Samsung has appear that it will be absolution a Galaxy S5 smartphone
about April. It will aswell bare a additional bearing Gear smartwatch,
which will accept bigger appearance and design.
Lee Young Hee, executive vice president for the mobile sector of the
business told Bloomberg in an interview: “We’ve been announcing our
first flagship model in the first half of each year, around March and
April, and we are still targeting for release around that time,” Lee
said. “When we release our S5 device, you can also expect a Gear
successor with more advanced functions, and the bulky design will also
be improved.”
Apparently Samsung is also exploring the possibilities of using eye
scanner technology for the first time in its devices, in a bid to
compete with its rival, Apple.
Currently one in every three smartphones sold globally is a Samsung
branded handset. To keep up with the competition, Samsung is adding new
features and models to its family of devices. The new S5 and wearable
device will debut at the same time because this boosts sales of tablets
too.
Lee Young Hee has also said that the company will announce at least
one other wearable device this year but didn’t give any further
information on what it would be or when specifically.
As for the S5, Samsung are keeping pretty tight lipped on specific
features. “Many people are fanatical about iris recognition technology,”
Lee said at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
“We are studying the possibility but can’t really say whether we will
have it or not on the S5.”
When Apple released the iPhone 5S and 5C back in September, sales of
the Galaxy S4 slowed down. Lee thinks that consumers may have been a
little disappointed with the S4 because it hadn’t changed much from its
predecessor, the S3.
“When we moved to S4 from S3, it’s partly true that consumers
couldn’t really feel much difference between the two products from the
physical perspective, so the market reaction wasn’t as big,” she said.
“For the S5, we will go back to the basics. Mostly, it’s about the
display and the feel of the cover.”
Analysts think this is going to be a difficult year for Samsung, especially when it comes keeping pace with rivals.
“The release of the S5 will be very important to Samsung,”
Lee Seung Woo,
an analyst at IBK Securities Co., said. “Competition is going to
intensify, and it’s not going to be an easy year for the company.”
