Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime and Google Play edition get Bluetooth certified
Samsung can deny rumors of a higher-end Samsung Galaxy S5 all they want, but that hasn’t stopped leaks of the device from springing up all around the internets. This time, we have something a little more official and comes by way of the Bluetooth SIG. Turns out both the alleged Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime (SM-G906L) and the Samsung Galaxy S5 Google Play edition (SM-G900FG) has recently received their Bluetooth certification, the usual sign of an impending release.
Other than model numbers, the Bluetooth documentation doesn’t reveal much. While we already know exactly what the Google Play edition S5 will offer — a mostly stock Android experience using Samsung’s hardware — the S5 Prime is still a bit of a mystery. According to rumors, the Prime will feature a QHD 2K display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, and support LTE-A. Some believe this might be an exclusive model to South Korea where competition between Samsung and LG is fierce.
Guess all we can do now is wait for something more official, or more leaks. In the meantime, Samsung is hosting a press event on June 12th to talk about their new SAMOLED tablet line. I know I wasn’t too enthusiastic about the TouchWiz’d version of the Galaxy S5 for reasons, but my money is currently on that Google Play edition that already sorta popped up in the Play Store a few weeks back. We’ll be keeping an eye out.

Full Google IO 2014 schedule now available
Headed to Google’s big developer show this summer? You may want to start planning out all your sessions, keynotes and meeting hours ahead of time. Thankfully Google has made all of that possible by releasing the full schedule for all to see.
All of us will obviously be interested in the big day one keynote that should bring some exciting news regarding Android, Chrome OS, and anything else Google feels like talking about that day. Those in attendance will especially be excited to attend that keynote because they’ll likely be treated to some awesome freebies — at least a new device, if not more.
We’re expecting Google to announce a new Nexus Tablet, which could be an 8-inch option manufactured by HTC. We could also be in-store for the renaissance of Google TV, which is rumored to be reintroduced as Android TV.
All of it takes place starting June 25th in San Francisco, so be sure to bring a strong seat belt for what should be a very exhilarating ride. Peep the full schedule at the link ahead.
