Samsung has a new flagship smartphone coming soon, likely at Mobile World Congress next week, and new details are emerging about what the next smartphone from the Korean mobile giant will be packing. It’ll have a sharper, larger 5.2-inch display according to Bloomberg, better battery and camera, and possibly both eye- and fingerprint-scanning technology.
The fingerprint scanner report comes from Sammobile, a company-focused site that has a decent track record when it comes to Samsung hardware rumors. The site confirmed yesterday that Samsung’s Galaxy S5 will feature a fingerprint sensor, which is able to register up to eight different fingerprints for use in performing different tasks, from unlocking the device to launching specific apps, as well as opening special personal folders and enabling a new Private Mode that unveils hidden files and apps. You swipe your finger across the home key, where the sensor is located, to use stored fingerprint functions, unlike on the iPhone 5s, where only holding your finger on the sensor is required.
As for the other features reported by Bloomberg, they include the standard sorts of improvements that Android OEMs include in their generational updates. The display is said to be 5.2 inches diagonally, which is 0.2 inches larger than the current Galaxy S4′s screen. It’s also said to be “sharper,” which presumably means it’ll get a higher resolution than the current 1080 x 1920 (which still amounts to a whopping 441 ppi).
Details of the improvements to camera and battery tech aren’t included in the Bloomberg report, but previous reports peg the rear camera at 16MP, and battery capacity rumors range from a fast-charging 2,900 mAh lithium ion battery to a more capacious 3,200 mAh.
We won’t have to wait long to find out who’s right: Samsung’s Unpacked5 event happens on February 24 at 8 PM CET, and we’ll be providing you live updates of what’s announced right here at TechCrunch as they happens.

For many iOS users, the concept of backing up their iPhones and iPads to ones PC is a familiar one — just plug it into iTunes, hit a button, and wait around for an undetermined amount of time. For Android users, however, the idea of syncing one’s phone to a PC may be a bit more foreign. Back in April, Samsung quietly launched SideSync software in order to both back up a user’s phone while also allowing a laptop’s mouse to dictate actions on the mobile. Things like copy / paste and drag / drop can be accessed while connected, and users can even pull a virtual copy of their phone up while mousing around on their laptop. For those needing a few visuals to get their noodle wrapped around it all, just click through the break.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is slowly making its way to U.S. carriers in the coming weeks as a number of them have already started slashing the price of their in-stock Galaxy S3s in preparation, and today, we’re starting to see a number of commercials starting to roll out promoting the “next big thing.”
The 60-second U.K. ad focuses primarily on the Samsung Galaxy S4′s hardware by showcasing the device in many, many, many angles with extremely dramatic music playing in the background. Once the introduction of the product is over, Samsung highlights a number of the Galaxy S4′s features such as its dual-shot mode where you could throw your face anywhere within a photo by using both of its rear-facing and front-facing cameras. They also highlight the S4′s Air View and its Photo Album. (more…)
