Samsung Galaxy S5 Unboxing + Detailed Demo! #Helpful Post

now this is a real-life scenario a dog

in the pool and if I were to

accidentally try to get close up and hey

guys johnathan here with TLD hope you

guys are doing well on I think it's safe

to say we've officially hit that point

of the year where the smartphone craze

is amongst as I just got done covering

the brand new HTC One m8 which if you

did miss I will have annotated right

here and also linked it down below and

now I'm back with my unboxing and more

so impressions of the galaxy s5 after

using it for a couple days so I will

have full reviews very soon for both the

HTC One m8 and the galaxy s5 so

definitely subscribe if you haven't

already you can do that by clicking the

YouTube button right here or I'll have

it linked down below and on top of that

if you're interested in seeing a full

comparison of these two phones let me

know by hitting that like button now

quickly taking a look at the Box you can

see Samsung is still opted to go with

that fake woodgrain design not sure why

they're too crazy about that but we have

the galaxy s5 brand right smack in the

middle with a giant v behind that on the

backside it gives us a quick rundown of

the specs and the features and note your

eyes are not playing games on you it is

definitely in espanol and that is

because it is the imported sm - J 900 H

model so the US models aren't out until

later this month but I was able to get a

hold of this model thanks to a fellow

tech youtuber papi g-funk here on

youtube he does a lot of tech gaming he

gets a crapload of stuff early so big

thanks and I will also have him linked

down in the description now inside the

box aside from the galaxy s5 itself we

have the USB wall charger a USB cable

which is USB 2.0 and even though the

galaxy s5 does support USB 3.0 that is

not included in the box we then have the

battery which is 2800 milliamp hours in

capacity on top of that we have the

headset adjustable ear tips for that

headsets and last but not least e Quick

Start Guide so jumping back and taking a

closer look at the galaxy s5 I think the

biggest thing that stands out at least

to me anyways is dead backplate so by

now we've heard everything from it

looking like a golf ball to a band-aid

and I gotta admit when the galaxy s5 was

first announced I was a little

disappointed in the fact that they stuck

with a plastic build but I wanted to

keep an open mind and after using it for

a few days now those golf ball dimples

actually serve a purpose in the sense

that it provides a pretty solid grip and

it's a much more enjoyable experience

holding the

galaxy s5 as opposed to the galaxy s4

now surprisingly enough for those who

caught my HTC One m8 top five features

video which we did miss I will have

linked it down below one of my favorite

things about that phone was the build

quality but after using each of these

for a few days now even though the m8 is

better built in the galaxy s5 it's kind

of slippery so in terms of ergonomics

and comfort ability and overall just

comfort in your hand I'm actually

enjoying the galaxy s5 more at the

moment now obviously that is just one

element in terms of comparing both

phones so definitely stay tuned for the

full comparison and breakdown so moving

along with the phone right there up top

is the rear-facing 16 megapixel shooter

and I use the crap out of the camera

this weekend and I got to say I was

pleasantly surprised and I will touch

more on that momentarily below that

right above the Samsung logo is the

camera flash and also a heartrate

monitor which I will also touch on

shortly moving towards the bottom left

hand side those two lines right there

actually a dinky little speaker and by

no means are they going to give HTC's

boomsound a run for its money flipping

the phone around up top on the left hand

side we have the IR blaster which is

used to control your TV to the right of

that is the headphone jack and I'm

personally a fan of headphone jacks on

the bottom of phones but that's just me

on the right hand side we have the

sleep/wake button which for me is the

ideal location it's really easy to

access and depress on the left hand side

are the volume rockers and again no

complaints here and for those curious

about microSD card expansion that is

access to removing the backplate just

like previous Galaxy phones

it was also rocking a 5.1 inch 1920 by

1080 display not much bigger than the

Galaxy s4 but it is still fantastic to

look at below that on the left and right

hand side there are two capacitive

buttons the one on the left is used for

recent apps the one on the right is used

for a back button and right smack in the

middle is a physical home button which

also doubles as a fingerprint reader so

real quickly jumping into the

fingerprint reader and not wasting any

time on that to access that you got to

swipe down to access the settings I

really wish you could access that to the

notification panel but even after trying

to customize it it's just not there so

you got to go to settings and on the

bottom left-hand side is the fingerprint

scanner icon from there we can go to the

fingerprint manager you can actually add

up to three separate fingerprints and

after using it for a few days I got to

say it hasn't been the most enjoyable

experience so to start off you gotta

actually swipe your entire thumb

downward it actually seems to recognize

better if you hold the phones or

sit hand but the problem with that is is

it sets it up for a two-handed lock as

opposed to one-handed locking it is

possible to set up for a one-hand unlock

but by no means is it easy or intuitive

if you want a good challenge for

yourself this will do the job so of

course I will continue my analysis and

see how I adjust to it after a few more

days of use and will update you in the

full review now move it along right

below the home button is the USB port of

course it is covered because it does

contribute to the ip67 dustproof

water-resistant feature of the phone and

if we open up that flap you can see it

is USB 3 and 2 compatible so you can use

the included USB 2.0 cable or if you

want to pick up a USB 3.0 cable you can

use that for faster charging now getting

back to that water-resistant feature and

it is important to note it is

water-resistant not waterproof in terms

of certification so it can be submerged

into liquids up to one meter in depth up

to 30 minutes in time and that's just

really in terms of what they can safely

certify it or advertise it as but we're

gonna have some fun actually test it out

for real now I'm not going to throw it

in the goldfish bowl or anything like

that we're gonna be realistic and have

some fun by the pool yeah go get it go

get it

good job melody

now this is a real-life scenario dog in

the pool she's going to get the ball and

