Samsung Galaxy S5 Price Revealed; Cost Less than Galaxy S4

Samsung's 2014 marquee smartphone Galaxy S5 price has been reportedly revealed ahead of the official global release on 11 April.

Technology blog, ZDNet has claimed that the new Galaxy S5 will be priced 800,000 Won (around ₹45,150/$739) in South Korea, almost 90,000 Won less than its predecessor's price tag (890,000 Won- 50,200/$822) during its early launch last year.

However, the price structure of Galaxy S5 will not remain same in all markets due to difference in currency value and the additional local taxes. With Indian currency value standing close to ₹61 against $1, it will be hard for Samsung to sell Galaxy S5 below 2012 model's price (₹41,500), but the company is reported to sell the device with competitive price tag, so that it can give stiff challenge to new flagships devices such as Sony Xperia Z2 and HTC One successor which are also slated to hit the market soon. 

One of the American network carriers has announced to sell the Samsung's new smartphone for under $650 (unlocked). AT&T has opened the pre-order window for USA consumers on Friday (21 March) to book Galaxy S5 and its compatible devices Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo and Gear Fit.

The company is offering the phone with two year contract for $199.99 (₹12,215) and unlocked model is priced $649.99 (around ₹39,700), whereas the second generation Gear smartwatch is for $299 (around ₹18,260) and its economic variant Gear 2 Neo for $199 (around ₹12,150). The fitness band Gear Fit will have a price tag of $199 (around ₹12,150) as well.
