The announcement is expected by the end of February, at Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona, ??or at most a little later in an event exclusively dedicated to it.

Among the main novelties which characterize this new generation of Galaxy S, and on which the Korean company is working hard, there’s body design . This, according to the executive vice president of mobile division at a recent interview with Bloomberg colleagues, contrary to what happened with the evolutionary transition from S3 to S4, where consumers do not were able to perceive a big difference between the two products from the physical point of view, with the Galaxy S5, will have a back to basics . Especially with regard to the body and the display.

A phrase that alludes to a new design for the smartphone, which almost certainly forsake the assembly diagrams of the previous models to forge new ones with the unusual lines . As for the body, however, it seems that the Korean company wanted to please all its members, divided between supporters of the plastic and metal.

In doing so, the company will have two versions of its top of the range, but in this case fully share the hardware and differentiate them will be just the type of material used for the rear bodywork.

OPERATING SYSTEM and INTERFACE .

On a question you are sure: Samsung Galaxy S5 debut with the Android operating system in version 4.4 KitKat. However, according to the well-known evleaks, Samsung would be working on a new proprietary interface to implement, as well as the future top of the range, even on the new Pro range of tablet Galaxy Note and Galaxy Tab differences that this new custom interface should have with the current TouchWiz, who begins to feel the passage of time, concern the style icon and one of the coffins of state.

According to the latest rumors, the smartphone should be characterized by a marked improvement in functionality Air Gesture and Air View , which models already on the market in the year just ended, namely the Galaxy S4 and Notes 3, allow users to use the device simply by using gestures. The system that handles was developed by Synaptics that, according to some information gathered by ETNews, will provide an improved version of Samsung Electronics for installation on its new devices.

In this way, the Galaxy S5 allow use of the features Air View and Air Gesture at a distance from the screen greater than is currently the case with the S4. But what most intrigues us is the ability to find the S-Pen technology passive . Namely, to use the stilus Samsung, although it is not expected A dedicated housing in the body of the terminal, to bring to a higher level user interaction with the smartphone.

FEATURES

reports so far on the leaked specifications claim that the smartphone will be equipped with a Samsung Exynos processor or Qualcomm Snapdragon . The benchmark recently emerged on GFXBench, which tested a device with model number SM-G900S, integrate a 2.5 GHz CPU and a display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 with Android OS 4.4 KitKat.

As the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 has an output of 2.3 GHz, it is believed that this new processor is the Snapdragon 805 , a new generation of SoC with a quad-core Krait 450 2.5 Ghz and a Adreno 420 graphics processor , Qualcomm unveiled at CES in Los Angeles is currently in progress.

The resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels is subjected to the benchmark for the SM-G900S display corresponds to a 5.25 “ with a density of 560 ppi , a figure consistent with the intention of increasing the density of Samsung for its smartphones in 2014. Specifically, then, being a three hundred reports, it is possible that Samsung’s display panel choose a LTPS LCD (low temperature polysilicon) produced by Sharp instead of the usual AMOLED produced by Samsung itself.

The Asian giant, in fact, it is having some problems in the production of AMOLED 2K , especially regarding the volumes of production itself, and therefore destined to S5 a number of potentially too high to meet future demand, we are talking about millions of pieces. LTPS screens, however, can safely handle 2K and generally have a brightness and time of life higher than the AMOLED. Among the other “problems” of AMOLED are numbered colors excessively “fired” and artificial, aspects that make this type of panel is not appreciated by all users.

Recently, then, Samsung has just acquired a 3% stake in Sharp , an investment now will bear fruit. The news of the change of display technology is obviously to be taken with the tongs and it is still unknown if the upcoming Galaxy S5 the use. The multimedia sector brag a rear camera with BSI sensor to 20 megapixels and Optical Image Stabilizer .

Samsung would be interested also to a retinal scanner technology iris , which already has a patent. According to the information on the latter, the scanner will scan the iris to provide access to the smartphone when the latter is locked. How? The proximity sensor, located just above the display, will receive the exact moment when an object approaches the camera and enable the detection of the iris.

But why this technology has been chosen and that, for example, carried out by Apple with the fingerprint reader? Simple tools that allow iris scans are far more efficient and faster than those for the fingerprint reader, allowing, once integrated duty, utilizzarne for a variety of uses. As for the opening of media files you want to protect or payment in mobility of specific transactions.

S5 Galaxy could finally arrive with a 2900 mAh battery but not alone: ??according to rumors spread by PhoneArena, the new flagship will use a new technology that will offer 20 % more capacity of the same battery even if occupy the same footprint. This means more space for other components but with a more powerful battery in performance, or a device more compact than in the past.

The battery also will recharge times faster with a new internal structure that uses a silicon anode instead of the usual graphite: the technology behind the new battery instead comes directly from the laboratories of ‘ Stanford University and this particular type is manufactured and marketed by Amprius, a startup based in Silicon Valley.
