Samsung is expected to unveil its 2014 flagship smartphone later this month, at the Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona. Before that happens, we can be sure that new rumors and leaks will come in almost every single day, even though the official announcement isn’t that far off. Today isn’t any different. An image of what is claimed to be Samsung Galaxy S5 retail packaging has surfaced online, hinting at the purported specifications of this highly anticipated smartphone.

Oppo has been teasing the Find 7 handset for a while now by confirming the device’s existence and even some of its specs, but we still have no idea on when they are planning on actually announcing it. Given that MWC 2014 is around the corner, many have speculated that could be when Oppo will be taking the wraps off the device, but then again maybe not. Oppo has recently been posting a handful of teaser images which some have speculated to hint at the device’s announcement.

These teaser images are of random objects and numbers and after careful deduction, some have arrived at the conclusion that the Find 7 could be announced on the 19th of March 2014 in Beijing. How did they arrive at that conclusion? Some of the images, like the one above, show a string of random numbers which some have taken to represent a date. Another image shows the numbers “798” which is apparently the name of an art district in Beijing and also the same place where another company, OnePlus, announced their own handset. In any case if this is true, it looks like Oppo could be skipping MWC 2014 in favor of their own event, but we’ll definitely be keeping our eyes peeled for more info.

Come MWC 2014, Samsung is expected to hold their Unpacked 5 event on the 24th of February. The company recently sent out invites and now thanks to a new teaser image that Samsung has posted onto Twitter, we might be getting our first official look of the new UI that will be making its way onto future Samsung Galaxy devices, namely the Samsung Galaxy S5 which has to be one of the more highly-anticipated smartphones of 2014. The icons don’t specifically mention any apps or devices, but they are reminiscent of the leaked Magazine UI that will allegedly make its way onto the Galaxy S5.

Samsung has in the past been criticized over its TouchWiz UI. They aren’t the first as there are many out there who feel that Android OEMs shouldn’t put their own interface on their devices as it would cause unnecessary lag due to the added features which may or may not be appreciated by the user. However with the new Magazine UI, it looks like Samsung will be shaking things up a bit as the interface does look a lot cleaner, although admittedly we are reminded of Windows Phone when it comes to that tiled interface. In any case it will be interesting to see what Samsung will be bringing to the table so check back with us during MWC 2014 for the details!
