Galaxy S5 is powered by a  snapdragon 800 chipset clocked at 2.5 GHz and features Adreno 330 GPU. No word on the exynos(octa core) version  yet.

CAMERA
The camera has been upgraded significantly ,the rear shooter is a 16MP unit with selective focus and and supports 4K video recording.

FINGERPRINT SCANNER
Surprise!!surprise!! Galaxy S5 features a fingerprint scanner in the home button.You need to swipe your finger 8 times to record it and after that you will be able to unlock the S5 with your fingerprint. You can also authorize PayPal payments with just a single swipe of your registered finger. 

WATERPROOF
On a positive note,the standard version of galaxy s5 is waterproof and dustproof with IP67 certification ,this means no separate "active" version of the phone.
