AT&T and US Cellular are the first US carriers to announce pricing and availability for the Samsung Galaxy S5, which globally goes on sale April 11 for $200 with a two-year contract. AT&T will sell the Galaxy S5 off contract for $650.
AT&T and US Cellular customers can preorder their white or black Galaxy S5 online tomorrow at the carriers' sites. They promise to ship the phones in early April.
In addition, AT&T will put Samsung's new family of wearable devices on shelves later in April. The Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch will cost $299, and both the simpler Samsung Gear 2 Neo and Samsung Gear Fit band get a $199 price tag.
AT&T customers who bundle a Gear 2 or Neo with the Galaxy S5 will get $50 off the bill.
Unfortunately, neither carrier has announced plans to release the Galaxy S5 in its bright copper and blue shades. We'll update you here if that changes.
This is an evolving story and will continue to update as more carrier pricing arrives.
