Samsung’s latest flagship smartphone, along with its new range of wearable tech devices, has launched in the UK today.
The Galaxy S5 smartphone, Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo smartwatches, and the Gear Fit fitness band are all available to buy now from all major retails in store and online.
The products will also be available in Samsung’s newly launched Experience Stores up and down the country.
The Galaxy S5 features a 16MP camera with 4K video capabilities, 5.1-inch display, 2.5GHz Quad-Core processor, 2GB of RAM and a battery that can last 20 per cent longer than the Galaxy S4’s.
The Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo are the first wearable devices to be powered by Tizen.
The Gear Fit is designed to act more like a fitness tracking band rather than a smartwatch. The display curves around your wrist and is lighter and more compact than the Gear 2. While it doesn’t have a camera, it does tell the time and have pedometer and heart rate monitor apps.
CompareMyMobile.com has already revealed that 37.48 per cent of people are planning to upgrade to the Galaxy S5 by trading in an old Apple device.
Tech21 has been one of the first firms to unveil its line of Galaxy S5 cases. Its range of Impactology cases are available in the UK from today (April 11th).
