The next smartphone model that will rival the iPhone 5s is the Samsung Galaxy S5, rumored to be waterproof and made out of metal.

Samsung's previous Galaxy S4 model certainly impressed everyone in the smartphone market but just like Apple, the Korean tech company can't just get enough in terms of satisfying their most avid fans.

Here are the latest Samsung Galaxy S5 release date and other rumor round up when it comes to its specs too:

PC Authority mentioned just like the other tech websites of today that the latest Galaxy phone of Samsung will be all set in metal. This is something to look forward to since the range of Galaxy phones has always been in body material of shiny plastic. Taipei Times added that a company by the name of Catcher will be the one supplying the metal casings for the latest Galaxy S5.

Second rumor is that it will be waterproof. This is good news especially for those who have been fans of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active which has been included in the list of the best 2013 smartphones too. It was ETNews that reported the S5 will be tougher in terms of resisting various environmental elements like dust and water.

Just like the iPhone 5s, the Korean tech giant will also pack their latest Galaxy phone with a 64-bit processor too. Surely, they won't allow to fall behind the main offerings of their greatest smartphone rival.

Finally, it was Patent Bolt that stated it may have a 13MP camera which will also follow the same for the company's 2014 smartphone lineup.

Wondering when the Samsung Galaxy S5 release date will fall? It may still require a bit of a time with numerous rumors pointing to March as its potential launch date, Gottabemobile added. For as long as you see the Galaxy S4 on the shelves, then it is not likely that Samsung will introduce the new one yet.
