Samsung is known for producing multiple variants of its flagship smartphone, one of the latest being the Galaxy Grand Prime. Based on its name alone, you might assume this is a beefed-up version of the Galaxy S5, featuring better hardware components and other attractive features. Before you make a hastily decision and choose this variant over the original Galaxy S5, however, you should read our comparison of the two devices below. Display The original Galaxy S5 features a brilliant 5-inch Super AMOLED, which delivers incredible images when watching videos, playing games, or engaging in other media-related activities. Samsung opted for a slightly larger 5.1-inch display with the Galaxy Grand Prime; however, it also features less colors (16 million), along with a lower resolution (540 x 960 pixel). This doesn’t necessarily mean the Galaxy Grand Prime delivers poor image quality, but there’s a noticeable difference between it and the original Galaxy S5. Processor The Galaxy S5 features a blazing-fast Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 MSM8974-AC processor clocked at 2500 MHz. The Galaxy Grand Prime features an older, slower Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor. RAM If you’re the type of person who’s constantly running multiple apps at once, you’ll probably want to stick with the…

Samsung is reportedly planning to release a new version of its flagship smartphone, equipped with a faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor. So, how did we obtain this information? Samsung usually does a pretty good job at keeping quiet, but the company published a listing for a “Galaxy S5 Plus” on its Netherlands website earlier this week. According to NDTV.com, this device is actually the European version of the Galaxy S5 4G+ It features the same specs as the European Galaxy S5 4G+, but it’s listed under a different name. And to further confirm this theory, both the Galaxy S5 Plus and European Galaxy S5 4G+ feature the model number SM-G901F. Regardless as to whether or not it’s the European Galaxy S5 4G+, it still boasts some impressive specs. Samsung opted for an 801 chipset in the original Galaxy S5 that featured a a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor. At the time, this was arguably the fastest smartphone processor on the market (it’s still one of the fastest). The Galaxy S5 Plus, on the other hand, is powered by the newer Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 2.5GHz quad-core processor. The 805 chipset also introduces a new generation Adreno 420 GPU, which is a…

Samsung is reportedly preparing to release yet another variant of its flagship smartphone, titled the “Galaxy S5 Duos LTE.” This variant, which features the model #G9009D, comes with two SIM slots instead of the standard one. With dual-SIM slots, users can set up their Galaxy S5 device for use with two different phone numbers (e.g. a personal and business phone line). In all honesty, this isn’t exactly a new variant, as the Galaxy S5 Duos LTE was released into China back in April with a staggering $850 price tag. Samsung announced earlier this month, however, that it was releasing it internationally, starting with the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. Once released in AUE and Qatar, Samsung will push the variant in Poland, before eventually bringing it to the U.S. So, how much will the Galaxy S5 Duos LTE sell for in the U.S. According to IB Times, Welectronics plans to sell the device for $899 — a steep increase from the device’s original price tag of $850. Some consumers already complain that the launch-edition Galaxy S5 is too expensive, so jacking the price could backfire on Samsung. To determine whether or not the Galaxy S5 Duos LTE is worth the cost,…
