Best Buy Verizon Galaxy S4 Pre-order Start Today!

 We already posted an article that covered all major Galaxy S4 US carriers and at that time there was very little information concerning Verizon. Unlike other major carriers who already announced the dates and prices of the device, Verizon hasn't even bothered to give the general public a specific date. However, the did come forward recently stating that they will have the Galaxy S4 in stock sometime in May.

 Since there is no official date concerning the Verizon offer, Best Buy has not given out too many information either. However, pre-orders are available and you have to go to either a Best Buy Mobile standalone store or a Best Buy Mobile shop at a larger Best Buy store. While other companies are still putting out landing pages to get your email in order to notify you of the release, Best Buy is stepping forward with their offer quite a bit.

 For $50 you can secure your pre-order, although this is a bit unwise as the actual pricing of the product is not yet known. It is expected that you will, in total, have to pay $200 or $250 if you plan to use a two-year contract. Off contract the device should cost $800 which isn't the most affordable deal out there, but it is a very standard offer.

 So if you like Verizon's services and really want the new Samsung Galaxy S4 then the price with contract looks quite nice. I do, however, encourage you to have a look at what other carriers are offering. If you wanted to buy the standalone device from Verizon then I suggest you get it somewhere else. After all, who wants to pay $800 for that ugly branding that they place on the back case of every device. Yes, I do find that very, very annoying as you may have noticed through other blog posts here!

Galaxy S4 US Release Dates Revealed?

 We have recently covered a story about AT&T's pricing as well as a special pre-order offer from Verizon, but neither of these companies have released official information regarding the actual Samsung Galaxy S4 release date. While many have already pre-ordered the new smartphone from the carriers, no official news has yet been revealed. However, there will always be rumors and leaks in the mobile/tech industry and today I shall inform you of one such rumor. Over night it spread across many micro-blogs such as mine since the "big sites" published it so I suppose many feel that "it must be true". This is, as you already know, a mistake on its own. None the less let us see what this photo has to say.

The source of the document is a Staple's employee

 So to highlight the important part:

• AT&T is releasing the Galaxy S4 on the 26th of April
• T-Mobile will offer the Galaxy S4 starting the first of May
• Verizon is falling behind and will offer the smartphone on the 30th of May

 What nobody understand however, is that above it is stated "tentative" which means that this is just a test date and is probably by no means real. However, I would not be surprised if the truth is anything like this, since Verizon has a history of being late. AT&T Galaxy S4 pricing details have already been announced and pre-orders are starting today via their official website. This, I believe that there is truth to the rumor that they will be the first Galaxy S4 carrier in the USA.

 There is little information regarding Sprint and their possible offers, but sources say that the company will eventually get the Galaxy S4 in their offer. The employees however have responded that they do not expect the phone to hit their stores until June.

 Which carrier would you most rather choose for your new Galaxy S4? Leave us a comment down bellow!

Galaxy S4 India Release on April 25th; Price Under Rs 40,000

 After our release on AT&T Galaxy S4 prices in the USA, here is a report from another side of the world. Namely, this article takes us to India, and our readership from this part of the world will be overjoyed to hear the news of the Galaxy S4 release in this country. Even though the news indicate that the device will be launched on April 25th, it is very likely that the Galaxy S4 will not hit the stores in India until April 27th. The phone will be available for less than 40,000 Rs via contract, while manufacturer recommended price will be around 42,000 Rs.

 We do not have information on whether or not this model will feature the Exynos 5 Octa processor, but it is very likely that consumers in this part of the world will have the same problems as the good folk in Europe, since the Galaxy S4 in these areas will not feature the Exynos 5 Octa. It is a real shame that the octa-core processor isn't yet ready for mass productions since it is a very strong selling point of this device.

 Also, the rumor on the Net is that Samsung is a tad bit worried about the rumored upcoming iPhone 5S which could make sales drop. To counter this, it seems that improved models as well as the Galaxy S4 Mini are on their way. Along with this, the Galaxy Note 3 is going to hit the shelves big soon enough! However, we will talk about these rumors later on!

Galaxy S4 Price/ Cost Rumors

 The Galaxy S4 will be presented on March 14 and we are all excited to see what Samsung has been working on for the past months. This website has covered a fair share of leaks, rumors, official news and many other details, yet this is actually the first article where we will try to discus the Galaxy S4 price concept to see how much this smartphone might cost. Keep in mind that this is a premium, high-end device and thus you can be sure that it will be quite expensive. But how expensive? As expensive as the S III model or as expensive as the new iPhone? Well, I obviously can't tell you, but let us look at the problem from different sides and see what professionals in the industry seem to think.

 An article on Expert Review says that the price will not be higher than £499 upon release which is the price that the Galaxy S3 has when it was first released. It is believed that the Galaxy S4 price might be a bit lower since there are quite a few phones out there that are giving it a nice for its money. These competitors are phones such as the new HTC One, the LG Google Nexus 4 and the stunning Sony Xperia Z. For those of you in the USA, this a price that is approximately $745 which is quite a lot. Oh, and in case you are from the EU, then that's around 570 euros.

 If you are, however, looking to get this device via a contract with one of your local carriers then you can expect to pay between £30-40. This is between 35-45 euros or $40-60. If you plan on using a service with 4G/LTE then you can expect the costs to be much higher. Some might find this a great offer, other people will say that this is just too much, but these are personal issues and opinions that this blog will not focus on for the time being.

 Of course, it is also possible for Galaxy S4 to cost a lot more and a lot less than this and we cannot be 100% sure due to obvious reasons. However, I personally highly doubt that this device will be more expensive than the Galaxy S3 and I wouldn't be surprised if it were a little bit less expensive, especially in some regions that Samsung will try to take-over with their new line-up.

 So, the question for today dear readership is: how much would you pay for the new Galaxy S4? What do you think is a reasonable price? Judging by the early benchmark specs it will be an amazing device folks!
