HumanIPO reported last month Samsung had unveiled the Galaxy S5 handset, saying the device is designed based on “what matters most” to consumers.
Three Korean operators, SK Telecom, KT Corp and LG Uplus, have started selling the handset because Samsung has already shipped large numbers of the handset to them prior to the official launch date.
Samsung said it was “very puzzled” by the operators’ actions and was deciding how to respond.
“The early sales of the S5 in Korea would not affect launch dates for the phone elsewhere in the world.” Samsung said.
