Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus with Snapdragon 805 goes online on the company’s website
A couple of months ago, Samsung announced a Galaxy S5 4G+ to be launched in Singapore – a handset, much similar to the standard Galaxy S5, with only a CPU bump – the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 that can be found under the S5's hood is upgraded to a Snapdragon 805 chip in the S5 4G+. Of course, this CPU bump means not only a boost in processing power, but also faster LTE speeds, courtesy of Qualcomm's higher-end chip.
Seems Samsung is planning to bring the Galaxy S5 4G+ to more areas, as the phone has been spotted in the manufacturer's Netherlands website. It is disguised under the name Galaxy S5 Plus, a name which could lead one to hope that it's a more powerful version of the flagship – like the Galaxy S5 LTE-A – but, unfortunately, after reading the specs, it becomes obvious – the S5 Plus that's now in Europe is the S5 4G+ that was announced in Singapore 2 months ago. Oh, and both models are named G901F, so there's that.
So, assuming that Samsung stays true to its annual upgrade cycle, the Galaxy S6 should be announced around February next year – about 4 months from now. Do you think it's a great idea on Sammy's part to still be rolling out new variants of the S5?

Otherwise, the device looks exactly like the S5 and sports the very same specs - 5.1" 1080p Super AMOLED screen, 2 GB of RAM, and 2,800 mAh battery.
