We could say that Samsung has opted for a continuity solution in most facets of its new Galaxy S5. The specifications of the terminal are little different from the high-end models of the end of 2013, however, the new flagship of the South Korean firm has managed to mark a certain distance thanks to the new sensors. We have collected a couple of videos that give an account of such news.
The screens Quad HD or the processor Snapdragon 805 they will have to wait a little longer before seeing the light. The top-end devices of early 2014 have chosen to keep the resolution at 1920 × 1080 pixels and optimize the operation of the Snapdragon 800, or go to the 801. However, the sensor of heart rate or the reader of fingerprints they do represent important changes, especially with respect to the previous generation of the Samsung flagship.
Samsung fingerprint scanner: this is how it works
This video brings us a first approach to the operation of the fingerprint reader of the Galaxy S5, located in its home button. It seems that the main function of this sensor will be to work as a key wallet and thus avoid having to type a password each time we want to allow specific access. One of the most useful uses, perhaps, has to do with its integration into PayPal.
As you can see, to register our fingerprint we will have to pass it until eight times by the physical button, so that it is able to recognize it in all its complexity.
Samsung heart rate sensor: this is how it works
Samsung has implemented a good number of functions that have to do with the monitoring of physical activity and health, and has collected them in the app S Health; among them, the star is this sensor that measures our pulsations. As we see in the video, it is located at the rear, under the camera.

Its operation is relatively simple: we just have to put our finger on it and wait for the results. The interesting thing, especially if we do physical exercise, is to have a record of the heart activity in the long term, to see how our state of form is evolving.
