Are you worried that Samsung won’t release the Galaxy S5 for your call carrier? A new rumor courtesy of SamMobile.com suggests that the South Korean company will release their upcoming flagship smartphone on the nation’s top four cell carriers: Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, AT&T and Sprint, offering consumers a greater amount of freedom over choosing their coverage and plans. What We Know About The Galaxy S5’s Carrier Options Unfortunately, we’re left to speculate over which U.S. carriers will offer the Samsung Galaxy S5. Even with a release just a couple months away (or sooner), Samsung remains quite on the hardware, software and carrier speces of their upcoming flagship smartphone. The good news is that some rather “interesting” evidence has sprung up, suggesting that the Samsung Galaxy S5 will in fact be available for Verizon Wireless, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile. Earlier this week, be covered a story which involved a photo that was reportedly taken using the Samsung Galaxy S5’s rear-facing camera. The picture isn’t clear or detailed by any means, but it contained some interesting EXIF data which hinted towards a 16-megapixel camera. This is a huge news for people like myself who use their smartphone camera on a daily basis….

With an expected launch date less than 2 months away, Samsung remains quite regarding their upcoming Galaxy S5’s hardware specs. This has opened the floodgates to dozens of rumors and reportedly “leaked” information, which we frequently discuss here at galaxy5us.com. While we’ve heard plenty of rumors about the Galaxy S5’s processor, battery, metal and plastic shell variations, etc., there hasn’t been much talk about its camera — until now. Earlier this week, a picture emerged from a Flipboard test account which suggests the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 will sport a massive 16-megapixel rear-facing camera. Brace yourself for this Picasso-esque photo… because here it is! Yes, this is the actual photo posted by the Flipboard user @123fliptest. It probably won’t win any awards for its exceptional quality, but the most intriguing information lies in its exchangeable image file format (or what’s more commonly referred to as EXIF). As some of you may already know, EXIF is hidden data found in image files, and it may include things like shutter speed, exposure compensation, metering system, whether or not flash was used, ISO number, date, time, auxiliary lens and resolution. According to reports, the benchmark tests using this photo revealed a 16-megapixel camera,…

Last week, we brought you news suggesting that Samsung’s future flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5, would be released in London, England sometime in March. There’s still no official word on the Galaxy S5’s release date, but this would fall in line with Samsung’s statement at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) claiming it would hit stores around in early spring. Samsung Galaxy Gear 2 Smartwatch On The Horizon But there’s another exciting development surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S5’s release: according to ZDNet Korea, Samsung will launch the Galaxy S5 alongside the Galaxy Gear 2 smartwatch. Sources close to Samsung spilled the beans to ZDNet Korea, creating a firestorm of hype and anticipation by tech analysts and consumers alike. If you read the ZDNet Korea article previously mentioned (don’t worry, it’s translated into English), you’ll notice the “source” also reinforces the rumor hinting toward a mid-March release in London, England for the Samsung Galaxy 5. This is exciting news for anyone who’s still holding out for a Samsung Galaxy S5 rather than purchasing the current S4 model. Can We Trust The Galaxy Gear 2 Rumor? Unfortunately, there’s no easy answer to this question. Sometimes the rumors are right, while other times they…

Hold on and prepare for launch, because a new source suggests Samsung will release their flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5, in London, England around mid-March. At the recent Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, a company spokesperson stated that it was “highly likely” the Galaxy S5 would be released in Q1 of this year. Ever since then, industry analysts have been working around the clock to try and pinpoint a more precise date. This time, we have a report that Samsung will release the device around mid-March in London, England. It’s important to note that there’s still no official word on an exact date. We’re left to speculate on rumors leaked by insiders close to the South Korean tech company. With that said, this latest rumor comes from a reliable source that’s known to provide accurate information on upcoming smartphones and tech products. Will The Galaxy S5 See a Mid-May London Launch?

A couple months ago, we discussed a rumor suggesting that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 would feature advanced iris-scanning technology, allowing users to unlock their device by looking into the camera. Some people were excited after hearing this rumor, while others claimed it would be an “invasion of their privacy.” Regardless of which side of the fence you were on, it looks like Samsung is ditching the iris-scanning technology and going with the fingerprint unlocking method instead. If you want some next-generation eye-scanning technology, you’ll have to go with the Google Glass. According to a source for the Korea Herald, Samsung will not pursue the eye scanner for their upcoming flagship device, the Galaxy S5. Why Did Samsung Scrap The Galaxy S5’s Iris Scanner? Apple has received praise for their simple yet highly effective fingerprint scanner, so why shouldn’t Samsung follow their lead? Of course, this begs the question: why did Samsung decide to ditch the Galaxy S5’s iris scanner in the first place? The Korea Herald offers some insight into Samsung’s decision… An anonymous source for the Korea Herald stated the following: “Who would want to put their handset up close to their eyes for authentication in places like movie…
