Registration will be available through EE, Phones 4U and Carphone Warehouse.
This was probably one of the most anticipated bits of news to emerge from MWC this – even compared to Samsung’s additions to its smartwatch range.
Fans of the Galaxy family have been eagerly awaiting the unveiling of the next flag ship device, and no sooner had the Galaxy S5 been mentioned it then immediately went on to breaking its first record, receiving more than 100,000 pre-registrations.
The schemes launched by EE, Phones 4U and Carphone Warehouse were put in place to prevent any chance of a shortage in devices compared to demand – however we are not sure if they expected this kind of manic reaction.
Those desperately wanting to get their hands on a device must remember though the pre-registration is not a pre-order, and is only used to gage consumer interest.
If this interest will convert into sales, then Samsung’s new device could be breaking even more records in the coming months.
Samsung was the most tweeted about brand at Mobile World Congress this year, with 41,519 mentions.

If you've ever wanted to know how the iPhone 5s' Touch ID fingerprint security works beyond a basic overview, you'll be glad to hear Apple has just delivered a motherlode of new details. An updated version of its iOS Security white paper (PDF) explains much of what happens to your finger data after you touch the sensor. In short, your information may be more hack-resistant than it seems at first glance. Each A7 chip has a unique secure space that neither the A7 nor Apple can read, and every authentication session is encrypted end-to-end. The company is also offering a deeper explanation of what it does with your fingerprint image, noting that the print only lasts in memory until it's turned into a decryption key. As we've known for a while, there are safeguards that wipe out that key after 48 hours of inactivity, a reboot or five failed login attempts. While the new insights will only have so much usefulness when developers can't use Touch ID for their own apps, they suggest that there's little to no chance of fingerprint theft or alarge-scale data breach.

Samsung's device lineup may still be heavily dominated by Android, but change is in the air. Tizen, the open-source OS it jointly develops with Intel, powers the company's three new Gear wearables, and smartphones are coming later this year. We got the chance to play with Samsung's latest Tizen phone prototype, which runs a customized build (version 2.2.1) of the platform, allowing us to see what's changed since the last time we saw a Samsung developer handset. While there's still plenty of similarities between the prototype and what we've seen in the past, Samsung's worked to incorporate parts of its Android design language, particularly in the apps drawer, notification tray and homescreen widgets. Not only do they look better, each of the elements are more feature rich than before, offering users greater control over the device and making it feel like a complete platform. The company insists the platform isn't designed to replace Android, affirming that it forms part of its "multi-OS strategy," but given its recent wearable overhaul, we'll never say never. Check out the hands-on video below to see what a Samsung mobile future without Google could possibly look like.

Still unsure where unlocking your mobile device falls under the eyes of the law? Legislation just passed through the US House of Representatives that might clear things up, but there's a catch. The Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition act would allow users to unlock devices for use on a new carrier after their subsidized contract expires -- but a late change to the bill tacked on an exclusion for "bulk unlocking." This last minute change spoils the legislation for companies that purchase, unlock and resell devices to consumers, and casts a shadow over a bill that could have helped free your mobile from the convoluted mire of US copyright law.
Proponents of the change argue that it won't prevent the bulk sale of locked or previous unlocked phones - and it passed with a strong majority - but the change was significant enough to dissuade several previously supportive representatives from voting for the bill. "There needs to be a market in unlocked phones," Democratic Representative Jared Polis said, describing the late change as a "poison pill" for consumer advocates. Hopefully, the bill will see more positive tweaks on the floor of the Senate.

 It's been a long time coming, but Skype's revealed that folks can finally sign up for service using a Microsoft account. Skype believes this feature is perfect for users who perhaps want the least amount of logins possible, and it also points toMicrosoft's two-step verification as a benefit for having such an account. Meanwhile, the Windows Phone app has been updated with a number of security improvements, plus an indicator which lets you know when the person on the other side is typing. As part of the integration with its parent company, Skype will now require a Microsoft account (like the one used to set up your WP device) when registering for a new account through the application. This new version is only available for Windows Phone 8, however -- as you might recall, support for the app on earlier versions of the OS was cut off months ago.

