Announced at Mobile World Congress, the Samsung Galaxy S5 is the latest evolution of the Korean electronics manufacturer’s market-leading Android-based device.

TechInsights' Teardown.com got its hands on one of the early-release versions. We were excited when we found ours contained Samsung’s latest version of its Exynos processor, the Exynos 5422 with its 1.6-Ghz 8-core architecture. This processor replaces the Exynos 4412 we found in our teardown of the Galaxy S4 and has 4 ARM Cortex A15 cores and 4 ARM Cortex A7 cores.

The phone also shows off Samsung’s SuperAMOLED display architecture, increasing from 5" to 5.1" with resolution remaining at 1920x1080.
