Samsung unveiled its next big thing, the Samsung Galaxy S5, at the Mobile World Congress earlier this week. The handset is expected to hit retail globally in April on several carriers and retailers.
If you’re in the US tied to Virgin or Boost Mobile, you be glad to find out the handset is coming over to the prepaid carriers in the US as well.
There’s no word about the pricing of the handsets, but rumors suggest it will be priced competitively, and may as well be lower than the Samsung Galaxy S4 at launch. But, that may not be the case as several UK retailers have revealed the price of the handset which is now available for pre-orders. And trust me, it’s not at all competitive, and costs almost $1000 for the SIM-Free version of the handset.
Well, we don’t know, but Samsung may change its mind once the handsets hits retail in other parts of the world, with better carrier subsidies. For that, we have to wait until April.
To recall, Samsung Galaxy S5 comes with a 5-inch 1080p display, a 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 chipset, 2GB of RAM, 16/32GB storage with a microSD card slot, 16MP camera, 2,800 mAh battery, fingerprint sensor in the home button, heart rate sensor and runs Android 4.4 KitKat with an improved TouchWiz Ui.
