Samsung Galaxy S5 Release Date Rumors: Next-Gen Android Smartphone To Sport A 13 MP Camera Sensor; Launching At MWC 2014?

The rumor mill is starting to work in high gear for the Samsung Galaxy S5 release date claiming that the new device may arrive early next year.

A post from International Business Times suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S5 release date may occur during the Mobile World Congress event next year (MWC 2014), happening particularly from February 24 to 27. However, the post also mentioned that Samsung Galaxy S5 release date may be set during its own official unveiling event.

Moreover, as reported by Latinos Post, Samsung Galaxy S5 release date may also be scheduled for March 2014 and it will be available in the market on April.

The rumor about Samsung Galaxy S5 release date set for March next year was based on the release schedule of Samsung Galaxy S4. It was announced March 2012 and became available in the market the next month. However, the Samsung Galaxy S5 release date rumors emerging lately should still be taken with a grain of salt, especially since Samsung is not known to strictly adhering with a launch pattern when it comes to unveiling their flagship smartphones.

Aside from Samsung Galaxy S5 release date speculations, reports about its specs are also rife and the most recent ones suggested that the smartphone may feature a 13 MP camera sensor. Aside from the Samsung Galaxy S5, the Galaxy Note 4 is also rumored to have this new 13MP sensor from Samsung.

The 13MP sensor, as posted on Design & Trend, "sensor can capture images 8 times brighter than those captured by the Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4, which would rival the HTC One for low light capability."

Moreover, the camera also has an improved anti-shake functionality and more power-friendly. "The anti-shake feature will help correct an angular inaccuracy of up to 1.5° (digital cameras can fix errors up to 0.7°)."

Citing Patent Bolt, the post said that the 13 MP sensor alleged to be featured on the Samsung Galaxy S5, will be put into mass production during the first half of 2014.

For tech fans eagerly excited to grab the new smartphone, it would be safer to assume that Samsung Galaxy S5 release date may be set at Q1 or at the latest, Q2 of 2014.  Expect more news and updates about Samsung Galaxy S5 in the coming months.
