Samsung Galaxy S5 PreOrders Begin
If you want to be among the first to get a new Samsung Galaxy S5, the time to act is now. ATT announced that pre-orders for the flagship Android smartphone will begin in-store and online starting Friday, March 21. Unveiled just last month, the new 5.1" Galaxy S5 boasts 2560 x 1440 resolution, a fingerprint scanner, IP67 water resistance, a black-and-white ultralow power saving mode and improved camera features. The smartphone is available in four colors white, black, blue and gold. Like the competing Apple iPhone 5S, the Samsung Galaxy S5 will retail for 200 on-contract full retail is 649.99. ATT Next customers can get the device for 25 per month for 18 months, or for 32.50 per month for 12 months. ATT is offering a bonus 50 discount if you buy a new Galaxy Gear 2 299 or Gear 2 Neo 199 smartwatch at the same time you pick up a Galaxy 5. That said, I'm far more excited about Android Wear, Google's new Android-based smartwatch operating system, and the coming Moto 360 smartwatch that runs it. A release date for the Samsung Galaxy S5 has yet to be announced, though ATT says the phone will begin shipping in "early April." Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon will carry the phone as well.
