Galaxy S5 gets 2560x1440 display and latest Snapdragon chip, but only in South Korea

From PC World: Samsung Electronics has launched a new version of the Galaxy S5 with an upgraded screen and faster processor, but for now it is only available in South Korea.

The launch of Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone back in February was preceded by an avalanche of rumors and speculation about the device’s expected specification, including a Quad HD (QHD) screen with a resolution of 2560 by 1440 pixels, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor.

All that can came true on Wednesday when Samsung introduced the Galaxy S5 LTE-A. The smartphone’s QHD screen is based on the company’s Super AMOLED technology and measures 5.1 inches, for a density of 577 pixels per inch. In comparison, the original version of the Galaxy S5 that went on sale in April has the same screen size but with a resolution of only 1920 by 1080 pixels, which equals 432 pixels per inch.

The new version still has the same dimpled back made of plastic.
