Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus revealed, upgraded to Snapdragon 805 processor

Samsung has outed several Galaxy S5 variants so far in 2014, including the S5 Active, S5 LTE-AS5 Sport and S5 mini. Now we’ve got one more to add to the list.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus has been revealed on Samsung’s Dutch website. The device has a design that’s similar to the regular Galaxy S5, but it boasts one significant upgrade: a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor rather than the quad-core Snapdragon 801 chip that’s found in the original S5.

Outside of that change, the Galaxy S5 Plus’s spec list looks similar to the GS5’s:

  • 5.1-inch 1920x1080 Super AMOLED display
  • 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 805 processor
  • 2GB of RM
  • 16GB of storage
  • microSD card slot
  • 16-megapixel rear, 2-megapixel front cameras
  • NFC
  • 4G LTE
  • 2800mAh battery
  • Android 4.4 KitKat

While the Snapdragon 801-powered Galaxy S5 likely performs perfectly fine for most folks, I’m sure that there are some spec hounds that’d like the Snapdragon 805-equipped GS5 Plus, especially since it offers a chip like the one that’s in the Note 4 but with a significantly smaller screen. Unfortunately, there’s no word on when or where the GS5 Plus will be released.

Would you buy the Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus if it were made available in your neck of the woods?
