Not even 8 months have passed since the Samsung Galaxy S4‘s launch but we are already seeing rumours and leaks of Samsung Galaxy S5 aplenty. Sure, Samsung’s flagship usually gets this attention every year, but we feel it is too soon this time. Amongst the various “leaks” floating around in the internet is one peculiar benchmark result from Browsermark. We may be wrong, but we have solid reasons why this is not the Samsung Galaxy S5. Firstly, lets see what this is all about. Apparently, an unknown device codenamed SM-G900F has appeared at the no. 3 position in Browsermark results page for Top 5 Web Phones, which some think, is the upcoming Galaxy S5. Is it?
We think not, and here’s our counter argument. The Samsung Galaxy Note 3, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 is right above the SM-G900F’s score, which means that this new device might have the same processor inside. Secondly, if this is going to be a Galaxy S5, this sure damn well will be more powerful than the Note 3, as we have seen with all the Galaxy S releases after the Note ones. So, running on the same browser, if the Note 3 powered by Snapdragon 800 can already beat this unknown device’s score, it just might be running on the same or a similar processor, or a similarly powered processor.
Finally, this might just be a global variant or a different country specific variant of the Samsung Galaxy Round, which is codenamed SM-G910s. See the similarities? SM-G900F falls right in line with earlier Samsung model numbers which are very similar, like for example Samsung Galaxy S4’s Exynos variant was codenamed GT-I9500 and the Snapdragon variant was codenamed GT-I9505. So, this could very well be a Galaxy Round variant intended for other markets or may be a different model altogether. Or may be we are completely wrong and this is a Galaxy S5 indeed, as another set of leaks point to a device with 2K display with Snapdragon 800 chip inside.
Anyways, we will be seeing a lot more crazy leaks and legit information regarding the S5 soon. For more of that, or probably less, stay tuned to our blog and let us know what your point of view is, in the comments section below.
