Samsung will be releasing a metal smartphone alongside the Galaxy S5

While the Galaxy S5 will feature Samsung’s trademark plastic casing, the Galaxy F, which be released alongside the S5, will feature  a premium aluminum build. The Galaxy F will be the first flagship smartphone that the South Korean company has released that will have a metal casing.

We feel pretty confident that Samsung’s Galaxy S5 will be a killer smartphone but one question remains: Will Samsung finally follow in the footsteps of the iPhone 5s and the HTC One and use a premium aluminum build or will it stick with its tried-and-true plastic formula? The latest gossip from Korea’s ETNews suggests that Samsung may release two flagship smartphones at the same time next year: The Galaxy S5, which will have Samsung’s trademark plastic casing, and the Galaxy F, which will be the first flagship Samsung smartphone to have a metal casing.
