Samsung Galaxy S series
The Samsung Galaxy S series is a line of Android-based smartphones produced by Samsung Electronics. It serves as Samsung's high-end line of its wider Galaxy family of Android devices, and, in conjunction with the Galaxy Z series and the Galaxy Tab S series, also serves as its flagship smartphone and tablet lineup (like the historical Galaxy Note series), slotted above the entry-level and mid-range Galaxy A series since 2019.
The original Galaxy S smartphone was announced in March 2010 and released on June 4, 2010.
The company announced the Samsung Galaxy S II on February 13, 2011. In 2013, a "Plus" variant was released with only 8 GB of internal storage and slightly different chipset. It also features the TouchWiz "Nature UX" user interface, and the brushed dark blue colour variant ("Pebble Blue"), both known from the Galaxy S III.
The Samsung Galaxy S III was announced on May 3, 2012, and also became one of the most sold S series phone. Key features introduced on the device include split-screen multitasking, video player with pop-up window, "Ambient Light" setting that adjusts screen brightness, and a "Smart Stay" feature that keeps the screen on when looking at the phone. It was also the first Samsung phone with wireless charging support that can be enabled using a special back cover that connects to dedicated pins under the rear cover.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 was announced by Samsung on March 14, 2013. More than 80 million units of the Galaxy S4 were sold, making it one of the best selling S series phones. Some of the highlighted features mostly include the Air Gestures (using the device's proximity and light sensors) and an IR blaster. The Galaxy S4 is one of only two Samsung mobile phones to be equipped with thermometer and hygrometer sensors (the other being the Galaxy Note 3). Some praised the innovation inherent in all of the Galaxy S4's new features, while others criticized it as feature creep.
Other variants of the device are the rugged and water-resistant S4 Active, the lower-priced mid-class S4 Mini, as well as the hybrid S4 Zoom, which is equipped with an optical zoom lens with 10× magnification, more powerful Xenon flash, tripod mount, and rotary knob lens ring, combining a mobile phone with a dedicated digital camera.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 was announced on February 24, 2014, offering improvements over its predecessor including a heart rate monitor, IP67 water resistance, a fingerprint scanner, 4K video recording, phase-detection autofocus plus enhanced low-light photography, a "Download Booster" feature, and USB 3.0. It lacks the thermometer (temperature) sensor, hygrometer (humidity) sensor, and "Story Album" features from the preceding Galaxy S4, but largely inherited Air View and gesture-related functionality. "Quick glance" was replaced with "Air wake-up", which allows waking up the smartphone from stand-by mode by hovering over the proximity sensor.
The Galaxy S5 is the first Samsung mobile phone where the touch key on the left side of the home button is a task key instead of an option key. It also the last mobile phone in the Galaxy S series with a micro-SIM card (later phones use a nano-SIM card) and a user-replaceable battery.
