomous work, the device showed very good results, which we traditionally reduced in a comparative table.
| Battery capacity | Reading mode | Video mode | 3D game mode | |
| SAMSUNG GALAXY S5. | 2800 mA · h | 17 h. 20 m. | 12 h. 30 m. | 4 h. 30 m. |

Uninterrupted reading in the FBReader program (with a standard, light theme) with a minimum comfortable level of brightness (the brightness was set per 100 cd / m²) lasted until the battery was completely discharged, and when you continuously view video from YouTube in high quality (HQ) with The same brightness level through the home network Wi-Fi machine lasted 12.5 hours, in the 3D-games mode, the smartphone could have retained for such a screen of 4.5 hours, and such stability was really pleased: his predecessor Galaxy S4 at first was strongly overheated and with These tests should be coped poorly, and only with updating the firmware the situation has normalized. With the new flagship, before the start of sales, there were no problems in this regard, and by the way, the device heats a significantly less than its predecessor.
Outcome
Summarize the SAMSUNG GALAXY S5 review at the same time and easily and difficult. Easy, because no one, perhaps, do not need to explain why the flagship smartphones of the Korean company are deservedly among the best on the market. And it allocates them not only the combination of top technical characteristics and maximum performance, there is still something else. As it seems to us, the company is one of the few who is not ashamed to look at the desires of users. For most manufacturers, it always remains only not fulfilled by pathoral promises-slogans, and in practice, no matter how much users do not have robbed about something, they will not get it. But the Koreans have a completely different point of view at this expense, they will readily satisfy any desires of buyers. Want a removable battery? - Get. Do you need a memory card slot? - Yes, for God's sake, we do not feel sorry! Suddenly love golden color? - So, and now we have a golden smartphone. And these are such simple actions to couple with the good quality of products and enormous production volumes, the Korean company managed to climb on the very top of the mountain, extinguishing on the path of many, and someone simply dropping from the rock. Survives the one who knows how to adapt, and it is best of all at Koreans.
As for the hero of today's review directly, here it is safe to say that he became a worthy successor of the flagship rule. Excellent screen, powerful filling, complete technical equipment, good battery life and maximum functionality, a few added features like a pulser and imprint scanner - all this is worthy of praise. Although, it is worth recognizing that in the fifth Galaxy S there was no such noticeable innovations so that it was possible to call it a completely new model with full right, in terms of design and appearance so accurately (in this regard, by the way, even a kind of decline took place: The smartphone has become harder, larger, gross is all recognized). It is even surprising how this Koreans did not name the Galaxy S4S model - such a generally accepted "letter modifier", denoting the improved version of the model, would be more to the place. But this all is just confused by little.
But what is really depressing, so this is what Samsung climbs prices for their top smartphones. It seems that Koreans are no longer remembered that prices can sometimes vary - got with the previous flagship to a 30 thousandth mark and now exhibit the same price tag for all subsequent models as granted. The tricky thought in the heads of entrepreneurs is obviously as follows: "For the first time they will subside, but the next will already be rejoiced with the fact that even higher did not raise the price." So, by the way, it happened: now users are rejoicing that the price of the new flagship at the start of sales was not raised higher than that of the previous one. This is very disturbing, and of course on this background to recommend that such a device is difficult to purchase: it is definitely very worthy, but for many Samsung products can not be on the pocket now. Have we thought five years ago, what will we talk to the future about the products of this Korean company?
HTC One M8 for his friend and wrote a review in which he called him relevant, despite the fact that on sale for several months there is a HTC One M9. So, last year's flagship from HTC is far from the only one who a year later could preserve its relevance. It manifests itself in different aspects, not only the fact that due to the course of currencies the new flagships can afford not everyone can afford, but also the fact that the top smartphones of 2014 are so good characteristics that they are definitely difficult for new devices bypass In the case of HTC, a small redesign was carried out, in fact, because, and simply refusal from the ultrapixel camera as the main role. Even a strippet with a logo, wildly annoying many connoisseurs of flagship lines, and that did not remove.
In the case of Samsung, about last year's top-service device in this review and will be discussed, work on errors was carried out to a greater extent, the design has changed, the resolution of the display increased, the new flagship has become thinner and so on ... Moreover, the company dared to release On the basis of the "main" device, a version with an innovative display of the display on both sides.
All this is certainly good, but any desire to acquire the most fresh apparatus is divided into prices that manufacturers are so rapidly raising, as if noticing the "crisis" in our markets. Fortunately, we have the opportunity to purchase the cheaper, in connection with the new year, last year's flagship devices, which also possess elegant characteristics, performance and the latest version of the Android operating system.
