U.S. Cellular will also sell the Galaxy S5 for $200 on contract, with preorders starting tomorrow. Meanwhile, T-Mobile customers can reserve their Galaxy S5 on March 24, with in-store and online availability beginning April 11. The cost is $0 down and 24 equal monthly payments of $27.50 with one of the carrier’s Simple Choice plans.

The Galaxy S5, announced at Mobile World Congress, looks a lot like last year’s Galaxy S4, but features a 5.1-inch screen, 16-megapixel camera and health-tracking features.
