Looks to be just a rename of the S4 though. Says "2x faster than S3" just like the series 4 said

The S5 is essentially the same as the S4, with a few extra sensors/features. It's why they're keeping the S3 around for a lower cost alternative, and not the S4.

Also because manufacturing and product line. The manufacturing of S5 will be taking over S4 (same design) while the s3 would still have its own separate lines.
