South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics has been long rumored to plan the release of an upgraded flavor of the Galaxy S5 flagship device, and it seems that it might not be too long before the phone goes official.

The smartphone has been spotted online with model number SM-G906 attached to it and has been said to be the premium variant of Galaxy S5, though it might land on shelves only as an upgraded version of the phone.

Samsung has already come up with support page placeholders for two iterations of the phone, namely the SM-G906L for LG U+ and SM-G906K for KT, which suggests that both devices might land on shelves sooner rather than later. SK Telecom should also receive it.

For those out of the loop, we should note that the mobile device is expected to be released with a Snapdragon 805 processor inside, 3GB of RAM, and Adreno 420 graphics, though it should sport the same full HD touchscreen as the original Galaxy S5 did.

As SammyToday notes, the Samsung SM-G906 has already received approvals from various certification agencies out there. However, an official confirmation on it has yet to be provided.

However, considering the fact that Samsung has already released upgraded variants of its flagship devices in South Korea (exclusive to this country), it’s clear that the Galaxy S5 will suffer a similar fate. Stay tuned for more on the matter.
