Samsung has announced that the Copper Gold variant of the Galaxy S5 will be available in the US on May 30.

Mobile carriers AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and US Cellular will stock the new copper cold and aquamarine color options, while Verizon will be selling it through select indirect retailers.

Samsung Experience Shops located in Best Buy retail stores will also carry both new models.

Prices have yet to be announced.

When the Galaxy S5 was unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in Spain earlier in the year, it only came in black and white variants.

While Samsung’s latest smartphone model has been rated highly, CNET have noted that it is “more of a Galaxy S4 Plus than it is a slam-the-brakes, next-generation device.”

The Galaxy S5 features:

- 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display

- Quad-core 2.5GHz Snapdragon 801 chip

- 2GB of RAM

- 16-megapixel ISOCELL camera

- LTE connectivity

- Fingerprint and heart rate sensors

- 2,800 mAh battery

- OS: Android 4.4 KitKat  with the latest TouchWiz UI, which offers features like Ultra Power Saving Mode and Download Booster.
