NEW Samsung Galaxy S5 Unboxing and Overview

2014-04-11
what's going on everyone it's ravage consumer and today I've gotten them boxing for you guys of the brand new Samsung Galaxy s5 now this is Samsung's latest flagship device and in this video we're gonna go over what you get inside the box and also how different it is from the galaxy s4 so let's not waste any time let's get right into it and alright guys here we have the Samsung Galaxy s5 this is Samsung's latest device it's a pretty standard box is the same kind of box that Samsung has been going with for the last couple of years in the back we do have some specs listed so its 4G LTE capable it has a smart remote so it has two IR blaster so you can control your TV with it it has a Fitness heartrate monitor so that's pretty much a gimmick but we'll get into that later it's running the latest version of Android that's which is 4.4.2 I believe it's got a 5.1 F HD Super AMOLED display a 2.5 gigahertz quad-core processor I think it's a Snapdragon 801 chip I believe it's got a 16 megapixel rear facing camera and a 2 megapixel front facing camera and of course it records in HD in Full 1080p and I believe also 4k so now let's actually get inside the box so we'll pop this thing out and we can throw this right over here and here we have it now the guys at t-mobile love getting inside people's boxes and you know setting up the device for them so they already busted my tape open so no one boxing knife for this one but let's get inside luckily I told them don't setup anything because I want it to be as is for this video now I did get the black version this is also 16 gigabyte and we're gonna just put the phone to the side tons of stickers and whatnot all over this thing but we'll get back to it and inside you have your SIM card so you can pop your sim in and let's get past that and let's see what else we've got inside the box now this is typical Samsung packaging really the same things you'd expect from like any of their Galaxy products so of course you get your start guide and along with it you have just our guide accessory guide and as well as some warranty and safety information so we'll put the booklets to the side also you get in the t-mobile version you get a limited warranty booklet as well as some merchandise return label just in case you want to recycle some of your older handsets so now with all the paperwork out of the way here we have the USB cable now what's interesting about this cable is that it isn't your standard micro USB this is a USB 3.0 cable so you can discharge this with USB 3.0 so you're gonna get much faster charge times this shouldn't make it really quick and you can usually tell it's a USB 3.0 cable when it has the blue on the USB part as well as the longer portion that goes into the actual phone so it's got a little extended part and this is a very very thick cable guys very thick and it's really um got some good length to it so you're gonna be able to probably charge this on your in a wall adapter and still be able to put it like on a desk or a nightstand so it's good when cables have good length and this is pretty thick so it should have some longevity as well hopefully now you also get your standard wall charger so this is the same kind of wall charger that you could come to expect from Galaxy products so this is to help the charge up real quickly and let's see you also get these earbuds so these are Samsung earbuds now when you open these up and you actually take a look at it they're pretty decent in ear buds but what I really like about the buds is that it has a remote so it has a play and pause button as well as volume controls volume controls our rarity amongst Android devices and it's really cool that Samsung you know comes out with their own ear buds and that actually support that feature so volume controls are here as well as the play and pause so you can answer calls playing pause your music and control over volume great great stuff really love that Samsung does that and then also included are some ear tips so you have different sizes for those ear buds so if you have small ears you can use the small if you have large as large and I believe the medium probably come on it already and you also get a pretty large battery here and this is a 2800 milliamp battery so that should give some pretty decent battery life I'm really looking forward to that The Stand this is becoming the standard I'm really happy seeing that companies are coming out with batteries above 2500 milliamps so the really good stuff so I'm gonna put this over to the side and I think that is about it for everything else that comes in the box and real quick just to go over what we got inside the box again we have the battery the in earbuds some extra ear tips just in case you need them and as well as the wall adapter and the USB cable along with a bunch of booklets and manuals and stuff so we can put all this stuff away now and get here cleaned up in alright guys so here we have it this is the galaxy s5 this is the black version and like I said this has tons and tons of plastic all over it but what it does say up front is that it is the galaxy s5 and it's got a Super AMOLED Full HD display so it's 1080p and you've got the Android technology Bluetooth and NFC so all that good stuff is packed into this and in the back we've got some instructions on how to actually place the cover onto the back now I'll kind of want to get into this phone and see what it looks like already so let me pull this thing over pull it over here and get rid of this now this just feels like an excessive amount of plastic so get rid of that and we've got some plastic around the sides as well so we're gonna get rid of those and let's see a couple of things here and boom that's about it now this is really light without the battery guys very very light so I'm going to put in the battery now and I'm gonna give you guys a quick close-up of what's actually going on inside of the back so on the right side you'll see that there's a little piece that you can actually use your thumbnail to kind of just pry open and then you can get a look inside the back and just taking a look at the back of the case guys you can see that it has this little seal going around it and that's because this is actually waterproof and dustproof so you can actually submerge the Galaxy s5 for under I guess a bottom meter and then you can do that for about 30 minutes but I think some people have tested and seen that it can go longer than that but that's what they say that you can do with this so that's pretty cool so if this happens to fall in your toilet you're not screwed okay so this is pretty good so also in the back here you have your micro SD card so you can actually put in a up to a 128 gigs of storage so even though it has 16 gigs you can put up to 128 so depending on how much you want to spend you can upgrade them the storage on this quite a bit and pretty much that's about it so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna install this battery and then give