Now, a tweet from Eldar Murtazin, a popular Russian blogger, says that the Galaxy S5 will indeed be unveiled on Feb 23. The tweet goes deep into the details of the unveiling as it has even timings of the event. The tweet also mentions that the price of the device will be the same – most probably indicating that it will be priced around the pricing of Galaxy S4.
