Android, Tech News

Sammobile has confirmed the Samsung Galaxy S5 specs.

Just like Apple did with the 5S and 5C, the S5 willl come in both metal and plastic versions with the metal version costing around 800 Euros and the plastic model coming in at around 650 Euros.

The metal version of the phone will basically have a metallic back plate while being constructed of metal on the sides and front. Also, the premium metal version could be named Galaxy F or something else.

The Galaxy S5 will have an AMOLED display of 2,560×1,440 resolution, a screen of 5.25-inches. The back of the phone will sport a 16-megapixel camera, though it’s unclear if it will have hardware optical image stabilization (OIS). Inside the S5 will either be powered by the Exynos 6 processor or a Snapdragon 805, depending on whether it’s LTE-enabled or not. On the software front, the S5 will run on Android 4.4 KitKat as you would expect.

The air gestures will be improved too with the tech behind the gestures being the next generation. So in summary,

– QHD (2,560×1,440) Super AMOLED display
– Exynos 6 / Snapdragon 805 processor
– 16-megapixel camera
– Android 4.4 KitKat
– Plastic/metal versions

No real surprises yet.

Details of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 4

Android, Tech News,

CES has just ended and next month is Mobile World Congress. Lots of new mobile tech will get announced there but Samsung will hold its own press event for the new Samsung Galaxy S5 after this show has finished.

During CES 2014, Samsung spoke to Bloomberg and confirmed that Samsung’s plans for the Galaxy S5 to return to the basics and provide a big update from last year’s S4.

This will include everything from the feel and comfort in the hand to a fresh new software launcher details of which were posted here a few days ago. The S5 will also have the option of a new more advanced and slimmer Galaxy Gear smartwatch.

Moving on to the Galaxy Note 4, Samsung plans to make a phone that targets professionals that are willing to pay more for it, (no surprises here) and that is not just a bigger phone but with extra benefits. This could include a different fabric of construction too and a 3 sided display option.

Samsung Galaxy S5 rumoured specs

Android, Tech News

Sammobile reported from Korean web site DDaily that Samsung has commenced production of their new 5.25-inch AMOLED displays to be used in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5. The screen is expected to be a 2560×1440 2K display. Similar to the technology used for the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the Galaxy Note 3, the new display uses a diamond pixel arrangement. Each of the red and blue pixels is shaped like a diamond, with normal green pixels interleaved throughout, which is supposed to increase sharpness and pixel density. For the size and resolution, the Galaxy S5 screen will be running at 560 ppi.

The Galaxy S5 is expected to also come equipped with 3GB of RAM, a 16MP camera and will have Android KitKat 4.4 installed. Like other Samsung devices, the processor will likely vary by market with Snapdragon 800, Snapdragon 805 and 64-bit Exynos processors all believed to be candidates.

If the above is correct, then the S5 will likely only be a modest spec increase from the S4, but should bring a much better user experience.
