GS5 to launch in January

[smokedog]

So S5 to look like a mini Note 3 then, is that current thinking?

But isn't a Note 3 a bigger S4... don't compute... infinite loop...argh

You need to find a way to get out of that loop. Perhaps put in a break point?

I don't see the comparison, The Note 3 is different in almost every single way to the S4 o.O

Same. The S4 looks (and is) a naturally evolved form of the S3. the Note 3 is the same to the Note II in that regard.

Agreed.

All I really meant was - will the S5 have a faux leather rear like the Note 3.

 

[Warp279]

S4 looked very similar to S3. I could barely tell the difference.

if the S5 looks similar it would be a disappointment.

If it does then that's great. Only Samsung I've used without a case so far because that back cover provides better grip than any case ever did and pretty much cannot be scratched.

Has everyone got their crackers ready for tomorrow night when Samsung bring out the cheese again

I hope so, I like the back of the Note 3 a lot. I think we might see an all new design though...

I don't think they'll be as daft this time, but you never know!

 

[Fallen god]

Samsung did say low key event this time but hey, we all need a few laughs haha.

 

[RIZZEE]

What did they do last time?

 

[Christmas themed thank]

Are stereo speakers likely?

 

[Robbo]

Oh boy...

Are stereo speakers likely?

It hasn't been mentioned but it's certainly possible, HTC's 'BoomSound' has got tons of praise so Samsung must have considered their own implementation.

 

[Simps]

3 colours by the looks of it

 

[Robbo]

So it looks just like the S4?!

Can't tell if faux leather back.

Does seem legit though as the info about a gold version was leaked a bit ago.

Looks like faux - if you full screen it, it doesn't seem glossy enough to be pure plastic fantastic?

Well, there goes the stereo speaker idea

You might be right, I can't really tell though. Why isn't it in HD! And why didn't the person film the phones sneakily!

I expect the press are being allowed a look at the phones under NDA, then as soon as the event starts they can publish a preview. Same happened with the S3 if I remember rightly.

I can't really see a speaker on the back unless it's the thing under the camera next to the flash? Typically it'd be at the bottom, can't see much there.

Am I the only person that doesn't like the faux leather on the Note 3? It felt out of place to me
