Some lucky Aussies at The Register sweet talked their way into a Samsung Galaxy S5 and have put together a brief preview for your reading pleasure. There are many new features you will someday be able to use, even if El Reg couldn't quite test them yet. There is a battery saving mode which should help road warriors and a fingerprint sensor which is touted to work with NFC to turn your S5 into a replacement for your credit cards so you don't have to carry them with you. There is more to see in the article, including the Galaxy Gear Neo smartwatch.
"This time around Samsung is keen on its battery-saving mode, IP67 rating and, once again, fitness features. Samsung Australia personnel swore blind all of those features were designed for an “Aussie lifestyle”. Because down here we all go to the beach every day, a supposition only slightly less believable than the notion that an S5 design meeting considered how to optimise sales in a nation of 23 million."
