Samsung Galaxy S5 is to make its debut at the unPacked event on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

Recent leaks have pointed that the Galaxy S5 will not be a major departure from company's Galaxy S family design. Earlier on Monday captured the phone in all its glory and revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S5 indeed comes with a fingerprint scanner that can register up to three different fingerprints at a time. The leaked image further shows the Samsung Galaxy S5 including a physical button on the front panel.

We have already heard a lot about Samsung Galaxy S5's innards. Previously expected specifications of the Galaxy S5 include a 5.24-inch AMOLED screen with a QHD (1440x2560 pixels) resolution; two storage variants - 32GB/64GB; two processor variants - Exynos 6 and Snapdragon 805; and a 3200mAh battery. The optics long-rumoured for the Galaxy S5 include a 16-megapixel rear camera and a 3.2-megapixel front-facing shooter.

Samsung shared an unPacked trailer that all but confirmed that the Galaxy S5 will be a waterproof device. Also, a teaser of the Galaxy S5 on the German website of UK-headquartered mobile carrier, O2 showed a smartphone making a splash in the water.

Reports have suggested that Samsung might unveil its 2014 flagship smartphone in two variants.

Earlier rumours suggested that one of the highlights of the Samsung Galaxy S5 would be a the revamped software UI that represents a complete overhaul of Samsung's TouchWhiz UI, but the leak earlier on Monday indicated otherwise.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 is likely to be accompanied by a new tablet series, believed to be dubbed Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.
