    Samsung Malaysia to launch the Samsung Galaxy S5 on 27 March 2014

    Samsung Malaysia has recently indicated that their latest Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone is coming to Malaysia as soon as 27 March 2014. This follows the teasers done by all the major telcos in Malaysia like DiGi, Celcom and Maxis and it is also ahead of the 11 April 2014 international roll-out date. While there aren't any other details, we expect the Samsung Galaxy S5 to be launched simultaneously by all three major telcos either on the same date or a day or so afterwards. We're expecting a rather big launch for each telco with big deals for the first-comers and early birds so keep 27 March 2014 and the days after open on your calendar. While there isn't any official pricing just yet, some local sites are estimating that it could go for RM2399.

    Rounding off the telco tease for the Samsung Galaxy S5 is Maxis who just put up a teaser page. Like Celcom, it isn't a Registration of Interest page. Nor does it give away any other details. With this sort of build-up we're expecting all three telcos to come out with the Samsung Galaxy S5 with a bang on 11 April 2014, so keep that date open. No Malaysia release dates or pricing yet though, so stay tuned for more updates.

    In what is becoming a common occurance for flagship smartphones in Malaysia, Celcom has also released a teaser image for the Samsung Galaxy S5. While it doesn't show any tech specs or offer an Registration of Interest (ROI) page like DiGi it does confirm that we'll see the smartphone coming from Celcom soon. No news as to specific Malaysia release dates or pricing but we hope it will be with all four colours of Charcoal Black, Copper Gold, Electric Blue and Shimmery White included.

    The new Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone utilizes Samsung's own ISOCELL technology for the camera sensor. Looking to explain why the smaller sized ISOCELL camera sensor is such an improvement, Samsung have released a video explaining how it works and what benefits it offers. This includes better performance, less noise and richer picture quality in low light conditions. Check out the video for yourself in this article.

    DiGi Registration of Interest page up for Samsung Galaxy S5

    While the Samsung Galaxy S5 is expected to arrive in Malaysia sometime in April, DiGi have already opened up a Registration of Interest page for the flagship Samsung smartphone. Being quite careful this time around, DiGi's teaser doesn't reveal much more than the tech specs that we already know. The only clues visible is that the DiGi page only covers three of the four colours. These include Charcoal Black, Electric Blue and Shimmery White. Perhaps Copper Gold may be offered differently. There is no news about pricing either (which was previously leaked unintentionally) and there are no details of any pre-order promotions either.

    Octa-core Exynos powered Samsung Galaxy S5 coming too

    While the official announcement of the Samsung Galaxy S5 saw a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor, an infographic showing the evolution of the Samsung Galaxy S series confirms earlier rumours that a Samsung Exynos powered version is also coming too. Details of this version are scant but we do know that the Samsung Exynos processor will be an octa-core (having eight cores) and be clocked at 2.1GHz. Other tech specs like the 5.1-inch full HD Super AMOLED display, 16MP rear camera and 2800 mAh battery remain the same however. No news yet on when we might see this version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 but hopefully it won't omit features such as 4K video recording that have previously been available for the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon processors and chipsets.
