Samsung are about to launch the Galaxy S5 Plus. This will support LTE Advanced giving up to 300Mbps and will include a higher performing CPU the Snapdragon 805.

Immediate benefits of the Snapdragon 805 over the 801 are vastly improved memory bandwidth (roughly a 70% increase) which cuts down on multitasking bottlenecks and the upgraded GPU (Adreno 420 vs Adreno 330) is both faster and more power efficient. A new processor (Krait 450 vs Krait 400) also adds more zip, but isn’t the main talking point.

Interestingly Samsung has slightly downclocked the 805 chipset in the S5 Plus compared to the Note 4 and contentious Nexus 6 and its four cores each run at 2.5GHz rather than 2.7GHz. This is likely due to the smaller form factor and better thermal envelope the larger phablets provide to run chips faster and hotter.
The 5 Plus should be available in Europe.

There is some speculation that they will discontinue the S5 but personally I doubt it. Samsung have loads of different phones on sale at the same time.

Sounds like a rebox of the "S5 Broadband-LTE" that was only sold in Korea.
