If this is the freshly announced LG G3 LTE-A, which occupies the front of the media spotlight for a few days, it is nevertheless that the Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A will keep forever as the first smartphone world stamped “Cat 6″, that is to say compatible with the LTE-A and its theoretical speeds to 300 Mb / s. We had the opportunity to handle.
We enjoyed presentations. Our presence in South Korea to offer you there is little grip G3 LG LTE-A. Having also managed to get their hands on a Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A in parallel, we decided to give you our first impressions. Before you start, remember that the device is available for sale in the country of the Morning Calm for several weeks now.
Like G3 LTE-A, this new version of S5 puts forward especially its connectivity with 4G +. It is therefore a Cat smartphone. 6, which will eventually connect to a network that can reach theoretical speeds of 300 Mb / s. It has for that a new modem, Qualcomm Gobi 9×35. But this is far from the only new hardware on the unit. Chipset Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 classic S5 is here replaced by a Snapdragon 805, supported by 3GB of memory (RAM) and an Adreno 420 graphics chip. Recall that the first iteration of the device “merely” an Adreno 330 and 2GB of RAM. Obviously, the latter being already very smooth and responsive, we were not able to perceive any difference at this level. However, side benchmark , the S5 LTE-A stands out with better scores than the smartphones currently Snapdragon 801. Though the power difference should not be noticeable for use during the first months of availability of the device, its data sheet updated promises better last time.
The other major change is to get the side of the screen. If its size does not change (5.1 “), it now displays a QHD resolution of 2560 x 1440 px, which puts it on a par with the LG G3. Therefore better than conventional S5 offers a full definition HD 1080p (1920 x 1080 px), for a density of 438 pixels per inch. However, with such a high density, it is already impossible to detect any pixel to the naked eye. Both say that we do not have really found blatant improvement, especially since we did not have a classical S5 Galaxy on hand to compare. can still report on a web page with really small fonts, such as the homepage bbc . fr his not suitable for the mobile version, such policies are indeed tiny, but perfectly legible on the qHD screen, which is not necessarily the case on a Full HD panel.
As G3 LTE-A, no announcement has been made about a possible availability of LTE Galaxy S5-A outside the borders of South Korea. But Bouygues Telecom launching in a few days the first 4G network + / A-LTE in Europe, this version of the S5 could well be part of the offer. In any case, our initial observation that for LTE-A Galaxy S5 is the same as for the LTE-A G3. Namely, it is certainly a device better than the previous model, but does not deserve an immediate investment from those who already have the classic version. It will indeed flow of water under the bridge before the + 4G network is highly developed.
