But what about all the conflicting rumors and spec details we've heard? You may remember our rumor mill roundup from a couple of days ago, where one tech site posted a 'confirmation' of the iris sensor only to publish an article claiming it had been shelved just three hours later. It seems no one, even 'confidential sources' can agree on this one, let alone the production material. Here's a spec sheet with everything we've heard so far:
Display | 5.2 - 5.25-inch Super AMOLED; 2,560x1,440 pixels |
---|---|
Processor | Octa-core, 64-bit Exynos 6 and Snapdragon 800/805 models |
RAM / Internal Memory | 3 GB / 32 and 64 GB + microSD (up to 64 GB) |
Camera (Rear) | 16 or 20 MP with ISOCELL sensor |
Material | Plastic, metal or a plastic front and metal battery cover |
Connectivity | LTE, HSPA, GSM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, USB2.0 with MHL |
Dimensions | TBC |
Weight | TBC |
Battery | 2,900 - 4,000 mAh (2,900 more likely) |
Operating System | Android 4.4 KitKat with newly redesigned TouchWiz UI |
Availability and Price | Available April, same initial on-contract carrier pricing as the S4 |
At the very least, the revision of TouchWiz is looking more and more certain, as is the April release of the new flagship. Keep in mind too, that Samsung will also be announcing the Galaxy F series sometime this year, so this could even be the mysterious device to launch at MWC, with the S5 (or both) to come in London in mid-March, as some journalists are reporting. Whatever the S5's exact specs turn out to be, it will be a powerhouse, and if Samsung do manage to achieve their stated goal of taking things back to basics and making the S5 about display and ''the feel of the cover,'' it's a safe bet the thing will sell like hot cakes. We're looking forward to seeing the new multi-point gesture detection in action and the ''less gimmicky, more useful'' sensor controls, according to an unnamed Samsung Exec linked to G4Games.
What specs do you think the Galaxy S5 will have? What do you think is the least likely feature?
