With
all the major launches of the year over, all eyes are now on the next
big gadget unveiling -- Samsung Galaxy S5. The upcoming Samsung flagship
has kept the rumour mill buzzing for quite some time, with speculations
rife about a metal body and 64-bit processor.
The
latest rumour about the Galaxy S5 comes courtesy ZDNet Korea, which
cites sources at Samsung. According to the report, the upcoming handset
will have QHD (2560x1440p) resolution as well as iris verification
technology and will be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress technology
expo in February next year.
A QHD screen has
four times the pixels that a 720p (qHD) display packs and is sharper
than today's Full HD panels. Samsung has already completed the
development stage of the QHD panels and is now working on mass producing
it for next-generation smartphones.
Earlier
this year, LG unveiled its ultra-thin QHD display panel, while Chinese
manufacturer Vivo launched the world's first smartphone with this
technology in October. The report says that Samsung's first QHD
smartphone will be unveiled at Mobile World Congress next year.
The
iris verification is Samsung's take on enhancing smartphone security,
similar to the fingerprint scanner in Apple iPhone 5S and HTC One Max.
This technology, acquired by Samsung earlier this year, allows users to
unlock devices through their iris.
All three
rumours are in line with earlier speculations about the device and it is
likely that Samsung's first smartphone to have new technologies like
iris sensor and QHD display will be Galaxy S5.
Other
rumoured features of Samsung Galaxy S5 include 64-bit processor,
5.25-inch touchscreen, 16MP Isocell camera and Android 4.4 operating
system
