We already know that Samsung will reveal the Galaxy S5 next week at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2014 trade fair, but we're still not sure when exactly the smartphone will go on sale.

In order to fill that lack of information, the folks over at GSMArena have talked with a Samsung executive on the upcoming release of the Galaxy S5.

Well, it looks like Samsung's flagship smartphone will go on sale earlier than we have anticipated. According to Samsung's official, the Galaxy S5 will be available for purchase in just about three weeks from now.

This means that the handset should hit shelves sometime in mid-March, more than a week ahead of HTC M8's official release, which is slated for March 25.

As always, we recommend our readers to take this information with a grain of salt until Samsung comes forward with an official statement.
