Samsung S5

The Samsung S5 release date is almost here and i know for a fact that Jamaicans are huge fans of the Samsung brand. On the other hand i don't like to follow the crowd...i like unusual and uncommon things plus i don't see any major changes that the Samsung S5 is bringing to the table it only has the most recent updates that all android phones are implementing and the camera features are not so impressive coming from a S4 I9506 Galaxy perspective.

Main Differences

-The S5 is a bit heavier 
-Fingerprint sensor (PayPal certified)
- IP67 certified - dust and water resistant
- Water resistant up to 1 meter and 30 minutes
- 128 GB (external storage) compare to previous 64GB
- 16MP Camera - compare to previous 13MP
- Talk time up to 21Hrs compare to previous 17Hrs
