Samsung Galaxy S5 Available For Rs 28,999

Samsung Galaxy S5 is now available at a price point that is almost closes to Nexus 5 in India. If you're still looking to grab the Galaxy S5 (though there will be a Galaxy S6 coming soon), you can head over to Flipkart and get this smart phone for Rs 28,999, which is much-much lower than its launch price of Rs 51,500.

The price cut makes it more than evident that Samsung wants to retain its previous flagships and keep it relevant for any consumer, who couldn't afford it earlier. Galaxy S5 is their latest S flagship to bear the price treatment. Earlier this month, Galaxy S4 started selling for as low as Rs 17,999 via another online seller, Amazon. As you might recall, Galaxy S5 didn't real catch the eye with its design and for that price, that's suicidal to say the least. Otherwise, you had a decent-powered device which matched up to the best in class.

Samsung has launched its first 4G Mobile Phone in India

It has been priced at a hefty Rs 53,500, which puts in the same league as the iPhone 5s, which also is a 4G phone in India. The 4G version of the S5 will go on sale in India from July 20. “We expect the 4G version to catch the imagination of technology enthusiasts and professionals, who demand superior smartphones for their heavy multimedia content consumption,” said Asim Warsi, vice president (marketing, mobile & IT), Samsung India, in a press statement.

Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S5 3G was launched in India in April, and remains one of the best phones you could buy right now, despite the presence of the HTC One M8 (which is also getting 4G support) and the Sony Xperia Z2. The timing of the launch is curious though, as it comes just a day before LG launches the G3 in India. Clearly, Samsung wants the Galaxy S5 to remain in the limelight, which explains the launch of the 4G version.

Samsung has tied up with Airtel for data plans for buyers of the new model. Existing and new Airtel 4G subscribers will get 5GB 4G data per month free for two months, however, you will not be able to use the 4G in all circles, as the telecom provider has only now started bringing it to more circles.

The Galaxy S5 4G is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 SoC seen in the 3G model. It’s clocked at 2.5 Ghz processor and the device supports eight 4G LTE bands.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Announced With Full Specifications

Samsung announced the latest Galaxy S smartphone - the Samsung Galaxy S5 - at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Samsung's Galaxy S series has emerged as one of the strongest challengers to Apple's iPhones and has helped the Korean company surpass Apple as the world's largest smartphone maker.

Samsung Galaxy S5 has just leaked in live photos, specs and details. Some inspired reader managed to guess the link to a concealed article and downloaded everything about the upcoming flagship smartphone. Unfortunately the page doesn't exist anymore so it's impossible to confirm if the images are the real deal.

A chief complaint about Samsung phones has been the company's tendency to pack them with a slew of features, some of which don't work well with each other or at all.
