Premium Galaxy S5 might sport a mix of stainless steel and plastic not a full metal body

Numerous rumors have suggested that there’s a high chance the Galaxy S5 will come in a standard and a premium variant, with the latter sporting a metal body. However, a report from the Korean media says that the premium Galaxy S5 won’t feature a full metal construction; instead, the device will employ a stainless steel battery cover while having its other components made out of plastic, a move made to reduce the weight of the smartphone.

There’s no telling how much truth there is behind the new report, but it might come as disappointment to those who were expecting a fully metal Galaxy S5. But then again, if the stainless steel and plastic combo means we’ll be able to access the battery, an ability competing “metallic” phones lack, then it’s a decision we’ll certainly not be complaining against.

The Nokia Lumia 1520 is the companys high-end "phablet" Windows Phone. The 16GB variant is currently available at numerous outlets within the US, as well as AT&T for direct purchasing. The mobile operator has yet to launch the 32GB version of the Windows Phone, but this could well change soon as weve learnt that January 10th is believed to be the day when AT&T opens up orders.

Rum:9

Its been known for a while that the 32GB version of the Lumia 1520 would be heading to AT&T in due course, and were sure consumers who are after more internal storage than whats currently available will be pleased to see such a launch. Its also worth noting that both models come with microSD support, allowing you to add a further 64GB to the table.

Weve attempted to reach out to AT&T for further confirmation and will update you accordingly. Are you waiting for a Lumia 1520 with more capacity? Sound off your thoughts in the comments.

Update: We understand that the Lumia 1520 will be DF (Direct Fulfillment) only, meaning you will have to go online to order and not via stores.
