AT&T Testing + Two Potential Variants = Potential for a Verizon Galaxy S5 Or are they budget and Premium versions as we previously thought?

According to the Browsermark Application benchmark results, the app tested two devices that belong to Samsung; the  SM-G900F variant and the SM-G900A variants. Though the previous test results didn’t offer up any supporting information, such as mobile OS, CPU, resolution, or other hardware specs the device used during the test, but we did see that there are two variants of the Galaxy S5, as reported here.
