Deal: Unlocked Samsung Galaxy S5 now just $259.99

If you want to buy a new Android smartphone, but you don't have too much money to spend, and you don't necessarily need a model released recently, you may consider getting the Samsung Galaxy S5. The handset - which was Samsung's flagship of 2014 - can currently be bought for just $259.99, unlocked, via Daily Steals. Normally, an unlocked Galaxy S5 costs at least $300. The offer appears to be available until February 1, so you have until early next week to decide if it's worth it.

The Galaxy S5 that's sold by Daily Steals is the SM-G900A model, so it's compatible with the LTE networks of AT&T and T-Mobile, but won't work on Verizon and Sprint. There are three color versions available: black, white, and gold.

Currently running Android Lollipop, the Samsung Galaxy S5 should be updated to Android Marshmallow starting April (a few lucky S5 owners seem to have already received the update).

While it's not made out of metal (like the Galaxy S6), the Galaxy S5 is dust- and water-resistant (IP67-certified), and it's still a very decent smartphone. Its highlight features include a 5.1-inch 1080p Super AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 801 processor, and a 16 MP rear camera. There's also 2 GB of RAM on board, plus 16 GB of expandable storage space.
