Despite the fact that the predecessor(s) to the upcoming Galaxy S smartphone have been the best from the Korean tech giant in recent years, the company is looking for a hit, amidst slowing sales and economic crunch in China, its biggest market.

Not much is known about the upcoming device – even the name isn’t confirmed yet, but rumors point towards a touchscreen that can detect strong and faint touches similar to what Apple has done with the iPhone 6s.

The Wall Street Journal also points towards fast charging – something we can all do with, especially in this part of the world.