if I were to accidentally try to get

close-up and drop it in

there's the water test Hey look at the

ball are you sorry let's go ahead and

pick it up actually let's see if we can

record well

oh-ho melody is slipping all over the

place so we're still recording say

what's up Big Mac focus seems to be all

good and just for one more drew up into

the water tests

you

so surprisingly as you can see it holds

up very well riemeck hey buddy you just

made it onto the video after a water

test

good work rowdy you still don't get the

ball though so continuing on with

Samsung's big features on the galaxy s5

like I previously mentioned this also

features a heartrate monitor I figured

to prepare myself why not do a quick

cardio session with adults

now as far as does it work in the simple

answer of course is yes but as far as

how accurate is I will definitely have

other comparisons with other options in

the full review but in terms of initial

impressions I got to say it's a little

gimmicky and I'm not sure how much I

would actually use this on my phone

continuing on with Samsung's

feature-packed Galaxy s5 the next thing

I checked out was the built in pedometer

now quick disclaimer I haven't got a

chance to set up a SIM card in the

galaxy s5 yet I will do that before the

full review but I'm not sure if it

seemed to pick up more accurately using

Wi-Fi so it may be a data thing but I

will definitely update that with the sim

card in the full review but in terms of

accuracy it was a little bit finicky and

overall I wasn't too impressed with it

as a pedometer next up I want to talk

about the camera which is 16 megapixels

not to be confused with Mega pickles but

like I said I did use it quite a bit

this weekend and I was pleasantly

surprised focusing was really fast and

the overall image quality was really

sharp and vibrant I was really excited

to check out the selective focus on the

galaxy s5 because a little bit different

than how the duo camera works on the m8

on the m8 since there's a camera and a

second sensor it gathers all the

information in one quick shot whereas

the galaxy s5 we kind of got to sit

there focus it and let it process now it

recommends that the object you want to

be in focus is less than 1.5 feet away

from your camera this was actually at a

shoot of one of my other projects the

hungry one I was at a gourmet version of

Taco Bell's breakfast waffle taco except

on steroids

it's loaded with fried chicken bacon

filled waffles and a crazy maple

reduction sauce so if anybody wants to

check that out I will have it linked

down below

move it along with more selective focus

shots you do have to keep your hands

pretty study for the galaxy s5 to

process the image but you can tweak it

afterwards and you can see from these

pictures in the right scenario as the

results are very very impressive so let

me know what you think of how the

quality looks with a comment down below

now as far as video goes we'll first

kick it off with a 1080p test first in a

low-light scenario and it's going to

transition into a well-lit environment

yeah you're busted you are busted kid so

you can see we got really low light

inside it's battling the backlight for

the outdoors

and we're going to go and walk out and

see how that transitions into

outside daylight so let me know what you

guys think of the video quality

obviously I'm sure they low light it's

not gonna look fantastic but as you can

see once we get outside into a better

lit area it's going to look a lot better

so you can see it kind of struggled a

little bit in low-light but if you are

in a well-lit environment it's going to

look really good now a couple days ago I

uploaded a 4k video test for the galaxy

s5 because it is 4k capable or actually

the correct term is UHD ultra-high

definition 3840 by 2160 and a lot of you

were blown away with a quality and the

fact that it can record UHD in itself is

impressive don't get me wrong

but in terms of real world use the

problem with UHD once you enable that on

the galaxy s5 it actually disable

optical image stabilization now myself

because I do a lot of handheld shots

with my normal cameras I tend to have a

more stable grip than most people so I

did want to talk about that and not make

it seem like you're gonna get magical

results out of the galaxy s5 with 4k and

one of the shots that actually applied

stabilization in post-production just to

kind of talk about it because one I

wanted to show that it is possible to

get some pretty awesome results out of

the galaxy s5 if you use it properly but

too at the same time here is what it

looks like without stabilization so that

way I can show you the pros and the cons

of having a feature like this on a

smartphone now of course this video

itself is in 1080p so the footage you're

looking at has been down scaled but if

you want to see the full resolution

version I'll have it linked down below

and also annotate right here in case you

have those toggled on so I think we've

taken a pretty in-depth look at the

features on the galaxy s5 but in terms

of a quick look at the OS and the

software and overall user experience it

is running Android 4.4 KitKat out of the

box so you do have advantages of things

like instant Google now when your

screens on overall it's been pretty snap

you haven't really encountered too much

of that famous Samsung lag so you can

see when we're swiping through home

screens or accessing the app tray it's

pretty quick but I got to say when you

actually swipe left to access the my

magazine feature that animation is

painfully slow very similar to when iOS

7 first came out as usual with Samsung

they smack a ton of stuff on top of

Android so it is nowhere near a pure

vanilla experience but that's kind of

what we've come to expect with Samsung

devices it does still have that TouchWiz

cartoon-like look but it's not as

obtrusive and I got to say I don't hate

it

so I of course Wilkin

continue to test this out and give you

an update in my full review of how I

feel about it and if it's worth picking

up like I mentioned earlier I will also

have a full comparison of this against

the HTC One m8 so definitely stay tuned

and subscribe for that so you don't miss

out on it if you guys have any questions

or there's anything you want to see

covered in the for if you definitely let

me know with a comment down below I do

read every comment and try to reply to

as many of them as I can but it does get

a little bit cumbersome so the absolute

best way to get a hold of me is on

twitter at TLD today I've also been

using Google+ quite a bit more it's

pretty cool for behind-the-scenes looks

and extras and things like that so those

are also linked down below along with

the gear that I use to create these

videos again this is Jonathan with TLD

thank you guys very much for watching

and I will see you guys
