Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime leaked in photos and video?

Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime was leaked in a video and new questions arise. Apart from the video, some photos were leaked as well, and the details in each kind of contradict one another. Which one is right and what can we expect from the premium Galaxy S5 version?

The rear panel seems to be made of aluminum and it has metal sides (possibly?). The phone has an external waterproof seal and its battery panel can be removed. The phone is much thicker but that doesn’t mean it is much heavier. Some say it is actually Samsung S5 Active and not Prime.

Its screen is sharper than Full HD 1080p, and it pretty much looks like a standard model with a metallic case rather than the usual plastic one. Supposed specs are a 5.2” screen at 2560 x 1440p resolution with a Snapdragon 805 CPU and 3 GB of RAM.

Galaxy S5 Prime is supposed to launch next month. Do you believe this really is the premium S5 version?
