By Leave a Comment

The wait is over for Verizon Wireless customers eyeballing the Samsung Galaxy S4. Verizon is offering the 16 GB version of Galaxy S4 for $649.99 outright or $199.99 with a two-year subscription. That’s not all for eager Galaxy fans; Amazon Wireless is selling the same device at a $20 discount for $179.99.

Even before Verizon’s release, Wirefly offered a pre-order deal with $20 off the official price tag. For those who missed the pre-order discount, Amazon’s deal is coming as a boon. The deal is not only for new customers ready for a two-year contract with Verizon, but also for existing customers, provided the contract is signed.

The device comes in Black Forest and White Mist. However, only the latter is in stock, so the Black Forest will take about 2 to 4 weeks to be shipped. Amazon is also offering a free 2-day delivery, a great offer for those living in regions where shipping charges are huge.

Right now only the 16 GB Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 version is available. Galaxy S4 made its debut in three storage versions – 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB – plus a microSD card slot. Other features include a quad core 1.9 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean OS, 5-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display, dual cameras and 2,600 mAh battery.

Google’s I/O event revealed that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Nexus would be compatible only with AT&T and T-Mobile networks. However, Samsung’s official online store has put up a listing for the “Developer Edition” of the Galaxy S4 Verizon version. The Verizon version is not a Nexus edition, but features Samsung’s TouchWiz UI, so it will have an updated schedule matching the regular Verizon model. The Nexus edition, on the other hand will get quicker updates.

Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 Release Date – Brought Ahead to May 23rd From may 30th

The gadget world has one very common characteristic, and that is shifting of dates, be it the launch of a new device or some update to be released, often with no reasons specified for the shift. However, it’s quite rare for the dates to be brought ahead. The latest instance of this can be seen in the case of Verizon which was scheduled to launch the Samsung Galaxy S4 on May 30th though for reasons known only to insiders, it has now been re-scheduled to May 23rd. Those who have pre-ordered the S4 couldn’t have asked for more. The shift has been confirmed by Ken Muche who hails from Southern California and is a Verizon representative.

Meanwhile, May 30 seems to be the day when the gadget would be made available across retail locations. However, the trend is not limited to just Verizon as AT&T too had delivered the Galaxy S4 to its pre-order customers before the official release date and before the device made it in-stores debut.

Confusion about the Verizon release date exists not only to pre-order customers but more than that for retailers who had stated that the device would be at their shops on May 30. May be retailers will have to stick to their schedule while it’s just Verizon launches it a bit earlier.

Another bit of confusion that persists is if the Verizon Galaxy S4 would come with 32 GB of storage or not. There is pressure from customers to have 32 GB on board, as the present 16 GB is not sufficient. Verizon till now insists that it would not change to 32 GB which its pre-order customers are supposed to be getting while almost forcing them to make up for the extra storage with a microSD card.

Verizon’s Samsung Galaxy S4 is supposed to compete against HTC One. It has a 1080p display of 5 inch size, running Android 4.2 on a quad core processor. It also carries a camera of 13 megapixel. The price tag for the 16 GB model is $250 with a $50 mail-in rebate attached. The cost of the 32 GB if it comes up from Verizon could be $250 or even $300 with the mail-in rebate being fixed at $50.

In a Twitter post, Verizon has ultimately showcased useful information on its Samsung Galaxy S4. Verizon verifies that the device will be launched around May this year. This is the first time this US carrier has tweeted something on launch of Samsung Galaxy S4.

However, fans still do not have an exact release date on which they can visit their local Verizon stores. But May 30 is estimated to be the specific date, post S4 turn up on other major US carriers.

The image tweeted by Verizon is same as the snap found on Samsung’s official site. The image showcases a Galaxy S4 with a home button devoid of official Verizon logo and minimal branding. So, it is a plain Samsung Galaxy S4, different from former Verizon gadgets.

It is evident that Verizon is creating suspense with patience. The carrier will be highlighting the gadget with official Verizon tag later. Only 30th May has been estimated to be the official release date for Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 via a leaked folio of retailer staples.

There were no tweets over the price to be charged by Verizon for S4. Fans are hugely anticipating the release of Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4.

Samsung Galaxy S4 possesses 1080*1920 pixels screen display. It features a 13 MP camera with autofocus and LED flash. Its internal storage capacity is segmented into 16/32/64 GB and features 2 GB RAM. The smartphone will be available in shades of Black Mist and White Frost.
