Like the last iPhone 5S, the new Galaxy S5 also has the ability to scan a fingerprint that allows you unlock the device without passwords. In addition it is resistant to dust and water by IP67 standard. Compared to the previous generation S5 has improved battery which can with a single charge allow user to surf for 10 hours, or watch video for 12.  Galaxy S5 will be released for sale worldwide in April of this year.

[Ed - many people were expecting Samsung to bring more to the table than what was seen in the S5 and rightly so. Samsung has criticized Apple in the past for their lack of real innovation and now find themselves the target of the same cirticism. We have to agree that many will pan this phone, but considering the options out there, we are not sure that it will really lose Samsung any sales.]
