According to Korean media outlets citing sources inside Samsung, the Galaxy S5 will see its official announcement in January next year. The earlier than expected release is dictated by the disappointing sales of the Galaxy S4.

It appears that despite the excellent sales performance of the flagship, Samsung is still not really pleased and think it could've done better. As a result, the company is pushing the Galaxy S5 release to mid-January, instead of March as was the case this year and May as it was in 2012.
The actual market availability of the next Samsung flagship is tipped for February, which makes sense if the actual announcement is pulled for the start of the year.
As far as actual specifications of the Galaxy S5 are concerned, Samsung is expected to debut its 64-bitExynos 5430 chip, which will feature 8 cores with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing capabilities.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 is tipped to boast an updated 16MP camera with enhanced low-light performance and optical image stabilization. Earlier, the company unveiled its ISOCELL image sensor, which is expected to debut on the upcoming flaghip.
All of the information above is nothing more than speculation and hasn't been confirmed by Samsung in any way. However, given that Samsung has pushed its last flagship 10 months after its predecessor, it won't be a surprise if we get another update just as quickly.

...64-bitExynos 5430 chip

:eeek: is this a first in the industry ? :wow:

Edit: Followed the link and here's a quote from GSM

The 64-bit CPUs are a must-have for devices with 4GB or more RAM and there is a chance Android 4.4 KitKat brings 64-bit support. There is also a probability Samsung unveils a flagship with 4GB of RAM next year, since the Note 3 already has 3GB.

Creating threads on stupid,most non-significant,stereotyped and possibly despised topic such as another damn phone from samsung with like thousand cores, 100GB ram, 22 feet display is not making any point here. Useless thread.

If you think so, move on, instead of whining in this thread.

Really missed the part who gave you the grave authority on other's behalf, to decide where and when to move on? As the country is, this thread and the very forum is open to comments and criticism. Learn to receive and counter the same, instead of perceiving one-liner dictations as commands.

Yeah yeah whinning is now termed as critisizing.. BTW contructive critisism is fun to read and counter for rather than blantly ridiculing anything and everything on internet.

It might be an useless thread for people who already own a decent and very recent droid, but for someone who is using a Galaxy S (example), this thread will give him something to wait for instead of buying a S4 now. How about that?? ever thought about anybody else other than oneself??

ever heard about Google where people easily finds petty information such as this? whats the point in making a thread out of it and then again expecting people who are naturally apathetic to such triviality to "move on" ? you're counter arguments are welcome, 'll be glad to see some though.

P.S. On a mature note, it does not take one person to post in some forum to "think" about themselves, there are better ways... I'm not a Samsung or Droid hater or an anti-Samsung god of WP-justice or whatever, i am simply asserting that Samsung releasing an S5 is so naive a subject that it could be dearly avoided to be discussed over.

This is an open forum.. I can post whatever i want. Got that.
And it's not a useless post. If u don't like then just..... Move on. :mad: or should i use more decent language for which i I'm infamous here. As per ur stupid comment every one can find every info on Google then why this forum even exists... :banghead:

^ no they don't, there are collective information and derived and consolidated data on various subjects which are posted here with exclusive touch of wisdom from SMEs which are vague or scattered in internet and thats why the forum exists, and be careful on your threat of language to me, your notoriety does not scare me, if you could come up with solid informative articulation on the very purpose of this thread, i would rather fill it with more information, but being just mediocre enough to babble "move on..move on" is depicting your deficit of said knowledge.
