As
reported earlier, US carrier AT&T has started taking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy S4 for $200 for the 16GB variant of the phone. It has
listed the regular contract-free price of the phone as $640 (approx. Rs. 34,700). The phone will go on sale on May 3, though AT&T is promising to ship units ordered now on April 30.
In the UK, an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S4 is available through Amazon for 699 Pounds (approx. Rs. 58,000). In Portugal, the smartphone has been listed for 690 Euros (approx. Rs. 49,000). So far, there is no word in regards to India availability or what could be the tentative price for this smartphone, but if the Amazon UK factory unlocked price is any indication, we can expect a price-tag well in the north of Rs. 50,000.
Samsung had unveiled the Galaxy S4 smartphone on March 14. The phone sports a 5-inch full-HD screen with a resolution of 1080x1920 pixels, and pixel density of 441ppi.
