While GoPro has remained tight lipped about the release date, specs and price details of its highly anticipated GoPro Hero 5 action camera, recent rumors suggest the release could happen before the end of 2016.
According to Engadget, the GoPro Hero 5 action camera will boast a host of impressive specs and features including a new built-in GPS feature. It is expected that the GPS feature will help users keep a track of the locations where videos and photos will be captured. An FCC filing obtained by the publication suggests that the next gen GoPro camera will be thinner and lighter appearance as compared to its predecessor GoPro Hero 4. The filing also stated the GoPro Hero5 will equip a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy and will also operate with 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands.
An alleged leaked video of the GoPro Hero 5 posted by Reddit user named Konrad Iturbe claims that the upcoming action camera might feature a new user interface that would make navigation through the camera's modes and settings easier, reported PCAdvisor. The video shows a touchscreen interface with a pull-down 'control centre' screen. There's GoPro Sniper as one option to connect to the camera. Unfortunately, the video did not elaborate on how the new tool will work.
Among other specs, the GoPro Hero 5 action camera is expected to feature a massive 2,800 mAh battery pack, 4K video capability that could record 60 frames per second and waterproof capacity for a depth of up to 60m. The action camera is reported to be available in two processors - the Snapdragon 800 chip from Qualcomm and the A10 chipset. The most talked about feature is the support for an 8K Full Ultra HD resolution. In terms of price, the GoPro Hero 5 is rumored to cost anything from $400 to $550.
As far as GoPro Hero 5 release date is concerned, the action camera is expected to arrive in the market around October. Readers are advised to take the information with a big grain of salt as nothing yet has been confirmed by the makers.
