Samsung is rumoured to have a version called the 2K Galaxy
S5 Prime up its sleeve. As the name suggests, it'll have a 2K screen,
also known as QHD (as in "Quite High Definition", no, okay "quad HD"),
packing 2560x1440 pixels rather than the current S5's 1920x1080.
Apple's iPhone 5S, by contrast has 1136x640, and that's generally considered pretty hi-res.
Within
Samsung's hallowed halls, the 2K Galaxy S5 Prime is said to be known by
the codename 'KQ', with the model number SM-G900. A handset with that
model number was recently spotted on a shipping database. It's
reportedly being used for research and development purposes.
So
why not launch the S5 with the better screen in the first place? That
was the plan, according to SamMobile, but it was abandoned due to
production issues. These are currently being ironed out, and the hi-res
S5 should be with us this year.
Meanwhile, the
International Business Times adds that the S5 Premium or Prime, as it
may be known, will also feature a faster processor - an Exynos 5430
octocore with four cores running at 2.1GHz, four at 1.5GHz and a 600MHz
ARM Mali GPU and dedicated Seiren audio processor mopping up any
survivors. As ever with Samsung, whether your particular market will get
this chipset or some other variant remains to be seen.
Samsung
isn't the only manufacturer rumoured to have a 2K screen on the way.
LG's next flagship, the G3, is said to sport a display with the same
resolution. And where these two South Korean giants lead, everyone else
usually follows.
