Samsung is reportedly said to unveil its latest Galaxy S5 smartphone towards the end of February during the company's Unpacked event.

The smartphone, touted to include a hi-tech 'iris scanner', on the lines of Apple's fingerprint scanner in its iPhone 5S, is expected to be launched at the event scheduled at the Mobile World Congress show on February 24th in Barcelona.

Latest speculations have pointed that the Galaxy S5 smartphone would not include either of the iris scanner or a quad-HD display, The Verge reports.

According to the report, the latest smartphone would include modest changes like a better camera, a better processor, and some alterations to its design, along with a new version of Samsung's Knox security software.

Samsung's rumoured wearable computing Galaxy smartwatch is also expected to make its way at the Unpacked event.
