Some rumors tell us that the Samsung Galaxy S5 could be presented at the Mobile World Congress 2014, the mobile phone fair that will be held in February in Barcelona. Thus, it is not surprising to us that more and more information is leaking about its possible technical data sheet, the launch date or even the price. The first data we have on the table is that of the screen. And it is that the fifth generation of the Samsung flagship could come equipped with a 5-inch screen, although we have already read many times that the Korean has ordered a large batch of 5.25-inch screens. It would be an AMOLED panelendowed with astonishing 2K resolution 2560 x 1440 pixels. Other sources point to a 5.3-inch screen, but what is clear is that in the resolution section, Samsung intends to surprise its audience. To all this, we have to indicate that the resulting pixel density would be 560 dpi (dots per inch), which would give rise to a screen with a very high level of quality.
But this is not all we know about the screen of the future Samsung Galaxy S5. Apparently, the responsible company would have studied the possibility of replacing the classic AMOLED screen with a PLS LCD. Apparently, there would be many Chinese companies that would be offering, to this and other firms, this improved technology and for a much more affordable price. Thus, the addition of an LCD screen to the new flagship could mean a considerable reduction in the production costs of the phone.
The next key feature of this device is, without a doubt, the processor. It's been a few months since we talked to you about the possibility that the Samsung Galaxy S5 would arrive equipped with a new version of the powerful eight-core Exynos 5 chip (developed by Samsung itself). We would be, if the rumors are twisted, before an Exynos chip with 64-bit architecture that could be compared to the A7 SoC of the current iPhone 5S. Other sources agree that what Samsung will do again is to introduce a second version equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor. This feature, in addition, could combine its operation with 4 GB of RAM, a capacity never seen to date in a smartphone . However, some theories support the thesis that the Exynos chip would be associated with 4 GB of RAM, while the Qualcomm processor would work with 3 GB of RAM.
Another important feature in this team is the camera. Everything suggests that the Samsung Galaxy S5 take an integrated 16 megapixel camera with optical image stabilizer. Few details have been leaked in relation to its performance, but some media claim that the photos will be up to eight times brighter indoors. This means, in short, that the camera of this equipment will improve its operation in poorly lit environments or even at night. The second camera on the front of the smartphone , could have a resolution of two megapixels.
But the rumors that have sounded loudest are what have to do with the special features or innovations that Samsung intends to incorporate in its next Samsung Galaxy S5. Some sources point to a fingerprint sensor, but the riskiest ones claim that the smartphone will have an iris reader, useful to guarantee the user's safety when unlocking the phone. The issue of materials also draws our attention. Samsung has been criticized on many occasions by the most purists who demanded a more elegant manufacture for the flagship of the firm. The vilified plastic could disappear to make way for metals, although there are sources that insist on ensuring that Samsung will continue in its thirteen of providing a polycarbonate case. It should be noted, however, that the back cover could be covered with a layer of skin that is very pleasant to the touch that we have already seen on board the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and other terminals that have been launched later.
Samsung has yet to comment on a possible launch date. The last Samsung Galaxy S have been presented between April and May, but this time it seems that the firm could advance that date a bit. In fact, everything suggests that the debut will take place at the end of February, coinciding with the vigil of the Mobile World Congress 2014.
Regarding the price, we have to remember that the Samsung Galaxy S4 appeared in some markets (specifically in the United States) with a price of $ 200 and a two-year contract with the main operators in the country. There is no compelling reason why this amount can vary or be changed. In the international market, Samsung could unveil the free Samsung Galaxy S5 for amounts ranging between 600 and 700 euros.
