We have all been waiting for the announcement of Galaxy S5 smartphone from Samsung,and now finally its official. The device looks little slimmer and larger than the previous model Galaxy S4, it is also worth noting that the company has incorporated the awkward looking micro USB 3 port in the device just like the Galaxy Note 3
SIZE COMPARISON OF THE GALAXY S5
The design of the phone is completely revamped although the front looks like any other Galaxy Smartphone. The rear panel of the phone has a texture with dots on it. Another thing worth noting is that the Galaxy S5 has a slightly bigger home button compared to other Galaxy devices, well that may be due to the built-in finger print scanner that’s embedded in the home button.
The bottom of the phone has the Multi-tasking button, Home button and the back key. Only the home button is physical one and rest 2 are capacitive touch buttons

The screen grew up only a bit and it kept the 1080p resolution rather than going to QHD.
The camera does, however, record UHD video - Samsung's initial information was for 1080p, but we can now confirm it's really 4K UHD (2160p).
Samsung does maintain the clockspeed advantage with a rare Snapdragon 800 chipset and while the fingerprint scanner was no surprise, the heart rate monitor certainly is.
TouchWiz was a bit of a surprise too. We got pumped up for a brand new flat version of Samsung's custom UI.
The back of the device is a new iteration of Samsung's leather-like plastic, with what looks like perforated holes. It only looks like it though, the Galaxy S5 is IP67 certified
