The excellent galaxy s5, Samsung’s flagship phone of 2014, makes a return in a slightly different form. Samsung knows that even though the note 5 and s6 phones are excellent devices that showcase the pinnacle of android power, the galaxy s5 is no slow couch either and it still gives most of the phones on the market a run for their money.
To cash in on the superphone series and yet make it affordable so that the middle class consumers can buy the phone, Samsung has generally kept the price of its neo phone reasonably low. The pricing and availability of the s5 neo hasn’t been announced yet. The phone is called as the galaxy s5 new edition in brazil and s5 neo elsewhere.
As far as the specs are concerned, the internals are similar to the s5 released last year. What’s even better is that Samsung has ungraded certain aspects such as the camera, battery and available colours to suit the consumers in 2015 better. For starters, the s5neo retains the same cutting edge 16 MP camera with HDR and the 5 MP snapper for selfies.
The display is a full hd 5.1-inch super amoled screen capable of producing vivid colours. An octacore processor with 1.6GHZ frequency run the show. That one is likely to be Samsung made exynos processor. There is 2gb ram and 16 GB internal memory. With the removable battery marks the comeback of the expandable storage. You can put in a micro SD card of up to 128 GB capacity and all this comes in a light package of 145 grams.
The star of the show will remain the IP67 rating. The phone is dust proof and water resistant up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The android version that is available is the 5.1. the phone also has dual sim capabilities and will be compatible with the Samsung latest gear smartwatches.
