Samsung is launching the Galaxy S5 worldwide. In the US, both AT&T and Sprint are offering it for $189 (with a plan) or $699 without a plan. The GS5 features a 5.1" FHD (432 PPI, Diamond Pixel ) Super AMOLED display, a 2.5 Ghz quad-core CPU, 2GB of RAM, 16MP camera (4K video support). The GS5 is dust and water resistant, and it packs a finger scanner and a heart rate sensor.

The 5.1" Super AMOLED display was tested by DisplayMate, who found it to be the best mobile display on the market - outperforming all other OLED and LCD displays as it features the highest brightness, the lowest reflectance, the highest color accuracy, the highest contrast rating in ambient light and the smallest brightness variation with viewing angle.

In the past, one of the weak points of OLED displays was the low brightness compared to LED LCDs. The GS5 display is 22% brighter than the display on the GS4.

DisplayMate also reports that that GS5 provides very accurate colors. In fact in the Cinema Mode, it is the most accurate display they ever tested.

Another interesting finding is that the GS5 provides a 27% improvement in display power efficiency compared to the GS4. Samsung told DisplayMate that the improvement mostly came from more efficient OLED materials.
