Spookr: s5

Samsung is set to launch the follow-up to the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" target="" title="">Galaxy S4</a> in just a few months' time, according to a report out of Korea, after the flagship phone has <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" target="" title="">failed to top its spectacularly popular predecessors</a>.
<br />

The Galaxy S5 will launch in February, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" target="" title="">Korean site ET News reports</a>,
 quoting an unnamed Samsung official, alongside a refreshed Galaxy Gear 2
 smart watch. That's three months earlier than usual for the S series, 
which is usually shipped in May.
<br />

This premature mobile will come in two editions, the report says, with a <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" target="" title="">Galaxy Round</a>-esque
 curved metal option alongside a cheaper version in the usual plastic. 
Both will have 3GB of RAM, a 16-megapixel camera, a huge 4,000mAh 
battery and run on <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" target="" title="">Android 4.4 KitKat</a> from the get-go.
<br />

Samsung did not have any comment on the rumour at time of publication.
<br />

Samsung may be keen to cut its losses on the S4, which has suffered 
along with other high-end smart phone makers as budget Androids have 
become better and better. Bringing out a new flagship phone in February 
would certainly make Mobile World Congress interesting, and dominate the
 show in the same way the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" target="" title="">Galaxy Note 3</a> and <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" target="" title="">Galaxy Gear were by far the biggest deals at IFA</a> back in September.
<br />

While the S4 is immensely powerful and has an incredibly good screen, it is superficially very similar to its predecessor, the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" target="" title="">S3</a>. Android aficionados may have skipped it for the sleek metal of the <a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" target="" title="">HTC One</a>, undoubtedly the most stylish phone of the year.
<br />

Are you perfectly happy with your S4, or peeved that it may be 
superseded so soon? What would you like to see in a future flagship from
