Yet more rumors of Samsung's as-yet-unconfirmed Galaxy S5 smartphone.

Rumors say the next Galaxy S smartphone will arrive early next year, and according to the latest scuttlebutt, the device may come packing a screen measuring more than 5 inches in size and with a 2560 x 1440 resolution.

Other rumors regarding the GS5 have pointed to a 16-megapixel camera with Samsung's ISOCELL technology, a 64-bit Exynos, a metal chassis, and Android 4.4 KitKat (obviously).

No word on a release date just yet, but Samsung's GS4 was announced last March and went on sale in April. The first model went on sale in June the year it was announced, while the Galaxy S II and Galaxy S III both enjoyed May launches. Looking at that track record, Samsung doesn't really have a clear pattern for launching new Galaxy S phones. With sales of the GS4 (pictured above) slowing, it seems the company is hoping that a whole new model will bring in more sales.
