Olleh is offering South Koreans with Special Edition Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE A

The South Korean multinational consumer electronics manufacturer for smartphones and tablets had announced their years flagship, Galaxy S5, back in February at the Mobile World Congress trade exhibition, in Barcelona, Spain.

While the handset is now available internationally, the Korean firm have decided to refresh their S-series with a more premium and new device that will be exclusively sold to the native South Korean consumers. In this regard, the company went officially announcing the new Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A for their home land, just a week back. And now, according to an Italian media, their new deluxe smartphone is getting a brand new Special Edition, again for the countryside customers only (most probably) as it will be marketed by KT Corporation, formerly also known as Korea Telecom with the exclusive "Olleh" branding on the redesigned back cover of the smartphone.

So, whats really making this a standalone? When you buy a new Special Edition Samsung Galaxy S5 LTE-A, you will be getting a smartphone with completely modernized back cover, where now the company gives it an elegant looking diamond-like texture, unlike the perforated leather pattern from the current models, which will be available in three different color options from Black, White to Silver, with other details and trims in a classy looking, Gold shade. Other than the exterior changes and detailing, the smartphone will remain the same with top-end internals including, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, 5.08-inches Super AMOLED WQHD screen of 2560 x 1440 resolution display, 16 and 32 gigabytes of internal storage, coupled by 3 GB of RAM, 16 MP camera with OIS, LTE-Advanced radios and running Android 4.4 KitKat. We dont hear any words on the availability and the pricing details.
