New Dehli, Feb 28- The Samsung Galaxy S5 was unveiled at the ongoing Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014 with much fanfare but without any price tag.
Reports on several tech websites suggest that the South Korean tech plans to sell the device at a price less than its predecessor, the Galaxy S4.
In April 2013, the Galaxy S4 was launched in India for Rs.41,500. It became the fastest selling Android phone within two months of its global release.
Reports also suggest that the world’s largest smartphone maker is talking to mobile carriers to decide an official price for the S5 which it intends to keep lower than Sony Xperia Z2.
The Galaxy S5 will start selling in 150 countries from April 11, 2014.
The successor to Samsung’s best seller, the Galaxy S4, as expected, has come with a host of new features and better specifications. Heart-rate monitor and fingerprint sensor are its notable features.
The Galaxy S5 comes with a 5.10-inch Super AMOLED (1080 X 1920p) display that is slightly bigger than the Galaxy S4. The Galaxy S5 sports a 16-megapixel rear camera and a 2.1-megapixel front camera with ability to capture 4K video. What makes the camera different is its auto-focus speed which, Samsung claims, is 0.3 seconds, the fastest ever.
On the specifications front, the S5 has a 2.5GHz processor, 2GB RAM, 2800mAh battery. It runs on the latest Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat.