Smartphone games accounted for a massive 75 per cent of the handheld market last year.
That's despite significant growth for Nintendo's 3DS console.
A report by IDC and App Annie found that Nintendo's handheld shifted an additional 10m games last year compared with the year before, with 30m games sold in total. Vita and PSP combined shifted around 8m. (Data does not include digital exclusive games)
Overall, boxed and full-game digital spending on these handheld platforms rose by nine per cent between 2012 and 2013.
But it was a year of major growth for the smartphone sector.
Consumer spend on Google's Android games store increased by over four times in Q4 2013 compared to the same period of the previous year. Likewise, global spending on Apple's iOS App Store more than doubled throughout the same period.
In fact, revenue generated by Apple's iOS platform greatly outpaced both the handheld and Google Play categories. The indexed consumer spending on iOS games topped 200m whilst handhelds and Google Play reached between 120m and 130m.
The top three grossing games on 3DS, Vita and other handhelds were dominated by Nintendo with Pokemon X&Y, Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon.
Elsewhere, Clash of Clans, Puzzle & Dragons and Candy Crush Saga proved most popular on iOS, whilst Puzzle & Dragons, Candy Crush Saga and Monster Taming for Kakao rounded out the Google Play store's Top Three.
"While consumers have traditionally spent more on games versus other types of apps, more than 75 per cent of combined iOS & Google Play consumer app spending in 4Q13 came from games," said Bertrand Schmitt, CEO of App Annie.
"This is a significant increase compared to Q4 2012 and a testament to the ever-growing popularity of games."

Four of the top security software firms have reported on the threats that smartphone and tablet owners face.
Panda Security has uncovered a potentially massive attack on Android takes advantages of Facebook’s ‘suggested posts’ by creating one advertising WhatsApp.
When users access Facebook from their Android mobile device, they will see different messages under the title ‘Suggested Post’ advertising WhatsApp tips. If the intended victim clicks on any of these ads, they are redirected to a fake version of Google Play.
Bitdefender has also uncovered some of the dangers Android users face. In a recent study, the firm found that out of 836,021 free Android apps studied, 35 per cent of them can access user locations, while almost three per cent can leak email address, five per cent can locate and over photos and ten per cent can read contact lists.
Kaspersky has found that nearly 100,000 new malicious programs for mobile devices were detected in 2013, more than double the previous year’s figures, with 98.1 per cent of all mobile malware detected in 2013 targeting Android device.
Meanwhile, Symantec has revealed that mobile malware will be ten years old this year. It all began in 2004 with the first variant of SymbOS.Cabir. The worm targeted Symbian OS, which was a very popular mobile operating system at the time.

Fans can watch Disney, Pixel and Marvel movies anywhere.
Walt Disney Co is making moves to encourage its fans to buy digital movies with Disney Movies Anywhere, reports Reuters.
The cloud-based movie service is available online and on mobile, for consumers to buy Disney, Pixar or Marvel movies and store them on the cloud, meaning they can be viewed anywhere.
400 titles are available through Apple’s iTunes store as well as the Disney Movies Anywhere website and app, and viewed on a laptop or desktop, iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, as well as the Apple TV box.
Jamie Voris, chief technology officer at Disney Studios, said: “The beauty of this technology is that it enables us to work with iTunes and future provider partners to ensure movie lovers have streamlined access to all of their favourite Disney titles no matter what device they are on.”
Disney is currently in talks to offer this service outside of iTunes.
Distimo previously reported that Disney was the dominant company in the app stores.

So that's Samsung's new flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5. The company makes the majority of the components itself, but what happened to those home-grownExynos processors? Well, Samsung tells us that the GS5 will come in two variants, one with the 2.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon chip (the model that we tested out at MWC), and another with a 2.1GHz octo-core Exynos. Samsung did the same with the Galaxy S4 last year, but we didn't pick up any huge differences in performance when we compared the two phones. The LTE-capable GS4s never left Korea, however, so we'd predict a similarly limited roll-out for any Exynos-powered GS5s.

