Samsung has included S Health app on the device, which leverages a heart-rate sensor on the GS5's back. The sensor is located just below the device's rear camera and reads your pulse from your fingertip; it can give users a reading in only a few seconds.
Samsung has also incorporated Touch ID sensor on the iPhone 5s, which is located on its home button. It requires users to swipe their finger downward to read the digit.
The device will ship with Android 4.4.2 KitKat with Samsung's user interface fully intact.
Overall, it appears, that the Korean handset maker has tried to retain the success formula of the S4 device, and for the most part, the company seems to be carrying it to the new device. The device is pretty much smooth in processing speed, has nicer feel to it, and offers all the amazing things that the Samsung Galaxy range is capable of doing.
The Galaxy S5 is scheduled to launch globally on April 11th and will be available on all major US carriers.
