The Next Big Thing Is Here – introducing the Samsung Galaxy S® 5, coming to T-Mobile and MetroPCS this April.

The Galaxy S 5 also offers S Health™ which enables consumers to access health info, track and map workouts and make and track healthier eating choices right on the device.

Additional information, including pricing and specific availability will be shared in the coming weeks.”

Sadly, it’s the information you really want to know that we’re not certain on yet. Specific date and pricing aren’t known. I’ve also been asked by a few if it’s compatible with the 700MHz spectrum being rolled out by T-Mobile later this year. I also don’t know the answer to that yet either. But, as soon as I get any confirmation on any of those, I’ll be sure to update you all.

What do you guys think of the phone from coverage so far? I’ve seen a lot of “not great” and “not as much as I was expecting”. Me personally, Samsung improved the parts I felt it needed too. Firstly, its rear cover feels fantastic in hand. Much better than the shiny, horrible plastic of previous gen Galaxies. Secondly, it’s water and dust resistant. Thirdly, great update to the camera hardware. Faster AF, intelligent contrast adapting and HDR will make its images so much better. Of course, it’s a great battery and even more impressive power control features too. Along with the Gear Fit, it’s by far the best thing I saw at MWC this past weekend. In terms of networking performance, it can hit up to 150Mbps on LTE cat 4.. Which is insane.

Still, I’m eager to hear your thoughts on it. I’ve got my eye on the Electric Blue version. To pre-register for updates, hit this page.
