Last week, we showed you an entry on the Zauba import-export site that
allegedly showed the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime being sent to India for R&D. This is supposed to be the version of Samsung's new flagship phone, with a metal casing, a 1440 x 2560 resolution screen, and more. While Samsung has denied the existence of this phone, a Samsung branded handset with the model number of SM-906S was seen in the AnTuTu site, with a QHD display.
A report published Sunday out of Korea, says that the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime will make its first appearance in June. Unfortunately, we don't know if this means that the phone will be unveiled that month, or actually released. Samsung is looking to beat the
LG G3 to market as its country mate's unannounced flagship sequel is expected to offer a 1440 x 2560 QHD screen, like the Galaxy S5 Prime.
With
the LG G3 now expected to launch early in July, Samsung has this brief opening to
launch a phone that Sammy's head of mobile, J.K. Shin, has denied the existence of. If Samsung does launch a premium version of the
Samsung Galaxy S5, are buyers of the original version going to feel misled?
Thanks for the tip!
