Leaked images show an interface that blends the look of Windows and Google Now and looks like what we saw from Samsung at CES. January 21, 2014 1:11 PM PST This could be the home screen for the Galaxy S5. (Credit: Twitter/evleaks) Samsung wants ours to be a world full of widgets, if what we saw at the 2014 International Consumer Electronics Show and the latest leaks pointing towards what could be the home screen of the upcoming Galaxy S5 are any indication. Prolific leaker Evleaks posted the below images on Twitter of an apparent new home screen design that borrows from both the tiled look of Windows 8 and the constantly updating "cards" of relevant data that Google Now users will find familiar. Evleaks has a pretty good track record, but these should still be viewed with skepticism. The columns of image-heavy cards also bare a resemblance to the new "Magazine UX" that Samsung introduced on its new Galaxy Note Pro and Galaxy Tab Pro enterprise-level tablets at CES. The new tablets feature a similar look with multiple widgets on the home screen and four-way multitasking. The Galaxy S5 is expected to be revealed in the next few months, and is rumored to come in an optional metal body, and with next generation specs and perhaps a couple of new features that could blend cool with creepy in that inimitable Samsung style. We'll see if we get some wacky widgets to match.
