Samsung changing the Galaxy S formula?

All current Galaxy S phones are pretty much the same in terms of hardware, give or take a front facing camera or led flash. So given that Samsung has just unveiled the Infuse 4G (labeled a Galaxy S phone), and has also announced it will still unveil new phones at WMC 2011 (including dual core phones), it sounds like Samsung intends on having different levels of Galaxy S phones this time around. I'm thinking the infuse is going to be considered their entry level Galaxy S phone, hence it's early introduction at CES 2011, and the upper end Galaxy S phones (dual-core) will be the ones to be announced at WMC 2011. Given how Samsung has come out with some seriously beautiful designs in other devices (Series 9 laptop, TV line up, heck even their appliances) I'm hoping for something really exciting at WMC 2011.

Samsung Galaxy S 5

"As we are approaching the end of 2013, Samsung's alleged 2014 flagship smartphone; the Galaxy S5 is hitting the rumour mill on a regular basis. The latest buzz about Samsung's next flagship reveals that it would sport a 5.25-inch QHD (Quad HD) AMOLED display and that it has entered mass production.
Sammobile*cites a*Korean publication*and claims that the display for alleged Galaxy S5 would comprise diamond pixel arrangement, which the company has reportedly used on Samsung's 2013 flagship smartphone,*Galaxy S4*and recently unveiled*Galaxy Note 3. The report suggests that the new diamond pixel arrangement would offer enhanced sharpness and pixel density.
Further, the Galaxy S5's screen resolution is said to be 1440x2560 pixels, with the pixel density to be 560ppi, much in-line with our earlier reports. Not too long ago, a GFXBench listing had revealed a device codenamedSamsung SM-G900S sporting a screen resolution of 1440x2560 pixels*(2K).
Recent reports have already suggested that the South Korean manufacturer has plans to*release two versions of the alleged Galaxy S5. As per the report, there would be two variants of the Galaxy S5: a premium variant which would sport a metal chassis and a flexible OLED, and a variant which will come with the usual plastic body, as found on other Galaxy smartphones.
Earlier this month, a report claimed that the*South Korean maker would again use plastic for its next flagship smartphone, instead of the*metal chassis rumoured for quite some time.
Rumoured specifications of the alleged Galaxy S5 include a 64-bit Exynos chipset or a Snapdragon chipset; 3GB of RAM, a 16-megapixel camera, a 4000mAh battery and Android 4.4 KitKat with TouchWiz UI on top.
Samsung has also been rumoured to equip the allegedGalaxy S5 with an eye-scanning sensor. Samsung's expected next flagship smartphone (the Galaxy S5) will probably be the first device to pack such a feature.
Some reports have indicated that Samsung may announce the*Galaxy S5 as early as January, in a bid to overcome 'disappointing' Galaxy S4 sales."

4000mAh....
I wish but I don't think that's going to happen.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime

Samsung is rumoured to have a version called the 2K Galaxy S5 Prime up its sleeve. As the name suggests, it'll have a 2K screen, also known as QHD (as in "Quite High Definition", no, okay "quad HD"), packing 2560x1440 pixels rather than the current S5's 1920x1080.
Within Samsung's hallowed halls, the 2K Galaxy S5 Prime is said to be known by the codename 'KQ', with the model number SM-G900. A handset with that model number was recently spotted on a shipping database. It's reportedly being used for research and development purposes.
So why not launch the S5 with the better screen in the first place? That was the plan, according to SamMobile, but it was abandoned due to production issues. These are currently being ironed out, and the hi-res S5 should be with us this year.

Hopefully it is soon. It would be nice if they offered some type of trade in for all the people who might want to upgrade from the s5. I think moto did something similar with the X? They gave people the option to return theirs for a wood back one for 50 bucks or something.
Although it might not be worth it. Would need to have similar battery life or that would be a deal breaker.

Samsung to launch Galaxy S5 Prime in June
This is what I hope:
1. At least 32GB for internal memory.
2. The replaceable/removable battery.
3. A micro SD card slot for external storage of up to 128GB.
In addition to all of the other enhancements over the current S5.

