Galaxy S5 Specs to Include Full On Gesture Controls
The specs on the Samsung Galaxy S5 could include full on gesture controls.
The company filed a patent in Europe recently that details a new innovative technology that can track mind actions such as nodding. It is said to be a more advanced version of the eye sensor found on the Galaxy S4.
The patent application revealed that Samsung will use a sensor that can monitor mind gestures using the front facing camera.
Even though the patent was filed, this technology still might not make an appearance on the Galaxy S5 and could be developed for later models. Not much else is known about the patent at this time aside from the fact that it was filed in the summer of 2013.
The Galaxy S5 is expected to be offered in both plastic and metal options.
A new report from Sam Mobile gives details on Samsung's plans for the next-gen flagship and states that the company will offer a cheaper plastic model and a premium metal version.
The plastic S5 will be priced around $887 and will feature the same Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU in all markets which is rumored to be the 805 chip. It will come with an AMOLED display with a resolution of 2560x1440 and will have a 16-megapixel rear shooter. It will run Android 4.4 KitKat.
The metal Galaxy S5 will have more impressive specs that include a 64-bit Exynos 6 CPU which will have the ability to run all eight cores at once. This chip will be used on all versions of the metal S5, even in LTE markets.
The metal model could even feature a different name and will be known as the Galaxy F. Better specs will command higher cost, which could fall around $1092. The rest of the specs will remain the same on the metal version.
