Galaxy S5 metal frame leaks suggest sturdier smartphone, bigger screen

Samsung might finally add metal to the Galaxy S line 

 

The Samsung Galaxy S5 has been leaked so often and regularly at this point that we've already developed a pretty good idea of what it's going to look like on the outside.
Now new photos have surfaced purportedly showing what the next Galaxy is rocking on the inside.
The latest leaks comes by way of Nowhereelse.fr. The French tech site alleges the Galaxy S5 will come with a metal interior frame for some much needed rigidity after a line of Samsung phones classically known for their chintzy, all-plastic bodies.

Rockin' body

Based on the frame's measurements - 143.8mm (5.6 inches) tall and 72.2mm (2.8 inches) wide - the new Galaxy S5 could very well feature a larger screen than the Galaxy S4's 5-inch display.
Compared to the Galaxy S4's dimensions, 136.6 x 69.8mm (5.38 x 2.75 inches), the new metal frame is slightly longer. This could mean the Galaxy S5 will have a widescreen aspect ratio display.
The images of this completely straight metal frame don't match up with our renderings of a bending Galaxy S5, but it gels with our theory about it having metal accents.
