Other notable features in the phone includes infrared for TV remote functionality, S-Health app, a heart rate sensor, 3G, WiFi, Bluettoth 4.0, USB 3.0 and NFC. Oh and the phone is also dust and water resistant. The phone sounds interesting with the specifications, but the design has been a great turn off to many. But you could still try to live with it by choosing the Shimmery white model or the Electric blue or the copper gold. Either way, ensure you have a budget that swings between Rs 51,000 to Rs 53,000/- ready. Still crazy for it ? Well then, mark your calendars for March 29th. That’s when pre-order go live and on April 11th you’ll be one of the elite S5 users.