I will have no respect for Samsung if this is true. They outright said to us that there will be no "premium" Galaxy S5. If that is true, it might not be an "S5" it might be part of another series.

These are the specs released on the news.
Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime Specifications:
5.2” , 2560 x1440 display
2.5 GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor
Andreno 420 GPU
3 GB RAM
32 GB of storage
16 MP camera
2 MP front camera
Android 4.4.2 KitKat

Another thread about this?

agreed...the VP of samsung said a prime is a no-go...
if he was lying just to increase sales of the s5 instead of having people hold out, screw samsung...ill never buy from that deceiving company again....and this is coming from someone who had a s2, s3, s4, note 10, note 8, original samsung tab 10, etc

Those were actually the initial rumoured specs for the generic S5... So whichever journalist dug those up should be fired for being incredibly slow.

planned marketing
Yeah they do that kind of thing all the time, release a nice phone with a few features of current technology missing, then a few months later they release one with the better tech so people upgrade. If there aren't free upgrades (which there won't be since it's not a fault) it's just a planned marketing strategy to make more money. yay!

I dont think they will release anything else to kill the S5 they have just released this year. They smart enough not to **** with those who has purchased the S5.

Analyst assumptions was the S5 Prime was to shore up their product offering before the two new iPhones launch, but now it is reported the new Prime might just be a small launch due to cost of display production.
If this is true, the iPhone 6 will likely destroy Samsung in sales. First big iPhone display and an even faster/efficient chipset than the i7, which is already faster than the S801. This might be the first time since the S2 where the iPhone trumps Samsung.
I am not an iPhone fan, so do not find this potential scenario of revived dominance a good thing. I do like the iPad Air though, in spite of my Android affliction. That said, Kitkat's killing of sd card writes ofr third party apps is making Android more like iOS....

I think that if Samsung released the S5 Prime, then it would anger a LOT of people.
However, I'm not quite sure how you got the impression that Apple's Cyclone based A7 chip is faster than the i7. Quite simply put, it's not.
Look at the Geekbench comparison down further on the page: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-4700MQ-vs-Apple-A7
Even if the score were four times higher, it still wouldn't match up with the MOBILE version of the i7 Haswell.
Things get spaced even farther apart when you compare it to a desktop class i7 Haswell: http://cpuboss.com/cpus/Intel-Core-i7-4770K-vs-Apple-A7
I agree with you in terms of iPhone 6 sales outpacing that of the S5. Apple usually sells more, and has more loyal followers.

So we'll get it in 2017 most likely.

Id say more like 2020

Check sammobile last firmware for n910c was 01 of August and for n910f some day in July.
So guess when

Haha so ironic. Maybe we will got it nearly 2020.

I'd say 2220. And it'll be buggy and kill our batteries.

M? what about 5.1.1? Samsung, I hate you.

M will come in the beginning of 2016 in a version so bad that it will make your phone useless to celebrate the release of the S7.
Yes I'm a seer lol.

When?We wait Lollipop 5.1.1 and who know when we get,so M come but we dont be live or our note 4.

Android Lollipop was also confirmed to the note 2. xD

What I find very instructive is that GS5 isn't in the list. It will not even have 18 months of updates.
IMHO, if Samsung don't want us to buy their devices, they can just tell us. It's far more simple that showing us at every occasion that they don't care about their customers.

Android 6.0? I'm still waiting for damn 5.1.1.

I think Samasung talk some sh ite

Its gonna be a while before Huwaeis Nexus 6 or Note 6 (hopefully with microsd and IR, replacable battery comes out). So Note 4 with Android M would be sweet. Hopefully it will release by new year!

I'll believe it when I see it. Samsung can't even clean up their act when it comes to Lollipop.

