Samsung Galaxy S5 pre-orders start on March 28 in the UK
Samsung today announced that its brand new Galaxy S5 smartphone will be available to pre-order in the UK starting March 28 via “selected retailers, Samsung’s e-store and the Stratford Westfield Experience Store.” Pricing details have not been revealed. Samsung also re-confirmed that the handset will be launched globally on April 11 - which means that British customers have two weeks ahead to pre-order it.
At the moment, there’s no info on when Galaxy S5 pre-orders will officially start in other markets. But it’s probably safe to assume that this will happen pretty soon.
Announced at MWC 2014 last month, the Galaxy S5 introduced two features that until now haven’t been available on a Samsung smartphone: Fingerprint Scanner and a heart rate monitor. It also improves on some of the specs of last year’s Galaxy S4, coming with a quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor and a 16MP rear camera. The new handset sports a 5.1-inch display with 1080 x 1920 pixels, and runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat. You should check out our Samsung Galaxy S5 hands-on for more details.
