geeteam Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The frame arrives courtesy of notorious leaker Nowhereelse.fr, a French blog with a rich history in getting hold of products and parts before during the very early stages. One reason, perhaps, why the Galaxy S4 has not sold in the vast numbers Samsung might have hoped, is cited by many to be the cheap, plastic body. Many other companies competed with the Galaxy S / S2 / S3 in terms of hardware, but most of these rivaling handsets also sported a fairly underwhelming finish. This all changed earlier on in the year with the HTC One, a handset with an uber-sharp display, quad-core Snapdragon processor and, notably, a slick aluminum finish. Many Samsung fans have been crying out for the high-end handset to be afforded an equally high quality finish, and this metal frame suggests this could finally be the case with the S5. Of course, this leak cannot be verified, and it’s also very much possible that the rest of the device could be comprised of plastic, but for those hoping Samsung comes through with something vastly different from the S 4, this should be taken as an encouraging sign. Nowhereelse.fr’s sources claim Samsung will be bringing an aluminum smartphone in the future, and with the HTC One and iPhone 5s both the subject of much acclaim from design experts and fans in general, it will be interesting to see whether the South Korean company does feel like breaking a habit of a lifetime. The frame also points to a slightly larger display than that of the S4, but we’d expect this to be the case anyway. We’ve also been hearing that Samsung plans to really push the envelope with regards to the cameras of both the Note 4 and Galaxy S5, and we certainly cannot wait to hear more about these two eagerly-awaited handsets.

calguyhunk Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 (edited) Male hand with female fingernails?That's not even female fingernails. It's not manicured. Just uncut for weeks. That's just unhygenic. :huh:But funny how Apple is moving towards Plastic and Sammy is going for the metal. Good. At least they're both learning from each other rather than only concentrating on with their juvenile courtroom games :p Edited November 23, 2013 by calguyhunk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highly Unlikely! And why would you need a long nail on your little finger unless you're into Rasgueado? In any case, he should be manicuring 'em if that is indeed the case (acrylic or natural).Also, he needs to take a look at picks. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
