Samsung Galaxy S5 tipped for March release in London

12 January, 2014
The next Samsung Galaxy flagship is expected to feature metal body and 2K screen.

Sort by:

Yepp, anyone can explain me why do we need a 560 ppi screen when we can't distinguish over 350?? Does the speaker emit ultrasounds so bats and dogs can use it too?
Comon, the biggest phone manufacturer and they are so dumb they can't come up with new useful features but only crank up the specs beyond our biologic thresholds for phone addicts to boast,... and then they say Apple fools people :/

    im going to skip this phone this time around tho my contract renews in september. im thinking of going Huawei..

    considering the S3 was great and all and my S4 was a slight improvment with features that just didnt bloody work (S Translator was such a weak app compared to google translator)and Google Now is way better than S Voice not that i use them much eitherway. Samsung pushed way too many features the onyl thing i use is the sensor inwhich if a sms comes in i put it to my face and it calls that person thats about it

        I like all the specs so far except for the 2k display . I think full HD Is enough specially when they make it super AMOLED plus. no body will feel the difference between full HD and 2k . It will only put more stress on the GPU lowering the frame rates and decreasing battery life and causing lag and over heating . An adreno 420 with 1080p display will be very nice and will make the phone buttery smooth .

          AnonD-134497, 12 Jan 2014I think they went for S4 or Note 3 already... Time will tell. No people like me who are on a 2 year contact have to wait until it is up. Which will be around the time of the S5.

Already it is not selling well .over 10 million galaxy s4 sold in first month (now over 40 million) .It is higher than s3 in selling rate. Galaxy s series is really a exciting one for people.

                            I agree samsung phones always been better than Apple Iphones regarding everything: specs, gadgets, easy to use, personalisation, look, camera, speed, weight, toughness (iphone always breaks) and files compatibility (no f..... itune :D )

                              The real question is, how many people will buy S5 since "Millions" who bought S4 and Note 3 are mostly on 2 years contracts. Another fact to keep in mind is that people JUST ended up buying S4 and Note 3. How many are there who got an S4 and a Note 3 will spend $800 again for S5? Could they be in millions or perhaps.... Only time will tell but I do know for sure, the sales figure WILL be hard to achieve.

                                winjilcom, 12 Jan 2014No matter if it is plastic or metal, you'll put it in a OTT... moreI've owned all except the s3 and never put one in an otter box or any case for that matter. Gotta be naked for me and I don't care about plastic.
                                As long as its an absolute powerhouse as per usual then I'll be happy

                                    No matter if it is plastic or metal, you'll put it in a OTTERBOX..

                                    The most important are the SPecs.

                                    and has extra card slot and removable battery..

                                    Unlike CRAP Iphone, using dual core with no card slot and none removable battery, and a Itunes Sh.....t
