Samsung Galaxy S5 Release Date, Features & Specs: LDS Antenna, PLS LCD Display and Slim Design Added to New Smartphone?
Another set of interesting Samsung Galaxy S5 rumors have arrived with IBTimes AU edition reporting the possibility of an LDS Antenna and PLS LCD display added along with a slimmer design.
ETNews wrote that the Korean tech giant may go for the LCD displays instead of the traditionally used AMOLED displays. This is all for the reason of reducing costs up to about 20 percent. It was recalled how the previous flagship phone Galaxy S4 took about $236 to create with its most expensive part being the full HD AMOLED display. It reportedly costs $75.
The tech company has used the LCD displays for their tablet products and other devices such as the Galaxy Note 10.1 and the Nexus 10.
It was also the ETNews that mentioned the Samsung Galaxy S5 may be released with a much slimmer design compared to its predecessor. This is made possible if the technology to be implemented will include that of the LDS Antenna that was also introduced for the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Since the LDS antenna will be applied to its exterior structure then it could simplify the future Samsung smartphone with its overall design turned slimmer.
With the Galaxy Note 3, the antenna was molded into its back right between the battery and the circuitry in its interiors. This is what made the Note 3 slimmer by 8.3mm. compared to its predecessor's 9.7mm measure.
The LCD display feature can bring more colors to the screen along with less battery drainage while the LDS antenna can help manufacturers tune in the frequencies of the device for various countries and a wide range of regions. However, the antenna is rumored to be only possible if it will be applied to the plastic rendition of the Samsung Galaxy S5.
