Samsung Galaxy S5 comes in two version Snapdragon 801 2.5 GHz and Octa-core 2.1 GHz, so it looks like is not gonna be any S5 Pro or S5 Prime so this is pretty much what you gonna get from Samsung flagship phone, well hey it's never to late to go and buy an iPhone 5s!
There might still be another version that launches in the summer with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 805. I don't know if they'll label it with "Pro" or anything like that.
The original Galaxy S4 launched with the Exynos 5410 and in LTE markets, the Snapdragon 600. A couple months after the S4's release, another version, the Galaxy S4 LTE-A, launched with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 and LTE-Advanced support.
Wow, 20% improvement in battery life... 20% of, um 2 hours is uh, 40 minutes... Gee that's useful. Funny how they failed to give specific hours and minutes...
In fairness, good to see they are pushing hard as it will continue make Apple innovate at least even though Samsung are constantly playing catch up.
2 hours? please show me where you got that ridiculous figure from. Imagination land perhaps?
unfortunately, saying that one component has a 20% improvement if battery usage is not the same thing as stating what the overall product battery life is. Just a marketing trick.
That's the 3G, not the 2G (original iPhone). Unless you're using 2G to mean second generation, which isn't a great idea since the 2G phone is called the 3G.
What a naming clock up that was from Apple, six years ago.
That's what I mean by being unduly negative on Apple.
Benjamin Frost,
don't waste your time. Some people only come to fan sites with unpopular statements for debate purposes. For that to happen at AI, they need be negative about Apple. I'm sure they have accounts on Android fan sites and are negative about Android there as well. They live for debate regardless of their position. It just has to be in opposition of popular belief on the fan site.
Just hit the "Block Member" button, if they annoy you. Don't try to fix them, they don't want fixing. They just get off on it and even more so if people give them the benefit of the doubt that they are just trolling.
I already hit the Block button on this person, its unfortunate I see their "craftsmanship" quoted in replies from other members.
no but the line is galaxy s the rest are variants that reside under parent name. The parent name has had a standard naming convention galaxy s +generation
You know that line started selling in 2010, right?
The iPhone line has been standard from 2010 as well. iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S. The iPhone 5C is a variant of the parent. I'm pretty sure the next one will be the iPhone 6. Looks like convention to me.
This naming convention actually started with the 3G and then 3GS. When did Samsung start the "S" line? After the 3GS. Coincidence?
It's the Exynos 5422, another big.LITTLE design, but u<span style="line-height:1.4em;">nlike previous designs, this ca</span>
<span style="line-height:1.4em;">n use all 8 cores at once.</span>

My or is unfounded. I don't recall reading that big.Little was advancing to allow all cores to run at once. Thanks.

This is how it was supposed to be from the start. The reason the Exynos 5410 could not run all 8 cores at once was due to a fault with the CoreLink CCI-400. This problem was said to be fixed in the Exynos 5420 when it launched in the second half of 2013, but if I'm not mistaken, it was never put to use.
Worth noting, in the second half of 2013, MediaTek launched the MT6592. This SoC utilized 8 Cortex A7 cores and was able to activate all 8 cores at once.
Later in 2014, Qualcomm plans to join the 8 core race with the mid-range Snapdragon 615. It will make use of 8 Cortex A53 cores (64-bit ARMv8).

it could well be a coincidence or it could have been deliberate. Though that would have meant Samsung copying a future trend, they should have copied the tech from the future not the name. iPhone, iPhone 3g iPhone 3gs doesnt tell you what future names would be. But i would bet the next galaxy s phone will be galaxy s6 and the one after that the s7 etc.

Bottom line is since 2010 they've both followed a naming convention.

yup and I hope they both font start dicking around with it. Both sets are now easy to understand. Samsungs is each generstion and Apples is the tick-tock. You know which has the higher specs, which is newer etc.
My original response about the names was my interpretation of someone elses over tge top claim thst Samsung was copying the 5s name with the s5.
Rumours are now facts. If Apple are rumoured to do anything then all other companies must stop any development in them and hand over all IP just so they are not accused of copying?
Has anyone ever heard of convergent development?
galaxy s2, galaxy s3, galaxy s4 now the galaxy s5 sounds like a consistent naming convention to me I'd bet the next version is called the galaxy s5!
Can anyone have a sensible discussion about the product or must we all have the Apple iz da best, Samsung is the devil attitude?
I'd say Samsung was maybe forced to use the fingerprint scanner ealier than they wanted due to Apples introduction of their version as the perception will be top end phones require it.
No 64 bit. Is that more due to Android than Samsung?
Colour thats such a personal choice. Me I'd always go black but that gold is tacky.
My friends a samsung fan I told him the news and he said "Crap! I hoped they wouldn't do this. Now there gonna struggle" I think that still the fact that samsung puts it in the home button and hasn't done their retina thing is just.... And that there s5 and people who army that technical will realize that it's a rip off and just changed the name around from 5s
will be interesting to see if Apple will follow up on the bigger display - then we'll all have to wonder who's copying who. At least Apple does it with much more style. That plaster-lookalike-gold edition, sorry, just bad.

More reviews of how crappy the scanner is:

http://tech.firstpost.com/news-analysis/samsung-galaxy-s5-tech-critics-verdict-218916.html
Also the scanner isn't on the button. Its actually on the glass. So you need to press a button to wake up the phone and then slide your finger.
LOL.
I'm more impressed with the design now that you tell me its in the glass. Still think the sliding action is subpar however.

Is it actually 8-core or is it big.LITTLE?
It's the Exynos 5422, another big.LITTLE design, but unlike previous designs, this can use all 8 cores at once.
Specs:
