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.
The Samsung Experience Stores, launched in partnership with the Carphone Warehouse are now open in the following UK locations: London Oxford Street, Newcastle Northumberland Street, Liverpool Paradise Street, Bradford Darley, Bristol Cribbs Causeway, Manchester Market Street, Bournemouth The Avenue Centre, Cardiff Queen’s Street and Newcastle MetroCentre.

These technology one-stop shops also allow customers to buy content for their devices straight from the high street for the first time.
Simon Stanford, Vice President of IT & Mobile division, Samsung Electronics UK & Ireland said: “The response to the Galaxy S5 and our new wearables line since Mobile World Congress has been phenomenal and we’re delighted our customers across the UK are now able to get their hands on them and try them out for themselves.
