There is a QHD version of s5 coming with a newer exynos soc -S805 around may.
[Galaxy S 5 General] AndreiLux:
The new S5 "Prime" is called KQ in its model name for the Exynos variant.

It will come with an Exynos 5430 in the European/Global and Korean variants bundled together with an Intel XMM7260 as LTE modem for the EUR model and a Samsung Shannon300 for the KOR model.

The 5430 has a HEVC decoder. A QHD 5.2" screen is very likely.

Probably the US or Jap versions will be S805 based, but I don't have any info on that.
[Galaxy S 5 General] system.img:
So LTE for all Exynos variants this time?
[Galaxy S 5 General] AndreiLux:
Yes. The global model lineup seems similar to the S3's.
[Galaxy S 5 General] system.img:
Any word on the architecture, GPU, clock speed, etc?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Pako7:
CPU - 4*A15 + 4*A7; 200MHz - 2500MHz.. really - 200-2000 MHz

GPU - Mali T6**

Display - 5.2", QHD 1440*2560, dimension - 65*115 mm

sound - Wolfson WM5110 / Audience eS515 (audio + voice processor)
[Galaxy S 5 General] herandy:
And it will have a 64-bit architecture hopefully? :)

Nobody says that the premium will release a week after the start of sales sgs5.. I think at the end of May will present device, and in June-July - for sale. This may not be the device of the line Galaxy S, therefore no rivalry with SGS5 ;)
[Galaxy S 5 General] ProCision:
Will this be released to usa carriers? Also is there a FCC spec sheet out on it? Has it even been presented to the FCC?
[Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:

[Galaxy S 5 General] frettfreak:
I totally believe there IS a device like this in the works and it will come this year. I DONT believe that samsung would release it so close to the s5 launch. Its just not good business. Even coming out in June is going to piss a LOT of people off (myself included).
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
even if it comes out in july and is a whole new line, it will still piss people off and compete with the sgs5

Even the VP of samsung came out and said it.....the S line is successful and it's their flagship line...i doubt they will make a new line.....
[Galaxy S 5 General] Pako7:
yep.. time will tell. I personally wait until the premium, because have time until June

They got almost everything right with S5.

So speculation about S5-Prime obviously becomes interesting.

Now, whether Samsung calls it S5-Prime or S5-X or something totally different is up for debate.
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
whatever they call the new s5 (if it exists), if they release it within 6 months of S5.....its going to piss everyone off big time...this is a suicide move by them
[Galaxy S 5 General] frettfreak:
Totally agree. I would be a little pissed... However if they could do it a little closer to the 6 month mark, I can just use my jump plan on tmo, so it wouldn't be the end of the world. Lol
[Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Well May/the summer is almost here... time will tell. My guess is something does come out to rival the i6 and LG G3.
[Galaxy S 5 General] AndreiLux:
Like the S2 HD... or S3 LTE... or S4 LTE-A...
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
maybe they will call it the S5-S :laugh:
[Galaxy S 5 General] Pako7:
Andrei please say (you know more than we ;)) - prime coming out in the summer (June-July) or be moved to the fall (approximate release date with note4) ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] AndreiLux:
I don't have info on their timing.
[Galaxy S 5 General] atuarre:
RE

I don't see this happening. If they were going to do this, they should have launched this device everyone thinks is going to launch along the S5 because even the most ardent Samsung supporters would be really pissed.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stas333:
Im sure Samsung doesnt care if people are pissed or not. The fact is that the LG G3 and Iphone 6 should be coming out late summer. In order to compete with them, Samsung must produce a better phone. Even the CEO said that there is something in the works. SO, only time will tell.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ampm325:
I upgraded from the S2 Skyrocket, and it was released about a month after the original S2 without LTE.

I already wrote about sizes QHD-display in Prime_Ex5430
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
agreed...

i had the s2, s3, s4, and now s5....

i trusted them to come out with the best possible specs on a yearly basis...and not to hold out on us...

i understand the snapdragon 805 isn't available yet, but 3gb of ram is....and they could have made it aluminum but thought about profits instead

they will care once they lose their loyal fan base and we start looking into other phones like the LG G3, HTC, etc...
[Galaxy S 5 General] frankgreimes:
That's the risk early adopters are running, there will always be something better around the corner just the way it goes.

