The smartphone is powered by a 2,800mAh battery and either 16GB or 32GB of onboard storage. The S5 is backed up with a microSD card slot for up to 64GB of additional storage.

For connectivity, the S5 supports the fifth generation Wi-Fi 802.11ac and 2X2 MIMO, and supporting the large number of LTE frequency with LTE Category 4 standard. The Galaxy S5 also features Download Booster. Other connectivity options include Bluetooth 4.0 BLE / ANT+, USB 3.0, NFC and IR Remote
