  • Rumours: Samsung Galaxy S5 coming with 4GB RAM + 64-bit Exynos processor?

    Rumours: Samsung Galaxy S5 coming with 4GB RAM + 64-bit Exynos processor?

    This rumour comes courtesy of speculation that the Samsung Galaxy S5 may be using the new 64-bit Exynos processor from Samsung which is almost finished. This new Samsung Exynos chipset may be known as the 6-series or Exynos 6 but what is more interesting is that it will offer the ability to go beyond 3GB of effective RAM. This has fueled the rumour that the Samsung Galaxy S5 could be coming with 4GB of RAM as more memory support is one of the main features of the 64-bit architecture. Again, there are no specifics or tech specs or even features to mention here, and while we're thinking 4GB of RAM would be the right amount past the 3GB of RAM currently available in the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the Samsung Galaxy S5 could just as likely arrive with 8GB of RAM instead. This would give the Samsung Galaxy S5 a new technical innovation asides from other smartphones, as there are now all too many smartphones with aluminum unibody chassis, huge megapixel cameras and ultra high ppi screens. We wouldn't be surprised if Samsung are also planning a Pro version device, as 8GB of RAM and a 64-bit processor could be all most high-performance users would need to make the shift.

  • Rumours: Samsung Galaxy S5 to have Exynos 6 processor?

    Rumours: Samsung Galaxy S5 to have Exynos 6 processor?

    As we near the end of Q3 for 2013, rumours about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 are starting to pick up. While we've already heard rumours of it using new ISOCELL technology camera modules and that it may have a metal chassis, there haven't been many rumours about what processor the smartphone may use. Reports from Korean media say that it will use a Samsung Exynos 6 processor with tech specs and features that include the ARM big.LITTLE architecture, 64-bit processing, a 14nm fabrication process and much better energy efficiency. According to these reports, the processor will use ARM Cortex A53 and A57 cores but it didn't mention if it would have all cores active at the same time. So far, there aren't any new Qualcomm Snapdragon processors asides from the Snapdragon 800 which is what could be used in most of the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphones considering that the yield for Exynos processors haven't been very good. The jump to 14nm from the current 28nm would be quite significant so take this rumour with a pinch of salt. Like all rumours of this type, no Malaysia release dates or pricing was available but we will keep you updated as soon as possible.

  • Rumours: Samsung Galaxy S5 coming to Malaysia January 2014?

    Rumours: Samsung Galaxy S5 coming to Malaysia January 2014?

    While the Samsung Galaxy S4 certainly helped raise Samsung's profits, they may be looking to jump the gun even earlier for the Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone with a reveal in January 2014 and eventual release in February 2014. Original estimates had the S5 Malaysia release date set for March which was the period when the Samsung Galaxy S4 was released in 2013. Tech specs for the S5 so far could include a 64-bit processor, 3GB of RAM and a 13MP or 16MP camera module with better low-light and anti-shake (optical image stabilization) than before. The previously announced Samsung ISOCELL image sensor is also expected to be used inside the S5. As always, take these rumours with a pinch of salt as Samsung has yet to confirm any Malaysia release date or pricing for the S5 just yet.

  • Rumours: Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 4 cameras to be 8x brighter + better anti-shake

    Rumours: Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 4 cameras to be 8x brighter + better anti-shake

    Reports about the next-generation Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy Note 4 have surfaced recently. Apparently, the camera modules for the two not-even-announced yet smartphones may have camera modules that are 8x brighter than your average camera module today. In addition to this, the camera modules will also have features like anti-shake that can correct an angular error up to 1.5 degrees, which is awesome considering that the current standard is only at 0.7 degrees. Other tech specs and features include the rumour that these camera modules are still going to be 13MP. The brighter sensor should enable better image processing under low-light conditions. While the report doesn't really mention the Galaxy S5 or Note 4, the camera module should be developed within that time frame. No details on pricing or Malaysia release dates but a safe bet would be to say that we'll find out in 2014.

  • Rumours: Samsung Galaxy S5 getting metal body?

    Rumours: Samsung Galaxy  S5 getting metal body?

    While it isn't the first time rumours about a metal body Samsung device have come out, new rumours have popped up stating that the Samsung Galaxy S5 (and perhaps other Samsung models after it) may get a metal body or chassis. Despite the fact that the Samsung Galaxy S5 will likely be released in 2014 for Malaysia, reports are claiming that Samsung may start production on a metal body Samsung Galaxy S5 by the end of the year. According to these reports a sample has already been produced and is being tested in Vietnam. Other tech specs and features for the S5 include a 16MP camera with OIS. Personally, we think that this is just wishful thinking as Samsung have been rumoured to develop metal clad smartphones before and have always declined in fear that it may delay production. Samsung would more likely go for a kevlar casing or other material before metal and we haven't seen any of those just yet either, so take this rumour with a big pinch of salt.
