Today a Mobile World Congress Samsung announced the 5th generation of their flagship Android phone the Galaxy S5. The phone is an evolution of the S4 with a 5.1 inch display running at 1920 x 1080, the main upgrades seem to be a 16MP camera. Other changes seem to be a finger scanner, dust and water resistant and the choice of colours: charcoal Black, shimmery White, electric Blue and copper Gold. I have to say for me there is nothing to exciting about the S5, it seems like a continuation of the S range and I am sure it will be a big seller. Here are the full specs:
