In less than 2 weeks we swill have the chance to upgrade from the Samsung Galaxy S4 because the specifications of the S5 are really attractive. If you have never used a Samsung smartphone, this might be the best time to upgrade from whatever handset you now have.

This is the press release from Samsung Zambia about the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Gear smartwatches:

‘Samsung has announced the launch date of its latest Galaxy S5 smartphone as April 11, 2014. Also launching on the same date are the Gear 2 and Gear Fit smart watches which were unveiled in February and have been on display and available for pre-order in more than 1,400 shops around the world since March 21, 2014.

“The new Samsung Galaxy S5 and Gear devices are designed for what matters most to our consumers,” said Younghee Lee, Executive Vice President of Global Marketing, IT& Mobile Division at Samsung Electronics. “The design team listened closely to our consumers when creating these products, and we hope as many customers as possible will take up the chance to experience the Galaxy S5, Gear 2, and Gear Fit.”

The Galaxy S5, Samsung’s newest flagship smartphone, combines an advanced camera, the fastest network connectivity, dedicated fitness tools and enhanced device protection features to deliver the ultimate mobile experience to the market today.The device was announced at the Mobile World Congress on February 24, and will be available globally on April 11, 2014.

Samsung also announced three new additions to the smartwatch Gear series: The Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo, and Gear Fit.

“The Samsung Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo offer consumers enhanced connectivity and a completely integrated approach for the most personal wearable experience. The Samsung Gear Fit offers the unmatched convenience of Samsung Gear technology with the most
comprehensive fitness tools available today, empowering consumers stay physically active without sacrificing personal style or mobile connectivity. The Gear devices will also be available globally on April 11 2014,” adds Lee.

Beginning with the United States and Switzerland on March 21, the special first look experience was expanded to the remaining 59 markets including Brazil, China, Germany,and United Kingdom.’

So there you have it, a date with what will be one of the biggest competitors on the smartphone scene this year.

We just can’t wait to find out who will offer it with the best deals. Last year the Galaxy S4 was first offered by Zamtel  but we hope this year’s offer of the Samsung Galaxy S5 by Samsung Zambia and its affiliate operators will offer better prices, data bundle plans that are actually affordable seeing as the phone runs on Android, and payment plans to suit the pocket of customers. We also await to know if the devices will come prepackaged with the Gear watches or if they’ll be sold separately.

A detailed review of the Samsung Galaxy S5 will be put up as soon as we get our hands on it!