[PREVIEW]Petition for Android 11 update for Note9, S9 and S9+

Title: Galaxy S9 series and Galaxy Note 9 should update to One UI 3​.​x with Android 11.
On that terrible day, Samsung anounced the update plan for One UI 3, 4, and 5. Samsung Galaxy S10 series, S20 series, Note10 series, Note20 series, Galaxy Fold and Galaxy Z series users leaped with joy, but Galaxy S9 series and Note9 users hung their head low, because the "2 Major Updates Only" curse was still on us. All Galaxy S9, S9+, and Note9 users are disappointed by Samsung for this reasonless decision, for not provided Android 11 for a fully capable flagship device.
Both Galaxy S9 and Note9 is equipped with Exynos 9810 or Snapdragon 845 chipset, which has 10-nm Octa-Core 4x2.7-2.8 GHz+4x1.7-1.8GHz. They have epic specs, which can only be challenged by Huawei Mate20 in 2018. It is not hard to provide a full 1TB hard disk of evidence to prove that the three 2018 flagships can easily run Android 11. For example, they are fully treble compliant, which means, they have enough specs to run latest Android as long as Project Treble is alive; and it has better specs than Galaxy A01 except the camera, as A01 has 12nm Quad-Core 4x1.95 GHz Cortex-A53 & 4x1.45 GHz Cortex A53 chipset, and Galaxy A01 is in the list of One UI 3.0 update, WHICH MEANS THAT ONE UI 3.X UPDATE PLAN IS BIASED. And a low specs camera is not even possible to be a visible obstacle in the path of Android 11 update. It is astonishing, for Samsung to say that biased words on Galaxy Unpacked. Why? Simply our phone got out the box with Oreo? No. I mean it is not our fault to launch Oreo with S9, S9+ and Note9. Especially for Galaxy Note9, it is Samsung's fault. Samsung can wait one week or two, and launch Note9 with Pure Android 9+GMS, and add One UI as soon as it is ready by OTA. It is no need to launch with Oreo and toture us when Android 11 is released. This terrible decision forces us to either stay on Android 10, which is nothing but the same OS as a crappy 28nm Nokia C3, or go to custom roms which voids Knox and warranty, requires quite an amount of computer knowledge and is very easy to brick your device with one click.
We only ask Samsung to push One UI 3.x, AT LEAST ONE UI 3.0 CORE, based on Android 11 to Galaxy S9, S9+ and Note9, which has the certain right to update to Android 11. We are all going to sign this petition, not only the carriers of a Galaxy S9/Note9/S9+, but also anyone, who has their rage ignited due to the biased Samsung update policy. There is absolutely a piece of cake, as S9, S9+ And Note9 does not have custom resolution for both screen and camera, and Android 10 to Android 11 is not an enormous update, not like Windows XP update to 10. One man with a spare hour or two after work can do this in three months if enough knowledge. We strongly demand Galaxy S9 series And Note9 to update to Android 11, globally and stably.
If you have any recommendations of modifing this petition please tell me by replying. If no I will try my best to release at end of September. Thank you!

This marks the 8th petition for the same thing.

This is Pointless

How many times are y'all gonna make the same bogus petition for the same thing? If you want the newer upgrades get the devices that will get them undoubtedly or just stop whining. The note 9 isn't new or in it's prime anymore. Just stop

I already made such a petition and it's nice to see so many people supporting it. Here's the link, feel free to sign it: https://www.change.org/p/samsung-give-android-11-oneui-3-0-to-galaxy-note9-s9-phones

It will not work guys

Don't worry android 11 will be portwd from s10 lite for our devices 100% . If we have a good developer. I don't know cuz I didnt test any roms yet. I stick to official

Feels like we need to have this same conversation once every smartphone generation. Recap:
Breathing life into old electronics is not good business. Samsung is a business, they're in it for the money. Introducing new features for old phones will not sell new hardware; if anything, it will cause Samsung to sell less new hardware. Less sales means less revenue. That's why it's bad for business.
Developing software for additional platforms consumes more resources; resources which could be used for advancing development of newer hardware, and better software for said newer hardware. Again, why waste resources into something that will cause you to sell fewer next-gen phones?
Let me reiterate. Samsung is a business. They will not make poor business decisions to benefit users who hang on to old hardware instead of buying new hardware. End of story.
