Samsung is expected to announce its next Galaxy flagship smartphone in just a few hours. The South Korean company has already confirmed its Unpacked 5 press event will take place in Barcelona, Spain, starting 20:00 CET / 14:00 EST, February 24.

Usually these types of major events are dedicated to a single flagship smartphone and perhaps a few tablets, but Samsung has already announced its lineup of slates for the first half of 2014.

We expect Samsung to be focusing on the Galaxy S5 specs and software during tonight's press conference, but surprises are always possible.

According to the latest hearsay, Samsung will announce two Galaxy S5 models. The standard version is said to go on sale in mid-March, while the premium variant won't be available until a few weeks later.
