    Bought a Galaxy S5 recently and wondering what your newest smartphone is capable of? While you might have come across most of the major functionality included on the device, given the feature-packed software Samsung puts on all its phones, you've probably missed quite a few of them as well. But don't worry, as Samsung has your back and has listed out 10 hidden features of its latest and greatest flagship. These features aren't exactly hidden, though a few of them have debuted on the Galaxy S5 and could come in handy for those looking to make the most of the Galaxy S5.

    The list explains features like the high sensitivity display mode that allows for operating the phone with gloves or a pencil, the Toolbox widget for quick access to your favorite apps, Private and Kids Mode, the camera modes, and even something as simple as enabling a camera shortcut on the lockscreen, which many should already be aware of if they've used existing devices like the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 after the Android 4.4 KitKat update.

    Well, go ahead and hit the source link to check out the full list of features.
