Samsung has a great reputation in the smartphone industry when it comes
to delivering quality products. However it has been criticised a lot for its
non-flamboyant and dull designs. However Samsung is planning to set things right
by dropping the existing plastic casing of the Galaxy series and beginning a
new line of Galaxy smartphones having metal body starting with the Galaxy S5
Prime/ Galaxy F (F most likely stands for ‘Fashion’).
After the launch of the flagship Samsung Galaxy S5 (which was a great
success) Samsung hasn’t had much success in the lower price segments owing to
its dull looks, moderate specifications, and better competitors. However Galaxy
S5 Prime is going to change that. This phone is not just about good looks but
also great specifications as it will have a top of the line Snapdragon 805 processor.
Galaxy S5 Prime is set to turn the tide as it might turn out to be one
of the best smartphones that Samsung has ever produced.
The leaked
specifications of the Samsung Galaxy S5
Mini are as follows:
Display:
The display of Galaxy S5 Prime is widely rumoured to get a major
upgrade. The phone is rumoured to get a QHD display and a 5.2 inch screen. Samsung
has faced serious criticism regarding its ‘not-so-great’ AMOLED displays and
the QHD display is sure to get things going for Samsung.
QHD display is an important factor in the emerging market as LG and
other companies are also introducing it in their flagships.
Performance:
Galaxy S5 Prime is not just getting a screen upgrade over S5 but will
also have a better hardware. The phone will be powered with a quad core
Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor clocked at 2.7 Ghz, 3GB RAM and a Adreno 420.
These are some really high end specifications and will definitely make S5 Prime
very fast and lag free. It will also have an Android KitKat 4.4.2 at launch
which will make the phone even smoother.
Camera:
The S5 prime is rumoured to have the famed ISOCELL sensors which was present
in the S5. Samsung may add more improvements by adding new features and faster
image capture and maintain its reputation of having a great camera quality.
It will have a 16MP rear camera paired with a 2MP front camera.
Other features
The Galaxy F is also going to feature Samsung S5’s value-added
features as well.
After the improved version of fingerprint sensor in the latest
Galaxy Tab S tablets, we are expecting that the F will also have a better
finger scanner.
The Ultra Power Savings Mode (UPSM) is one of the most effective
features we have seen as it works on a deep system level and make efficient use
of whatever little battery power that is left. UPSM gives you an extended 12
hour battery life, even with just 5% charge left.
Finally, the heart rate monitor, that can be
termed as the least useful feature may still make an appearance the S5 Prime
and Samsung is very keen on its S Health program.
Release, Price and
Availablity
The phone is most probably going to be released in
the month of September thereby competing with the Iphone 6 which will also be launched
around that time.
The pricing of the S5 Prime is definitely going to
be more than that of S5 and we are estimitating it to be around $800.
CONCLUSION:
Samsung
S5 Prime surely looks promising with its design and features but only time will
tell if it’s really a game changer. We will update you with any new information
as it comes.
If you're looking for a rugged version of Samsung Galaxy S5 we recommend Galaxy S5 Active.
