Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A to Finally Hit Europe this Month
![Samsung Galaxy S5 Plus Touted as ‘World's fastest Android smartphone’ Reaches Europe: Available for Online Purchase](https://d.ibtimes.co.uk/en/full/1391863/samsung-galaxy-s5-plus-touted-worlds-fastest-android-smartphone-reaches-europe-available.jpg?w=736&f=3a5c4ef80666323a923d5f7eb59793da)
Samsung, which recently unveiled the metal Galaxy Alpha that is expected to reach Europe soon, is soon bringing another premium Galaxy smartphone to the country. The Galaxy S5 LTE-Advanced is expected to be 4G-enabled to sync with major 4G providers, thus adding to the list of 4G smartphones in Europe.
According to a TechTastic report, the Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A, with model number SM G901F, will be driven by a 2.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. We expect this processor to be high-end (for Europe, considering the device's 4GLTE-support), like the quad-core Snapdragon Qualcomm 805 processor. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 drives Samsung's Galaxy S5 in other parts of the world.
The European variant of Galaxy S5 is also expected to incorporate a full HD display, instead of the qHD screen that the South-Korean Galaxy S5 variant houses.
Along with the above hardware aspects, the TechTastic report also hints at the European Galaxy S5 variant featuring a 2GB RAM, which is again a diversion from the 3GB RAM that the South-Korean variant comes built-in with.
A leaked user manual - supposedly of the European Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A - obtained by TechTastic, clearly points to the LTE-Advanced feature being built-in to the device.

Other tech-specs of Samsung's European Galaxy S5 LTE-A are said to be identical to that of the standard Galaxy S5, however a difference in pricing is expected; the exact details of which are yet to surface at this point.
The latest rumours also say that the Galaxy S5 LTE-Advanced variant will hit shelves of retail stores in select European countries by the end of August.
