More info of Samsung’s upcoming mart phone rumoured to be a high-end Galaxy S5 or a new F-series premium line has emerged again. According to SamMobile, the current Galaxy S5 was supposed to feature a QHD display but they had to settle for a Full HD display possibly due to production challenges. They added that the new device carries the internal codename KQ which is speculated to be a high end sibling of the current Galaxy S5 which is codenamed K.
Their trusted source shared that the development of the device is half-way through and it will be running on Samsung’s newer Exynos 5430, a faster 4G LTE modem and a Quad HD display. The Exynos 5430 is a Octa-Core unit with 4x A15 cores clocking at 2.1GHz and another 4x A7 cores running at 1.5GHz. Graphic performance is said to be better as well with a a faster Mali 600MHz GPU.
To keep up with faster 4G LTE speeds, the new device supports Cat 6 LTE with download speeds up to 300Mbps. Instead of using Qualcomm’s solution, the new device is speculated to feature Intel’s XMM7260 LTE modem for international models while the local Korean market units will be equipped with Samsung’s own LTE modem.
So far it is still too early to confirm any of these features would make it in the final product. Samsung is known to experiment with heaps of prototypes with various hardware specs. Earlier on, the new high-spec Galaxy S5 variant was rumoured with a 5.2″ Quad HD screen and runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 805 processor.
If a higher spec Galaxy S5 is real, this would mean that we are looking at 3 flagship models in a single year. Or this is probably just a limited release premium model like the Galaxy Round.
