With the official launch of the Samsung Galaxy S5 in the Philippines held last April 3, 2014 at the Samsung Hall of the SM Aura Premier in Bonifacio Global City, Globe announced yesterday a new range of postpaid plans dedicated for the latest Samsung Galaxy flagship smartphone.

The Galaxy Forever Plan, as Globe calls it, is pretty much like the Globe iPhone Forever Plan the telco introduced last year for the iPhone 5S and 5C. Available for both new and existing Globe postpaid subscribers, the Galaxy Forever plan allows them to upgrade to the latest Samsung Galaxy smartphone every year, whenever a new one gets released in the country.

Although the 2014 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona isn’t done yet, probably the announcement everyone had their eyes on was with Samsung’s Unpacked5 event, in which the Korean tech giant finally unveiled as expected the most talked about 2014 MWC smartphone release–the Galaxy S5. Samsung did not just give the new Galaxy S flagship an aesthetic refresh, but internal tweaks and new features as well, compared to its predecessor. The SGS5 even boasts features that are present with other phones from different brands, but is definitely new for the Galaxy line.

Over the past couple of weeks (even up to months), the internet has been a witness to tons of rumors, leaks and unofficial analyses from different sources about the Galaxy S5.
