As the possible launch date of Galaxy S5 is approaching, more and more details about the flagship device are starting to leak out.

Moreover, all recent leaks confirm once again the possible specs of the new model.
With a high degree of accuracy, the Galaxy S5 will boast a display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. The fingerprint scanner on the back has been also confirmed by @evleaks. The famous insider having a good reputation regarding new models has provided a screenshot of a new Samsung application, designed especially for the upcoming flagship. As you can see on the picture below, there will an app called ‘FingerprintService.apk’.
Months ago there were rumors suggesting an iris scanner, but it seemed that Samsung were not ready to introduce the tech in 2014. Instead the company has focused on the much more developed fingerprint technology, which has been already confirmed several times. Another application found on the Samsung Galaxy S5 is named ‘3DtourViewer’ and though it is not important, the app reveals phone’s screen resolution – WQHD also known as QHD which translates into 2560 x 1440 pixels.
Though we found the resolution, the screen size is yet unknown. Previous leaks point to a screen around 5.2 inches across the diagonals. Despite the upgraded display, the Galaxy S5 won’t be much bigger than its predecessor as the new model will employ slimmer bezels.
