New Samsung Galaxy S5 UI Leaks Again: Galaxy S5 UI with 20 Megapixel Camera

Samsung is about to unveil its new user interface (UI) on its Galaxy S5. Rumours are afloat that Samsung will announce this at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) next month. Even as photos are being pasted online @evleaks posted more of them on Twitter. Though there are no details, the pictures speak for themselves. Samsung is into BlinkFeed and Google Now territory.

Taipei: @evleaks had posted on Twitter on January 7 that Samsung is “exploring a new smartphone UI”. The screenshots revealed next to nothing. Though some things look different from the slightly cartoony look of the present interface, we cannot be sure. The fonts appear to be narrow like on the low resolution devices. The lock screen looks good. The central screen looks like it has information on it like in BlinkFeed. Samsung’s apps appear alongside those of Android in older format of the home page.

The new UI appears to have the best from every operating system with at-a-glance information literally at the users’ fingertips. It is similar to Windows phone tiles where even a message appears with the sender’s photo and a snippet of the message. Updated information from the real world too appears like map routes and flight timings. As Samsung’s Galaxy S5 is coming out with a number of health and sports accessories, sports news could be accurate, it is learnt.

Coming to the latest apps, there is an icon of Starbucks (coffee), meaning to say you can pay through your phone. This may apply only to the US for Google Wallet. But with Zapp in touch with five UK banks to use its phones and tablets to pay, it might apply to UK also. Zapp is a mobile payment service where the user can buy and pay through phone. It also informs the user of his bank balance, enabling him to decide to make the purchase or not.

If reported news by a tipster to Phone Arena is anything to go by, the new Samsung Galaxy S5 will come with a 2K QHD display and a 20-megapixel camera that supports –hold your breath—an iris scanner if you please. Also it will record 4K video while shooting pictures. But the battery, reports say is going to be just 2900mAh which could play spoil sport for a phone with these many features. But it is the usual plastic build.
