Samsung has officially unveiled its newest Galaxy smartphone and Gear smartwatch with the goal to integrate the devices in a person's everyday life.

According to the Washington Post, Samsung showed off the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Gear 2 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain on Monday. The smartphone maker said the S5 has improved processing speed, better battery life, a 5.1-inch HD screen and better camera resolution.

These changes were aimed at helping a user on a daily basis, rather than offer a flurry of updates that would go unused. In their news conference, Samsung said the S5 could last 24 hours in standby should the battery reach 10 percent juice.

The Galaxy S4 already had one of the better cameras on the smartphone market with 13 megapixels, but Samsung still upped the S5's megapixels to 16.

The Galaxy S5 is also water resistant and could survive a rain shower or a rogue wave on the beach, though it would be unwise to take the phone underwater. Samsung also took a page out of Apple's book and applied a fingerprint scanner, which can unlock the phone, act as payment validation and access a part of the device for private files.

Experts say the practical approach taken by Samsung with its latest smartphone may not dazzle users, but the device will still sell.

"I don't think the new S5 smartphone itself will be a major game changer," Oh Sang Woo, a Seoul-based analyst at Leading Investment & Securities Co., told Bloomberg News. "Still, it is expected to sell about 50 to 60 million units a year so it will contribute big to Samsung's earnings."

Samsung also released two new smarwatches, its Galaxy Gear 2 and the Gear Fit. The Galaxy Gear 2 is an updated version of the company's first smartwatch that has been designed to be much more fashion-forward. With no wiring in the band, Samsung has made possible interchangeable wristbands and cut down on the bulky design of the first model.

The Gear Fit is far more slender and hugs a user's wrist, but does not have a microphone or speakers. It can get notifications from a user's smartphone, but it is meant to act more as a heart monitor and pedometer. Plus, it puts to use Samsung's flexible screen technology.

Samsung did not say how much its newest devices would cost, the Los Angeles Times reported. They will, however, go on sale in April.
