    The new layout looks interesting, I wonder how it handles legacy Android stuff, I assume there will still be a apps screen.

    The Galaxy S5 is expected to sport a 5.25 inch QHD (2,560 x 1,440 pixels) Super AMOLED display, an Exynos 6 octa-core/ quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32/64GB storage, 16MP rear camera, 3.2MP front-facing camera, a large 3,200mAh battery plus Android KitKat with a refined user interface. The device will also follow the example of the Galaxy S4 and arrive with both Mini and Zoom versions in tow. Rumours of a premium metal version and a cheaper plastic model are also doing the rounds.
    Got to wonder about the price of the decent version (the one with the 64GB of storage). And I totally misread/misunderstood that last sentence - I read it as "Galaxy S5 launch, plus an S5C and an S5S later", which did leave me kind of wondering what the launch S5 was made of if it wasn't plastic nor metal - carbon fibre?

    Not too happy with that massive screen either - only a hairs breadth smaller than the original Galaxy Note. "Fondleslab" is an apt description.

    Oh, and hope that it's a removable battery - deal breaker for me since I'm on the second battery for my S3.

    Yep, a brown circle labelled "Legacy ****".

    I thought Google had a word in Samsung's ear for straying off message with Andriod and now it looks like they are moving further away?

    I'm not 100% sold on the new interface. Need to try it first to get a feel for it.

    S5 should keep S4 size and all the internals and work on usability. Particularly on S voice app as it has enough grunt to do it.

    Otherwise it becomes too close to the Galaxy Note in size.
