Samsung just launched the Galaxy S5 Plus – the Snapdragon 805 Version of Samsung’s 2014 Flagship. For Samsung this is a small late year upgrade, similiar what we saw last year with the Galaxy S4+LTE. In addition to the mightier Snapdragon 805, the Galaxy S5 Plus also gets a faster LTE Connection.

At the first launch the Galaxy S5 sported the Snapdragon 801 CPU clocked at 2.5 Ghz. The new Snapdragon 805 is also clocked at 2.5 Ghz, but comes with new Core Krait 450. The new Snapdragon 805 also comes with new GPU, the extremely powerful Adreno 420.

The other difference on the Galaxy S5 Plus is LTE Cat. 6, upgraded from Cat.4 on the Galaxy S5. The main difference is 300Mbps seconds downloads versus 150Mbps downloads, the uplink speed stays the same at 50Mbps. The new Snapdragon 805 for the S5 Plus is the same as on the Galaxy Note 4.

The Galaxy S5 Plus is otherwise the same as the version that launched earlier this year. The S5 plus comes with 5.1 inch Full HD screen, 2GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. There is a 16MP Camera (no OIS) that can take 2160p video and you get the same 2800mAH battery. The new Snapdragon 805 should be more power efficient though and give longer battery life.

At the moment the phone is only available in Europe, Samsung doesnt even have a Press Release out.
