Rumors that have been adrift are that Samsung will be releasing its S5 in April of 2014. In terms of the device itself, it’s thought that customers will get to see a large, high-resolution display, a new Samsung-made Exynos chip using 64-bit technology, enhanced camera capabilities, waterproofing and, possibly, more premium materials used to construct the device. The Samsung Galaxy S5 could be equipped with an iris scanner or fingerprint scanner, or possibly even both, according to rumors and a comment from a Samsung representative. First up, the iris scanner.

It is heard from a viable source that Samsung executive that the Galaxy S5 is being made to look very different from its predecessor the Galaxy S4 variant after Samsung received feedbacks from customers who felt there was insufficient variation from the Galaxy S3. Speculations have it that the whole back panel will be made from stainless steel and will secure to a plastic and composite front fascia.

It is believed that Samsung’s rumored F Series smart phone will be a premium edition of the Galaxy S5 and it’ll be built from a range of materials including plastic, metal and other composite materials.