If the 805/810 wasn't ready there's nothing you can do about that, but like you said 3 GB are available. I'm glad they didn't make it full aluminium because for obvious reasons.
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
no, its not a risk...usually they went all out with the s2, s3, and s4

and they didn't go all out for the s5, but are going all out with the 2nd s5...thats going to piss people off....especially those who use upgrades, which I did to purchase this one..and now its too late to go back and wait
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
How much RAM will it have, 2-3-4-8GB?
[Galaxy S 5 General] gmann2k10:
This is so frustrating. I'm now ready to upgrade and have no idea whether to just go for the S5, or just hold out a bit longer see if any solid announcements on the 'prime' arise. Ive read could be out as early as May, i'd be gutted if i purchased the s5 now only for the prime to launch may! What to do, what to do hmm
[Galaxy S 5 General] system.img:
Rumors suggest 3GB.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skivnit:
You guys make me laugh it's a damn phone it will be outdated in 6 months just like TVs. you heard the rumor you could have waited. I bet you didn't believe it you went ahead ahead and bought it
[Galaxy S 5 General] stas333:
im waiting at least for the note to come out, by that time the Lg will have the new phone and maybe the this new S5 will be out also.
[Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
By that time the S6 rumors will be starting......

Sent from a Galaxy 5 light years away
[Galaxy S 5 General] gmann2k10:
New LG is out May/June, Note will be out around September, and if youre gonna wait till September then you'll think might aswell wait for s6 in april. Got a feeling the 'S5 prime' could be out Jun/Jul to compete with the new LG which will also be 2k display. Arg rumors, rumors, wish we had something solid!
[Galaxy S 5 General] degast:
The S5 is pretty solid.

Most likely, you'll be blown away by the stats of the S5 prime (IF that thing ever reaches existence...), but not short after that the S6 is going to hit (which IS a certainty!).
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
I also don't see any reason why Samsung fans or S5 owners should be disappointed if the "Galaxy F" comes out in the Summer, the S5 is a great device right now, one of the best experiences I've head with a phone and will last long and make you happy for a long time. The next big thing is always around the corner, and no company will hold back on new technology just cause ppl. bought a phone 3 month earlier.

Plus the "F" looks to launch in a category of it's own, premium price for premium materials, so it won't be a mass phone as Samsung will stick to plastic for the majority. There's a good reason for that: besides it's a more sensible choice cause of resistance against elements and access to battery, wireless charging etc., with all the future bendable and curved devices, metal is obviously a no go.
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
it is because they could have held the s5 release or have included better specs in the first place...it was rushed out..i think many of us would have waited if we knew something better would be out a few months later, rather than a year

just watch the backlash that samsung will get....especially after the samsung VP purposely lied, so we wouldn't wait

the S-series has always been top of the line...you can't just make something better and call it something else..
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
Do you really feel the S5 is a rushed phone? What are it's major issues?
[Galaxy S 5 General] gmann2k10:
It isn't much of an upgrade on the S4. Wheras it looks like the upgrade from S5 to the so called 'S5 prime' is a bigger leap.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ricecake2000:
I'm going to hold out and see how much this prime phone even costs or if it will even be released in the us. Some reports make it seem like it may be a Korea only. Kind of like the curve.

I'm thinking they will charge 1200 off contract for this thing and probably 349 or 399 on contract. (USD terms)
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
It's a bigger upgrade than the S4 was from the S3.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skivnit:
Except for the ram everything else is an upgrade, I have the s4 so I can tell you that
[Galaxy S 5 General] gmann2k10:
Ye, i'm not saying the S5 isn't an upgrade, i just feel specs wise the rumored 2560 x 1440 (2K) display and Snapdragon 805 CPU with Adreno 420 GPU and 3gb ram is a bigger step up than the S4 to S5. It should be what the S5 should have been. But its all speculation and rumor anyway so it might not even exist and we'll probably see all this in the Note 4/S6.
[Galaxy S 5 General] AndreiLux:
Sure as hell not. S4 improved every aspect over the S3, the S5 has what? A better camera, brighter screen, and IP67, that's all.
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
And the next tech will be an even bigger step, this is how technology advances. However, the S5 is a Q1 device, while SD805 and QHD displays are Q3, so what were they going to do, delay the S5 risking low QHD yield then release the N4 10 weeks later? The S series in Spring, a limited premium phone during the Summer and the Note in the Fall, this all sounds pretty well thought.

