Yes, it's true folks! :D

Launch date is June 2014 and price tag will be the same as when the S5 first launched.

One by one the bits of the puzzle that is the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime are starting to fall in place. Just last week we brought you exclusive news on the display specs of the new flagship and now we have info on the launch date and price.

Samsung's first QHD smartphone, Galaxy S5 Prime G906S, will allegedly debut as early as the middle of next month. A source close to the Korean company revealed this to Korean publication Naver and even garnished it with details on the price of the device.

The unlocked version of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Prime is said to retail for KRW900,000, which is roughly equivalent to €640 or $880. This is roughly the same price tag as the one the Galaxy S5 carried at launch, although the current flagship has already received a price cut and can be found for just under €550 in many markets.

It's not the first time we are hearing of June release for the Galaxy S5 Prime, but it's still hard to believe that Samsung will be ready to release another flagship in just a month. On the other hand, delaying it much further will bring it too close to the release of the next Galaxy Note, which should come in September unless Samsung decides to break the tradition.

We guess we'll know if those new reports hold any water soon - if the launch is indeed going to happen in June, Samsung should be announcing a date for the press event in the next week or two.

Knee jerk response to the upcoming LG G3 I bet.

Will we get it though? Is it worth waiting?

I have my doubts about all this. When a new Samsung flagship is nearing we often begin seeing multiple variant numbers of it e.g. international, US, S.Korean and Dual Sim Chinese variants. With the S5 Prime so far there is just one variant and it only appears in S.Korean websites, pricing is in S.Korea's currency etc... It feels more and more like the GS4 LTE-A and GS2 LTE HD situation to me.

Don't quote me on it but I doubt we will get it, I doubt most of the world will get it. I see S.Korea, Germany, Japan and a few more key markets getting it much like the GS4 LTE-A. I hope I'm wrong.

I don't. When you are deciding on a phone at a substantial outlay for the next 2 years and the buyers remorse sets in after 2 months, it'll deter people when it comes to next upgrade time. Sure you're getting a great phone, but no-one likes to think 'schyt, if only I'd waited a couple of weeks'.

It's one of the things that annoy me about Samsung and I do prefer Apples approach to new releases with a smaller range and predictable releases.

I really don't mind. I am happy with my device(s) and will be till I upgrade again.

Same as this new releases thing, pretty sure it's just 90% free advertising/keeping tongues wagging about Samsung and pretty sure there will be a new device soon but really not bothered about it.
 
Oh my freak it looks sooo much better than the original Galaxy S5:

I want it NOW!!!! :o Hurry the F-UP Samsung! I hope it has a wide release and comes here, I really do. I will happily preorder it and be the 1st at the door when it arrives. I'm now looking forward to my upgrade :D

Samsung SA and Vodacom better bring the 32GB LTE model, none of this 16GB shyte! I've had a GS3 32GB and GS4 32GB, I'm not going backwards on my storage!

Well, this phone must try to counter sales for the iPhone 6 and LG G3, so it will have to be pretty sweet.
