Here are the special features it came along with;

The screen grew up only a bit and it kept the 1080p resolution rather than going to QHD. The camera update also shows restraint - a 16MP shooter with 1080p video capture, not the 20MP/2160p monster some rumors saw coming.

Samsung does maintain the clockspeed advantage with a rare Snapdragon 800 chipset and while the fingerprint scanner was no surprise, the heart rate monitor certainly is.
TouchWiz was a bit of a surprise too. We got pumped up for a brand new flat version of Samsung's custom UI, but the reality is closer to what we saw on the new Galaxy Pro tablets.

The back of the device is a new iteration of Samsung's leather-like plastic, with what looks like perforated holes. It only looks like it though, the Galaxy S5 is IP67 certified - we don't expect to see a Galaxy S5 Active.
