Galaxy S5 Neo will user a newer Exynos CPU and an upgraded front-facing camera

More details have come to light about Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S5 Neo. Samsung’s Neo devices typically offer a similar package to an older flagship device, albeit with slightly downgraded internals and a budget-friendly price tag. The GS5 Neo will be no exception, although it does look like it’s going to be shipping with a brand new Exynos processor.

The Exynos 7580 CPU is a 64-bit processor with 8 cores, clocked at 1.6 GHz. It’s slower than the beefy Snapdragon 801 (or Exynos 5422, depending on your region) that was found in the regular Galaxy S 5, but it should still offer pretty decent performance, especially for the price.

Other than the processor, everything else about the device will be nearly identical to the regular Galaxy S 5. The dimensions are the same, so GS5 cases should fit the S5 Neo, and you’ll also find a 1080p screen, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal storage, and a 16 megapixel rear camera. As a bonus, the front-facing camera does appear to be getting a spec bump up to 5 megapixels, which is closer to what we’re seeing on the Galaxy S6.

Samsung is expected to announce a single SIM and dual SIM variant of this phone, which is pretty typical. We should hear an official announcement in the next few months.
