Samsung launch Galaxy S5

At a global event launch in Barcelona, Samsung have released the new Galaxy S5 smart phone, which is expected to go on sale in over 100 markets on 11-April-2014.

One of the biggest changes is the new S5 will be IP67 certified meaning it is resistant to dust and water, finally combining the smart phone with the tough phone.  The S5 will follow the iPhone 5S lead and feature a biometric scanner (fingerprint reader)

The new camera will be 16MP with HDR and ability to focus in just 0.3sec, next to the camera and flash is a heart rate monitor, a new innovation for smart phones, however the S5 wont feature the 8 core processor that some of its S4 predecessors did, coming with a quad core 2.5GHz processor.
