The source for the newspaper – who supposedly has knowledge of the phone and has been briefed on specifications – went on to say the Korean company's new flagship smartphone will not actually include features that have so far been heavily rumoured.
The main rumour that appears to have been quashed relates to the display, as many analysts had predicted the S5 will come with a Quad HD, 2560 x 1440 2K display.

However, the source says this won't be the case and that, instead, the smartphone will come sporting a full HD, 1080p display. It is also claimed that the phone won't receive an eye-scanner, as previously predicted.
The Galaxy S5 will come with a camera and a processor upgrade, but specifications of these were not disclosed.
Samsung is also expected to debut the new Galaxy Gear smartwatch alongside the S5 launch at MWC.
