Samsung Gulf Electronics will be launching its Galaxy S5 smartphone in the UAE on Wednesday (April 2) even as rumours about the bigger (and with better resolution) iPhone 6 are now getting red-hot.
With Samsung set to launch its new Galaxy S5 in the UAE in a day, and the HTC One (M8) also making itself available on the same day, those in the market for a new smartphone have a tough call on their hand in terms of whether one should wait for the upcoming iPhone 6 or go for one of the devices that are already (almost) available in the country?
Simultaneously, however, rumours about the next-gen iPhone’s launch are gaining traction, seeding doubts in the minds of those willing to shell out a few thousand dirhams for their new handy candy. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) will be unveiling a bigger and higher resolution flagship iPhone device, the iPhone 6, in September this year, according to the Nikkei Business Daily.
According to the report, the upcoming iPhone 6 will come in two versions with a 4.7- or 5.5-inch screen (iPhone currently has a 4-inch display).
The Cupertino-based Apple is reportedly ordering its higher-resolution liquid crystal display screens from Japanese electronics giant Sharp, Japan Display and South Korea’s LG Display, the report noted. Apple released the iPhone 5 in September 2012 and the iPhone 5s and the iPhone 5c last year.
