An insider confirmed that Samsung Galaxy S5 features will include a 2K display and 16 MP back camera. The handset will also come in two variants.

SamMobile cited an insider from Samsung who confirmed that the Galaxy S5 will come in two body variants: one made of plastic and the other one made of metal. The handset with metal casing will be more expensive compared to the plastic model. This Samsung strategy reminded us of the time when Apple released the iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C. The Samsung insider did not say whether the Galaxy S5 with metal casing will be Samsung's new premium line, Galaxy F, like what the rumours claimed.

The report continued that Samsung Galaxy S5 will pack an AMOLED screen display with 2,560×1,440 pixel resolution. This backed up the rumours that the upcoming smartphone will sport a 2K display. Unfortunately, the insider did not disclose what Samsung Galaxy S5 screen size will be. Rumours stated that the Galaxy S5 will pack 5.25 inches screen panel.

As for the camera, Galaxy S5 will be equipped with 16 megapixel camera at the back. This rumour is no longer new as it has been going around for quite a while. However, there is no word yet on the optical image stabilization (OIS). It seems that Samsung will say pass to the said technology.

Other features that Samsung Galaxy S5 may include are octo-core Exynos 6 chipset or a Snapdragon 805 SoC for the 4G/LTE variant. The handset is also expected to run with Android 4.4 Kitkat OS. As for the release date, Samsung Galaxy S5 is reported to be revealed in April.

The insider also confirmed that Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini and Galaxy S5 Zoom are on its way. The devices may be launched a couple of months after the Galaxy S5 hits the market. According to Sammobile's insider, the Galaxy S5 Mini will be introduced in June, while the Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom will hit the market in May. Both handsets will come with Super AMOLED displays, while the Galaxy S5 Zoom's unit will pack qHD resolution with 4.8 inches screen. Consumers should expect that the two devices will be pre-loaded with Android 4.4 KitKat OS.
