Desde Naver, popular portal coreano curiosamente fundado por exempleados de Samsung, afirman que el S5 Prime verá la luz a mediados del próximo mes de Junio rivalizando así de forma directa con el LG G3, terminal junto al que protagonizaría un lanzamiento prácticamente simultáneo en todos los operadores coreanos.
Con respecto a especificaciones, nada nuevo en el horizonte. La pantalla Amoled QHD de 5.2 pulgadas sigue siendo más que posible pero parece ser que el ritmo de producción de este tipo de paneles no es lo suficientemente elevado como para esperar un lanzamiento internacional a corto plazo, como ha sido una constante en otros terminales de Samsung, el S5 Prime podría quedar como exclusiva para su mercado local, al menos de momento. El resto de especificaciones que se supone mejorarán con respecto al S5 internacional son el procesador Snapdragon 805, 3GB de RAM, la mencionada pantalla QHD, la batería que podría alzarse hasta los 3000mAh y el material de construcción que bien podría ser el tan ansiado aluminio dejando atrás el policarbonato perforado. Por lo demás, mantendría los 16MP en la cámara trasera, el sensor biométrico, el sensor de huellas, la conectividad LTE y aterrizaría de serie con Android 4.4.3.

A new day, a new Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime rumor. Make that two. Or three.
Um, you get the point. Everybody’s talking about the ultra-high-end
smartphone, even though no one knows exactly how it will look and
despite official assurances the “basic” GS5 won’t get upgraded anytime
soon.
Yeah, right. Then I guess all the tipsters and leaksters that have spilled their guts of late are either crazy or complete frauds. Which is surely not the case with Naver, for instance, whose sources tell them the premium S5 shall see daylight “as early as the middle of next month”.
Mind you, they’re talking an actual commercial release in mid-June, at least on Samsung’s domestic shores, so apparently, the S5 Prime and LG’s G3 are indeed to go toe to toe before long. Interestingly, Naver hints at nearly simultaneous launches on all of Korea’s major wireless carriers – SK Telecom, KT and LG U+ – , which would clash a bit with allegations of limited early stocks.
Of course, it’s still entirely possible the Quad HD 5.2 incher won’t
be able to keep up with Western demand. Even worse, it could remain a
Korean or Asian exclusive for a while until finally landing in a handful
of European and North American markets in short supply.
But hey, the Korean tri-launch gives us hope. And so do fresh pricing rumors. The S5 Prime will reportedly cost the equivalent of $880 (KRW 900,000), which sounds like a lot at first, but really isn’t.
It’s actually what Samsung planned to charge for the standard S5 in the very beginning, albeit a pre-release discount saw the price drop to $847 (KRW 866,800). Bottom line, if the speculation pans out, I’d expect the US GS5 Prime to go for $650 outright. $700, tops.
With a 2,560 x 1,440 pixels resolution display, quad-core Snapdragon 805 CPU, 3 GB RAM, pre-loaded Android 4.4.3 KitKat, 16 MP rear-facing camera, beefy 3,000 mAh or so battery, LTE-Advanced connectivity (where available), fingerprint recognition technology and a built-in heart rate monitor.
The outer shell, meanwhile, is the biggest question mark, as Samsung is yet to solve the “plastic or metal” conundrum. Truth be told, if the Galaxy S5 Prime would cost no more than $700, I think I’d be fine with another polycarbonate, perforated exterior. What about you?
