The Samsung Galaxy S 4 is in the news for new prices, presale dates and a smaller Samsung Galaxy S 4 mini.
Whoops, AT&T miscalculated the price of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 but is staying firm on the presale date.
Yes, AT&T will offer presales of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 on April 16, but the price for the 16GB model is$199.99. The 32 GB model will cost $249.99.
It seemed strange to us that usually Samsung Galaxy S smartphones start off at $199.99. It's closes competitor is the HTC One that will cost $199.99 for the 32GB model and presale orders get a free HDMI wireless adapter.
Here's how AT&T changed its tune "Update: The 32GB model will be $249.99 with a two-year commitment and the 16GB model will be $199.99 with a two-year commitment."
The price had some analysts worried that the Samsung Galaxy S 4 couldn't compete with the iPhone 5 that costs $199.99.
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 presales at U.S. Cellular will start on April 16 also however no price or release dates have been set yet. The T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4 will go sale May 1.
Prices for the Samsung Galaxy S III were reduced after the Samsung Galaxy S 4 announcement. U.S. Cellular dropped the price of the S III down to $99. Prices for the Samsung Galaxy S III are as low $19.99 for new Verizon customers and $49.99 for renewing.
It is rumored that the Samsung Galaxy S 4 will begin shipping in mid April, in time for end of April and early May release dates.
For those who think the 5" screen of the Samsung Galaxy S 4 is too big, Samsung will also release a Samsung Galaxy S 4 mini with a smaller screen. The mini version of the Samsung Galaxy S III was not released in the United States.
Samsung calls the Samsung Galaxy S 4, a "life companion."
