Bob Freking proposes an interesting question: what do you want to see from the Galaxy S5 in 2014? He claims that Samsung missed out on some opportunities regarding the Galaxy S4 and thanks you all for the praises brought to his Galaxy S4 concept.
He then goes ahead and posts the teaser picture here and the video below. What does this mean for you? Well, it’s simple… just like you did before, it’s YOU who will decide the specs, features and design of the Galaxy S5 and Bob Freking will make them into a real device. Aluminum for the case would be a nice option and I think that the HTC One approach to the camera (not all about the megapixels) is interesting.
Optical stabilization is a must for the camera and so is great low light behaviour. Then comes the size… I frankly hope that 5 inches is the maximum they’ll go with and also Full HD is enough resolution for everyone. The case should be around 6 or 7 mm thick and I frankly want the Galaxy S II look back, so totally rectangular and maybe rounded at the corners a bit. A great front camera is a must in this age and 2 GB of RAM and a quad core Snapdragon 800 CPU should be enough. What are your suggestions for the Samsung Galaxy S5 concept that Bob Freking will create?

I have to say that although I have seen a ton of concept phones, it never crossed my mind that we could have shoulder buttons on the upper corners like on a joystick or PSP/PS Vita. This great idea comes from Benjamin Coughlin and it’s applied to a BlackBerry concept phone.
The result is the BlackBerry TDH, that just like iPhone 6 concept from here is shaped like an hourglass, being less wide in the middle and wider at the top and bottom. TDH stands for Tactile Direct Hardware here and I can see a comparison with the PlayStation joystick in that matter. From what I can see, we also get shoulder buttons at the top and a touch strip on the back of the device, like on the PS Vita.
I must mention that I may just be wrong the touch strip could only be present on the side. I could serve as sort of a touch volume button. I can also see that the handset is slightly curved to the front. The UI on board points toward BlackBerry 10 OS, maybe in an evolved version…
