Samsung Galaxy S5 Leak: Name and New Features

Jan 30, 2014 01:02 PM EST | By Staff Writer

There have been a few leaks when it comes to Samsung's Galaxy S5, and they involve some new features. According to Design & Trend, the smartphone will not only be called the Galaxy S5, but will also feature a 2K display and an iPhone 5S-competing fingerprint scanner.

So how do we know about these new features? The Galaxy S5 branding was revealed in Twitter snapshots that were posted by the leaker, @evleaks. Samsung has yet to confirm any of these new details when it comes to the S5. However, the images that evleaks released were eventually verified.

You can actually see the pictures for yourself on Design & Trend. It's good to note, though, that these leaks are just in testing rather than in a finished interface.

Yet this isn't the only news (or rumor) coming out from Samsung. There's been another leak when it comes to its new "Life Times" app. According to EnGadget, Samsung appears to want to automatically log phone and app usage on Galaxy smartphones with the new app. This would catalogue photos, emails, location, music, messages and social network updates. All of this information would then be displayed in a daily digest.

This latest leak flies in the face of reports suggesting that Samsung is working with Google to scale down its Android customizations and reduce the number of in-house apps. This new app could potentially function a bit like a diary app, like Day Journal for Android or Day One on iOS.

Samsung has yet to confirm any of these leaks.
