14 DAY TRIAL // There has been much talk around Samsung Galaxy S5’s specs sheet, but for every “confirmed” rumor, another one comes to say it’s not accurate.
Today, the folks over at SamMobile claim that they have the final specs sheet of the Samsung Galaxy S5, which is set to be officially unveiled in mid-March, according to the latest reports.
First and foremost, it appears that the rumors claiming the Galaxy S5 will be made of metal are accurate, but also those which say that Samsung will bet on plastic once again.
In fact, Samsung Galaxy S5 will be available in both metal and plastic versions, which will go on sale at different price tiers. While the plastic version will be available for around €650 ($890) outright, the metallic model will go on sale for no less than €800 ($1095).
There might be a chance that the metallic version will be called Galaxy F, but as we reported a few weeks ago, Samsung Galaxy F might be an entirely different smartphone aimed at fashionistas.
Back to Galaxy S5’s specs sheet, the smartphone is said to boast an incredible 2K display that supports 2,560 x 1,440 pixels resolution, but the size of the screen is unknown for the moment.
On the back, the device will boast an enhanced 16-megapixel photo snapper, possibly with OIS (optical image stabilization). A secondary front-facing camera will be included as well.
Hardware-wise, there’s no doubt about it, Samsung Galaxy S5 will be equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 805 chipset. There will also be an Exynos 6-based Galaxy S5 available as well.
When it comes to software, Samsung Galaxy S5 has been confirmed to ship with Android 4.4 KitKat operating system out of the box, but that shouldn’t be a surprise.
According to SamMobile, Samsung’s next Galaxy S smartphone should go on sale sometime in April, but some reports claim that it will arrive in early May. Stay tuned for more updates on the matter.
