The Samsung Galaxy S5 is finally here. But you might not be really happy about that fact that the phone costs at least Rs 51,000. It could be as high as Rs 53,000.
Then other small catch is that the phone being launched in India is not powered by Qualcomm snapdragon 801 and hence would not a 4G phone. The version that being launched in India is powered by an Octa-core processor combo (quad 1.9 GHz + quad 1.3 GHz) which seems to be similar to Exynos 5 processor on the last Samsung Galaxy note 3 and note pro 12.2-inch tablet.
As reported by indianexpress.com the company the company also launched the entire new Gear range along the Samsung Galaxy S5. the Gear 2 is priced at Rs 21,900, while the gear 2 Neo and gear fit are more affordable with a Rs 15,900 price tag. it has also opened up these devices to almost the entire Galaxy range, of which there are 35 million users in India earlier , the gear devices are synced only with a handful of top-end galaxy phones. however they still don't work on galaxy ecosystem and Vineet Taneja , the country head for India , said this has been done deliberately to draw people towards Galaxy range.
While the pricing might appear sleep to lot of people. The fact is that high prices have not really deterred people from buying flagship phones. a case in point is the success of iphone 5s despite its will do so with the help of EMI schemes.
The rest of the specs of Samsung Galaxy S5 are similar to what announced at the mobile world congress in Barcelona in the the last week of February. The change in processor has been necessitated by the fact that there is still no nationwide 4G service in India. HTC, which earlier this week announced the HTC one m8 which was powered by same Qualcomm snapdragon 801 processor as the S5, has decided to launch only the 4G version in India.
