Samsung replaces its mobile design chief


It might have been defiantly plastic, but the Galaxy S5's lukewarm critical reception has apparently stimulated change at the higher levels of Samsung. Chang Dong-hoon, formerly Head of Mobile Design, tendered his resignation last week, and will be replaced by his VP, Lee Min-hyouk. According to Reuters, Lee was heavily involved in designing the Galaxy smartphone series. It's speculation as to how this will affect Samsung's future smart devices: judging on past form, we are likely to see the Note 3's successor this summer. And what about those rumors of a premium-made Galaxy S5? And we don't simply mean a coating of Swarovski.
