Retail Price of S5 Two Years Ago

[monicakm]

Does anyone remember what the retail price (full price, not contract) was two years ago?
Thanks

Around the time of its release, it was retailing for $650 without contract, according to CNet: https://www.cnet.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s5/

Thanks Diddy! The reason I asked is that my husband just paid off his S5 (contact with Verizon). Seems like a month early also but I may be wrong. Our bill went down $23/month. 23x24 months is $552. Adding the $100 he paid for it (on sale), the phone cost us $652. Time and time again I've read people say that it cost more to purchase the phone via contract than retail. Gads! I much rather pay $23/month than $650 out right. That's an insane amt of money to pay for a phone. $23/month sounds less insane He wants a S7 so I told him he could have my 6 month old S7 and I'll get the Note 7. He's not going for it. Fine, keep your S5 <lol>
