The rumor mill has churned another exciting news, revealing what could be Samsung's first foray into an ultra high-resolution screen capable of displaying 2560 x 1440 pixels.
The Samsung Galaxy F may be the Korean company's next-gen handset with a 2K-resolution display. Samsung's mythical Galaxy F first popped up on the radar last fall, when hopes of something other than a plastic shell for the new Galaxy S5 were seemingly dashed.
Although details have made the rounds prior to today, a pair of leaked images posted by WindyLeak on Twitter April 4 and Sunday would seem to confirm Samsung's plans for a 2K-resolution display.
While the actual device casing appears to be concealed from view, a fairly clear image posted Sunday nicely reveals the rumored 5.2-inch quad HD display.
The Galaxy F is said to be housed in a metal frame packing a quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor and a whopping 3GB of RAM, necessary to help push all those pixels onto the screen. Those specs, coupled with a rumored 16MP rear camera, would make the Galaxy F a more premium device than even Samsung's Galaxy S series, and presumably at an even higher price tag.
Reports at the time pegged the Galaxy F launch for last month - a target date Samsung clearly missed, but that was presumably to give the Galaxy S5 a clear runway for its long-awaited April 11 release.
Some reports have claimed the popularity of the HTC One caught Samsung off guard and the company was planning to release its next flagship Galaxy S5 smartphone made out of aluminum. As time went on, reports suggested that Samsung was going to release two variants of the Galaxy S5. One would be called the Galaxy S5 Prime and would sport a 2560 x 1440 display and be wrapped in aluminum. The second model was expected to be called the Galaxy S5 Standard and have a 1920 x 1080 Full HD display and Samsung's more traditional plastic styling.
Samsung never introduced these two versions of the Galaxy S5, but that doesn't mean that a higher-end Galaxy S5 isn't on the way. According to a new report, Samsung is actively working on an all-metal version of the Galaxy S5. The device is currently in testing and is part of "Project F." If it comes to market, it has been rumored that the name will officially be the Galaxy F.
