Samsung may unveil a higher-end version of its flagship Galaxy S5 phone come June.
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 2,560×1,440 pixels from the 1,920×1,080 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.
Asked about a potential Prime S5, a spokeswoman for Samsung told CNET that the company doesn’t comment on rumors or speculation.
