Buzz for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime release date intensifies, as LG hosts a major reveal for its G3 smartphone today.
LG is set to unveil details of its next-gen flagship phone in today's G3 event, along with additional information regarding the G Watch, release date and specs expected.
The Galaxy S5 Prime is reported to be a major improvement, a premium version of the Galaxy S5, released a few months ago. Samsung's response to the LG G3 involves impressive specs; the features are currently considered leaks, pending confirmation.
Users can expect the following features, or something similar to these, come the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime release date: an impressive 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution crammed into a 5.2-inch display, for starters. The resolution complements a 16 MP rear-installed camera (2 MP front).
The S5 Prime packs serious muscle with a 2.5 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, 3 GB RAM, and Adreno 420 GPU. It runs on Android 4.4.3 Kitkat with optional 16 or 32 GB storage (128 GB external, MicroSD).
The build of the device is curvier than the S5, with a rumored aluminum frame. Reports hint of black, white, blue, gold, and pink variants, although it is unclear if all these are available upon release.
The announcement of a Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime release date is anticipated by potential buyers of next-generation smartphones, but will likely disappoint owners of the previously-released Galaxy S5. The comparisons in specs, though yet to be confirmed, are significant upgrades, but not worth the investment of purchasing another smartphone (loadthegame.com).
Reports from Korea reveal the S5 Prime is undergoing interoperability tests since May 5, in preparation for a roll out. Such tests usually last a couple of months, which makes a June prediction for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime release date highly probable. Samsung is expected to go head-to-head with LG in the race for next-gen smartphones (digitaltrends.com).
