Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A Supposedly Better than the Vanilla Galaxy S5—So Here’s a Way to Get it Yourself
Samsung itself may be unsatisfied with what it had doled out to customers with the Samsung Galaxy S5, as a new blog from the South Korean Company discusses the new technology found in an "updated" version of its 2014 flagship.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A was first shown off a few weeks ago, only for fans to realize that it was going to be enjoyed exclusively by the South Korean market. Now, Samsung is praising the new specs to the point of even comparing it to its own flagship.
Samsung points out that the Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A is three times as fast as the vanilla Samsung Galaxy S5, as well as its possession of the WQHD Super AMOLED display. The latter feature had been the focused, with Samsung telling fans that they should not be satisfied with just the old displays that they've enjoyed until now, which are the full HD displays. Samsung then goes on to compare the images of a yellow chick on the FHD and WQHD displays of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A respectively.
Detail-wise, there are very noticeable areas where the WQHD has its edge--you see more of the feathers, the lines near the bird's eye and a softer touch to the colours.
"It's sometimes hard to think about display quality since we already have such clear and vibrant displays on the market. But the matter of fact is that these displays are simply what we have gotten used to, and there is certainly room for improvement. With the WQHD, you don't have to be satisfied with what you're accustomed to. The WQHD can show you more--improved readability, more vivid three-dimensional effects and the aesthetic beauty--which will bring viewers closer to 'the real thing,'" said Samsung via the official Samsung Blog.
More than the comparison, is this a hint of the Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A headed for more than just the South Korean market? Or will this device be the start of a WQHD line of devices for the future releases of the brand?
