A lot is already being said and written about the alleged Galaxy S5 which is likely to go in production in January and slated for a launch in February or March. Now, a new report from ZDNet Korea says the Galaxy S5 will be unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, this February. One of the first rumours about the S5 was about its 2560 x 1440 pixels display. The report also adds more meat to this speculation, Besides the QHD (2560x1440p) resolution, the report says the S5 will have something called the Iris verification technology.
Eye scanner? We see a 'You're not holding it right' joke coming
Ever since, Apple introduced fingerprint scanner with the iPhone 5S, there's been great interest in using biometric technology in smartphones. HTC One Max has a fingerprint scanner, just like the iPhone's. Of course Samsung won't be left out of the biometrics race. The rumoured “Eye-Scanning” unlock capability is based on the Iris verification technology.

It is also highly speculated to come powered by either Qualcomm Snapdragon 805, or a 64-bit version of Samsung's own Exynos chip. The Galaxy S5 is also expected to get a 16-megapixel camera module with optical image stabilisation.
