Come to me, my precious...

The Samsung Galaxy S5 release date is set for April 11 2014, and the UK's networks are clamouring to sell you the latest must-have flagship.

But where exactly should you queue and what funds should you have available in your bank account when you do?

One retailer is listing the Samsung Galaxy S5 UK price as £549.98 (having dropped it from £599.98) if you opt for a SIM-free handset, and information about other network deals is starting to trickle in.

We've rounded up all the information available for you and will keep this page updated - the only question now is what colour should you get?
