Your heart is one of the most
important indicators of your fitness; how it reacts and recovers to even the
simplest tasks can say so much. And this is why the Galaxy S5 now comes with a
built-in Heart Rate Sensor, the world's first smartphone to do so. Located just
beneath the camera on the back of the Galaxy S5, checking your beats per minute
(BPM) is as simple as placing your finger on the sensor.
You may ask, why do we need heart
rate sensors on our phones? Samsung's approach to wellbeing is all about
helping people improve their fitness through regular updates and helpful
reminders. With this sensor, you will be able to easily keep track of vitals,
whether you are doing a workout or you're busy at work.
Keep
motivated with S Health
The new and improved S-Health 3.0
provides personalised daily routines, along with target-setting functions and
real-time coaching. These targets can be measured in steps taken, rate of
speed, or distance travelled. And if you miss your targets, the S Health
application is there to provide a friendly notification reminder. It's like
having a personal trainer always with you, but with less yelling.
Get going with Gear 2
& Gear 2 Neo
Technology is creating and advancing tools that can help us
stay fit, and Samsung is at the forefront of this movement. That's what led
them to create the Galaxy Gear 2 and the Galaxy Gear 2 Neo.
These wearable devices seamlessly synchronise with your
Galaxy smartphone and also have a built-in Heart Rate Sensor, S Health
integration, and a pedometer. With these tools, they can help track your daily
movements and also create bespoke real-time coaching.
Add to this the 4GB of memory and a
built-in standalone music player, and you really are ready to get active.
Stay active with Gear Fit
Voted the Best Mobile Device at the Mobile World Congress, Samsung's Gear Fit is your ultimate fitness device. Its curved touchscreen display and hypoallergenic band makes it ideal for an active lifestyle. Like the other Gear devices, it features the built-in Heart Rate
Voted the Best Mobile Device at the Mobile World Congress, Samsung's Gear Fit is your ultimate fitness device. Its curved touchscreen display and hypoallergenic band makes it ideal for an active lifestyle. Like the other Gear devices, it features the built-in Heart Rate
sensor and S Health applications, but it also has an Always-on activity
tracking system. This follows all your movements throughout the day, 24/7. This
information can then be analysed on your Galaxy S5, helping you understand what
targets you're hitting and where you need to try a little harder.
When you decide that something's worth capturing, there is
nothing more annoying than unwanted blurriness. Whether it is because you
couldn't get the camera ready in time or your camera simply wasn't capable of
capturing such a brief moment, there is a definite sense of missed opportunity.
Samsung saw this as a great opportunity to help photographers all over the world, and with this in mind developed a new and improved Autofocus. At 0.3 seconds or less, it is the fastest autofocus found on any smartphone and delivers crystal clear images. This remarkable increase in speed is made possible by a hybrid autofocus system. By bringing together traditional smartphone technology with the autofocus found in compact cameras and also the phase detection system used in DSLR cameras, the Galaxy S5 focuses at unparalleled speed.

Take a closer look at the Galaxy S5
16MP camera with the help of Will Francis, one of the UK's most popular tech
bloggers. Will's experience of the latest digital trends makes him the perfect
person to give you a quick run down of some of the standout features that will
transform your photography.
The High Dynamic Range feature of
the Galaxy S5, which you would expect in high-end professional camera
equipment, ensures that your pictures have life-like colours regardless of what
lighting conditions you're shooting in.
The Galaxy S5 is able to achieve this thanks to a very clever image sensor, which takes multiple shots at different exposure levels and then combines them to create one perfect image.

Step up with Selective
Focus
The difference between really good photos
and shooting like a pro often comes down to little things. Sometimes it's
technique; other times it's technology. To help give a professional look to
your photos, Samsung created Selective Focus. This new feature allows mobile
photographers to select which area of a picture they wish to focus on. With a
tap of the screen, your photos get that studio look.

Stay in shape with
Gear Fit
As the world's first curved Super
AMOLED wearable device, the Samsung Gear Fit is ready to revolutionise the way
you exercise. It features a 1.84-inch touch screen, changeable straps and
instant notifications for incoming call, emails, texts and much more. However,
what makes the Gear Fit so life-changing is its built-in fitness manager. This
includes a Heart Rate Monitor and real-time fitness coaching, and is the
perfect companion for anyone looking to keep a close eye on their wellbeing.
Add to this the enhanced connectivity - now available with up to 20 Galaxy
devices via the new Tizen OS - and you really do have the smartest fitness
band.
Power
up with Gear 2
Building on the success of its
predecessor, the Gear 2 now packs in much more functionality and gives you
greater control over its look and feel. Showcasing a new lighter design, with
the 2MP camera and microphone now located in the bezel, it has straps and
interface themes that can be easily changed, letting you create your very own
style. The new built-in fitness manager comes with a Heart Rate Monitor and
Real Time Coaching. Other cool features include a standalone music player with
4GB of memory that connects to a headset via Bluetooth, a Watch On Remote for
controlling your TV and set top box, and an expanded ecosystem with over 100
new apps to enjoy.
Alongside the Gear 2 is the Gear 2
Neo, which comes with many of the same great features, including the 1.63-inch
Super AMOLED screen. But without a built-in camera it weighs just 55grams, 13
grams lighter than the Gear 2 making Gear 2 Neo an obvious choice for those who
prefer an accessory that is more discreet. Like the Gear 2, it also comes with
a range of changeable straps and interface themes, but with an alternative
choice of colours including Charcoal Black, Mocha Grey and Wild Orange. For
increased time on your wrist, the new battery lasts three times longer than the
previous Gear, and for increased connectivity, the new Tizen operating system
supports 17 Galaxy devices
