There's now a lot of leaked information on the S5 II. It looks like it's the same body size and shape as the current S5 with the same sensor, but now with PDAF, an improved EVF, and a few other tweaks. In a strange twist, it's now available in two forms - the S5II and the S5IIx. The X variant adds some video stuff that I don't understand (IP Streaming and some Apple ProRes format) but removes a few photo things like 6K photo and live composite. Seems they've added a fan too, but the vents are hidden under the "pentaprism".
Overall, I think it's a solid upgrade, but the only thing that would tempt me is the new EVF. The current AF is perfectly fine for what I use the camera for.
There's also a new lens - 14-28 f4-5.6, which I think I will pre-order - it suits my needs well.
Specs are:
