We have just gotten a new Samsung Galaxy S5 and it is time for an unboxing video. The official retail unit that we have comes in Charcoal Black colour and has 16GB on-board which is the standard size available in Malaysia. The packaging is pretty much the same as before with a wooden grain pattern. It is made out of environmental friendly materials and is printed with soy-based ink.
Inside you get a new 3-prong charger which comes in a single piece design that’s more compact than before. The previous chargers from Samsung usually come in 2 pieces, which is cumbersome to pack. The charger is rated at 2.0 Amp, which should charge the Galaxy S5 fairly quickly. You’ll also get the standard pair of in-ear headphones and a couple of extra ear buds of different sizes.
While the Galaxy S5 supports micro USB 3.0 like the Galaxy Note 3, the box came with a standard micro USB 2.0 cable. Charging wise, it shouldn’t make much of a difference however if you wish to transfer files at faster rates, you would need to get a micro USB 3.0 cable that comes with a wider head.
Just to recap on the specs, the Galaxy S5 features a 5.1″ Full HD AMOLED display and it’s running on the latest 2.5GHz Quad-Core Snapdragon 801 processor with 2GB of RAM. It gets a 16MP camera that shoots 4K videos while the front comes with a 2MP camera. New on the Galaxy S5 is a fingerprint scanner on the home button while the back features a heart rate sensor. The battery on the Galaxy S5 is bigger than before with a 2,800mAh removable battery. This time, Samsung has also added water and dust resistance to the Galaxy S5 with IP67 rating. Since the back cover is removable, you’ll need to be extra sure that the back cover and micro-USB flap cover is closed properly to prevent water from seeping into the device.
Check out our Galaxy S5 unboxing video after the break with additional images of the box contents.
