Since the announcement is in February, do you think that an April release is plausible? I think it does, as it would put almost 6 months between the S series and the Note series.
GN3 launch dates were quickly announced by the US carriers with shipping dates starting as little as a few weeks after international launches. It very possible Samsung want to get the sales rolling asap to make up for the GS4 poor sales and get ahead of HTC One 2.
I agree. How they keep things like this under wraps I don't know, but I'd think eventual leaks will become more frequent as we get closer to the announcement.March or April.... there must already be hundreds of thousands S5 phones boxed and ready to ship... they're just sitting in an undisclosed warehouse somewhere.
