There hasn't been much posted on this phone. I found a bunch of "blogs" of people just basically spouting off nonsense but Techradar did post something that was interesting to read.

Cliffs:
5.9" screen - I don't really believe this one at all, I don't think Samsung wants to increase their phone size much if any at all.
QHD resolution - Sure, seeing as LG does it, I doubt Samsung would not follow suit as well.
64 bit - I'd heard a while ago that Samsung is working on a ARMv8/A57 Exynos, I'd be interested to see how well this goes seeing as Samsung has worked out all the major bugs plaguing BIG.little. Of course this means here in the US we still get stuck with Qualcomm's SoC, so more then likely 805. This is my biggest worry, if Samsung develops for the 64bit side, they will most likely have to have another set for the 32bit counterpart here in the US.
4gb LPDDR3 - Wouldn't expect 4gb unless its a 64bit cpu, so US variants might be stuck with 3gb.
20mp Sensor - Nothing to report on type of flash, sensor type, auto focus "lazers" or if they farmed this one out. I bet they are probably making their own again, like they've been doing for some time. Unless they are planning on doing some impressive post processing with the 20mp I don't see why they would need to go past 13mp.
My bet is more applications using the Pen, continued use of USB3.0, IR blaster, Finger swipe thingy, eye tracking sensor.
What I would love is if they opened this device to be able to get WP8 on it as well. Choice of OS would be freaking awesome.
