European Galaxy S5 LTE-A will not get QHD display

This might be a disappointment to some die-hard folks, but to people who recently got the Galaxy S5 this could mean a sigh of relief- According to a recent benchmark, when the European variation of the Galaxy S5 LTE-A makes its way to Europe (same probably goes for the rest of the world), it will not sport an improved QHD display.

After the Galaxy S5 LTE-A's initial release, when it was revealed to feature an improved QHD display paired with a Snapdragon 805... Actually, it didn't cause a fret to S5 owners, since it was alleged to be South Korea exclusive.

Now, according to SamMobile, not only will it make its way to Europe, but it will not feature the QHD display, instead settling for FHD, and so basically the only change will be the addition of a Snapdragon 805, which was proved not to be a big change. Anyways, the SD 805 is a necessity for LTE-A since SD 801 doesn't support Cat.6 LTE, which is basically a long name for LTE-A. 

More changes in specs are actually negative, and include a 15 MP camera (1 MP less than standard) apparently without support for 4K recording (this might change by the official announcement). Rest of the specs are standard, including 2 GB RAM, 2 MP front, and the phone will run the latest Android KitKat 4.4.4. Here is the full benchmark:



So, if you're lucky enough to live in a zone which even supports this new broadband, then unless it's the same price you shouldn't make an effort to get it. Stay tuned anyways for official release and pricing.
