GoPro Hero 5 release date and specs review: New device could be rolled out in October?

There have been a lot of speculations regarding the much-awaited release of GoPro Hero 5. Recent rumors suggest that the company might delay the roll out because their main focus as of the moment is the release of their Karma Drone. However, a new speculation emerged that the latest line of the company's action camera series will finally come out in October.

There is still no official announcement from GoPro but many are saying that they are going to release two major devices this year—one is the Karma Drone and the other is GoPro Hero 5.

The rumored release of GoPro Hero 5 has started late last year and it garnered much attention this year. While fans are excited about this new rumor, the information should be taken with a grain of salt. The company might also decide not to release the Hero 5 this year, for the sole reason that the Karma Drone is the company's first ever drone device. They may want to spend the whole year focusing on the release and marketing of the new flying device.

Meanwhile, fans expect more advanced features of the upcoming Hero 5. The new action camera is said to have an improved connectivity and portability for smooth usage. Reports suggest that the new device will be much smaller than its predecessor. It is also expected to be 40 percent lighter than the Hero 4, with much improvement in Bluetooth functionality. The Hero 5 will also be compatible with the new Karma Drone once it is available in the market.

There are also rumors suggesting that video quality will be much better with this new GoPro Hero 5 because of its 8K video technology. It is also said to carry a dual lens snapper for improved photo output. These new features could be possible because the GoPro Hero 5 is said to come out with a powerful chipset.

As of now, all fans can do is wait until the company makes an official announcement with regard to the new device.