Exactly a year to the day after it first announced its Knox security solution, Samsung's returned to Mobile World Congress with news that it's making it even easier to secure and manage Galaxy devices. With the launch of Knox 2.0 today, Samsung's changed the way the platform handles Google Play apps, digitally securing their data without the need to run them in a dedicated Knox workspace. Before, personal- and work-related apps were separated, but Samsung says "most" Google Play apps can now live in Samsung's secure world. It's certainly serious about its new features, as CEO JK Shin popped up at the event to drive home Samsung's desire to nail the enterprise market.
Samsung wants more secure apps across the board, so it's also launching Knox Marketplace, a dedicated cloud-based app store that lets tech managers grab apps and install them on all employee phones with a few clicks of a button. Box and GoToMeeting are already on board, and there are plenty of enterprise companies already working to make their apps available. Samsung tells us that the new features will begin rolling out in the second quarter, and it'll come pre-installed on the newly unveiled Galaxy S5. First-generation Knox users will get an upgrade to the new version as soon as their devices get an upgrade to Android 4.4 KitKat -- whenever that may be.

Jeff Atwood, co-founder of Stack Overflow, says the mobile app ecosystem is getting out of hand. 'Your platform now has a million apps? Amazing! Wonderful! What they don't tell you is that 99% of them are awful junk that nobody would ever want.' Atwood says most companies trying to figure out how to get users to install their app should instead be figuring out just why they need a mobile app in the first place. Fragmentation is another issue, as mobile devices continue to speciate and proliferate. 'Unless you're careful to build equivalent apps in all those places, it's like having multiple parallel Internets. "No, sorry, it's not available on that Internet, only the iOS phone Internet." Or even worse, only on the United States iOS phone Internet.' Monetization has turned into a race to the bottom, and it's led to worries about just what an app will do with the permissions it's asking for. Atwood concludes, 'The tablet and phone app ecosystem is slowly, painstakingly reinventing everything I hated about the computer software industry before the web blew it all up.'"

Blackberry has revealed that its new ‘classic’ smartphone will feature full qwerty keyboard, hard buttons and trackpad.
It may only be day two of Mobile World Congress, but an awful lot of new smartphones, wearable devices and prototypes have already been unveiled at the event.
While most announcements and talks so far have been pretty predictable, Blackberry’s CEO has announced some more unusual plans.
Having previously released the Q10 smartphone, which featured a full qwerty keyboard, the firm has decided to go even further back to basics by unveiling the Q20, a handset which also includes what Blackberry describes as ‘classic’ physical buttons – Menu, Back, Send and End, as well as an integrated trackpad.
CEO John Chen insists that this is the phone that millions of ‘passionate qwerty customers around the world’ have been asking for.
The firm also unveiled a low-cost version called the Z3, which will sell for less than $200. The phone will go on sale in Indonesia in April with plans to later expand to other markets.
When asked about a version featuring 4G connectivity, Chen said it is planned for “sometime in the future before I die.”
Just in case all that didn’t give you the idea that Blackberry is a little behind the times, Chen also revealed that the firm has no plans to take part in what is one of the hottest trends in the mobile technology market right now, wearable tech.

Samsung has unveiled its next flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S5, at this year’s Mobile World Congress.
The new handset features a fingerprint scanner, much like the one found on Apple’s iPhone 5S. While it can be used to unlock the device, it has another function that isn’t included on Apple’s flagship: It can be used to authorise PayPal transactions online.
The fingerprint scanner could ‘lead to the end of use names and passwords’ said Samsung at its Unpacked 5 event.
The smartphone features a 16MP camera with 4K video capabilities, 5.1-inch display, 2.5GHz Quad-Core processor, 2GB of RAM and a battery that can last 20 per cent longer than the Galaxy S4’s.
Having already announced the Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo smartwatches the day before, Samsung unveiled a third piece of wearable tech along with the S5.
The Gear Fit is designed to act more like a fitness tracking band rather than a smartwatch. The display curves around your wrist and is lighter and more compact than the Gear 2. While it doesn’t have a camera, it does tell the time and have pedometer and heart rate monitor apps.

