Samsung's Galaxy S5 hits the UK shops
 

Samsung's latest flagship model, the Galaxy S5 has gone on sale across the UK less than a year after its predecessor the Galaxy S4 made an appearance.

The phone does not appear to be much different. In fact it looks almost identical to the Galaxy S4, and you would have some difficulty telling them apart in a police line-up. The Galaxy S5 has a larger display than its predecessor at 5.1in, but you would be hard-pressed to tell by looking at it.

The screen has an AMOLED display, with very wide viewing angles, and is sharp and vibrant and very close in quality to that of the high-end LCD screens like those found on the iPhone 5S and HTC One M8, or so Samsung reckons.

Armed with a 2.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 it has a 16MP camera, the ability to combine 4G with WiFi for ultrafast downloads and a fingerprint scanner which acts as identity verification for online shopping payments.
