Korean electronics giant Samsung, on Monday, took the wraps off its new Galaxy S5 smartphone - a flagship product that comes with a fingerprint reader and slightly bigger screen than the current model.

The water-resistant phone, which comes with a 5.1 inch screen and a 16 megapixel camera, will go on sale from April 11.

Apart from a leather feel back, the phone also comes in blue and gold colours, much like the iPhone 5S and 5C.
