There’s a good chance we’ll see Samsung official pull the curtains and unveil their next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5, by the end of the month. Less than 24 hours ago, Samsung posted details of the company’s Upacked 5 event, which takes place at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain on February 24th. Is it just a coincident that a 5 is in the event’s name? Samsung’s Unpacked 5 Event The official Samsung blog stated the following: “At previous Samsung Unpacked events, we’ve shown you the ‘The Next Big Thing.’ On March 2013, Samsung introduced the Galaxy S4, on September 2013, Galaxy Note 3 and Gear. These events were also live-streamed on official Samsung channels. Live blogging was also available on Samsung Tomorrow.” Last year, Samsung used the Unpacked event to unveil the Galaxy S4, so it only makes sense for them to replicate their formula for success with the Galaxy S5.The Galaxy S4 remains one of the hottest — if not the hottest — smartphone currently on the market. It’s loaded with features, a fast processor, a massive 13-megapixel camera and much more. However, I think it’s safe to say that Samsung will trump this device with their upcoming…

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? Quite possibly, yes. Earlier this month, Italian journalist Flavio tweeted the following: “Samsung to hold its next Global launch (S5?) event in London in a mid March date, a reliable source confirmed me.” This is huge news as bloggers and tech analysts across the world are trying to…

Benchmark of SM-G900F  Confirms Two Galaxy S5 Variants The weekend has been a busy one for Samsung, what with a dozen or so new rumors making their way around the mill. One rumor, caught our eye more than the others did, in the respect that the rumor further confirmed a piece of information we have been writing about for a few weeks now. We went right to the source – AnTuTu’s Blog – used Google Translate (we don’t read Chinese) and read for ourselves that a Samsung device was indeed tested using the AnTuTu app. Previous Galaxy S5 Benchmarks Previously we wrote about the potential for Samsung to release two different smartphones under the Galaxy S5 name. The speculation surrounding that rumor has turned into a confirmation via another benchmarking application. 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. Galaxy S5 AnTuTu…

Yet Another Galaxy S5 64-bit CPU Rumor According to PhoneArena via DT, the South Korean online magazine that’s leaked a lot of cool information about the Samsung Galaxy S5 of late, the as yet unannounced Galaxy S5 will definitely be getting that 64-bit CPU about which we keep hearing.  Though most mainstream media sites swear that it is impossible for the Galaxy to get a 64-bit unit, we thought it was possible and said as much in this previous post. Now, DT is saying it is once again possible, and the news comes with a sidekick of a rumor that not only is the CPU in its final production stages, but that – if the Google Translate version of the DT page is correct – the CPU will be ready in about a month. CPU to Feature Eight Cores? In an October 25 report, PhoneArena said that Samsung executives hinted at this possibility of the chip’s readiness during the press conference held for their quarterly results. The company apparently decided that it should speed up its timetable to complete and release the Galaxy s5 because of the competition from Apple and its own S5, which is currently the only available…

To date, the S5 has seen some pretty intensive and interesting rumors coming from the mill, and it seems that not a single day goes by that another rumor doesn’t surface about the Galaxy S5 smartphone. Well, the last two days have been no different. Another rumor for another day has surfaced, and though it’s sometimes extremely difficult to determine which rumors could be real, and which  are just blowing smoke up – you get the point – we’ll tell you about them anyway, because we wouldn’t want to get caught off guard. And we certainly don’t want to miss anything. So,. with that in mind, let’s get to the newest of rumors that have left the mill of late. Dust and Water Proof? A few different media outlets – specifically Trusted Review – are claiming that the newest Galaxy S5 will be dustproof and waterproof. While it is feasible that the Galaxy, which we think is due to be released sometime in April of 2014 –hopefully it’ll be much sooner than that – surely could wind up being dustproof, but the waterproof rumor is a different thing altogether. Making something waterproof requires an entirely different type of technology that…

Rumored Galaxy S5 Sensor Not Stable Enough Oh boy, you wouldn’t believe the rumors circulating today about the up and coming Galaxy S5 smartphone by Samsung due out soon… With the seemingly never-ending flow of speculation and rumors about the device, it’s no wonder no one really knows what is going on. No Fingerprint Sensor Security Features Today’s rumors concern the security features supposed to be available on the Galaxy S5 including the fingerprint sensor that the Nexus 5 is getting and that the iPhone already has. Apparently, Samsung is unsure as to whether they want to add the technology to the newest iteration of the phone. The security is allegedly the most promising to date, but it still has its flaws. Apparently, hackers have already devised multiple ways to get into devices using the sensors, and this could be why Samsung doesn’t want to take a chance at using the technology just yet, though the same rumors are claiming that the next Note will “definitely” get the tech.  however, Samsung contradicted the rumor, saying: “We never officially admitted that Samsung was weighing the fingerprint system and Knox for Galaxy Note 3 for security functions. We are not yet developing…
