Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime Tipped to Feature Ultra-Slim Bezels in Leaked Image

Samsung's much-rumoured Galaxy F smartphone, also known as Galaxy S5 Prime, has once again been leaked in an image, this time alongside a Galaxy S5 handset and showcasing a thinner bezel that similar to those on the recently announced LG G3.

The alleged image showing the rumoured Samsung Galaxy F, courtesy Phonearena, not only highlights the smartphone's LG G3-like thin side bezels, but also the slightly slimmer bezels on top and bottom also as compared to the Galaxy S5 , giving more room to the screen while maintaining a smaller profile.

A couple of days ago it was noted that the rumoured prime-variant of the Galaxy S5 might feature the Exynos 5433 SoC and Intel XMM7260 modem, like indicated in previous reports.

Earlier this week, the alleged Samsung Galaxy F's black colour variant was again teased in an image showcasing the brushed metal back panel. Other than that, the alleged premium Galaxy S5 variant will also have an aluminium chassis instead of the chrome plastic frame, as from an earlier report.

Some of the rumoured specifications of the handset include a 5.3-inch QHD (1440x2560 pixel) screen, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, and 3GB of RAM. It is also reported to be a limited edition smartphone, due to the expensive nature of its Super AMOLED QHD display.

The Galaxy S5 Prime is expected to launch sometime in September alongside the iPhone 6. Samsung, with its to-be-announced Galaxy F smartphone could finally step away from its plastic image with the anticipated metal rear panels. For now, the firm has its metal Galaxy J smartphone out but that is only available in their home turf and has not been made available globally.

Samsung Galaxy F Tipped to Replace GalaxyS Later This Year

Here’s a rumor that’s pretty out there. According to a tip that Evleaks received, the Galaxy F – picture below – has a QHD display, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor inside. Now that’s the not the crazy part about this rumor. 

The crazy part is that it’s replacing the Galaxy S line later this year at “Unpacked Ep. 2″. Now the name of the event isn’t a surprise, since they called the Galaxy Note event that last year. But the fact that there will be no Galaxy S6 is the surprise. Now it’s important to note here that this is completely unverified and could not be true. As this is a tip that was sent to Evleaks and not something he found out on his own. 

So take this with a huge grain of salt right now.

Now the Samsung Galaxy F does look a lot like the Galaxy S and every other Samsung smartphone out there. So the real question here is why the name change, if this is indeed true. Since Samsung has spent so much money marketing the Galaxy S line to everyone all over the world. 

You’d think they’d want to keep it around a bit more. This is a pretty interesting rumor to say the least. And one that will probably stir up all kinds of speculation.

Perhaps this is the “premium” device we’ve all been waiting on from Samsung? Who knows. But it sure is interesting. It’s become apparent that Samsung’s new baby is the Galaxy Note line as those devices do sell really well, and sometimes better than the Galaxy S line of devices. So it could be a reboot to their smartphone line, which is needed.

As not everyone wants a near 6-inch device, these days. What are your thoughts on this rumor? Be sure to let us know in the comments below.
