Following the official unveiling of Galaxy S5, the latest flagship Android-based smartphone from South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung, a video ad for the device is now available for your viewing pleasure.

Samsung is one of the major sponsors of the Academy Awards telecast, and it decided to air the video advertisement during the Sunday night broadcast, as PhoneArena notes.

The clip can be seen embedded above, featuring close-up images with the device itself, while teasing the handset as being the most innovative out there.

“Every year we celebrate the biggest and the brightest, the smartest and most innovative. The 5.1" full HD Samsung Galaxy S5 with built-in heart rate monitor. The Next Big Thing is Here. April 2014,” Samsung says.

Galaxy S5 was announced with a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor and 2GB of RAM, as well as with a 16-megapixel camera on the back, capable of recording videos in 4K resolution. Moreover, the smartphone runs under Android 4.4.2 KitKat.

However, Galaxy S5 does not come with innovation only on the inside, but also on the outside, courtesy of its new back plate design, which allows for a better grip when compared to its predecessors. It also sports a fingerprint sensor built into the home button.
