have a rest, buddy
You run ðŸÂƒâ€ÂÂ♂︠😂😂😂😂
Watching on s5
guys don't get this phone get the samsung galaxy alpha
coool
My activity zone isnt rresponding. do you know how to fix this? I just bought thin stanking arse phone
It works in the spot were ur neck that u can check by ur finger by u can put the phone the and it works
This is rather pointless, I think any talk about real usefulness has to do with how accurate it is, all that nonsense about not being able to use it when running as opposed to the band is not stuff I have to watch a video to discover. Try to use it in tandem with actual medical heart rate measuring equipment to tell us how this compares. Otherwise you´re wasting my time
Try this after drinking a monster to check how much ur heart rate changes
You call it a gimmick; I call it a great idea! Don't you find it interesting that people who are jealous of what Samsung has that their phone doesn't usually says that Samsung is gimmicky?
It fails to read my heart rate when it is below 50bpm and cold. I don't know if this is outside their operating range or not, i could not find the operating range anywhere.
Have you got a stutter Craig .A very intelligent response by the way
Some results for my s5 has been consistent but sometimes it is not consistent at all. I can have 65 63 65 72 65 than 85. Than 65 than 82
And my true heart rate at that time was 72. So almost all of the results were not accurate besides one.
Samsung has become a corporation and a corporation's survival comes first even it meant doing the wrong things to survive, galaxy s5 real parts price is only 200 USD, so why charge 600 ?
Great many features. I think for a new phone I might just give Samsung a whirl. After all, I'm sick of my current phone and its problems
Mine says 60 spm and not bpm… What is spm?
Google play: Runtastic heart rate.
Samsung screwed the s5. But the other companies didn't. So i suggest you to redirect your attention.
Are you seriously trying to make us believe this isn't a voice-over?
How is this a phone feature? You can download a dozen apps that do this as long as your phone has camera with a flash.
Oh I have a sudden urge to check out my heart rate, guess I can't do anything without the galaxy s5…………..,………………..
I have an s3 I think I wanna upgrade to s5?
Most of the people rage on heart rate monitor,and they find it useless,but for me it is a great feature,cause iam so active person,so shealth+heart monitor is a great feature for me,and i ll buy it,if you dont like it you still have great phones like xperia z2 lg g2 e.t.c! (dont rage enjoy the video)
and they have apps in the Google Play Store that do the same shit lol
that heart rate monitor is only a big fake…
I don't know if you got a new Mic or something, but the audio quality was pretty bad, almost static-like
Samsung puts a heartbeat sensor on there phone and people rage like crazy. Why did no one care when apple did it?
the Samsung Galaxy S6 will have a pressure rate monitor and a sugar monitor rate
This Heart rate is of no use at all..!
It's more of a useless innovation try..
A small app in my ex-iPhone 4 used to do the job. Very useless by samsung.
Is the heart rare monitor light actually red? Or is it a white light and it's looks red because of the blood in your finger?
Kinda hard to keep still if your heart is blasting 160bpm
Samsung sucks and also Samsung sucks and one final remark before I close ,Samsung Sucks!!!!Great I feel much better now that if have shared my opinion to the rest of the world😉
Who the hell needs this shit?ÂÂÂ
Cardiograph is one if the apps which turns your camera into a heart rate monitor and it is as accurate as the S5
Good video, useless feature.
Good video, useless feature.
This is like having a cupholder on your phone, completely useless.
@Daniel Luzzi @Cayce West
Lol, to call out the device on the fact that it does not allow real time tracking it silly. It's a phone, what other phone can check your heart rate? Only the S5, so in that case it should set it apart
the S5 has a ugly design overall
Samsung S5 failure , who would use such a thing.
This might be the gimmick to rule all gimmicks.
how can I get one 1 too Samsung so