Sure, we may get phones with anti-gravity field so we don't have to hold them, but the S5 is a great phone right now and runs on the fastest SoC available right now. SD805 pushing QHD pixels on a 5" phone won't make any notable user difference. Stop creating disappointment where there isn't any. :good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] D33KK:
I'd be pretty annoyed, I like to have the latest and greatest and would be disappointed i'd need to sell my s 5
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
The S4 had a higher res screen and a faster SoC, but it hardly translated into better UI performance - it was a nice but bloated, uneven experience compared to the S5's smooth, more refined ride. It's true all around, TouchWiz performance, camera reliability, much prolonged battery life and better damage, dust and water resistance w/ better grip, plus an added layer of security - experiencing the S5 over the S4 feels a bigger leap in my opinion than the S4 over the S3.

But we drifted a little ashore here. If anything, I doubt the Galaxy F will be such a great step forward that S5 owners will regret their buy, then again, showing just how well rounded this year's Galaxy S is.
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:
no 3gb of ram, which is becoming the standard now starting with the note 3, and G3

agreed

yep!
[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
Then again, do you actually suffer from "just 2GBs", or are you just after the better spec sheet? Cause IMO the S5 runs smoother than the Note 3, but if you're unsatisfied, you can always wait for something better, or simply replace your phone every couple of months, and the "Galaxy F" should be your next before the Note 4 arrives, then the S6...

But it's today isn't it? And as of today, the S5 packs the fastest available SoC in maybe the best smartphone package available, it runs smooth, lasts long and offers a great experience, and will do so 1, 2, 5 years from now. Why bother about the future TODAY?
[Galaxy S 5 General] cmd512:
Exactly, this has already happened every year, not sure why this is such a surprise to some people in here. The only difference this time is... the base S5 simply wasn't a big enough jump from the original S4. So, I'd rather wait for the S5 "Prime" or if that's a bust, the S6.
[Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Funny how I called this and started this thread 2 months ago..... KNEW IT.
[Galaxy S 5 General] eyecon82:

[Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:

[Galaxy S 5 General] BoneXDA:
Technically he said "no premium S5", so if a 5.2" QHD SD805 full metal jacket Galaxy F comes out, it won't be an S5 variant but a new category, but who really cares about naming. At this rate you ppl. are heading toward heart attack, OMG S5 Active, how could you Samsung, OMG Galaxy F how could you, OMG Note 4 what the hell. Isn't it a bit silly expecting them to not do anything for a full year just cause you picked up a phone?

Plus add that UI smoothness isn't really related to memory (if there's a memory leak, system will eat up 2GB & 3GB just the same), and the S5 is actually smoother than the Note 3, so what's really the need? There's barely any app hitting huge memory numbers and 2GB manages the phone absolutely fine. Then again, you should not be bothered by technicalities or by the though of being outdated when you got something so productive on your hand, just enjoy it for crying out loud haha.

STUPIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Seriously, WHO THE F@#$ would want a stupid metal phone?? over a polycarbonate plastic phone that can be dropped, have its covers taken off and batteries switched, and WATER PROOF

Over stupid metal garbage??

Its like.. whats better

plastic garbage or

Or this metal!!

Come on people wake up!! stop being suckered into thinking METAL is some how better.. There is a reason we phased it out with almost every electronic.. Game consoles, dvd players.. TV's etc..

Plastics are an amazing materiel and something I love holding.. Metal IMO is for a knife, or the titanic.. Not for a world class state of the art phone
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
The reason metal was phased out was because its a pain in the ass to work with...not because metal is inferior. I believe HTC said it takes roughly 200 minutes to create the metal body on the HTC One, while Samsung can probably mold and cast a thousand plus plastic bodies in that time. TIME IS MONEY to manufacturers afterall.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stas333:
I have to agree, screw the metal. I'm happier with plastic.
[Galaxy S 5 General] fastfed:
While it might take longer to make, doesn't mean its better. We phased it out, because plastic is a a much better material.. I mean after all, they make GUNS out of it. Leave the barrels for metal, but the grips,slides, magazines and so on.. All plastics.

Plastic is the future. If we went back in time and showed people something plastic they would be blown away.

