But speculations are suggesting that Samsung should forget their old AMOLED display to give way of the LCD panels and save money for the S5 production. Android 4.4 Kitkat will run on this device since this is the latest OS from Google. Additionally, there is the Touch Wiz interface on top and the screenshots appears to have the latest version appropriate for the handset.
Galaxy S5 rumors are suggested having a 16MP snapper camera. This is still unimpressive since Sony Xperia Z1 has a 20.7-Megapixels and Nokia Lumia with a 41-Megapixels camera. Reports say Galaxy S5 will have the same (OIS) Optical Image Stabilization similar to the LG G2.

Speculations are also pointing to Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800 Quad-Core chip and clocked at 2.5GHz with Adreno 330 CPU.
S5 will also run with 2,900mah battery and will feature a new type of Li-on battery that will give an additional 20% more energy storage. They might also include other charging support and might also feature the USB 3.0 port on it.
There are no accurate pricing details yet as all of these are just rumors and speculations. Lets us all wait for what Samsung will bring this time. Based on SamMobile, Galaxy S5 will be available after the launch of Galaxy S5 Mini and Galaxy S5 Zoom in May or June.
