Samsung always releases a series of editions under its flagship devices. Upon the release of Samsung Galaxy S5, many expected the company to launch a couple of variants under it. True to its tradition, the company has launched the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active. The Samsung Galaxy S5 mini should also be on its way but it is the Prime variant which has been gaining attention. The Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime has also been associated with the Galaxy F series drumming up more interest.
G for Games reported that Samsung has plans to release a smartphone featuring a QHD display. The handset will reportedly be the Galaxy S5 Prime variant. Android Geeks previously reported that Samsung's JK Shin denied the company's plan to release the Prime variant because it does not want to take away the spotlight from the Galaxy S5 release. Denying the Prime variant will encourage sales for the S5 and avoid people waiting out for another release. Some analysts on the other hand believe Samsung does not plan to release a prime edition rather a new line through the Galaxy F. The series will target a similar market with the Prime: the high end sector.
G for Games also reported that the Prime series received certification in South Korea through a similar FCC entity. Three variants received certification through the Radio Research Agency or RRA. The models certified correspond to networks in the country. These include SM-G906K for KT, SM-G906L for LG U+ and SM-G906S for SKT.
Samsung has not released the official details of the series or the devices. Nonetheless, @evleaks uploaded a photo of what could be the prime edition or the Galaxy F line. The tipster also said that the Galaxy F line may kill the Galaxy S line offering a new format. Some of the reported specs include Snapdragon 805 and 5.3-inch QHD diplay. According to reports, the Snapdragon 805 chipset is the best yet from Qualcomm.
