Samsung's 2013 flagship phone, the Galaxy S4, has been a smashing success, but with its first birthday fast approaching, rumors are flying about its successor. All of the details of Samsung's next flagship phone -- including design, camera, and materials -- are still up in the air. Even the name is uncertain, but we're assuming it will be called the Samsung Galaxy S5.
We're tracking all the buzz about the next Galaxy S, and we'll continue to update this post as new reports surface. Share your predictions for the new device in the comments below.
What we think we know
The rumors for the Samsung Galaxy S5 have been all over the place, but a few things seem certain. Samsung will most definitely include several hardware upgrades with the new device, including a new camera, possibly with an improved sensor, a powerful processor, and maybe a fast-charging battery. There are a handful of reports of a higher-resolution screen with a 2,560x1,440-pixel AMOLED display. Some speculate that Samsung will ditch the polycarbonate exterior it used on S4 and Galaxy Note 3 and instead give the S5 an all-metal case.

Rumors are also flying about new sensors, including an iris scanner that would unlock your phone by scanning your eyeball (this would be Samsung's answer to Apple's Touch ID fingerprint scanner on the iPhone 5S). On the software front, there's a good chance that TouchWiz, Samsung's version of Android, is getting a makeover with a new design.
When we will get it
The buzz is that Samsung will announce the Galaxy S5 in February, either ahead of Mobile World Congress or during the massive mobile hardware trade show in Barcelona, which takes place from February 24 to 27. However, the phone isn't expected to go on sale until March or April.
