Samsung To Unveil Galaxy S5 On 24th Feb At MWC

Contrary to the rumors that Samsung would be showcasing only its new Tizan OS for its smartphones at MWC, and that South Korean smartphones giant would be unveiling the new flagship Galaxy S5 at a separate platform, Samsung has proved everybody wrong on this speculation. Samsung has sent out media invite for the Unpacked 5 event on 24th February at Barcelona in Spain, where they will be showcasing their latest Galaxy S5 smartphone at MWC.

Samsung’s last version of its premium Galaxy S4 got mixed response and its sales were not to the expectations of the company. Their could be reasons behind this and topmost of them being that the market for smartphones is getting saturated and there is stiff competiton from other Android handsets makers like LG,Sony and Chinese companies are also getting aggressive especially in the emerging markets. And now Lenovo will also pose serious threat to many handsets makers including Samsung after its acquisition of Motorola.

As far as specifications of the upcoming Galaxy S5 are concerned there are many specualtions about the same, and the features will become quite clear close on the heels of the launch date. However,the Galaxy S5 is widely expected to feature a bigger screen in the range of 5 to 5.2 inches, an improved rear camera with 13mp capabilites, and biometric functions such as iris recognition or a fingerprint scanner. It is also specualted that it may come with an improved Galaxy Gear smartwatch. It is also expected to have 3GB of RAM and 32 and 64GB of internal storage.

As far as hardware features are concerned, the upcoming Galaxy S5 will have the topmost features, but it will be seen what Samsung has in store as far as its design is concerned. Of late, all the Galaxy devices look alsmost the same. Samsung must be coming out with an innovative design and software features to keep this device different from the league of Android devices already available, and be in a good position to give tough competition to next iPhone of Apple, which is also going to have bigger screen, as per the latest rumors.
