AT&T announced today that it will sell the Samsung Galaxy S5 for $199.99 with a two-year contract, or $649 without a contract. Although a launch date has not been set by AT&T for the flagship phone, AT&T customers can preorder the device starting March 21. During its Galaxy S5 Unpacked event last month at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, Samsung announced that the device would launch globally on April 11.

Samsung has a ton of devices coming out soon—three smartwatches and a phone to be precise—and availability and pricing information has just come out for all of them. First, we’ll deal with the watches. Samsung’s three-deep lineup of wearables can get pretty confusing, so here’s a recap: The Gear Fit is the bracelet-style device with a curved AMOLED display. The Gear 2 and Gear 2 Neo use the same form factor as the original Galaxy Gear, with the Gear 2 having a metal watch body and camera and the Gear 2 Neo having a plastic body and no camera. None of them are called “Galaxy” anymore because Samsung switched over to its self-made Tizen OS. (Got it? Good.)
