Samsung planning April release for the Galaxy S5

[Golfdriver97]

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.

If they're announcing it in February, I would hope they start releasing it on March at the latest.

As I wrote somewhere else on this forum, if they don't release it within a few weeks after announcement, they'd be cannibalizing their own sales

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.

Yeap thats what im thinking. For them to launch in a few weeks after feb 24 would make sense. Holding it off would hurt them alot. I recently test drove the LG G2 and nexus 5 which both are great phones but at the end im all for the latest top end phone of 2014 which that being said BRING on the s5 im ready

The S5 could go one sale in March : http://www.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5-could-go-sale-just-three-weeks

That would be in line with the Note 3 announcement then release. We'll know in a few days.

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.

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.
