Samsung said to release the Galaxy S5 in January

10 October, 2013
The earlier than usual release of the S5 might be a result of unsatisfactory Galaxy S4 sales.

This is great news and look forward to reading about the spec's next year, it's a pitty than we still have 24 month contracts though as the phones are changing every year (all makes) and consumers have to operate more than one contract or pay a fee which is really not good practise. Some comments say Samsung are in trouble or they should change the interface, to that I say do you really know what your talking about? If you don't understand the Android format then butt-out.

    Innovation is required in battery technology . There is no reason to have faster processor other than the ability to play higher quality games.

    A breakthrough will be a phone which lasts a week on heavy usage.
    Any thing other than that is useless.

                          I guess this is because Sony managed to steal some customer from Samsung with earlier release this year. So Samsung is going to prevent this from happening again next year. But it may hurt Note III sales as well. Perhaps Samsung is gonna change their flagship release combo from Mar+Oct to Jan+Jul.

                            Anonymous, 10 Oct 2013Galaxy note 3...I said "NEW".. The note 3 is same old plastic thing with the fancy "leather-like" back cover.. I mean, I'm not a Samsung fan but I admit Samsung is good, but they need to create something POSITIVELY NEW.. While others already use metals, glass and other materials for the phones, Samsung is stuck with plastic and old design..

                                    No need to launch S5 too early. S4 still doing well and already light away ahead in sells against others droids... Iphone hype will diminish within months end like what happened with iphone 5. which is lowest sellIing phone by Apple's. ....

                                        Or maybe their main reason is that they are too afraid of the current flagships like the SONY XPERIA Z1, or the LG G2 maybe.. Go run and create something NEW Samsung before it's too late :D
