Samsung UK today announced that the Galaxy S5 and its new range of wearables devices – which includes the Gear Fit, Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo – are now available to buy from all major retailers in store and online, as well as at Samsung Experience Stores across the UK. The newly launched devices are now on the shelves in 125 countries including the US, Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and most Asian markets.
Announced in February at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the fifth generation of the Galaxy S series has been eagerly anticipated ever since its unveiling. Superior camera functionality, the ability to download data and content faster than ever before and a range of exciting new health and wellbeing features all mean that the Samsung Galaxy S5 enhances and enables peoples’ mobile lives.
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.
Rolling out across the UK, Sweden, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands, the stores combine a premium look and feel with intuitive technology to provide the ultimate in-store customer experience. 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. Designed with a number of innovative and essential features for day-to-day use, we can’t wait to hear what our customers think.”
