GalaxyS5 , News , Price , smart phones / October 4, 2013

Some new rumors have cropped up this week about the Galaxy S5 by Samsung including one about a new release date, another regarding potential display type and a third rumor about its overall feature set. Yet another rumor states that anticipated buyers are going to be very, very disappointed with what Samsung actually releases. So let’s get down to business with the newest rumors in the mill today.   Fans Will Be Disappointed? Really? How could any think that rumor possible? Well, the International Business Times thinks it is possible – and we think it could be true based on what we wrote last time. The rumor that Samsung is dropping the 64-bit processor, Android Kit-Kat and the fingerprint sensor isn’t a new one, and it’s one we talked about already. So far, while we can see why fans would be disappointed, we don’t think it’ll affect sales much. Simply stated, the hype has increased anticipation for the new device on so much so that we’ve seen people say that they don’t much care what features Galaxy S5 will offer, they just want it released – and now. Galaxy S5 Display Type According to a few mainstream media outlets, the…

Samsung Drops Kit-Kat, 64-Bit CPU and Fingerprint Sensor from Galaxy S5
GalaxyS5 , News , Price , smart phones / October 2, 2013

Three new rumors surfaced over the weekend about the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone, but before we get into what those rumors are, let’s recap what we know so far. The Galaxy S5 is rumored to be released in February at the Mobile World Congress. The yearly event has always attracted the biggest names in the mobile industry, so it would be no surprise if Samsung did announce its Galaxy at the event. No 64-bit Processor? Yes, you read that right. Samsung is said to be getting rid of the 64-bit CPU, according to the latest rumors. This is a truly unfortunate situation if it is true because most Galaxy fans really, really wanted the S5 to use a 64-bit because it should have offered more power, faster processing and just better performance overall. Though Shin Jong-kyun, CEO of Samsung, said in an interview with the Korea Times that Samsung will indeed use 64-bit processors, they unfortunately won’t get to the manufacturing line in time for the Galaxy S5 release date, we have our own theories as to why it won’t be included. More on that in a bit, but first… No Android Kit-Kat The biggest problem with not…

New Galaxy S5 Rumor: Fingerprint Sensor Delayed
GalaxyS5 , News , smart phones / September 27, 2013

Rumored Galaxy S5 Sensor Not Stable Enough Oh boy, you wouldn’t believe the rumors circulating today about the up and coming Galaxy S5 smartphone by Samsung due out soon… With the seemingly never-ending flow of speculation and rumors about the device, it’s no wonder no one really knows what is going on. No Fingerprint Sensor Security Features Today’s rumors concern the security features supposed to be available on the Galaxy S5 including the fingerprint sensor that the Nexus 5 is getting and that the iPhone already has. Apparently, Samsung is unsure as to whether they want to add the technology to the newest iteration of the phone. The security is allegedly the most promising to date, but it still has its flaws. Apparently, hackers have already devised multiple ways to get into devices using the sensors, and this could be why Samsung doesn’t want to take a chance at using the technology just yet, though the same rumors are claiming that the next Note will “definitely” get the tech.  however, Samsung contradicted the rumor, saying: “We never officially admitted that Samsung was weighing the fingerprint system and Knox for Galaxy Note 3 for security functions. We are not yet developing…

GalaxyS5 , News , smart phones / September 26, 2013

While there have been more rumors and speculations than facts about Samsung Galaxy S5, people generally agree that it will be released in 2014. The attention the Samsung Galaxy S5 release date has caught indicates that it will be among the grandest smart phone launches of the year. Samsung has developed a reputation for consistency when it comes to releasing its smart phones, which is why many experts are expecting the launch of the Galaxy S5 around March or April. This is because the company released its Galaxy S4 in April 2013. Samsung is expected to start producing its newest flagship smart phone towards the end of 2013. If the rumors are true, then the S5 will shape the future of the Galaxy S series. Samsung Galaxy S5 is expected to feature an aluminum exterior and 64-bit processor to rival the iPhone 5S. Note the close similarity between the names: 5S and S5. It is also expected to have a new 16-megapixel camera module featuring optical image stabilization, which will make it the first smart phone to use the latest technology. According to the Electronic Times News, the company had considered the OIS feature for its Galaxy Note 3 but…

Newest Galaxy S5 Rumors: Proof of Metal Casing & ISOCELL
GalaxyS5 , News , smart phones / September 26, 2013

