Now that 2014 is here, it looks like it's time to start thinking about the next-gen smartphones this year is bound to bring us. Well, if there's anything we feel certain about, that's the fact that Samsung is to release its new flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S5, in just a few months. It is rumored that the South Korean giant is going to be among the first companies in 2014 to unleash a new top-shelf smartphone, and we can't wait to see what it's really going to look like! Well, exactly what it's going to offer, and whether it will have something to truly wow us with... that we don't know, but there is already a good number of rumors, leaks and indications, all of which can be used to paint an almost believable image of the Galaxy S5.
We've already come across a number of leaks dealing with the Galaxy S5's release date, as well as some of its technical characteristics, such as its supposed screen size, CPU, camera and more. Please, feel free to browse through the following slideshow gallery, where you'll learn more about what's going to be one of the most-discussed smartphones of 2014!

I dont need 2K display but its going to be awesome. Samsung have to change UX and need to change plastic design... I hope they improve their battery tech we need it :D
ReplyDeleteBut I want 4k damn it.
DeleteA 2K display is actually a 1080p display. This "rumoured" display is 1440p or 2.667K.
ReplyDeleteThe "K standard" was created by manufacturers of 2160p ("4K") displays, as a way of communicating to consumers the idea that it was 4 times as good as 1080p, by using the horizontal resolution instead of the vertical resolution. A 4K display has 3840 pixels horizontally (almost 4K!). Of course, it *is* 4 times as good; as it has twice the resolution in both directions.
I agree with your statement that a 1440p display is unnecessary at this point. With devices of this size it's difficult to tell the difference between 720p and 1080p. It would be great for all high end devices to simply adopt the 1080p standard from now on. However if a 1440p display on a phone would start encouraging manufacturers of TV and laptop displays to start making some higher resolution tech then I'm all for it. 1366x768 seems to be sticking around though, as much as I hate it.