you guys a quick tour of the entire device alright guys so here we have it this is the galaxy s5 so we'll start with the front and see what's up front so up top like I mentioned it has a 2 megapixel front facing camera and it's got a couple of sensors here as well and towards the bottom you have your home button now what's interesting about this home button is that it's actually a fingerprint scanner similar to the iPhone 5 but it's a bit different in that you can't use it the same way you can't just place your finger on it you have to swipe it so it's still different but I'll go over that in the review and let you guys know how that works and it also has some capacitive buttons you have your back button here as well as your recent app button so that's the front of it and on the left side you will have your volume rocker which is pretty standard and on your right side you have your power button and on the bottom of the phone you see something pretty interesting it has a little flap that that gives you access to where you can charge it so with this flap this is what helps it to remain waterproof and dust resistant so you can actually use this flap to protect it now people hate flaps because it's inconvenient whenever you want to throw this thing on the charger you have to pull it open but I mean it does add to the phone it does add a little feature but it can be inconvenient of inconvenience whenever you want to get a quick charge and you always have to pull it off and I'm sure that this thing gets flimsy after a while but like I said this uses a USB 3.0 cable so that is can charge up you know pretty quickly it has a large battery but if you don't happen to have a USB 3.0 cable like the one that comes with it you can still use a micro usb-cable a pretty normal one and still charge it it won't charge us quickly but it'll still get the job done and at the top of the phone you'll see that it has a 3.5 millimeter headphone jack and this little part right here is the IR blaster so you will be able to control your TV with this and it has a couple of microphones all over the bottom the top all kinds of stuff now the back of the phone is where you have your speaker at the bottom left hand corner now I'm not a fan of this speaker at all especially considering the HTC One has the two boom sound speakers that sound amazing so I'm not expecting much from the speaker at all and also you have your fingerprint scanner here like I said guys before it's pretty much a gimmick there are other ways to do this I believe I heard that you can kind of check that stuff out with a flashing camera now honestly I've never ever cared about you know checking my heart rate on my cell phone so when Samsung said that they did their research and they heard that customers really want that I was pretty confused I didn't know that was a criteria for people to want to get their fitness on with their phone but man anyway it has a 16 megapixel camera up there as well and of course you know you have your flash there so you've got all that good stuff that you come to expect and was pretty cool about this camera is that it also records in 4k so that's gonna be pretty cool it doesn't have optical image stabilization so you might get some shaky videos but overall it's cool that it can do that regardless and now talking about this back now the back actually feels way way better than I expected I thought it was gonna feel like something pretty cheap but this actually feels pretty good in the hand I actually like it I do like the little grip that I'm getting from this this is a pretty nice feel to me but it is still plastic at the end of the day and it's still really light and pretty much that's it guys this is the galaxy s5 it has a similar look to the galaxy s4 and the note 3 it's like a hybrid between the two the overall shape of it it's like the note 3 but it does have the size of like the galaxy s4 so there's like a bit of a hybrid there so now let's turn this thing on and see what we're greeted with now as you guys can see it's a samsung galaxy five powered by Android and of course the typical Samsung logo t-mobile version so it's got fourth G LTE so I'm gonna set this guy up and then I'm gonna give you guys a brief overview of what you can get once you get it started alright guys so right now it's going through the setup process downloading a bunch of my apps all that good stuff I'm just gonna show you guys quickly what it looks like when you you know go through the first couple of things so when you go to the left here you have the my magazine this is kind of like samsung's version of blinkfeed if you know what that is this is where you can get all of your updates you can get news articles your social media can be attached to here you can do all kinds of stuff so you can get all your updates when you just swipe over to the left so to the on the regular screen you have the ok Google that has the search bar there and what's really cool is that even though this is TouchWiz you can still just say ok Google and have that pop up with HTC One you can't do that usually can only do that with Nexus devices so that's really cool that they have that here and this is the little clock widget that they have they have the S health here so a couple of different things and pretty much this is it it's really smooth so far the only time you seems to lag is when it goes into this my magazine it doesn't it's not the fastest transition but when you're going through the other pages you can see how quickly these move but when it comes to that it takes its time so going through the rest of the apps pretty quick stuff pretty simple so let's take a look at the notifications as these have changed quite a bit so as you can see the design has changed up a little bit so when you go into your settings it still has that same design as you can see with the notifications where you can turn on different little features different toggles so you have all of those so let's actually go into the settings and you can see here it has quick settings and all kinds of different little things so you have a lot of options here typically there's that list format but there's this little thumbnail version so it's kind of like apps within your settings so different cool stuff here I actually like this view it's actually pretty easy to digest what's actually in your settings because they have like little pictures and icons so this is pretty cool and pretty much this is it I'm going to have a bunch of videos I'm going to be comparing this to other phones tell me guys what phones you want this to be compared to I do have the HTC One m8 a heavy Nexus 5 the iPhone 5 six on hand so I have a bunch of different devices let me know what you want to see this compared to what kind of videos you'd like to see about this device and anything else you want to see let me know so that's about it for this unboxing guys hopefully you enjoyed it it was a quick overview of everything you can expect and if you enjoyed it definitely be the cool guy that hits the like
