TECH: Samsung Galaxy S5 Google Play edition spotted on US Play Store

Though Samsung or Google never officially announced a Google Play Edition (GPe) for the Galaxy S5, it looks like the device is on its way. Now, Droid Life has discovered an image of the Galaxy S5 – among the GPe of HTC One, Xperia Z Utra and others – on the Google Play Store.

While browsing through Play editions currently available the site noticed that the S4 thumbnail showed the Galaxy S5 image. Though Google was quick enough to rectify the glitch, site managed to take a snapshot.

Galaxy S5 Google Play Edition on its way?

However, clicking on the link, it would direct users to the Galaxy S4 page instead. While Google may have accidentally swapped the thumbnail image, it has left tech enthusiasts wondering whether the Google Edition of the S5 would hit store shelves anytime soon.

While Google’s plans to kill the Nexus line have reportedly surfaced, Samsung has been mum about the possibility of the GPe S5 ever since the device was launched. It is highly speculated that one of the reasons why Samsung may have decided to bring the GPe of its flagship could be to compete with HTC. HTC recently announced the Google Play edition of its One M8.