Drop an HTC One and it looks as if it went through war. Drop a plastic phone and its as if nothing happened (most times :) ) and its not just any plastic, its made well using polycarbonate.. Then at the end of the day, almost all these metal phones, guess what they all wrap around them?? Anyone?? Anyone?
[Galaxy S 5 General] msavic6:
There are versions of plastic which feel extremely premium and are more durable/stronger than metal but they are reserved for commerical airliners and other more expensive items.

Although the plastic build on the S5 is more practical than the metal build on the M8, it can still be argued that the metal build is more premium looking and feeling.

I mean just look at watches, the plastic G-Shock watches can survive a beating yet practically everyone would rather wear a stainless steel or titanium watch, the metal exhibits a sense of class, I cant imagine anyone wearing a G-Shock with a suit. Some people have this same vision with smartphones.
[Galaxy S 5 General] degast:
Honestly, plastic is superior to metal. They should start creating carbon fiber phones. Now THAT would be epic!
[Galaxy S 5 General] pähkinä:
I would. And my iPhone 5 with its metal chassis could take far more abusing then the galaxy s2 & s3 I had. And why couldn't you have a metal phone with removable battery and which is water proof? Though I couldn't care less about the removable battery and for a water proof phone I'd rather not have the removable back cover, because which do you think is less likely to leak?

Yes and the reason in the end is price. And I don't know what kind if junk you usually buy, but not every electronics is plastic. My DVD-player isn't plastic, my blu-ray-player isn't plastic, my amp isn't, my computer chassis isn't, my laptop isn't....

Now I'm not saying that everything has to be metal, but there's no way around it: plastic feels (and is) cheaper then metal and I prefer metal over plastic in all most every case.
[Galaxy S 5 General] da.trute:
I just dont believe these rumours, epecially as samsung officially announed this would not happen, they'd have a riot on their hands or at best millions of pissed off customers who would have gladly waited a couple of extra months for this model.

The other issue is that they don't really need an answer for the G3, they didn't need one for the G2 so why do they need one now, the Current S5 is selling in record numbers, Samsung have no need for a super S5

Personally I think it's the Note 4
[Galaxy S 5 General] NaimC:
I would be extremely annoyed if this happened, given I've just picked up an S5. I can't see it being the case for the simple fact that it would anger so many customers, unless it came several months later. That being said, it would be an amazing addition to Samsung's portfolio. A metal, premium designed S5 type device is what they need to better gain traction from the competition.
[Galaxy S 5 General] gmann2k10:
Ye who would want a stupid metal phone with way better specs!
[Galaxy S 5 General] devoidx:
lol its amusing to read the classic denial defense mechanisms kicking in from users that are stuck with a plastic S5 after hearing about the premium metal version actually materializing. I admit it is pretty frustrating but lets try not to pretend that an m8 style body is worse than cheap plastic. throwing in to a metal s5, an added ram and possibly better CPU, then our plastic S5 friends are already sporting an outdated device. But who knows, maybe its all rumors.
[Galaxy S 5 General] JoeFCaputo113:
I would rather all of the specs but the same body... I am clumsy and when I drink I'm clumsy X10000 and tend to drop my phone and metal dents and scratches way easier than plastic.

:LOL: seriously.. I will put an S5 against the M8/Iphone or any other metal housed phone.. Drop test, run over by cars, dragged along concrete. The list can go on.. I will bet anything the GS5 will survive better and look better.

Where is this quality coming from?? Simply looks?? Because I might give it that. MIGHT. But its not better. It can't bend, cant take a scratch, cant take a drop. It's inferior , that simple.. Just made because there are suckers who don't know any better.

I mean really, do you honestly THINK Samsung can't make a metal phone? Or somehow design it to stay within the same profit margins ?? Of course they can. And sadly you're right. They will probably make one because too many morons are thinking its the way to go.

Say good bye to removable batteries. And hello to possibly many other problems
[Galaxy S 5 General] devoidx:
I think Samsung definitely can make a metal phone but it hasn't, because it doesn't want to let go of the profit margin. The profit margin of m8 is much lower than that of galaxy lines. But, she shift has been towards metal phones and the indication that Samsung itself is putting out a metal phone as a PREMIUM variant speaks for itself.

Either way i think it's smart of samsung to atleast give the option to choose between plastic or metal. And i bet when you posted those pics of cars, the old metal car will take less damage when hitting a wall than that other car ;)
