It is about that time again. The time where the rumors start meeting with the actuality of the next flagship device from a manufacturer. In this case we have supposed confirmations of what the Samsung Galaxy S5 will indeed be supporting. The news comes as an exclusive via SamMobile so we are pretty confident that they are as close to the real deal as possible before an official announcement is made.
Screen wise the Galaxy S5 hits a home run with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,440. Official size is still missing, but 5.25-inches still seems to be the most likely size to keep it under the Note category. That same 5.25-inch size was previously mentioned to be in full production already as well. Â Internal processor is confirmed as one of two variants. There will be a Exynos 6 CPU variant and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805. Traditionally, the Exynos has been the choice for international variants whereas the Snapdragon finds its way to the US. However, we are hearing that the Exynos processor has no issues with stateside LTE connections any more. It is possible that the larger price difference between the metal and plastic versions also reflect a processor difference. Being that the plastic variant pulls the Snapdragon and the metal version pulls the Exynos 6.
The camera is pushing up to 16MPs and of course it will be launched with Android 4.4 on board. Some elusive specs still remain, like RAM and battery capacity. We are certain there will be more unofficially confirmed specs as we move closer to the announcement which is tentatively suggested to be in March. Followed up by a global release in April.
Is the Galaxy S5 shaping up to be everything you are dreaming of?
