The King of Android - MeriStation

series smartphones high-end Samsung , Galaxy , spent years dominating the market Android with each new release, terminals that have enjoyed wide acceptance by the general public and always manage to rise above the competition in terms of performance and perceived quality; but things are changing. We could already with S4 Galaxy see as Samsung ceded part of its market share for smartphones as attractive as benefits and services, companies like Sony and LG, among others, that are its Xperia series Z or G , respectively, captured the attention of thousands of Android users. The mobile industry moves at a speed of stroke, whereby we receive and review new models with ever shorter. Thus, after the presentation of the new handsets by Sony , LG , HTC or Google with your Nexus 5 -addition and next Huawei Ascend P7 – this 2014, Samsung has moved tab brings his brand new Galaxy S5 recently presented the MWC Barcelona – a somewhat conservative terminal to the Galaxy S4 but with a very solid base. Will it be enough to withstand the assault of competition to snatch as desired position in the Android ecosystem? Then put the data on the table to decide which Android terminal it seems the most attractive and recommendable.

Samsung Galaxy S5
smartphone most desired Android recently reached its fifth edition with the Galaxy S5 a very continuity-perhaps too-terminal than its predecessor but still attracting the interest of millions of users worldwide. Its technical characteristics are most dropouts, since uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor 801 quad core 2.5 GHz, 2 GB of RAM, 16 or 32GB of internal memory expandable via microSD card and many connections as LTE, NFC, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, BT LE 4.0 or USB 3.0, all under Android 4.4.2 OS with TouchWiz KitKat . Their SuperAMOLED screen comes to 5.1 inches and has a resolution of 1080 with a density of 432 dpi. The rear camera is 16 megapixels with 1/2.6 inch CMOS sensor and is capable of recording video at UHD resolution; the front camera 2 megapixel stays. Its removable 2,800 mAh battery reaches and comes with a number of secondary characteristics like fingerprint sensor, heart rate monitor and at last resistance to water and dust with IP67 certification.

As you see, this is a pointer terminal and more than capable against the competition; But what can we say about its exterior design? In this sense it has been below the excellent level of other terminals as the latest models from Sony or LG. And if we put the S4 and S5 side by side, the differences are few that find aesthetically beyond the increase in size and forms a substantially straighter ; on the other hand, finish and materials are not to the level of competition, although it does offer weight and thick enough content , with a good level of shock resistance. Its back cover, beyond personal tastes, offers good grip thanks to its design but the front plastic frame fails to convince. Yes it is a premium smartphone , but has been left hook against other high-end Android handsets in terms of perceived quality.

As a novelty, we can now immerse the terminal to a meter in depth no more than thirty minutes thanks to its IP67 certification; but what’s most striking is its new Galaxy S5 fingerprint sensor located on the start button in response to Touch ID Apple , although it is somewhat uncomfortable due to the size of the terminal and its own use, as we move the finger up and down, all to unlock the terminal identifier or buy online . Moreover, the heart rate monitor located on the back cover comes as curiosity associated with various sports and health applications. As for the sound does not offer all that is expected of a terminal of its kind, since it is underpowered and quality below average.

As usual signature, arrives with a comprehensive software package and TouchWiz personalization system, which in truth, we will use for a few minutes as a curiosity after abandon it impractical and so resort to a more comfortable ride. Something that is very useful is the multi-view to display different applications simultaneously and take advantage of their large screen mode. In short, a smartphone the latest in performance but it falls short in design and perceived quality, always face the fiercest competition Android. And all for a negligible price between 600 and 700 euros versions.
