so it's going to kick it off with number five and that is the I don't know what is number five Heisenberg today's video is brought to you by audible hey guys johnathan euro TLD I hope you guys have a fantastic week Day weekend whenever you may be watching this today we are talking galaxy s5 I know it's officially been released for a few days now but I kind of wanted to sit back and kind of gather my thoughts and really assess how I felt about it because going into it I had so many high hopes for the Galaxy s5 once the leak started happening and it was officially released I gotta admit I was honestly a little disappointed and I was not able to make it out to New York where they had a hands-on on the galaxy s5 but fortunately my good buddy marques who most you guys more than likely know was down to lend me some of the footage he shot to use for this video so huge thanks to marques and definitely check out his first impressions if you haven't already which is linked down below now I'm sure myself like many of you guys out there were crossing their fingers that this was finally going to be the year that Samsung gets the plastic design and actually busted out a premium well built flagship phone but of course that did not happen but don't fret too bad because we do have that beautiful Gold Edition band-aid galaxy s5 which honestly kind of looks like someone jacked minuses fugly stick duct taped a golf ball to it smack the galaxy s4 right in the face and out came this monstrosity now interestingly enough when I was putting my notes together for this video if you go on samsung's website they actually only give you a closer look at three out of the four colors so black is there why does there my personal favorite blue is there but nowhere to be found is that ugly Gold Edition so do you think that Samsung is possibly maybe a little ashamed of the gold colored galaxy s5 let me know what you guys think I would love to hear your opinion so like I said my favorite colors blue but I'm also curious to see what your favorite color out of the four is is a blue like mine is it white is it black or do you happen to like that Gold Edition Galaxy s5 if you did happen to like that golem I actually found some pretty awesome accessories that'll actually match that pretty well you guys want to check those out linked down below now real quickly for those of you who follow the channel know that recently I just got the universal audio Apollo twin interface at house been testing it out and I'm actually using it to record audio for this you know right now as we speak so let me know what you guys think of the audio quality if it's good leave a thumbs up if you absolutely hate it and you think it's bad even thumbs down I'm just curious to see what you guys think now on top of the lack of build quality improvements there really wasn't a whole lot spec wise either it was a pretty minimalistic update we went from essentially a 5-inch screen on the Galaxy s4 up to a 5.1 inch screen on the Galaxy s5 same 1080p resolution so no q HD or anything like that and really the bulk of the updates came from features which I'm going to break down in this video last year I did a top 5 features on the galaxy s4 which did really well so I thought you guys might enjoy a top 5 on the galaxy s5 so it's going to kick it off with feature number 5 and that is the heart rate sensor so how it works is right below the camera that is the heart rate sensor you place your finger right there on the back and it will actually measure your heart rate now I've seen some people out there kind of dismiss this feature but I actually found it really useful because let's face it all of us carry our phones with us all the time so anything that adds convenience to our lives and equates to one less thing we have to carry I am all for one of the biggest reasons why I enjoy the iPhone 5s is mainly due to the m7 coprocessor which helps with motion tracking I always have that on me and it makes for an awesome pedometer the integration with the apps the ability to recall previous information so for example if you just installed a new fitness app it will actually recall the previous information on your walking steps because it is actually stored on to the chip so I think with the galaxy s5 having the heart rate sensor built-in it gives us that potential to be useful like the m7 coprocessor on the iPhone 5s plus the integration with the gear 2 and gear fit looks kind of awesome I don't know about you guys but something about that gear fit is kind of sexy next up covenant number four is the ultra power saving mode because I don't know about you guys but to me battery life is extremely important now to begin with the galaxy s5 features a 2800 milliamp hour battery which is not amazing but still pretty solid because to me as much as technology has advanced in terms of smart phones with displays processors and graphics and things like that batteries are still the bottleneck and there's still the weakest points of smart phones I find myself fascinated by external battery packs I'm not sure why maybe it's just the satisfaction or comfort of knowing that I had that extra juice I caught myself on Twitter the other day tweeting out a shiny new external battery that I saw from new trend is really thin and I think that's really because we haven't got to that point where batteries are as good as everything else on the smartphone's so the fact that the galaxy s5 does have a battery extending feature is important to me so you have your standard power saver mode which is kind of what we've all seen before and now there is ultra power saving mode which actually turn everything into black and white to really conserve battery power so in the case where you don't have an external battery or anywhere to charge up hopefully this will come in handy so next up coming in at number three is the fact that the galaxy s5 is ip67 dust proof and water resistant not to be confused with water proof water resistant now if you're curious on what the heck IP 67 means exactly if we break it down individually IP stands for ingress protection or international protection and is essentially a rated system of how well the externals protect the internals of an electronic product so the first number ranges from zero to six six beam complete protection of dust and the second number ranges from zero to eight in this case seven meaning protection against temporary immersion between fifteen centimetres and one metre for up to thirty minutes now the Galaxy s5 was IP 68 rated that would have mantid had protection against long periods of immersion over one meter and under pressure so fluid I kind of helped break it down one thing I did notice though is at the cost of it being dust proof and water resistant is now the USB port is covered up which I personally find kind of annoying some people really don't mind it but I personally find it kind of cumbersome am I crazy or do you guys agree with me so now we were down to the final two of my top five galaxy s5 features that is a lot of fires going on and I think these could have gone either way but my pick for number two is the fingerprint reader now cue the Apple comments because yes I know the iPhone 5s does have the fingerprint reader aka the touch ID sensor but it's actually a little bit different on the galaxy s5 in the sense that the API is actually open to developers as opposed to closed off like on the iPhone 5s now that can go either way in terms of security how do you guys feel about that being open to developers but it's kind of cool in the sense that you can now log into your PayPal account with your fingerprint something that you cannot do on the iPhone 5s now as far as how well it works and how accurate is going to be that is only to be determined and I definitely will let you guys know once I get the galaxy s5 in-house and bring you my full review now closing off my list at number one is actually the camera because the bed of the camera the more I'm going to use it unless I have to rely bringing something else with me to capture good photos or even video so it's obvious that Samsung is a fan of the bigger-is-better theme because they just keep throwing megapixels at us the galaxy s5 now features a 16 megapixel rear facing shooter which will also record video up to you HD resolution which comes in at 3840 by 2160 now one thing I'm curious about and if anybody can answer this definitely let me know is if the 4k recording also has image stabilization on the website it says there is image stabilization with video recording but I'm not sure if that applies to 4k recording because as you may recall the Galaxy Note 3 does also have 4k recording but there is no image stabilization on that now the galaxy s5 also features a 2 megapixel front facing shooter that shoots 1080p with a wide-angle lens not a huge improvement there but aside from the numbers and the specs a lot of the improvements at upgrades actually come from within the camera software there's faster autofocus which is always a plus real-time HDR allows you to preview HDR mode live as you're looking through the video or the photos so you don't have to wait till after the fact to actually see what that will look like and then lastly selective focus allows you to really pinpoint the subject by blurring out the background and giving you more detail on that subject so that wraps up my top 5 galaxy s5 features definitely let me know your favorite feature with a comment down below was it one of mine or was it something completely different hopefully you guys enjoy the video if you did and you are feeling like being awesome make sure to hit that like
