Samsung to launch Galaxy S5 with iris scanner by April
Just like its Galaxy S4 predecessor, Samsung is once again targeting March for the official announcement and April for the release date for the Galaxy S5. This means the manufacturer wont be bringing any flagship phones on the upcoming MWC in Barcelona next month.
Since the Galaxy S5 is going against Apples latest iPhone 5s and in the meantime it should be prepared for the upcoming iPhone 6, Samsung is considering a fingerprint sensor and an iris scanner options. Thus it will not only catchup with the competition but will go way ahead of it. According to Mrs. Lee, the company is exploring its options, so this is no guarantee the iris recognition technology will make it to the Galaxy S5 in time for release.
A brand new design is going to be one of the Galaxy S5 key features. Samsung has acknowledged the users werent impress at all with the Galaxy S4 reused design and thats why the company has gone "back to the basics" and created its new flagship from scratch. Here is what Lee Young Hee is saying about the new design:
"When we moved to S4 from S3, it’s partly true that consumers couldn’t really feel much difference between the two products from the physical perspective, so the market reaction wasnt as big. For the S5, we will go back to the basics. Mostly, its about the display and the feel of the cover."
Meanwhile gossip also has it that Samsung is working on a three-sided display for the Galaxy Note 3 successor. The innovative screen will let you see various notifications on the sides of your phone. Samsung has already demonstrated similar technology before, so it wont be a surprise if we actually see it implemented in the next flagship phablet. All this new technology also has a downside however and in this case it is the higher cost. Mrs. Lee confirms: "We are targeting consumers who want more professional use and tend to be willing to pay more for handsets".
Finally, Mrs. Lee unveiled Samsung is working on a second generation wearable device to replace the Galaxy Gear. It will add more functionality (especially health-related) and reduce the bulkiness. It will premiere with the Galaxy S5.
So, with most of these coming straight from Samsung, its almost certain to come out true. So if you ever worried that Samsungs well of innovation is starting to dry up, you dont have to anymore.

‘Samsung testing Android 4 4 3 for Samsung Galaxy S5 all’ – Android World
According to a source from the usually well-informed SamMobile Samsung is currently already working on testing the still unannounced Android 4.4.3. An update to the new version of KitKat appears less long after the official announcement to come.
Android 4.4.3
Google has not officially confirmed the existence of Android 4.4.3, but by putting a list of changes online by mistake, the company has already an indirect confirmation given. Android 4.4.3 is not a major update compared to Android 4.4.2, the version of Android KitKat now running on Samsung Galaxy S5. What Samsung itself so far will add to the new version of KitKat is not yet known.
SamMobile has its source informed that Samsung is currently testing an update to Android 4.4.3 for the Samsung Galaxy Samsung Galaxy S4 and S5 LTE-A, a variant that is not available in the Netherlands and Belgium. Currently the update is still in the ‘integration’ phase, which means that the proprietary software and interface are integrated in Android 4.4.3. It is expected that Samsung will update the display after Google has begun updating its Nexus devices to 4.4.3. Pass freely For half year Google gives certain partners a preview of Android versions that will follow. The information, called Platform Development Kit, can be used to start the inte rendered own software in a new version Android, so that updates can follow an announcement faster. This should also ensure that new devices are equipped with the latest Android version that is available at that time. 
KitKat for other devices
In the table below you can see that the update process of a number of other Samsung devices to Android 4.4.2 is on schedule. The table is again confirmed that the update to Android 4.4 (KitKat) for the Galaxy S III ‘unstable’ and an update for this phone to 4.4.2 (or 4.4.3) thus seems unlikely.
Availability
When can we expect a possible update to Android 4.4.3 is not yet certain. It seems likely that the update for the Samsung Galaxy S5 will follow in July. For other devices, it is difficult to predict if and when an update will follow. Samsung has the information in the data received by SamMobile not confirmed, but in the past proved to be the source of that website very reliable
