Samsung Electronics’ Galaxy S5 will be water and dust proof, local sources told ZDNet Korea Wednesday. That’s the standard S5, not as special model.
Users can also swipe the home button to unlock the phone using fingerprint recognition technology, they said.
There is also meant to be a hidden button on the side of the phone which tapping it will act as a camera shutter button.
The standard model for the Galaxy S5, expected to be unveiled at Mobile World Congress in Spain next week, will have the same water-proof capability as Samsung’s previously released outdoor handset, the Galaxy S4 Active.
If this rumour is true clearly Samsung are looking to compete with the Sony Xperia Z2 which also is waterproof and dust proof.
