there is no such thing ," during an interview with Korean publications. He cushioned the blow with an info on the of course, in the fall , [there will be] a new model Galaxy Note. This will come out ". Now, Samsung's boss, J.K. Shin, has allegedly denied the existence of a "premium" S5, saying that "," during an interview with Korean publications. He cushioned the blow with an info on the Note 4 , though, reminding us that ", [there will be]".





Apparently, J.K. Shin didn't deny the work on a more upscale smartphone series specifically, but rather just advised that a more decked-out version of the Galaxy S5, branded "Premium," isn't happening. That's not to say that the eventual series wouldn't have its own flagship, under a completely different naming scheme.

In fact, Kwon Oh-hyun, Samsung Electronics’ VP, confirmed at the annual shareholder meeting that the company will be maintaining growth “ in key businesses, such as mobile phones, TVs and memory chips, by rolling out premium lineups .” Yesterday Samsung unveiled a luxury line of kitchen appliances (read even more expensive refrigerators), saying that it plans to become number one in this segment within a year, adding more water to the premium device series rumor mill.





Samsung's upscale smartphone portfolio was all a speculation at this point anyway, and, since the latest rumor pegged the first representative for May release , we should know pretty soon if the luxury F series, or whatever it gets titled, is happening at all.





Oh, no, the sky is falling, and the Galaxy S5 Premium isn't happening! We've been hearing for ages about a supposed "luxury" F series phones , coming from Samsung, with top-shelf specs, and premium metallic design , at the respective higher price. Its flagship was always assumed to be a stepped-up S5, with upgrades like a QHD display , and an OIS camera , for instance.
