The Samsung Galaxy S5 was met with a mixed reaction when it was announced at MWC just under a month ago. Despite having very little to offer on top of the Galaxy S4 there is no doubt at all that this device will sell by the bucket load.
Three have today announced their pricing structure for the upcoming device which will be available for pre-order starting March 28th and will start to ship on the 11th of April 2014.
The pricing for the device will start with a £69 upfront cost on a £38 24 month tariff  which will include 600 minutes and 2GB of data or if 2GB is far from enough then you can look at paying £44 a month for all you can eat data and calls.
