Speculation that the highly-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S5 smartphone is set to be unveiled at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona next week has intensified after O2 Germany published a webpage inviting customers to register for updates, with the promise of more information by the end of February.
The page also shows an unspecified handset immersed in water, hinting as possible waterproof capabilities, but it is worth noting that O2 has used similar underwater imagery in many of its marketing materials, playing on the operator’s name, which is the chemical symbol for oxygen (Oxygen molecules only ever travel in pairs).
There has been plenty of discussion and speculation regarding the Galaxy S5’s feature set, with recent reports suggesting that it could feature eye recognition technology, be housed in a metal casing and run Android 4.4 Kit Kat.
While the launch of the Galaxy S5 would be the most high profile launch of MWC, Samsung is also apparently readying the Tizen-powered ZEQ900 for the event, as it seeks to reduce its dependency on Android.
Samsung is also likely to be keen to show off its business offerings, given that it sees the enterprise market as a way of potentially offsetting declining growth in the smartphone market. The company told TechWeekEurope last year that it plans to make a major push into enterprise mobility services in 2014,with products like the Samsung Knox mobile device management (MDM) platform, which was shown at MWC last year.
