Samsung released the Galaxy S4 and it received rave reviews. The device is slim, light and powerful. It also sports a screen that works well with its premium features. Since Samsung released the device, the market has been on the lookout for the next Galaxy release. What has Samsung in store for its Galaxy S5 release?

With the numbers of reports coming up, it should be enough to provide an idea on what people can expect from Samsung's next flagship phone. For starters, those who have been hoping to see a video render of the upcoming phone will be pleased to hear about a video that sprung up. According to the latest info leak, the Galaxy S5 will feature a next gen display, metallic design and a 16 MP camera. The device will also likely feature a curved display.

According to several sources, analysts do not expect Samsung to move away from its highly successful Galaxy S line. The Korean tech giant has managed to diversify and extract every potential sale on every kind of handset and device it has released under the product line, say reports. As an overview, the following has been reported so far prior to the release of the Samsung Galaxy S5:

  • What to expect: a higher end phone that can trump the previous excellent features of the S4
  • When is the release: sometime around March
  • What is the cost: the Galaxy S5 is expected to be around $650 or AU$700

Leading smartphone manufacturers seem to follow a schedule. The launches over the years make it easier for analysts to predict when companies will likely release their new products. As mentioned, there is a big possibility that the Samsung Galaxy S5 will make an appearance around March 2014.

As for the price, people should not expect it to be around an affordable range, even with the upgrades and additions reported. For instance, sources cite that the S5 will sport a curved display, aluminium chassis and more that could prompt the prices to skyrocket.

It was also reported that Samsung will add a new CMOS image sensor called the ISOCELL together with its 16 MP snapper. This new technology can isolate individual pixels.

Previously, predictions noted Samsung's increasing focus on a full metal jacket instead of a polycarbonate build. This will enhance the appeal of the device and offer a more premium approach to the product line.

Android Geeks reported an "inside source" saying that the Galaxy S5 will arrive featuring a new look called "Design 3.0" and a full aluminium chassis.
