The Galaxy S and Galaxy Note line of smartphone / phablet have both been very successful for Samsung, but while they are both a couple of the mobile industry's most powerful devices, neither of their cameras are particularly awe-inspiring. The Korean company, it has been reported, will looking to atone for this issue with next year's flagships, and just this week during its analyst day, Samsung confirmed that the cameras of the Galaxy S5 and Galaxy Note 4 will be significantly improved.
Samsung may currently find itself sitting at the top of the smartphone vendor hierarchy, but there's always been certain aspects of their hardware that just doesn't sit right with some consumers. There's no denying that the company designs and builds fantastic and extremely sought-after smartphones, but the construction of those devices sometimes leaves a lot to be desired. We've been hearing a lot of rumors recently about less than projected sales of the Galaxy S4, which has lead onto speculation suggesting that Samsung could announce the next in the Galaxy S series early next year. Today's latest S related chatter seems to indicate that we could be about to receive yet another plastic based device from the Korean company.
Samsung, it would seem, simply cannot stop selling smartphones, and with the Galaxy Note having only been released a matter of weeks ago, rumor has it that the next flagship - the Galaxy S5 - could be set to arrive as soon as January. If true, it would be a real break away from the spring-summer launches we've witnessed these past couple of years, and would leave Galaxy S4 users feeling more short-changed than they perhaps already do.
Just days after Apple did something we didn't expect to see quite so soon - announce a 64-bit smartphone - it seems that the competition is already trying to scramble to catch up after Samsung confirmed that it, too, is set to bring its own 64-bit smartphone to market.
Samsung's Galaxy S series of smartphone remains by far the most popular Android handset on the market and in terms of sales, only Apple's iPhone can claim to have shifted more units over the past few years. Yet while consumers continue to flock to every new iteration, a growing sect have become increasingly frustrated with Samsung's insistence on encasing its prized asset with a cheap plastic coating. For such a high-end handset, it leaves a rather cheap, mid-range feel to the touch, but a new patent filing suggests the Galaxy S5 could finally buck the trend.
