Samsung's Galaxy S5 is already gearing up to be one of the most hotly anticipated handsets of 2014, but some of the mystery surrounding the device may have been lifted today after a benchmark result from an unannounced Samsung smartphone was posted online.
The Samsung SM-G900S appeared on GFXBench earlier this week, powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor running at 2.5GHz, paired with an Adreno 330 GPU. This is the fastest Qualcomm's chipset has ever been run at in a commercial product, which should result in incredible 2D and 3D performance, although if this is indeed the Galaxy S5 it contradicts earlier reports that it would use a 64-bit Exynos 6 CPU.
Interestingly, the benchmark diagnostics also reveal a 2,560x1440 resolution display, which would give the handset one of the highest pixels per inch (PPI) of any smartphone. LG was the first to announce a 5.5in, 2,560x1,440 resolution smartphone display a few months ago, and until today we'd heard nothing official from Samsung, apart from a proposed roadmap that would see 560ppi Super AMOLED smartphone screens introduced next year and 4K displays in 2015.
The handset was running the latest 4.4 KitKat version of Google's Android operating system - again contradicting reports that Samsung may be planning to make the switch to its own Tizen OS. Other specifications such as screen size are sadly not listed.
It's also possible that the benchmark results for the SM-G900S refer to a successor to the Galaxy Round curved smartphone, which uses the SM-G910S model name,
With the Galaxy S5 not scheduled to launch until at least February next year, we've got several months to wait to see how accurate these early reports are.
