New Samsung Galaxy S5 concept looks awfully Nexus with a side of TouchWiz

Samsung Galaxy S5 conceptYesterday, Samsung teased what looked like what the icons on its new Android KitKat TouchWiz interface might be, and they looked like a significant departure from what we’re normally used to in TouchWiz UI‘s. As is usually the case, some diligent designers have been working around the clock to come up with new mockups that feature the teased icons, like this latest Samsung Galaxy S5 concept from Jinesh Shah which appears to make use of the icons we saw yesterday.

Samsung Galaxy S5 conceptDespite using the coloured icons from yesterday’s teaser, the appearance of the UI is overwhelmingly reminiscent of a Nexus device running stock Android given that the device has on-screen buttons; as is Samsung’s penchant, we’re expecting the Samsung Galaxy S5 to have the trademark physical home button which should be accompanied by capacitive buttons. That’s not to say it’s a 100% sure either, and I think many of us would love to think the Galaxy S5 might have a simple and clean UI like in this concept. It’s always nice to dream…

What do you think about Shah’s Samsung Galaxy S5 concept? Think the next TouchWiz UI will look anything like this? Let us know your opinion in the comments below.
