Last month, Samsung brought us its updated Galaxy S5 LTE-A edition, fulfilling those long-standing rumors of a Galaxy S5 equipped with a quad HD display (among other improvements).

Samsung denies global plans for quad HD Galaxy S5 LTE-A (but there might be a loophole)

Samsung surprised us last night when it dropped an announcement for the long-rumored Galaxy S5 update with a quad HD 2560 x 1440 display and Snapdragon 805 SoC. Well, great, this sounds like the phone we’ve been talking about as the Galaxy F or GS5 Prime – maybe not the metal body so much, but the specs are a dead ringer for our expectations. So can we hope to see this model expand from initial availability in South Korea to ...

Samsung Galaxy F leak shows press render of golden variant

The last time we’ve seen this phone was with the occasion of a recent Samsung Galaxy F leak that placed the allegedly metallic phone next to the current Galaxy S 5 flagship. Since we only saw the front of it, we could only guess that it was a black/grey version, pretty much like the one in this leak. However, there was also a white Samsung Galaxy F leak in form of a press ...

Exynos chips, the Galaxy Note 4, and what to expect from the Galaxy F

We’re on a bit of a Samsung roll this morning, and before we turn our attentions elsewhere, there’s one more report we’ve run across that seems worth bringing your way. Lately we’ve spent a lot of time talking about the Galaxy S5 Prime/Galaxy F/SM-G906/KQ/Lentis – all those different names alone (assuming they really all even represent the same device) are enough to make your head spin. With the timetable we’re likely looking at, this phone could arrive right around the same time as the next-gen Note model. Today we take a closer look at both devices, as ...

Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime (Galaxy F) swings by FCC

Whether Samsung ends up calling its quad HD handset the Galaxy F or the Galaxy S5 Prime is still up in the air (and you may have noticed us going back and forth on the naming, with no clear front-runner having yet emerged) but what no one seems to be doubting anymore is that it’s coming, one way or another.

Potential Samsung Galaxy F shows itself off in new image

A couple days back we got to take a look at some new imagery that attempted to reveal Samsung’s work on a Galaxy S5 refresh of sorts, the metal-bodied Samsung Galaxy F. Call it the Galaxy S5 Prime or whatever you will, but the phone has been shaping-up to be a solid addition to the existing Galaxy lineup, bolstered by the addition of a quad HD display and the possibility of an SoC upgrade. The same source from before is back with an additional image, snapping a pic of ...
