Samsung Galaxy S5 Update: First Update For Flagship Handset SM-G900F Released Adding Improved Camera Speed And More Accurate Fingerprint Scanning
Samsung Galaxy S5 Update: Samsung has recently started rolling out an update for the Galaxy S5 SM-G900F which will improve camera speed and its fingerprint sensor as well. According to Ubergizmo, the update has begun rolling out in the UK and will be making its way onto the international variant of the Galaxy S5. The update has managed to improve the startup speed of the camera along with the gallery app.
According to US Witch, the OS bump include a more accurate fingerprint scanner, boosting the Galaxy S5's security credentials. Until now, Samsung's tilt at biometric security has been regarded as very much second best to the iPhone 5S's Touch ID.
"There also seem to be general performance improvements and better RAM management post update, though these are usually noticeable immediately after an update before going back to how they were. The update is currently available over Kies and is also rolling out over the air, though as usual, it could take a while before it shows up on your device. If you're unwilling to wait, you can always download the firmware from our firmware section and update manually," Sam Mobile reported.
