Premium Samsung Galaxy S5 dreams dashed as CEO says no In the run up to the Samsung Galaxy S5 launch several rumours suggested the Korean firm would release two variants of the flagship smartphone, one of which would be a premium metal-clad offering. Sadly however, that appears to be false. Korean site KBench is reporting that Samsung CEO J.K. Shin has told the media that it wont be producing a premium model of the Galaxy S5 - a handset which was referred to as the Galaxy F Series in various rumours. Design is still an area of contention for Samsungs high-end smartphones as it prefers to use plastic over more premium materials such as glass and metal. This gives the likes of the iPhone 5S, Sony Xperia Z2 and potentially the upcoming all new HTC One an advantage as they can garner interest from consumers with their sleek looks. Take Note Shin did hint that the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 would be arriving in the second half of 2014 - hardly a surprise as the Korean firm has kept a tight annual schedule on its phablet reboots. Will the Galaxy Note 4 sport an all-metal body? Well Shin didnt provide any more details, and wed think its unlikely - but not totally out of the question.
