But will this technology be ready in time for the Galaxy S5? Maybe it will, maybe it won't, but according to a report by DigiTimes, the Galaxy S5 won't have a metal body at all. Taiwan-based chassis makers have commented that rumors of Samsung adopting metal-alloy chassis for the Galaxy S5 and starting production on them are unlikely to be true, as no company has yet begun to mass produce these chassis. Furthermore, DigiTimes‘ sources believe Samsung doesn't really need metal chassis as they've already become mighty successful selling plastic-based devices (a sentiment that many will agree with, because frankly, most of those millions of folks buying Samsung devices aren't exactly complaining about the lack of a more premium feel).
Basically, at this point it is totally uncertain whether we'll actually see the Galaxy S5 have a metallic body. Most rumors suggest we will, but considering every Galaxy S flagship is preceded by rumor-mongering of all sorts, it's best not to take any of those seriously, especially since Samsung does a nifty job of hiding all details on its flagships' design.
