Samsung Galaxy S5 first look - Check out the video

Cape Town - Samsung has released the latest version of its Galaxy S and News24 had a first look at the pricey smartphone.

The Galaxy S5 is more of evolution of the brand rather than a revolutionary product and one of the features that Samsung has advertised is the water resistance of the device.

The S5 follows up on the theme of the Note 3 which came out recently and sports a similar pleather back cover.

However, the Galaxy sports a fingerprint reader in addition to a PIN to access the device, and it works efficiently.
