Samsung GALAXY S5 Launches In India, Will Hit The Shelves In April

Galaxy Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Galaxy Fit get a price tag as well.

 

Samsung has sold 3,500,000 Galaxy devices in India so far, and in a bid to maintain its frantic growth has finally launched its new Galaxy S5 flagship. The phone which sports a true octa-core processor made its debut at the Mobile World Congress at Barcelona, and was unveiled in India today at a price of Rs 51,000-53,000.

The phone features a 5.1-inch Full HD Amoled screen and is powered by an Octa-Core Exynos 5422 (A15 1.9 GHz ＋ A7 1.3 GHz) processor with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing. The phone in India will not sport the Snapdragon 801 chip that was announced for the global model. The S5 runs the latest version of Android 4.4 (KitKat). There's 2 GB RAM, 16/32 GB internal storage, microSD card slot, and 2800 mAh battery. The camera module has been upgraded to 16 megapixels. Samsung claims that the handset has the world's fastest autofocus speed up to 0.3 seconds.

The company has also added Selective Focus feature, which is a rip off of Nokia's Refocus app. For those not in the know, this software allows users to focus on a specific object while blurring out the background. The camera is capable of 4K recording at 30 fps as well.



Samsung's latest flagship also sports a 'Finger Print Scanner'. This biometric technology will be used for unlocking the phone and for authorising app purchases. The S5 also comes with a unique heart rate monitor, which works with Samsung's S Health 3.0 app suite. The S5 will be available in charcoal Black, shimmery White, electric Blue, and copper Gold.



Samsung also launched its range of GALAXY Gear devices at the event. The Galaxy Gear 2 is priced at Rs 21,900, while both the GALAXY Gear 2 Neo and the GALAXY Fit are priced at Rs 15,900 each. All the devices launched will hit the shelves and go on sale online on the 11th of April 2014.
