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.

              It's not because it didn't sell well. It's the best selling Android phone so far.
              They're doing this because its sales are going down rapidly because of decent competition - Samsung can't let the Galaxy S line to lose its crown and not be the best phone around.

                  Samsung are so eager to keep there No 1 position in the mobile market,an after getting slagged down about the Plastic used on the S4 ,they want to show that can really produce High Quality Smartphones,the only trouble with this change will Samsung still retain the Removable batteries an Micro Sd Card slots on there new phones,an this is why people prefer there phones over the metal body phones,just hope these features can be kept on the S5,will we also get a Flexible Screen on the S5 to see if it will boost the sales

                    Samsung or rather S4 is not doing well (than expected) because of #1 It lags overtime significantly (much more than other brands, #2 Bloatwares , #3 Gimmicks , #4 Consumer's perception of Samsung as a brand.

                    I doubt the S5 can address any of the said issues...

                            I wonder if it comes with the rumored updated design and materials. Hopefully, but I'm afraid January is a little early judging by what leaks we have (nothing). There are no components updated enough too other than the camera, chipset and ram.

                                Stop using fake plastic leather with thread trims. It's the worst design. All the previous design is so great and you have to copy blackberry for the leather back cover for note 3. I hope S5 is as good on the outside.
                                By the way, more accessories please. Wireless charging is a must. Thanks if you are listening SAM.

                                    Disappointing sales? Everybody and there mom that the S4. Even I bought the Google edition and I don't like buying fads.

                                      The S5 is going to be really awesome, I believe, it's almost guaranteed. It's like the arrival of the original Galaxy S in the smartphone world, should be ground breaking. And no, it won't hurt the Note 3's sales. But it will definately hurt the 5S, G2 and Z1 sales, real bad.
