Samsung has admitted that the public didn't see much difference between the Galaxy S III and S4 smartphones and said the S5 would likely pack a substantially different design. Exec Lee Young Hee told Bloomberg that the new flagship will go "back to basics. Mostly, it's about the display and the feel of the cover." It'll also arrive with a brand new version of the Galaxy Gear smartwatch, which itself will have "more advanced functions" and an improvement for what she called "the bulky design." Other revelations include the possible use of an eye-scanner in the handset for greater security, though that possibility is still being studied.
Farther down the road, Samsung said that it's looking at significant changes for the upcoming Galaxy Note 4 in order to target it at professionals "willing to pay more for handsets." As such, it may pack a three-sided display, like the so-called Youm prototype we saw last year at CES 2013, which will allow users to read messages from oblique angles. Finally, Hee revealed that the Galaxy S5 will arrive in March or April after Mobile World Congress. Considering we saw the Galaxy S III and S4 around the same period in previous years, however, that's not a big shocker.
