The much anticipated addition to the Samsung Galaxy family
may have a brand new feature that, albeit not entirely unexpected, will take
Samsung's design into a complete new direction. The South Korean manufacturer
is reported to be preparing a new metal body for its upcoming S5.
According to a report by Korean website EMSOne,
Taiwanese-based supplier Catcher is ready to start shipping metal components to
Samsung. It is believed that the South Korean company has turned to HTC
designers who came up with the acclaimed aluminium- body models, technology
news site Crave reports.
The new S5 may be revealed as early as January 2014, but it
is more likely that the official presentation of the device will be held in
March. Based on the popularity of the Galaxy series, the manufacturer is
reported to have ordered up to 30 million metal bodies.
Samsung had been rumored to have plans to ditch its plastic
design for years, so the report is not a surprise to industry experts. The
transition from plastic cases to metal bodies may have been in the works ever
since the launch of the Galaxy S4, which faced serious criticism over its less
than premium design, reports said. However, the switch to metal has been
expected even before the release of the S4, but rumors then were proved wrong.
This time the change may actually happen, since Sony and HTC have both launched
their flagships standing at the higher end of the market. We will just have to
wait and see.
