eh what is up guys of kbfd here and today we're gonna be talking Samsung Galaxy s5 the inevitable successor to the oh so popular Samsung Galaxy s4 so whenever we see a new phone in Samsung's Galaxy S line up or Galaxy Note lineup they tend to bounce off each other in terms of where they get their design cues from so the galaxy s5 I'm expecting a phone very similar to the Galaxy Note 3 that we have now so let's go and check out these specs first of all the backing material that we see on the Galaxy Note 3 this leatherette sort of soft touch back that's made its way through the entire samsung phone and tablet lineup and I don't think there will be any exception with the galaxy s5 I'm expecting to also see that here to complete the entire look also the size of the galaxy note 3 also if you've seen the review have this sort of metal sort of band around it that I guess make it feel more premium or at least Samsung wants you to feel that it feels more premium so I'm expecting also to see that on the galaxy s5 so it'll it'll feel kind of like a shrunken down galaxy s5 into a slightly smaller body but again with the premium specs that we expect out of a flagship and with those premium specs the number one thing that is probably most locked in is the new camera on the galaxy s5 and that's expected to be a 16 megapixel camera and along with that new resolution I would also expect it to be able to shoot 4k video just like the Galaxy Note 3 can around the front there is a 50/50 shot a pair of rumors of scenario 1 and a scenario 2 that we could see with the way the front of this phone looks so the galaxy s5 could either rock case number one a 5-inch 1080p display again maybe 5.2 inch but again not upping the resolution or particularly anything crazy going fairly conservative with the upgrade case number two would be a slightly larger maybe five point two to five point four inch 2560 by 1440 display so going with qHD 2k display and particularly upping the ante in terms of resolution and dpi now a lot of the benchmarks that we've actually seen that we have leaked apparently from the galaxy s5 seem to indicate that case number one is much more likely I'd give it sixty five seventy five percent chance of seeing another 1080p display in the Galaxy s5 it's not set in stone it's not a hundred percent but we're seeing 480 PPI we're seeing 5.0 inch display and we're seeing 1920 by 1080 these benchmarks are also indicating that we're gonna see another Snapdragon 800 chip not the 805 but a slightly upgraded more powerful version of the Snapdragon 800 chip which is still a great chip obviously this was the antutu benchmark that we saw leaked and it was still scoring above the galaxy note 3 and above the sony xperia z ultra so if it's benchmarking above these high-end phones I don't think it'll have any problems with performance we're also seeing 2 gigabytes of RAM and that should be more than enough to push those 1920 by 1080 pixels it'll also be running Android 4.4.2 KitKat out the box right now that is the most current version of Android and you know maybe when it launches 2 weeks later there will be a newer version of Android and we'll have to wait for those features but at launch it will have the newest version of TouchWiz on top of Android 4.4.2 KitKat so overall it seemed like a relatively incremental or it's not a revolutionary phone but it's it's an incremental upgrade from the Galaxy s4 a pretty safe bet for Samsung to sell a lot of them again but there are some other slightly less likely slightly more far-fetched rumors I might as well address them because they're out there and people are talking about them but I don't necessarily believe any of these are particularly likely number one being ditching the physical button Samsung is pretty much locked in to their physical home button and capacitive back and menu buttons on their phones and tablets and I don't expect this to go anywhere anytime soon unlike another phone that I'm going to talk about and also we're hearing rumors of a possible 128 gigabyte version of the galaxy s5 that would actually be awesome I would love to see 128 gig version of any phone the iPhone hasn't had one no Android phone has had one no Windows Phone has had 128 gig version so I'd love to see that you've also heard rumors of a retina scanner or a fingerprint scanner fingerprint scanner being the obvious copy of the iPhone 5s and its touch ID system I don't really expect to see that that's just not something that Android phones have gotten down pact and Samsung doesn't take quite that extreme risks with their phones and also a retina scanner being something that scans your iris or your eye or retina and looks at your eye to lock you or log you into your phone I don't think that's gonna happen Samsung has enough problems already with their current eye tracking system just to tell if you're looking at the phone or not so I can't imagine it having that much more advancements in order to be able to tell whose eye is looking at the phone so I would put these rumors that like the five percent probably not going to happen categories overall there's really nothing particularly stunning here with these new rumors but it's still gonna be interesting to see a new phone with the new design again I like the Galaxy Note 3 so I'd like to see a shrunken down version of it also we have to remember that even though the specs seem like a small incremental upgrade Android 4.4 KitKat has way lower system requirements and is better optimized to take advantage of lesser specs so even though it has a similar CPU on the Adreno 330 GPU it still should be able to perform better than it does now on Android 4.3 because of the improvements to KitKat either way I'm sure pretty much all the rest of the details of this phone are going to be leaked sooner or later before the phone is actually announced because it's 2014 and everything leaks at this point but there is a Samsung unpacked event on February 24th and all the systems seem to point toward that being the place where we first see the new Samsung Galaxy s5 so I'll be there and I hope maybe we'll see an updated wearable companion perhaps a new Galaxy gear at that event as well a little bit less likely but I'm really focused on the phone here so either way that's been it if you're if you're not really into the Samsung Galaxy lineup if you're more into the HTC One perhaps I have also uploaded a video today it's linked below that like button going over the potential successor to the HTC One so if you want to check that out that was also uploaded today definitely don't miss that and other than that I'll talk to you guys in the next video thanks for watching guys peace
