Samsung Galaxy S5 India launch today.

For the past many years, the Samsung Galaxy flagship has among been the most anticipated smartphone launches along with the iPhone and the Nexus devices. This year, Samsung launched its Galaxy S5 at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in late February. Less than a month later, the phone is ready for its India launch.

We expect Samsung to launch the phone along with the second generation Gear 2 and Gear Neo smartwatches. We would not be surprised of the company launches even the Gear Fit fitness band in the country today.

The phone is expected to have a starting price of around Rs 50,000 for the 16Gb version. The price of the 32GB version is speculated to go as high as Rs 60,000. However, it is not clear if the price will be a combo offer with any of the Gear devices.
