Samsung makes some of the most sought after mobile devices on the market, however its camera offerings have not been completely at par with its rivals. A number of devices released this year came with optical image stabilization, whereas no Samsung device offered OIS despite countless rumors. Apart from that, the camera modules in its devices have received glowing reviews. One might expect Samsung’s camera offerings to get better over time, because if one is to believe reports coming in from Korea, the company has integrated its wireless and camera divisions.

What this means that Samsung’s camera division and its phone making division will now work directly with each other, so they’ll be able to work better as both divisions will be able to fully cooperate with each other. A Samsung official has been quoted in a local media report as saying that the “brand, sales, networks, software competency and manufacturing competitiveness of the wireless business division” will be integrated with the technical prowess of the camera division, which would result in competency for differentiating the company’s smartphones. Even if Samsung really has integrated these two divisions, and if the local media reports are true, then we’re likely to see improvements in the future. However, given the scale of an integration like this, its unlikely that any major results can be achieved in the very near future. So its likely that the Galaxy S5 might not have optical image stabilization after all.

We’re almost at the end of the year and with that being said, come 2014, there will be a ton of new technology waiting for us, such as smartphones and tablets and computers, and Samsung’s Galaxy S5 is safe to say one of the more highly-anticipated devices. We have heard a bunch of rumors recently and according to the latest one coming out of Korea, courtesy of Korean publication ETNews, word has it that the Samsung Galaxy S5 will have LDS antenna technology. Or at least some Galaxy S5 models. (more…)

It has been rumored a few times now that Samsung has made up its mind to release Galaxy S5 earlier than originally planned. It was said that the Korean manufacturer has made this decision because Galaxy S4 has not met its internal sales targets. While Samsung is yet to officially confirm anything about its flagship smartphone plans for 2014, famed technology reporter Eldar Murtazin claims that rumors of Galaxy S5 releasing in Q1, 2014 are false. According to him, next year’s flagship Galaxy smartphone will be released in April.

Murtazin’s timeline falls within the timeframe Samsung was initially believed to release Galaxy S5 in. He also says that the company is currently working on the premium smartphone we keep hearing about, but it hasn’t shown the device to its carrier partners as yet. It can’t be said for sure right now when that particular smartphone is going to be released. As per recent rumors, the Galaxy S5 might have a 64-bit Exynos processor, 5 inch flexible 2K display, a 20 megapixel camera, an eye scanner as well as a body fashioned out of metal. While Murtazin dashes hopes of an early Galaxy S5 release, he does say that the Galaxy Note 4 might release earlier than expected, in 2014. Since no official confirmation has come in from Samsung as yet, its best to take these predictions with a grain of salt.

We have heard rumors of the Samsung Galaxy S5, and given the success of the previous Galaxy S devices, it does not come as a surprise that Samsung would be looking to create another successor in their highly successful lineup of Android smartphones. Thanks to a sighting on GFXBench, a certain Samsung SM-G900S has made an appearance which has led to speculation that perhaps the device could be the Galaxy Round’s successor, or it could be the Galaxy S5.

It seems more than likely that it could be the Galaxy S5, or at least another high-end device from Samsung, namely thanks to its display which is set at 2560×1440. Given that curved displays can only go up to 720p HD at the moment, chances are this will not be the Galaxy Round 2. In fact that particular resolution is what the Galaxy S5 is rumored to feature: a 5” 2560×1440 display with a pixel density of 560ppi. The benchmarks also revealed a Snapdragon 800 chipset clocked at 2.5GHz, which is odd given that we heard the Galaxy S5 could feature a 64-bit Exynos chipset from Samsung, although there is a possibility that this could be the LTE version.

Take it with a grain of salt for now, but keep in mind that benchmarks can be faked. However we will be keeping our eyes peeled for more information, so if the Galaxy S5 is your next handset, then the model number SM-G900S might be one worth keeping an eye on.

It was just recently when the alleged specs of the Samsung Galaxy S5 was leaked and according to the rumors, one of the alleged features of the upcoming device is a 16MP camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) on board. However as it turns out, a rumor from ETNews, it has been suggested that perhaps the Samsung Galaxy S5’s camera might not come with OIS after all. Apparently this is due to Samsung unable to get all the necessary components in time, which means that OIS for the Galaxy S5 will be omitted and instead be reserved for Samsung’s devices later in 2014, presumably the Galaxy Note 4 as being one of them.

Other alleged specs include a 64-bit Samsung Exynos chipset or a Snapdragon chipset from Qualcomm. It is also rumored to feature 3GB of RAM, a 4,000mAh battery, and will most likely come with Android 4.4 KitKat on board. We have also heard how it might be possible that the phone could sport a metal casing. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is rumored to go into production in January 2014 and is expected to see a release in March 2014, meaning that there is a good chance the handset will make its debut at CES 2014 or MWC 2014 (although we think the latter will be more likely).
