The Samsung Galaxy S5 isn't going to be cheap - that we can be sure of. But there's potentially good news for anyone looking to pick one up as a report suggests it won't be quite as expensive as the Galaxy S4.

Samsung Galaxy S5

According to ZDNet Korea, the Korean media is reporting that the factory price for the Samsung Galaxy S5 has been set at 890,000 Won (around $830, £500, AU$900).

Considering the Galaxy S4 set you back £550-£600 SIM free when it first went on sale, that's a potentially decent price drop for its successor.

How low can you go?


There's no guarantee that this price will be the one which hits retail stores, and the cost may be bumped in other countries thanks to tax and other costs.

One online retailer in the UK has the SIM-free Galaxy S5 listed for £549.98 (around $900, AU$1000), although that is potentially subject to change.

The official Samsung Galaxy S5 pre-orders are set to go live on March 28, which means we hopefully won't have to wait too long to find out the actual price.
