Samsung Galaxy S5, the true greatness of the mobile is in the software

Samsung Galaxy S5

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is a good mobile, but it has not been spared criticism from locals and strangers after its presentation. Innovative little, apparently, and people have criticized that it is a kind of Galaxy S4 Pro. Now, in reality, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is much more than it seems. Let no one dare to prejudge him.

Prejudices are wrong

The first thing I have to say is that if you think the Samsung Galaxy S5 is not worth it right now, you are wrong. And I do not speak without knowing what I am saying, I speak because I myself have been one of those who at the time prejudged a smartphone like the Samsung Galaxy S4, and later I got a really pleasant surprise. In fact, at that time I wrote the article in which I talked about the Samsung Galaxy S4 being the best mobile I had ever tried. And I can consider myself an Apple fanboy, I had the iPhone, I have the iPad, and I have always greatly appreciated the hardware and software of the Cupertino company. Even so, the Samsung Galaxy S4 surprised me, and I think that from the Samsung Galaxy S5 we can not only expect the same, but it will even surprise even more.

Few news?

The Samsung Galaxy S5 has left a bittersweet taste. Its hardware does not present great novelties when it comes to the screen, the processor, or the RAM. The screen is the same, Full HD. The processor is at the level of what is launched today, and what rival phones are going to carry. And the RAM is below that of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, being 2 GB.

However, we cannot say for that that it is a smartphone that has few novelties as far as hardware is concerned. Wear a heart rate monitor. For many it may be unimportant, but the truth is that it is an outstanding innovation, something that no other phone has. If you wear it, you wear it, if you don't wear it, you don't wear it. So I better take it. On the other hand, we also have the fingerprint reader. Yes, some smartphones on the market already have this component, but it is an element that the Sony Xperia Z2 does not have, for example. And finally, it is waterproof, something that was not before. It is something to take into account, of course.

But the key is in the software

Even so, all that is secondary, what really differentiates the Samsung Galaxy S5 from all other mobile phones is the software it carries. I was surprised because it makes life easier. Yes, that of what Apple boasts so much, which is to develop products that make life easier, is precisely what Samsung achieved with the Galaxy S4. And if in that mobile it was already something to highlight, in this Samsung Galaxy S5 it will be something totally surprising.

And we're not just talking about apps, but about little things that make the system better than pure Android. Yes, if you have a Galaxy Ace, or a Galaxy Mini, it is normal that you think that the customization of the software by Samsung is very bad, because it slows down the mobile, but bear in mind that we are talking about a flagship whose operation is usually optimal .

Details such as the shortcuts to applications when you connect the headphones, the ability to customize the settings that appear directly in the notification bar, or even all the options that the camera already has as standard, are things that we have to highlight. The "Driving Mode" is just another example of all the modifications in settings that this terminal carries. We don't have to look for additional apps for all these things. Those of you who are used to rooting, unlocking the bootloader, and changing the ROM, will think that these are silly, but for those who only want a mobile that works very well and carries everything, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is the perfect mobile.

While it is normal to criticize the lack of new hardware in main elements, the truth is that we should not fall into the error of prejudging the smartphone just for that, because most likely we are talking about the smartphone of the year, or at least , from the first half of this year 2014.

    I have the s4 mini and I see it well, I mean, the Samsung people are almost going down with this s5, the s4 is better just because the s5 snatches it up in a bit. As for example they have the s4 or the mini and they already change it for the s5 not that I fart for anything in the world I would change my cell ..

    It is clear that the idea is still floating in the air, innovation has been stagnant for now, I hope that some company invests a lot and I say a lot in developing a new technology and that it revolutionizes the mobile phone market again.

    Normally I used iPhone, I wanted to try the S4 and I am sorry, I was dazzled by all the options I had and really of all only 2 or maybe 3 are usable, the rest is unnecessary. I think it is the same case of S5, people will be the victim of being the latest fashion trend and will turn to stores to buy it. For my part, I WILL NOT BUY IT for more wonders than you talk about it.

      The same thing happened with the iPhone 5s that, because it was in the latest fashion, did not look at a device exactly the same as the previous one with two or 3 new things. I mean, do you use two or three applications on the s4 and do more on the 5s? tell me what it feels like to know that without the jailbreak you have a 600 euro junk that

    if apple brings out few news (the same pu @ # 4 phone in the last 2 years with 4 new things, id reader that the first one to include it was the motorola atrix but as it was not apple nobody recognized it: v) nobody says anything. If Samsung focuses on software and does not provide power, everyone loses their minds. If you want power in a portable device, buy a gamer pc, alienware etc.

    The galaxy s5 will have the dual shot of the camera? Apparently it is a good phone, let's wait to see what the new HTC brings but let's be honest, at this point there is nothing better since comparing the photos that it takes Xperia vs those of the new Samsung there is no difference at first glance, it will be better than many current equipment but for what mobile phones carry now, paying 600 euros now and paying 600 euros 2 years ago with the s3 is still worth it and not because of fashion , but because of what they offer you, it is not only innovation but quality in using innovations, not for nothing Samsung is the leader in sales, the quality of what it sells is far from other brands, I have had everyone's equipment and until now I stay with the galaxy s4 since apple for several years is overrated

    I think the Galaxy S5 is a good phone and possibly the best on the market.
    Not so much for the performance itself ..., but for its software, which is the most advanced of all there is, and for the sensors it brings.
    And that cannot be disputed by anyone.
    Then like everything, it must be recognized that the Speria brings a camera of more MPX and more Ram, but in the most it is below the S5.
