Today, Vodafone UK has announced through its blog that it has acquired the Exclusive Rights to the Samsung Galaxy S5 Gold Edition. The Galaxy S5 was originally announced in 4 color options (Gold, Black, White and Blue), but it seems if you're in the UK and want to get the S5 (in Gold) through a carrier then Vodafone UK is your only option.

Vodafone will have all three colors along with the exclusive Gold color up for pre-order starting March,28th and the phone will be available in stock by April,11th.

As you may know, Samsung Galaxy S5 is set to internationally on April,11 (next month). However,h some markets may be getting the Galaxy S5 even earlier than this date.

The three biggest carriers in Malaysia have already confirmed they will be offering the Samsung Galaxy S5 on contract once it becomes officially available. It seems the date has been just recently cleared out as well March,27th. Or at least that's what the latest teaser picture suggest. There is no info on whether March,27th is the date the carriers will begin taking pre-orders for the April 11 launch, or it is the actual release date for the Malaysian market.

Samsung Galaxy S5 is set to April 11th release date, until then we rely on the reviews & test around the web to what this device can do. This time we get to see how the IP67 certification of the phone holds water, literally.

The reviewers did a little waterboarding exercise on the device, whose results you can briefly see in the video below.

The IP67 certification is real, despite that Samsung humbly calls the phone "water-resistant". It not only survives splashes of water jetting on it from all sides, but can also be immersed fully in up to three feet of the liquid, and stay there for half an hour, just as its IP67 tag suggests.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom Full Specifications leaked from the GFXBench database, revealing the main features of the Hybird device (model number SM-C115) that will be released later this year.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom has a 19MP main camera that can record 1080p video, at least that's what the benchmark managed to detect. There's a front-facing 2MP / 1080p camera too.

This hybrid Camera/Phone device also has a 4.8" 720p screen, probably a Super AMOLED. It's powered by a Samsung Exynos 5 Hexa chipset with a 1.3GHz clockspeed, which should be the four Cortex-A7 cores. The two Cortex-A15s run at 1.7GHz. The chipset also packs 2GB RAM and a Mali-624 GPU.

The Samsung Galaxy S5 Zoom ran Android 4.4.2 KitKat and by the looks of it, it will have 16GB of built-in storage with a big chunk reserved for the OS and TouchWiz. The device will feature NFC connectivity and, of course, a SIM card slot. We're betting on a microSD card slot too.

We are still a month away from the Galaxy S5 market launch, but we still can get a closer look at the device. A russian Mobile-tech fan has uploaded a 30 min long video review of th Samsung Galaxy S5, which cover in-depth almost everything about the handset from its design, to its features.
