The Galaxy S5 smartphone will reportedly be released by April, and Samsung is said to be considering iris-scanning technology for security in a possible response to Apple’s Touch ID fingerprint sensor in the iPhone 5S.
Lee Young-hee, the company’s mobile executive VP, says that a new version of the Galaxy Gear smartwatch will make its debut alongside the Galaxy S5, saying that it will feature “more advanced functions, and the bulky design will also be improved.” Perhaps the most outlandish revelation is reserved for the Galaxy Note line — the fourth iteration is pegged for the second half of this year, and Samsung is said to be considering a “three-sided display” to allow for visibility from multiple angles.
The Galaxy S5 may make major changes to Samsung’s software, as well, if alleged images of a new UI prove accurate. The new Android skin features a pastel color scheme and thinner fonts; although the screenshots came from Evleaks, which has a good record of accuracy, Samsung is only said to be “exploring” the software revamp.
