Starting today, Sprint customers can pre-order Samsung’s upcoming flagship smartphone of 2014, the Galaxy S5, which is set to officially go on sale in the United States on Friday, April 11. As far as pricing goes, the handset will retail for $199 on any of the operators two-year contracts, or for a pretty hefty $649 if you decide to buy the device outright on a prepaid plan.

The carrier also documents that the Galaxy S5 will be available completely free of charge on its Easy Pay tariff, which costs $27.09 per month for two years. This, in our opinion, seems to be the most affordable way to cover the entire cost of the handset if you don’t have the money to buy one outright straight away. In an effort to sweeten the deal, if you opt into this plan, you’ll also receive a free Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 on a data plan with a two-year agreement on Sprint’s data network.

Samsung’s latest offering packs a gorgeous 5.1-inch full HD Super AMOLED display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a Qualcomm MSM8974AC Snapdragon 801 chipset powered by four 2.5GHz central processing units, 16/32GB of internal storage (expandable up to 128GB via microSD), 2GB of RAM, a 16-megapixel rear-facing camera equipped with optical image stabilization, IP67 dust- and water-resistance, a Finger Scanner, a Heart Rate sensor and a 2,800mAh user-removable battery.

Furthermore, the handset will ship running Android 4.4.2 KitKat skinned with the latest version of Samsung’s TouchWiz custom user interface, which, according to the South Korean company, ‘is the easier way to use your device, giving you intuitive control over everyday tasks.’