Selection and order
One of these flagships and is Samsung Galaxy S5, purchased by me on Aliexpress. This lot has attracted me a lot of positive feedback and an average estimate of 4.8 stars.
Also pleased the presence of whole four versions of the smartphone and I say not at all about the colors (the choice of which also takes place), but about the versions of smartphones for various markets and regions. To select such versions:
- EU VERSION G900H.
- EU VERSION G900F.
- US Version G900T.
- US Version G900A.
Obviously, most of those reading this text are interested in the first two. Both will work with all our operators, but they have one pretty significant difference. They use various versions of representatives of one of the main characteristics for top smartphones, namely processors. G900F is used perhaps the traditional for flagships of 2014 - Snapdragon 801, but in the G900H version, Samsung engineers applied the software processor - Samsung Exynos 5 Octa 5422. In connection with the latter there is an opinion that the H version works a little faster as the processor SAMSUNG is more optimized for the rest of the iron.
In practice, the difference is not noticeable.
From the colors that I mentioned above are available, blue, blue, black and gold.
I was ordered by a smartphone version of EU Version G900F white.
First impressions
A smartphone is served in a small but rather thick box "under the tree".
In addition to the smartphone itself, there were:
- charger
- uSB-MicroUSB cable
- good headphones
- documentation
The phone itself is thin, pleasant to the touch and not heavy. Hold in your hands is quite pleasant.
First of all, surprised the unusual connector at the bottom of the case.
As it turned out later - the usual microUSB is suitable for it.
Characteristics:
- SUPER AMOLED screen, diagonal 5.1 ", resolution 1080 x 1920 and Gorilla Glass 3 coating.
- dimensions 142 x 72 x 8mm
- weight 145 grams
- OS - Android 4.4 factory, update to version 5.0.1 available
- SAMSUNG EXYNOS 5 OCTA 5422 processor
- RAM 2 GB
- li-ion battery at 2800 mah
- Main chamber 16 megapixels, photo resolution 5312x2988, LED flash, stabilization, HDR
- Frontal 2 megapixels.
- 32 GB + MicroSD memory up to 128 GB.
- GSM, 3G, LTE,
- WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, GPS, GLONASS
- Accelerometer, gyroscope, gesture sensors, illumination, approximity and cardiac rhythm
- The fingerprint scanner
- 3.5 mm audio connector
- Micro USB 3.0 Connector
- IP67 Protection
Experience and interesting feature
Perhaps, if you managed to update the Android version 5.0 immediately upon arrival.
According to the interface, it is almost unnoticed, TouchWiz is installed on the smartphone, fully overlapping the standard system interface and rightly soaked with a multitude of both useful and not very functions.
Those who Touchwiz do not like to make the opportunity to install the firmware from the Galaxy S5 model Google Play Edition with "clean" Android.
On the back cover, in addition to the camera and flash, there is a cardiac rhythm sensor, which practically unmistakably copes with its task.
The lid itself is very flexible and pleasant to the touch.
The main camera on 16 megapixels makes decent pictures in a large resolution, which distinguishes it from the main competitor - HTC One M8.
The front camera on 2 megapixels will easily cope with the tasks of video link and Selfie.
Nicely implemented such soft chips like:
- single hand control mode (reducing the active screens field)
- multi-plate mode
- car regime
- gesture management (for example, writing music over the display)
- perhaps the most convenient implementation of the SOS function (along the triple click of the lock button)
- energy saving mode I will remember about.
- quick pairing "By air" with printers.
Perhaps the most pleasant smartphone in this smartphone. He is just chic. FullHD permission is more than enough. I sincerely do not understand the point of use in smartphones (and in the tablets, perhaps) more. Over the years, Samsung has brought Amoled technology almost to perfection. Someone can still not please the color reproduction and other nuances, but so much IPS me cannot compete with it by energy efficiency. From this, actually follows the superffective energy-saving mode, which simply makes the color diagram of the entire black and white system, which leads to a significant reduction in energy costs and allows, if necessary, live the smartphone to the smartphone, or even a dozen hours.
With the active use of the smartphone, there is enough for a day. And if you want, the battery charge can be stretched even for three to four days.
Conclusions:
Samsung Galaxy S5 is undoubtedly all-more actual smartphone, and if you need a good functionality and a good camera - it is what you need. (If there is no need for a high resolution camera with high resolution - also see HTC One M8).
Thanks for attention.