It never ends. Fans want to know what Samsung is doing with the Galaxy S5, and so does the media. Along with the stories we’ve published here at Galaxy5us.com, we’ve offered up tidbits and rumors flying across the intrawebs, and this post will be no different. New rumors are flying but this time there appears to be a bit of information to prove them. Let’s get on with it, shall we? Metal Chassis Probably the biggest rumor of all flying around currently is that Samsung has decided on a metal body for Galaxy S5, instead of the cheaper feeling plastic it has used until now on the Galaxy line of smartphones and tablets, not to mention the Note 3. While there are too many reports of this rumor to determine who started it, we think that the more important issue is the proof behind the rumor. A report written by Android Authority states that Samsung is in the market for metal casings – about 30,000 metal casings to be exact. Since the Galaxy S5 is the next phone up with a release date, one can only assume that Samsung is slating the casings use with the S5. If the Galaxy…

With all the amazing features that may be available on Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S5 cell phone, it is anticipated that the retail Galaxy S5 price will be no less than $700. Given the pricing on the previous models, and the changes that will be implemented into the new device, The S5 will most definitely carry a high bill. The high bill may disappoint some enthusiasts. However, postpaid carriers will offer a fair discount on it, and some prepaid carriers may offer the consumers a financing option. The Samsung Galaxy S5 has an anticipated launch date of May of 2015. Tech savvy consumers will be delighted by the bells and whistles that the manufacturers will add to this device. First, the Samsung Galaxy S5 may have two versions.

This will give consumers the option to choose what they prefer. The CEO of Samsung would like to implement the Tizen operating system into the phone, but many consumers still enjoy working with their favorite Android software. Therefore, the company may offer the two variants of its most prominent…

Galaxy S5: Samsung Tizen or Android Kit-Kat?
GalaxyS5 , News , smart phones / September 22, 2013

Will Galaxy S5 feature the newest Android Kit-Kat or Samsung’s own Tizen mobile operating system? With the speculation surrounding the potential future release of the Galaxy S5 from fans getting crazier each day that passes, what operating system the company’s newest heir to the Galaxy throne will use is a big question, and one that fans want Samsung to answer – and quick. Known Galaxy 5S Specifications While Samsung has yet to confirm anything about the newest Galaxy to date, there are, however, numerous rumors and in the case of Galaxy phones, the rumors are typically not too far off from reality. Some information considered reality and to which most experts agree includes: A carbon fiber body instead of aluminum A 64-bit CPU A 20.7 MP camera 4K resolution on video Sharp’s IGZO screen display The one thing the experts cannot agree on is which mobile OS the phone will sport – Androud’s latest iteration, Kit-Kat, or Samsung’s own Tizen. Samsung certainly wouldn’t try to fix something that’s obviously not broken – would they? Samsung just might. The issue here is that Android is expensive. Yes, really, it is – but not for consumers. Well, not directly, anyway. Any company…

GalaxyS5 , News , smart phones / September 19, 2013

The new Samsung galaxy phone, known as the S5, will be hitting markets in 2014 with much anticipation and excitement not only from the company, but consumers as well. While the new phone has been a closely guarded secret for well over a year, certain aspects of it are starting to leak out to the public. Already anticipating its release, consumers are eating up any and all information they can get about the phone, putting pressure on the company to ramp up production and get it on the market in time for Christmas, if possible. Perhaps the biggest news concerning the phone’s release is it having 64-bit processing, much like Apple’s iPhone. In doing this, the Galaxy S5 specs are poised to make the Samsung Galaxy S5 sure to draw some attention. The 64-bit processing should give the phone a power boost, letting users do a number of other applications with it besides games. Since there are very few apps written for 64-bit processing, it may take a while for the technology to totally catch up. The new Samsung galaxy phone, which is the flagship phone for the company, is sure to give the iPhone a run for its money….

Breaking The Samsung Galaxy S5
News / November 8, 2011

Can the Samsung Galaxy S5 survive its very first drop on a wooden floor or hard concrete? Besides wanting to know all the details on the processor, RAM memory, camera, or fingerprint scanner, many buyers are interested in the sturdiness of the device as well. Let’s face it; your phone is prone to drop at some point. Here are some helpful details on what will most likely happen when dropping your brand new Samsung for the first time.   Don’t Lose Your Grip   Losing grip of the S5 while holding it pocket-level is likely to create some scratches around the sides of the device. The good news is that the touchscreen will not suffer any damages. Dropping the phone while at head height – which often times occurs when on an actual call – will also not affect the phone’s screen. The same drop test performed on a Samsung S4 device has caused damage to the back panel. The test performed by specialists on the S5 resulted in a direct screen landing and the back cover removal because of the impact with the ground. Dropping the phone while holding it as high as ten feet showed the amazing sturdiness…
