Galaxy S5 Features Revealed: Display to Measure in at 5.25 Inches
Some of the Samsung Galaxy S5 features have been revealed in a new report.
Displays that measure in at 5.25-inches are now being mass produced by Samsung in preparation for the launch of its new flagship handset, according to DDaily. The publication claims that the new device will come with a 5.25-inch AMOLED display tht will pack WQHD resolution, or 2560x1440 at 560 ppi.
The Galaxy S5 display will be similar to the Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 when it comes to pixel arrangement as Samsung wants to keep in place the diamond pixel layout found on the 2013 flagships.

The report is based on information leaked by unnamed industry sources from South Korea and should be taken with a grain of salt due to the fact that Samsung has not confirmed anything on the S5 at this time.
The company did confirm that device's with this same resolution will be produced in 2014, but did not reveal which ones it would be.
Samsung recently held its first Analyst Day event in eight years where it introduced some of the new technology it will use on its devices starting in 2014.
Displays will be greatly improved next year as Samsung will introduce AMOLED panels with pixel densities of up to 560ppi. This would allow Samsung to blow past HTC who currently has a device with 469ppi with the One handset.
This would also see Samsung move from Full HD on its current handset to WQHD or 2560x1440 pixels.
Samsung also hopes to take it even further by having UHD, otherwise known as 4K displays on its devices starting in 2015. A display with a resolution this high on a smartphone could prove unnecessary in terms of experience, but it is still a great selling point and a way for Samsung to outpace the competition.