Google is rumoured to be working with LG on a smartwatch featuring a brand-new operating system.
CNET reports that Google will unveil plans for the wearable device in March. According to a person familiar with the plans, the smartwatch is set to make its debut at the Google I/O conference in June.
“Google will employ a Nexus-like model in which it designs the software and controls virtually every aspect of the launch, leaving the hardware details to a partner who takes a backseat in terms of visibility,” reported the publication.
There has already been a number of smartwatches and smartbands unveiled over the past two days at Mobile World Congress, including Samsung, Sony and Huawei.

Apple is miles behind with 19 per cent.
Android is storming ahead as the most used operating system in Europe, answering for 68.5 per cent of all smartphones in the three months leading up to January, reports Kantar.
Although Windows remains the fastest growing European OS, it still only owns 10.1 per cent of the market, compared to Apple who are in second place with 19 per cent, still a fair distance from Android.
Windows market share is being largely driven by the popularity of the Nokia Lumia 520 which was the fourth highest selling handset in Britain over the last three months, just behind the Apple 5C.
Dominic Sunnebo, strategic director at Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, said: “Nokia has continued its successful tactic of sucking up remaining feature phone owners across Europe. Even in Britain, where smartphone penetration is at 70 per cent, there are over 14 million feature phone consumers for it to target.
Despite previous disappointing results, Apple’s iPhone 5C has finally started to take off. In the first few months since the launch, the iPhone 5S outsold the 5C three to one, however the cheaper device is gaining momentum and has now reduced that ratio, two to one.
Women are the biggest 5C fans, with 74 per cent of British 5C buyers being female, compared to 36 per cent for the 5S.
5S users are however more engages with their phones, particularly for heavy data usage.

The service is planned for the second quarter of this year in the hope it will help the company hit one billion users.
WhatsApp and Facebook’s plan to connect / take over the techy world could be closer than we thought.
Jan Koum, CEO of the messaging app announced at MWC yesterday that he is aiming to offer free calling to its 450 million users in the hope it will encourage that number to jump to one billion.
We can imagine the look of shock and horror on the world’s network operators, who had already taken a big hit when OTT messaging services first came into the spotlight – causing SMS revenues to drop drastically.
Adding free calls to its service as well could be devastating for networks around the world.
In yesterday’s keynote speech, Zuckerberg defended paying the extortionate price Facebook paid for WhatsApp – saying that it is the most engaging app he had ever seen on mobile.
James Briscoe, MD of marketing agency Unique Digital, commented: “Voice calling could be just the start, as Facebook has just bought itself a slice of the increasingly important voice search pie.
“Facebook’s acquisition of WhatsApp was always going to be one that saw a shakeup of the services offered by both platforms (regardless of whether they are merged together or not). All roads led to a future where social networks are true communications backbones, rather than a peripheral bit of fun.”
Following the acquisition, WhatsApp experienced a short-term outage of its services over the weekend, stating: “Sorry we are currently experiencing server issues. We hope to be back up and recovered shortly.”
Here are 22 things – including his WhatsApp comment – that Mark Zuckerberg said in his Keynote speech yesterday…

Gaming peripheral manufacturer Mad Catz plans to join the mobile gamepad market with the upcoming release of the C.T.R.L.i, a Bluetooth-enabled, dual-analog controller with native support for iOS7 devices.
Keen eyes may observe that the C.T.R.L.i bears a striking resemblance to the controller bundled with the Mad Catz-branded MOJO microconsole released last year. The C.T.R.L.i uses the same basic shell as the MOJO's controller with an additional spring-loaded mount that supports current and future iOS devices.
The C.T.R.L.i will be priced at $80 when it hits retail in April.
