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.

Actually, this could mean, that the market is getting satiated. Buyers starts to understand, that they don't get more with every newly released phone. For crapsung this could mean one thing - to narrow and to balance its way too big assortment.

    I would better buy a premium smartphone with superior case finish than super twelve core with plastic case, that is just crap. Still hasnt changed my 2011 HTC.

      I owned GS2 and GS3 and was very happy with both of them, and I would have certainly bought a GS4 if it hasn't been for Samsung' s totally retarded decision not to include FM radio. That's just one person' s individual opinion. But it is also one less customer for Samsung. Let's see if they learn the error of their ways with the GS5.

        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. ....

                  so s4 didn't sell well neither did htc one. Nokia is also struggling with their sales, so is LG & BB.

                  I wonder who is actually selling teh phones? SONY?, lol :P

Like having a Casio G-Shock watch - your phone contains valuable information. So, put a layer of metal over it, then a layer of plastic to absorb shocks, and finally put it in a nylon belt case for extra protection. Feels good. :-)

                        In my opinion electronic giant is Sony.( overall electronics except smartphones) Atleast in my country (that is number 7 in the world in terms of population) Sony is a giant in electronic and evolving in terms of smartphones.

                          2014 will be exciting with ARM A57/A53 (ARMv8 64-bit) on 20nm that will easily smoke the Snapdragon 800 > Exynos 5430 > A7X > A7.

                            So lets get this straight....those people who recently bought a S4 will have an ''old model'' obsolete phone in the eyes of the masses. Bad move imo.

                              Once upon at time Flagships use to last a year not anymore.

                              Smartphone are going the way of PC's did back in the 90's and early 2000's it just a race between all manufactures to release a device that quicker & has more gimmicks than the last smartphone.

                              Eventually the market will become over saturated, as it becoming now so no one company will have dominance in sales, like both Apple & Samsung have enjoyed in the past.

                                Haha part 5 coming out so soon?! Tot s4 came out not too long ago. Anyway i think samsung should not include those rarely used functions like air gesture n all that... hope they will make the phone smaller n slimmer. N also make the s5 mini come in a four inch screen, similar in size to the iphone 5 with a quad core processor...

                                  Im using the S3 right now, didnt get the S4 and was going to get the Note3 but I can hold off a couple more months for this bad boy. The bar will be raised and set at a new height.
