Those who pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S5 were able to collect the device from one of nine new Samsung Experience Stores, which opened across the UK this week, as well as from the Samsung Experience Store at Westfield Stratford City, from 6pm last night. Customers were treated to a champagne reception whilst a dedicated expert helped them to set up their devices, plus they were offered Smart Academy demos to teach them more about their new smartphone.
