Galaxy S5 may come in two version: one metel, one plastic

Samsung is definitely hard at work in the Galaxy S5 there is no secret . While there are no firm data on the device have emerged , there is a lot of buzz about the device and here are some more rumors for you to read on. Before you dive in, these rumors are courtesy of the Korean media, so do not put a ton of weight on them yet, but they are interesting nonetheles.

One of the really interesting rumor has surfaced again is that Samsung will release two models of S5, the " premium" model made ​​of metal and a "normal" device made ​​of plastic . It is also expected that two different processors used in the device , the recently announced Snapdragon 805 species and 64 - bit chip Octo -Core Samsung. Which version of the device was not specified get what processor, but it makes sense to me that the "premium " device would get 64 - Bit of Octo - core chips . While it certainly would be strange to see Samsung release two versions of its flagship device, it's not the first time we 've heard this story. Note 3 is rumored to come in various models , but as we all know , it did not happen .

Other rumored specifications include a 5 " AMOLED + screen (possibly flexible? ) , 3GB RAM, 16MP camera (with OIS ? ) And 2MP front camera . While everything seems to be reasonable ( and possible) improvements compared to the previous unit, size the battery is rumored is something that deserves some attention . According to recent rumors, the S5 looks incredibly large 4000 mAh battery! put this in perspective a little , using 2600 mAh battery S4 and largest ship logo , Note 3 , only use a battery 3200 mAh . now I'm not sure how it will pack a big battery on a phone of this size , but if they do , I can win over some buyers with this one specification.

As for when this device could see the light of day , these latest rumors say that the production will start in January , a message will be carried out in February and will see a release in March . I'm a little skeptical about the release date , because it seems a little early, but it is said that Samsung is disappointed with sales S4 , then you might start to pick up some traction.

Again , these are all rumors for now , take them as such. If the production of truth will come into force in January , I'm sure some more reliable leaks appear soon.
