The rumored Galaxy S5 Prime will offer a sharper display and beefier processor, according to Asia Today, which cited information from unnamed industry sources. As reported by Sammobile, the phone would bump up its screen resolution to 2,560x1,440 pixels from the 1,920x1,080 found on the current S5.

The Prime would also be powered by an octa-core Exynos 5430 processor. The current S5 comes in two different CPU versions -- one with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chip, the other with an octa-core Exynos 5 Octa 5422 processor.

Finally, the Prime edition could jettison the current model's plastic body in favor of a metal one.

I mean if you can wait why not wait and see which one you want.


Obviously if you need phone now then get one now

I got the HTC ONE (M8) yesterday. I swapped from the Galaxy S3. It's much bulkier, but I am pleased with it so far.

Mine may be just a bad one, but the interface isn't very responsive, the browser doesn't do well when opening links, the S Health keeps crashing, and my BBZ10 had a brighter screen.

No matter what you get or how long you wait there will be something around the corner.

This is the first I'm hearing about a "S5 Prime".

I'd wait if I were you.

Wait until june and get S4

Differences are not worth getting S5, IMHO

I wouldn't consider s5 waterproof.. Maybe water resistant but if you drop it in a pool, it'll still be fricked.

All my nerdy software developer co-workers love it. No offense to you but you are probably better off on on iPhone due to it's simplicity

perfect once I'm out of the eveil clutches of Sprint at the end of Summer I can get this bad boy.

Though I will say, there is no time using my s-3 that I even felt like it lacked.

Also Apple fan boys, there is no need to worry about screen resolution with half of y'all having cracked screens. I swear everyday I see at least 2-3 iphones with cracked screens.

Galaxy S5 Water test in pool

dude puts the S5 in a pool for an hour, and it works perfectly. It is pretty impressive
