Samsung’s marketing department has done it again. This time releasing a stunning HD video of Trieste, Italy that was shot entirely on the Galaxy S5. The video, titled “Sunrise to Sunset,” is 1 minutes and 25 seconds long and depicts some truly gorgeous scenes of a quaint Italian town. If you didn’t know otherwise, you might assume the video was shot on a professional-quality video camera. The footage is highly detailed, the colors are rich, and everything just looks natural — something that most smartphones aren’t capable of achieving. According to the video’s description, however, Sunrise to Sunset was shot entirely on the Samsung Galaxy S5. That’s a pretty impressive feat to say the least! “Short film of Trieste, Italy featuring HDR Video and FHD 1080p footage shot entirely on the Samsung GALAXY S5,” wrote Samsung the video description for Sunrise to Sunset. How is the Samsung Galaxy S5 able to achieve such amazing, high-quality footage — even when the person recording is riding in a helicopter above the city? The Galaxy S5 features a 3840 x 2160 pixel resolution camcorder that records at 30 frames per second. In addition, it also features digital image stabilization, High Dynamic Range mode (HDR).

It’s no secret that Samsung is busy working on variation of its Galaxy S5 flagship smartphone, some of which includes the Galaxy F (Prime), Galaxy S5 Active, Galaxy S5 Mini and Galaxy S5 Zoom. While most consumers and tech analysts were expecting these variations to be released, recent developments suggest another variation of the Galaxy is on the horizon: the Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo. GSM Arena published a screenshot of a benchmark listing depicting an unknown device with the build SM-G850. While there’s been no official confirmation by Samsung, this device is believed to be the company’s upcoming Galaxy S5 Neo. The benchmark listing reveals some pretty interesting information about the hardware and software specs of the SM-G850 device (click on link above for complete details). Assuming this is the Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo, it will feature a 4.7-inch screen with 1280 x 720 pixel resolution and 5-finger gesture support. If you’re familiar with the original launch-edition Galaxy S5, you’ll probably notice these specs are sub-par in comparison. Why is Samsung releasing a smaller variant of its flagship smartphone with lower resolution? The Galaxy S5 Neo is intended to be a smaller and cheaper version of the original Galaxy S5, allowing budget-conscious…
One of the key selling points of the Samsung Galaxy S5 is its 16-megapixel rear-facing camera. Most users have praised Samsung for delivering such a powerful camera on an otherwise small device. Recently, though, the South Korean manufacturer has come under fire for camera failure issues. While the problem isn’t related to all Galaxy S5 devices, some users have complained and Samsung is listening. You don’t have to search very hard to find complaints posted online about the Galaxy S5’s faulty camera. From forums to blogs, hundreds of people have taken to the Internet to voice their frustration with Samsung. According to users’ reports, the Galaxy S5 generates a “camera failure” message when attempting to take a picture; thus, rendering this feature useless. Verizon Wireless Models Are Affected The Most It’s important to note that Verizon Wireless model Galaxy S5s are being affected the most. Far more reports of the faulty camera have come from Verizon Wireless customers, leaving us to ask the question: is it an issue with the carrier? That would certainly make since if the problem was limited strictly to Verizon Wireless devices, but it’s not. Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile users have all reported the same “camera…
Plus: Galaxy S5 to Get Plastic Body? Though everyone is amazed with the new Samsung Note, the Galaxy S5 is still the talk of the town, as evidenced by the rumor mill that just will not quit, though there are some experts who are for some reason just hearing about these “new” rumors… Go figure. Today we are here to tell you that the Samsung Galaxy S5 will definitely be getting the ISOCELL technology in its camera. We think its more possible now than it ever was because this is not the first time this specific rumor has surfaced, and this time it’s from a different source.

What are the Camera Features? According to GSMArena via ETNews, the camera will feature a 16 GB sensor, and both Samsung’s own LSI and Sony are going to fight it out for the rights to produce them en masse, calling what is sure to be an interesting fight a bidding war. We’re wondering why Samsung LSI…

In a few short months, Samsung will present the world with the next offering in the popular Galaxy line of smartphones. The Galaxy S5 will provide features and hardware the make it on par with anything Apple has to offer. Just like the iPhone 5S, the Galaxy S5 will boost 64-bit processor, which is computers use these days. Not only will this result in snappier performance overall, but when develoeprs take advantage of the improved processor, new games could be console-quality on a smartphone. Multitasking will also run as smoothly as ever on this new smartphone. The processor is rumored to be the Exynos 5 Octa CPU. Yes, that’s “octa” for eight cores! The Galaxy S4 already has this processor, but it wasn’t 64-bit. That also means that Google must release a compatible version of its operating system. The sky is really the limit when it comes to what a 64-bit version of Android will be able to do. Of course, these phones must have enough memory to allow the processor…
