The Galaxy S5 has been making the rounds since its global launch a week ago. It's already available at the major US carriers, and now it's trickling down to the smaller options out there. Today the device has come to MetroPCS, a prepaid service owned by T-Mobile, where it's available for $649 without an annual contract. The site shows the phone as currently available in-stores, but the online inventory should appear at some point.

MetroPCS plans start at $40 a month for 500MB of 4G LTE data, with $50 bumping that up to 2.5GB. $60 provides unlimited. Phones will run on T-Mobile's network, so if coverage is good in your area, this is one of the more affordable ways, long-term, to own a Galaxy S5.

Just know that you will have to be content with the black version. MetroPCS isn't offering up any other options.
