Galaxy S5 Prime

[The Absolute]

I'll wait and see if it is true...

 

[Steven58]

I may not be waiting, I may just get the s5 or g3. It's time for my upgrade. oooor, the iphone 6?

 

[The Absolute]

I have until June 12th to decide...I have an M8 right now but holding out for that S5 Prime if it releases.

 

[Sandroidfan]

It might be called Galaxy F after all. Not sure if this leaked pic is real. But it looks like combo of S5 back and S4 front.

Now G3 doesn't come with 805 and M8 prime is pushed back a bit, probably to Fall, if this one lands in US in summer I may get it.

Might be Fall...SMDH

It sucks if that rumor is true. But I doubt it as releasing two flagships together wouldn't do any good to Samsung.

ur welcome:

Could Samsung's Galaxy S5 Prime be called Galaxy Alpha?

Or the Galaxy F?

If it is the Galaxy F.....I will definitely buy it....think of all the jokes....

y'welcome. Samsung Galaxy F poses for outdoor photo

It's getting closer little by little.

Alleged Samsung Galaxy F passes through the FCC, confirms dimensions in the process

So the G906 is not the prime

Seems sammobile got it wrong this time. It surely comes with QHD.

Report: upgraded Galaxy S5 to be announced this week

Now the question is if this will be limited to Korean market like S4 LTE-A? But given it passed FCC, it might be different this time and available in US.

 

[Kuhns787]

I sure hope it has a USA release since many At&t reps have already told me an upgraded version of the S5 was coming soon and tried to talk me out of upgrading. I did the upgrade but that won't stop me from selling it and getting the new version.

I hope they didn't mean S5 active.

LTE-A S5 is not prime .

 

[Sandroidfan]

LTE-A S5 is not prime .

Because they don't call it S5 prime or F? It doesn't matter to me how it's called as long as the spec sheet is what we expected for S5 prime (QHD, S805, 3Gb RAM). I don't think they will release another phone with same spec, different name after this.

So far 'F' is supposed to be using metal not plastic (there have been many leaks about that premium version)
so yeah its just not specs, also prime will have exynos soc option instead of just s805 in lte-a

Well, all this metal case thing is from media rumors and never confirmed by Samsung. It could very well be just polycarbonate with brushed metal looking surface like G3. I personally don't care for metal phone and prefer plastic case.

And who said Prime will only have Exynos? Samsung has been releasing both SoC versions in their S series last couple of years. LTE radio versions for north American market has always been with snapdragon. Not that I don't like Exynos, but it just has been that way.

I didn't say 'only exynos' but a exynos variant will be available.

 

[Blue218]

When????

OK. point taken.
But now Sammobile is saying S5 prime (or F) is nothing but this Korean S5 LTE-A and it won't make out of Korean market. If that's true, all this is moot as S5 prime is just vaporware.

They seem to think S5 prime outside Korea is dead and shifting focus to Note 4.

That doesn't appear to be an official Samsung site so I would take it with a grain of salt. Time will tell so we will see. Until then I may go back to using a S4 just not impressed with the S5

They are not official site for samsung but have good track record for predicting next big things from them.

Maybe they were wrong in that article and Galaxy F is real though US availability is still unknown.

Samsung Galaxy F (not the S5 LTE-A) makes another appearance online, but where’s it headed?
