The Samsung Galaxy S5 won’t arrive officially until the 11th of April, but some retailers around the world are already putting up pre-order listings for the upcoming flagship. The pricing is the highest in Spain where it would reportedly cost a massive €730 ($1,000). But we’re now seeing other retailers around the world put up listings of the smartphone as well.
Orange Romania is offering the smartphone with a two year contract for €249 ($342) and off contract for €699 ($959). German and Italian subsidiaries of Amazon are offering the Galaxy S5 with the same off contract pricing. It was mentioned earlier that Samsung will look to price its latest handset much lesser compared to previous flagships, but that doesn’t seem to be the case looking at these listings.
Moving on, Dutch retailer Belsimpel has listed the upcoming Samsung flagship for €652 ($894) which is much cheaper than Germany or Italy’s pricing, but still quite a lot. If you’re looking to get the smartphone from Russia, be prepared to shell out 29,900 rubles or $827 while in Bulgaria the device will cost €664 ($910). An Indian retailer has also listed the Galaxy S5 for 45,500 Rupees ($737), which appears to be the cheapest of all the variants revealed. It’s still early days though, so it’s hard to predict if these prices will be final once the device officially launches.
