Samsung Galaxy S5 & HTC Two Release Dates Suggest Clashing Announcements

The HTC Two and Samsung Galaxy S5 are two devices that are very much talked about and anticipated. Sources have said that the two handsets may arrive in April and February of this year. There has been a rumour going around February thanks to the Mobile World Congress being held that month in Barcelona. Recently a judge in an infringement case between Nokia and the HTC let it slip that the device from HTC would arrive in February. Last year Samsung launched the Samsung Galaxy S4 at the Mobile World Congress.

A judge was said to have given away the HTC One M8 release date when he said “HTC paints a dramatic picture of what will happen am bound to say I am somewhat sceptical about this evidence given that HTC will shortly be launching a new flagship phone which cannot be assumed to infringe and therefore be caught by the injunction. Nevertheless, I accept that there is a period between now and February or March 2014 when HTC is vulnerable.”

The court case could see a ban on the sale of the HTC One Mini in the UK and the HTC 8X. The injunction has been put on hold for now.

The CES and MWC are the biggest trade shows. Samsung chose the MWC 2013 to reveal the Samsung Galaxy S4, while the CES 2013 was their choice for the arrival of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3. This suggests that Samsung may reveal the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and Samsung Galaxy S5 at the events this year.

Another report suggests that maybe this may change and the Samsung Galaxy S5 could make its way out in April, with Samsung launching the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the new Galaxy F series at an earlier date. Rumours have suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S5 could have a camera of 16MP, a 64-bit processor, metal body and a curved display of 2k resolution. Nothing has been said about what to expect from the HTC One M8.
