The folks over at Samsung has just confirmed that they have a 64-bit Exynos chipset in the works, and it is being prepared for a full fledged debut in due time. Citing a number of “technical preparations”, this new chipset should arrive sometime this quarter – which would also mean that there is a pretty good chance of seeing it in action in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 flagship that will be announced next year. This particular 64-bit Exynos chipset will enable additional memory to be addressed, in addition to faster DDR4 units to see action which Samsung so happens to be preparing for 2014, too.

What have we heard about the Samsung Galaxy S5 so far? Well, for starters, it has been rumored to arrive with an eye sensor (take that, TouchID!) alongside the possibility of a 16-megapixel camera that could very well be a Sony component. Well, to have it arrive with a 64-bit Exynos processor might just be the icing on the cake.

Will we be able to see the Galaxy S5 appear in January next year, or perhaps in time for a late February launch? Only time will tell, but increased pressure from the competition might just see it arrive sooner rather than later.

Samsung has in the past gotten a bit of flack from the public regarding its choice of material for its smartphones, which have namely been plastic as opposed to using more “premium” materials such as metal or glass which are used by their competitors (HTC One and Sony Xperia Z come to mind). We had heard a rumor suggesting that the upcoming Galaxy S5 could feature a metal body although a new rumor has surfaced, suggesting that Samsung could be sticking to a plastic construction for the Galaxy S5, but will feature a faux leather back similar to that of the Galaxy Note 3. While the source is not the most accurate or reputable, given Samsung’s choice of materials in the past, we wouldn’t be surprised if the Galaxy S5 did indeed stick to the use of plastic as with its predecessors.

Despite the use of plastic, Samsung has enjoyed immense success with their Galaxy S-lineup and we doubt that will change regardless of whatever material Samsung goes with, although admittedly it would be a nice change of pace. Other rumored features of the upcoming Galaxy S5 include an eye sensor, a possible 64-bit Exynos chip, as well as a possible announcement in January 2014, presumably during CES. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but what do you guys think? Does the idea of another plastic Galaxy S device put you off, or do you not care?

Earlier this year Samsung launched the Galaxy S4, its latest flagship Android smartphone. The device generated a lot of hype and sold like hot cakes around the world. Samsung sold 20 million Galaxy S4 units in the first two months alone, and has continued to sell millions after that. Though since then, the company hasn’t revealed any official sales figures. Then there have been reports that overall Galaxy S4 sales have been disappointing, missing the company’s internal projections, though Samsung hasn’t publicly confirmed any of this. Rumor has it that Samsung has pushed the Galaxy S5 launch to January 2014, and that it will flood the market with units in February, a couple of months ahead of its usual March/April timeframe.

Making this move is likely to shake things up once again, by merely pushing the launch by a couple of months, Samsung might be able to make up for the alleged disappointing sales of the Galaxy S4. This is purely speculative right now, the company hasn’t given any indication that it intends to push forward the Galaxy S5 launch. We’ve been hearing rumors about the device recently, it is expected to have a new design, a 16 megapixel camera with optical image stabilization and a Exynos 5430 64 bit processor. Samsung is also expected to shun plastic, opting for a metal chassis instead for the Galaxy S5.

There were some who were a little disappointed by the Samsung Galaxy S4 earlier this year when it was discovered that the South Korean company turned to plastic once again, instead of metal, like what Apple, Nokia, HTC, and Sony did. Samsung’s answer at that time was that plastic was more durable in terms of flexibility, so when dropped it would not be as damaged compared to metal, which we guess makes sense. However it looks like Samsung could be having a change of heart as recent rumors have surfaced suggesting that Samsung could be turning to metal for the Galaxy S5 which is expected to see a release in 2014.

The report comes from the Taipei Times who claims that Samsung could tap Catcher Technology to make the metal casing for the upcoming device. For those unfamiliar, Catcher Technology is the same company behind the casings for the Apple MacBook Air and iPad mini, so it is safe to say that the company has experience in the matter. We are still a pretty long way off from Samsung making an official announcement so take it with a grain of salt for now, but what do you guys think? Will the Galaxy S5 be the first all-metal Samsung smartphone? More importantly, are you looking forward to such a design?
