Top 5 Confirmed Samsung Galaxy S5, Note 4 Features Presented in Analyst Day and Coming in 2014 Release Dates
Samsung subtly confirmed some of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 4 features that consumers will most likely see in 2014 releases.
Samsung recently held its second annual Analyst Day where the company informed over analysts on its plans and roadmaps for the future and its upcoming devices like Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 4. These devices are only two of the most anticipated gadgets from Samsung.
Daily Tech got hold of the slides presented by Samsung in its annual Analyst Day that provided subtle confirmation on the specs and features of Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 4. These features are:
16MP ISOCELL Back Camera
One of the confirmed features of Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 4 is a 16MP ISOCELL camera sensor. The ISOCELL sensor is Samsung's new innovation in mobile cameras. The company said it improves picture quality by physically isolating individual pixels. According to Samsung, ISOCELL provides for better and clearer photos even when shooting in low-light conditions.
Flexible Screen Displays
Another feature that consumers will most likely see in Samsung Galaxy S5 and Note 4 next year is a flexible screen display. Previous reports claimed that Korean tech companies LG and Samsung were working on bendable screen displays. Moreover, Samsung also revealed that the company is working on overcoming the technology barriers in creating foldable screen displays that will most likely make its debut in 2015. The screen displays are supported by a patent filed by Samsung and picked up by PatentBolt. The patent showed a tri-fold flexible display that will replace the traditional LCD displays used in current Samsung devices.
2,560 x 1,440 WQHD Panels With 560 ppi Resolution
Samsung also hinted that upcoming Samsung smartphones will pack screens with 2,560 x 1,440 WQHD resolution and pixel density 560ppi. Samsung announced that it is working on bringing Ultra High Definition 4K smartphones as early as 2015.
64-bit Chip Processor
Samsung already announced that it will bring processors with 64-bit architecture in upcoming devices. The company revealed its plans to be the first to release a 64-bit chip using optimized IP cores. Samsung also planned to beat GlobalFoundries and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Comp., Ltd to the race. The latter is Apple's partner in making the 64-bit A7 processors for the recently released iPhone 5S.
NAND Flash Memory
Part of Apple's roadmap is the inclusion of NAND flash memory on its devices as soon as it overcame the technology barriers in the technology. NAND flash memory is a type of non-volatile storage technology that does not require power to retain data. An important goal of NAND flash development has been to reduce the cost per bit and increase maximum chip capacity so that flash memory can compete with magnetic storage devices like hard disks.
