SAMSUNG is expected to reveal its new flagship
smartphone at Mobile World Congress on 24 February. An invitation has been send to journalists to attend
an event at the Centre Convencions Internacional Barcelona, entitled
'Unpacked5'.
Rumours had previously been circulating in the Korean press that
manufacturing of the Samsung Galaxy S5 would begin in Vietnam in January 2014,
with a view to releasing the handset at the end of the quarter.
The highly-anticipated Galaxy S5 is rumoured to have
a 5- to 5.2-inch HD screen that would give the smartphone a resolution of
2560x1440 pixels. Howeverm it is very unlikely that it will be curved or
flexible like the recent Galaxy Round and LG G Flex.
Back in September, Samsung's co-chief executive Shin
Jong-Kyun told journalists in South Korea that the company's next smartphones
will have 64-bit processing functionality, like Apple iPhone 5s, but it is not
known whether this will arrive with the Galaxy S5. Other leaks have pointed to
octo- or even quad-core chips instead. 4GB of RAM has also been tipped.
A couple of leaked images suggest that the S5 might
be designed with a combination of aluminium and the faux-leather look of the
Note 3, giving it a more premium feeling than the plastic Galaxy S4.
Samsung's TouchWiz user interface is also getting a
big refresh by the look of some of the leaked images. The revamped interface
features brightly coloured tiles with sports results, messages from contacts,
flight updates, fitness monitor, maps and local events.
