It is customary for Samsung to launch several variants of one smartphone to make an impact on a wide range of customers. The company has followed this trend with the Galaxy S III Zoom from 2012 followed by the Galaxy S4 Zoom last year. We came across the specs of the Galaxy S5 Zoom as well a couple of weeks ago, thanks to a benchmark listing of the device. Today, we have more confirmation on the hardware which has come in a slightly unconventional manner.
We may have another three weeks to wait before the Samsung Galaxy S5 goes on sale, but that hasn’t stopped its firmware from being leaked online. The first official Galaxy S5 ROM — based on Android 4.4.2 KitKat — is available to download now.
T-Mobile has today begun taking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S5 ahead of its U.S. release on April 11. The handset costs $660 upfront — $10 more than AT&T is charging — or customers can spread the cost out over two years for $24.70 a month.
If you’re into unboxing videos and you’re super excited for the Galaxy S5, then T-Mobile has a treat for you. The company today uploaded a new video to its official YouTube channel that shows Samsung’s latest flagship being lovingly unwrapped for the first time.
The upcoming OnePlus One has been upgraded ahead of its release with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 801 processor.
The handset was to launch with its predecessor, the Snapdragon 800, but it’ll now boast the same CPU that powers the Samsung Galaxy S5, the Sony Xperia Z2, and the All New HTC One.
