J'aime pas du tout l'arrière

Moi non plus et à nouveau cette fausse bordure métallique.

Cette fois sans moi je pense.

Bah, bon, mon Note 3 a des beaux jours devant lui en ma compagnie

Par contre résistance à la flotte et capteur biométrique sous le bouton home.

 

Je trouve pas très beau (Mais j'ai jamais trouvé un Samsung vraiement beau, faut dire). Attendons les rendus finaux.

[Bobby]

ouais bah ça ne me convainc pas franchement tout ça... Elle est la version prime ? :p à voir mais pas emballé du tout jusqu'ici

[= phil =]

Ce sera sans moi. J'attends le Sony Z2 ou le LG G3

Samsung Galaxy S5 has just leaked in live photos, specs and details. Some ingenious reader managed to guess the link to a hidden article over Pocket-Lint.com and downloaded everything about the upcoming flagship smartphone.

So, the Galaxy S5 packs a 5.0" SuperAMOLED display with 1080p resolution, not much of an upgrade over its predecessor.

The camera got a significant update though - it's now a 16MP one with just 0.3s shot-to-shot time, selective focus and 4K video recording. The Selective Focus seems to be similar to Nokia's Refocus app - it shoots a picture and you can choose the focus after the fact.

There is also HDR Live - you can now see how the HDR photo will look like even before you take it.

Another new addition is the heart rate monitor placed just below the rear camera under to the LED flash. You just need to put you index finger there and the device will tell you your heart rate. Apparently Samsung Galaxy S5 will focus on fitness apps (S-Health 3.0 on board), especially with Samsung's newest wearables having a heart rate monitor, too.

Galaxy S5 will come with a fingerprint sensor (who would have guessed!) and it will be embedded in the Home key. You will need to swipe your finger 8 times to record it and after that you will be able to unlock the S5 with your fingerprint. You can also authorize PayPal payments with just a single swipe of your registered finger.

Finally, the Galaxy S5 will be water and dust proof. This means we are probably not getting an Active version as it was with the Galaxy S4.

Other specs we managed to collect over all leaked articles are USB 3.0 port, LTE connectivity with download booster mode where you can use both Wi-Fi and LTE for super-fast downloads, Android 4.4 KitKat with support for OK, Google command to launch Google Now anywhere, new TouchWiz skin with flat and round icons (probably the same as the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 slate).

Unfortunately, the design of the Galaxy S5 is nothing ground-breaking. The front looks quite the same as the previous Galaxy S4, though the back features a matte plastic with some dotted texture. If the previous leak is to be trusted, the Galaxy S5 will become available in black, white and gold colors.

The official announcement is this evening and we'll be there to cover it as it unfolds. Stay tuned for our hands-in impressions!

c'est bien bien meme avant les pres officiels on sait tout sur les téléphones. Prefere le z2 pour le moment

[Brice]

Ce sera sans moi. J'attends le Sony Z2 ou le LG G3

 

J'attends le G2 pro et le G3 aussi du coup ... la je comprend pas Samsung sur le coup car l'agrandir un peu plus je pense que c'était vraiment pas nécessaire et du coup ça le rapproche encore plus du Note 3 niveau gabarit et a choisir entre les deux franchement pour le peu de différence de taille je prend le Note 3 sans hésiter

[Bobby]

idem, je ne comprends pas du tout le choix. Ils n'auront peut-être pas réussi à garder la compacité et le IP5x, contrairement à sony....

en tout cas si une deuxième version plus punchy ne sort pas, je regarderai du coté de LG cette année

[Brice]

On vas attendre la présentation officielle peut qu'un truc nous as échappé mais la franchement je comprend pas ... ou alors il y auras un S5 mini aussi grand que l'ancien S4 et un S5 super mini

[Davidsic]

Je suis du même avis général mais je me prononcerai après la conférence que je vais suivre en direct

Introduction

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is official - and it's not what we expected. Rumors got a few details right, but not the whole picture, obviously. After so many updates and sequels to the S4, it's perhaps not all that surprising that the S5 feels like a small step forward.

Samsung Galaxy S5 at a glance:

• General: 2G, 3G and 4G LTE connectivity
• Form factor: Touchscreen bar phone
• Dimensions: 142 x 72.5 x 8.1mm, 145 g
• Display: 5.1" 16M-color Super AMOLED HD capacitive touchscreen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels (431ppi)
• Chipset: Snapdragon 800 MSM8974-AC
• CPU: 2.5GHz Krait 400
• GPU: Adreno 330
• RAM: 2GB
• OS: Android 4.4.2 (KitKat)
• Memory: 16/32GB storage, microSD card slot
• Still camera: 16 megapixel auto-focus camera
• Video camera: Full HD (1080p) video recording
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi a/b/g/n/ac, Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 3.0 with MHL, GPS receiver with A-GPS and GLONASS, 3.5mm audio jack, NFC, Infrared port
• Battery: 2800mAh
• Misc: Fingerprint scanner, heart rate monitor, humidity sensor, temperature sensor

The screen grew up only a bit and it kept the 1080p resolution rather than going to QHD. The camera update also shows restraint - a 16MP shooter with 1080p video capture, not the 20MP/2160p monster some rumors saw coming.

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, but the reality is closer to what we saw on the new Galaxy Pro tablets.
