Samsung Galaxy S5 is an Android smart phone produced by Samsung Electronics. As with the S4, the S5 is an evolution of the prior year's model, placing a particular emphasis on an improved build with a textured rear cover and IP67 certification for dust and water resistance, a more refined user experience, new security features such as a fingerprint reader and private mode, expanded health features and an updated camera.

You can easily take rich, vivid photos and videos, even in challenging light conditions.

Ultra Power Saving Mode changes your screen to black and white and shuts down unnecessary features to dramatically minimize battery use.
