Yeah, I'd say it'll be available from April.

Good thing is that Samsung release their phones to South Africa when they release their phones internationally. Unlike Apple.

I hope they release that S5. These rumours are making my hair go grey . This photo of some of the coding got released today as well.



What im thinking is, due to the mention of 2 devices, that these 2 will be the 2 variants. Only time will tell. 24th of Feb come already!

think its going to be the equivalent of what apple did with iPhone 5S and 5C

Screen to big, I already have a 7inch tablet for such.

I hope the S5 mini isn't too big and has decent specs, or else my S2 will keep soldiering on.

Hope we get it together with the rest of the world.

Did you see that box leak it says 2k ie QHD, and 3 GB RAM. So other 2GB 1080p leaks could have been engineering samples or fakes or something else?

I have a feeling that it will come with a 2k display as the note 3 has 3 GB RAM and the leak in the photo also says 3 GB. Why would they give the new flagship less RAM than the note 3? I am holding thumbs

All the recent leaks and rumors are pointing towards 2 models. Like a premium and a standard. But at the end of the day, time will tell.

There will be two models - one metal and one plastic.

The screen is not too big. The S4 has a bigger screen than the S3, although the phone's physical dimensions are smaller. The increase in screen size with the S5 is likely mostly as a result of a decreased bezel. The phone will be the same size or slightly larger than the S4.

The screen of a S4 is as big as my whole s2 phone... that is too big for me.

then the sony z1 compact is definitely the phone for you. I'm hoping samsung follows that model in future as well.

That's what I said as well, but after using my Note 2 for a while, I can't see myself using a phone with a smaller display again.

Then your needs aren't representative of most people's. I would never get a phone smaller than an S3.

Have you ever used a bigger phone for an extended period of time?

No going back etc.
