Waiting for the next Android superphone to come out? You're in luck. Samsung has just spoken to Bloomberg about its upcoming devices in an interview. The S5 will be out by April.
Lee Young Hee, executive vice president of Samsung's mobile business explained what we can expect from the S5.
"We've been announcing our first flagship model in the first half of each year, around March and April, and we are still targeting for release around that time. When we release our S5 device, you can also expect a Gear successor with more advanced functions, and the bulky design will also be improved."
He also hinted that it may include "iris recognition technology", since fingerprints are so passe already. He also said that Samsung will make an effort to make its handset feel more premium.
"When we moved to S4 from S3, it's partly true that consumers couldn't really feel much difference between the two products from the physical perspective, so the market reaction wasn't as big. For the S5, we will go back to the basics. Mostly, it's about the display and the feel of the cover."
Did that just translate to the S5 costing more? April is three months away, so expect more rumors and "news" to come soon. [
