Samsung Galaxy S5 could sport plastic body,32-bit SoC, fingerprint scanner,

The much-anticipated Galaxy S5 from Samsung may still be produced in plastic, feature a 32-bit SoC, and carry a fingerprint scanner, Ming-Chi Kuo KGI analyst has predicted..

Ming-Chi Kuo, claims that Samsung will be bringing in the feature so as counter competition from Apple. Kuo further said that the South Korean company will use a fingerprint scanner built by Validity Sensors, a company now owned by touchpad maker Synaptics.


Ming-Chi Kuo also revealed that the alleged Samsung Galaxy S5 might still carry plastic casing instead of the metallic chassis that was being rumoured
He has also claimed that Samsung, following its tradition for high-end smartphones, will again launch the alleged Galaxy S5 equipped with two different processors. The 'Prime' variant of the Galaxy S5 will be powered by company's own Exynos 5430 octa-core 32-bit processor, while the 'Standard' version will equip the Qualcomm's MSM8974 AC quad-core 32-bit processor, as per Kuo. If this story is true, then it means Samsung would be reneging on its previous promise to put a 64-bit processor in its next Galaxy flagship.
Other specifications include a 3GB of RAM for 'Prime' variant, and the 2GB of RAM for 'Standard' variant; a 16-megapixel rear camera; a 2-megapixel front-facing camera and a 2850mAh battery.
Kuo further revealed that the alleged 'Prime' version of the Galaxy S5 will carry a 5.2-inch WQHD (1440x2560 pixel) AMOLED display boasting of a 565ppi pixel density, while the alleged 'Standard' version is said to include a 5.2-inch full-HD AMOLED display with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels and a pixel density of 423ppi. (you will say the Kuo guy is a Gadget octopus with his predictions, what should I say?)
