A concept video for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S5 hit the internet this week courtesy of O2 Guru TV.
The team published the video and followed some of the recent rumors to create the specifications for the handset.
O2's Galaxy S5 will feature an ultra-slim aluminum flexible body that is bezel free. Other specs include a 5-inch flexible 2K HD Super AMOLED display with 2560x1440 resolution at 587ppi, a 64-bit octo-core processor, 3GB RAM, a 16-megapixel rear camera with 4K video support, quad front-facing speakers with S Beats audio technology, a 4000mAh battery, and Android 4.4 KitKat with next-gen TouchWiz.

Samsung confirmed earlier this year that it planned to launch handsets with 64-bit chips in 2014. However, the company could end up waiting for the Galaxy Note 4 to introduce the component.
The Galaxy S5 could actually end up featuring a wrap-around display. The company is rumored to be releasing a smartphone next year that will have the next-gen YOUM technology available, according to a report from Bloomberg. This device could be the next-gen flagship.
Bloomberg claims the device will have a display that wraps around the smartphone's sides. All three of the sides of the display will operate independently, which means that notifications and other tasks can be accomplished by simply touching the sides of the phone.
The publication did not confirm which model may have the technology, but it is fair to assume that it could be used for the flagship Galaxy S5 as a new selling point.
The Galaxy S5 rumors have also pointed to the company improving other aspects on the handset, including the camera and the display that will receive a significant resolution increase.
