The Samsung Galaxy S5 release date has been confirmed, with the Korean manufacturer’s latest flagship phone to hit retailers on April 11.
Meaning there is a little under seven weeks to wait to get your hands on the Samsung Galaxy S4 follow-on, the Samsung Galaxy S5 release date will be held alongside the launch of the newly confirmed Samsung Gear 2 and Samsung Gear Fit.
“On April 11 we will launch these great products in almost 150 countries,” Jean-Daniel Ayme, Samsung’s Vice President of European Telecommunication Operations announced during the phone’s formal unveiling.
Although the UK has not been specifically named as one of these 150 launch territories, we can’t imagine our humble shores will be overlooked for a day one Samsung Galaxy S5 release.
A Samsung Galaxy S5 price is still to be confirmed.
