The Samsung Galaxy S5 in gorgeous detail

Samsung's Galaxy S5 is all but certain to be the best-selling Android phone of 2014. It's the latest in a line of massively powerful, massively successful phones from the Korean conglomerate, and this year it comes with a lot of new things to see. There's a fingerprint monitor, a heart-rate sensor, a new 16-megapixel camera with new autofocus technology, a high-res 5.1-inch screen, a surprisingly water-resistant body, and lots and lots (and lots) more.

It's available on virtually every carrier in the US, and all over the world. We've reviewed the phone, and had both big praise and big problems — but no matter what, there's no stopping Samsung. Here, in glorious detail, is the phone you'll soon be seeing everywhere: the Samsung Galaxy S5.
