We don't yet know precisely when the Samsung Galaxy S5 will begin retailing, nor how much it will retail for, but the Korean outfit is keen to remind us of its expansive feature set via a new promotional video. The Galaxy range is renowned for packing an unholy amount of useful software and hardware into one package, and yet again, those in search of an all-in-one handset have not been disappointed. The new trailer, which is almost four minutes long, takes us through some of the many new fitness features, as well as placing much emphasis on the device's photo and video-taking capabilities. Check out the embedded video below.
Samsung really wants you to own the Galaxy S5. Its latest and greatest was unveiled late on during the first day of last week's MWC, and if you weren't already enticed enough by the gold color option and in-built fingerprint sensor, then perhaps the bundle of goodies that the Korean outfit is throwing in with every purchase will tip the balance. With every purchase of the company's flagship, users can claim up to $575 worth of free services, ranging from a six-month Wall Street Journal subscription to 50GB worth of free Box.com cloud storage.

Samsung announced its new flagship device during this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona and will act as a direct replacement to the current fourth-generation model of the S series family of smartphones. Consumers looking to get in on the Galaxy S5 action early on will be pleased to know that a number of UK and European based online retailers have put up pre-order pages for the hardware, revealing the price of Samsung's latest gadget in the process.
So after all the talk, all the leaks and a healthy dose of speculation, it's finally been announced. The leaks might have left us with less of a surprise than Samsung would have liked, but the Galaxy S5 is now official, and everyone's talking about it.
Not to be upstaged by the big Samsung announcement at this year's MWC, Sony has also come through with its latest and greatest new smartphone – the Sony Xperia Z2. Another waterproof handset, it shares similar design traits to its predecessor, but in terms of both the hardware and software, the Japanese company looks to have been hard at work. I got a chance to spend a few minutes with the device in Barcelona, and as well as a hands-on video below, I'll be letting you know what I think of this most recent addition to the Xperia family, and moreover, whether it can serve as a genuine competitor to the Samsung Galaxy S5.
I’ve expressed my disappointment with the Galaxy S5 already - in all fairness, it’s nothing but a modest upgrade over last year’s Android flagship from Samsung, the Galaxy S4. However, it’s still become a coveted piece of technology, and we’re sure that the sales numbers for the new device will be impressive as ever.
The first rumored, then highly anticipated flagship of the year, the Samsung Galaxy S5 has finally been unveiled, and most disappointingly, has left most of the Internet (read: technology world) unimpressed. Irrespective of how the device has been perceived, what followed was pretty much exactly what we see after every flagship device sees the light of day - comparisons upon comparisons to decide which is the best gadget money can buy. And Galaxy S5 has been no different.
Samsung’s Galaxy S5 is one of the biggest smartphone releases of the year. It’s one of those devices which millions of Android users have been eagerly waiting for, and it well and truly builds upon the success of last year’s major release, the Galaxy S4. But is the Galaxy S5 the device you should buy this year? Is it a worthy upgrade over its predecessor, the Galaxy S4? Lets find out in our head-to-head specs comparison.
When the likes of Samsung announce a new top-of-the-line smartphone the world tends to sit up and take notice. With the Galaxy S5 being announced by that very same company earlier today at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress, it's fairly safe to say that it gets the attention of not just those that are likely to go out and buy one, but also of the companies that make handsets that compete directly against it.
