Samsung decided to build this device with an exceptional Quad-Core processing unit speeding at 2500 megahertz, packed into the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 chip with a big 2 GB RAM memory. Graphic intensive apps and games often eats a lot of CPU processing time, so this device has an extra Adreno 420 graphics processing unit running at 500 MHz to take some work out of the processor. A nice advantage of this phone is its big 16 GB internal storage memory and a slot for an SD memory card, allowing you to store hundreds of apps and games without worrying about space.

This cellphone provides WiFi capability (and it can provide it to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) high performance data connection and also HSPA+ internet connection, which is a slower 4G variation and 3G fast connection type, over HSDPA, HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a Micro SIM card to use GSM services.

The S5 has two cameras, a 16 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 2.1 megapixels front camera. Its back-facing camera lens has a F2.2 aperture so it can shoot beautiful pictures even in low-light environments. It also shoots 4K 3840x2160 videos at 30 frames per second, and slow motion videos in 1280x720 (HD) at 120 fps (4 times slower than regular videos). This camera also has a lot of useful characteristics like flash, fast burst mode, auto-focus, digital image stabilization, HDR mode, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

The S5 uses a 2800 mAh massive Li-Ion removable battery providing this cellphone an extremely long battery life.

The S5 also features a lot of interesting features such as Fingerprint unlock, Near Field Communication (NFC), Infrared Blaster, Bluetooth and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Barometer and Compass.
