# 1: The SG5 can dive underwater, but ...: The new Galaxy S5 is certified IP67 . It is based on the standard classification IP Code (International Protection Marking) indicates that the equipment is resistant to dust ingress inside and waterproof, submerged to a depth no greater than 1 meter for no more than 30 minutes. This means that the SG5 can easily survive a spill your coffee or an unexpected visit to the toilet (although I must say, depends as was the water quality of the toilet who may not survive you are). Still not recommend that you go swimming pool with SG5.
# 2: Share content on your other computers quickly SG5: If you access the notifications will see a new button called QUICK CONNECT. Pressing this, your SG5 starts looking all other equipment which can communicate using WiFi, Bluetooth or other method network. After establishing communication you can share various types of files such as pictures, video and audio.
# 3: Selective focus on the camera: The camera offers 16 megapixels SG5 similar to what we have seen in some Nokia models built option, the ability to focus a photo after having captured. This option called SELECTIVE FOCUS SETTINGS is available in the camera app or from the icon with the two faces to the left end.
# 4: Extend the battery performance to the maximum: Do not know what the metaphysical theory can explain this, but always one left at home charger battery smartphone on those most in need. It is the law of life. However, SG5 has an option which allows you to extend the battery performance of your smartphone not only for hours but for days. The option ULTRA POWER SAVING MODE practically stops all SG5 services except telephone, text messaging and the ability to browse the Internet. You can manually add more services and see how this impacts the performance of the battery. When you select this option, you will see that the screen is changed to a monochrome icon with just the options available under this mode. At the bottom you can see how much charge is left in the battery and the estimated time available load.
# 5: Protect your children: The option Kids Mode we have seen before, for example in Windows Phone. This works the same as in the SG5, this app lets you control which apps can use the child and to limit the time of use. Samsung also incorporated several interesting options with a simplified version of the camera, where the child can edit creative ways by drawing a mustache. I said it was for the child, not for you, no longer drawing that mustache!
# 6: Your favorite apps, always at your fingertips: SG5 also introduces the new Toolbox .When activated, you will see a small circle which is always available no matter which app this set. When pressed this presents a list of shortcuts to your favorite apps. You can define which apps appear in the Toolbox. You can activate the Toolbox from Quicksettings.
# 7: Change the color of the screen: For many the biggest attraction of SG5 AMOLED screen is vibrant with colors that almost melt your eyes. But for the "purists", Samsung is what ends up distorting the presentation of the colors to saturate these at inflated grades.The SG5 calm purists with the option to change as the screen reproduces colors. There are 5 options to choose from: Adapt Display, Dynamic, Standard, Professional Photo and Cinema. The latter is the most interesting because it is the one that produces the most faithful to the original content colors. You can change how colors appear on the screen to enter SETTINGS> DISPLAY.
# 8: Use gloves SG5: the problem of capacitive touch screens is that they mostly do not work if you have gloves on. However SG5 allows you to increase the sensitivity of the touch screen to detect touch, even with gloves. Go to SETTINGS> DISPLAY and enable the option TOUCH SENSITIVITY INCREASE. In addition this option also allows access to the SG5 with a stylus!
# 9: Use the SG5 with one hand: let's be honest, maybe Samsung went so far as to increase the screen size to 5.1 inches in SG5, is about the same range that phablet. This makes the SG5 not so easy to handle with one hand. Samsung recognizes this problem, for this reason he added the option of One-handed Mode . Activating this from the Quick Settings, you only have to make a gesture with his finger from the left or right toward the center of the screen edge. The SG5 shrinks the screen to the side that dragged his finger, now allowing your thumb can go all the SG5 interface without requiring use a second hand.
# 10: Encrypt the internal memory: For added security you can encrypt the internal memory of SG5, but be patient, the process may take about an hour. After completing this task, you have to enter a password every time you turn on the computer, otherwise not even the Android operating system starts. However the option of fingerprint reading is not available for this option. To activate this option go to SETTINGS> SECURITY> ENCRYPT DEVICE.
# 11: Take all gifts from Samsung: To attract consumers, Sammy includes several completely free "Premium" applications in the SG5. This collection of apps called "Galaxy Gifts" membership includes 12 months of Run Keeper, 12-month membership Bloomberg Businessweek + and, free 50GB Dropbox for two years, 3-month Premium membership for LinkedIn, deals and discounts with Paypal , among others. Simply enter the pre-installed Galaxy Gifts and download any of the offers included widget.
# 12: Download files faster with Download Booster: With the Samsung Galaxy S5 you can use the 4G connection and WiFi together to download files faster. The SG5 is responsible for lowering data packets between both connection and eventually joins the packets to recreate the file was downloaded. This option is enabled when downloading files with sizes larger than 30 MB. To activate this option go to SETTINGS> DOWNLOAD BOOSTER. Just a note, we were lucky to try the SG5 of T-Mobile since we've heard complaints from users of AT & Tthat this option is hidden from most insurance to protect data load on your network.
# 13: Do you want better performance? Turn off the option of My Magazine: it is no secret that the virtual magazine My Magazine, which lies to the left of the initial screen Touchwiz consumes memory resources of his SG5. This is constantly looking for new content to publish in their section. But when you turn off this option, we noticed the SG5 moved more fluid and had more memory space available. To turn off this option, simply go to Settings> Applications> Application Manager> All, locate the application of My Magazine and then select the TURN OFF.
# 14: Disable all pre-installed app Samsung does not interest him, following the same line as the previous tip, you can disable any Samsung App not interested. You can not uninstall unfortunately, but if you can turn to not displayed and consume resources in the RAM. Go to Settings> Applications> Application Manager> All, Samsung locate the application you want to disable and then select the TURN OFF.
# 15: Hide your personal files: Are puts a sweat every time lends his SG5 to a family member or friend? Are you afraid of what kind of pictures can be found within this? Samsung understands (for some reason, do not ask me, but I understand) and for that reason added the option of Private Mode. By enabling this option, you can hide some content in your SG5 such as photos, videos, music, recordings Voice files among other types. These can only be seen if you are authenticated, including how to read fingerprint. This option is in SETTINGS> PRIVATE MODE.
# 16: Avoid being interrupted: I like the "Do Not Disturb" on iOS, you can activate the Blocking Mode to avoid receiving calls, notifications or alarms at a given time or until you want to disable it. However, you can create a list of contacts that can interrupt even when this mode is enabled.
