Pre-Orders for Samsung Galaxy S4 Begin April 16

For everyone who has been chomping at the bit to get their hands on the new flagship smartphone from Samsung – you’ll just have to wait a little longer. Samsung has announced that the Galaxy S4 will be available for pre-orders beginning on April 16th, for AT&T service.
The phone will sell for $250 with a new two-year contract agreement. This is more expensive than recent launches of popular phones, as the Galaxy SIII and Apple’s iPhone 5 were both priced at $200 on launch.
As for when the S4 will appear on other carriers is still largely up in the air. While T-Mobile will offer the phone beginning on May 1, Sprint and Verizon have not yet released details for pre-ordering or general availability.
Samsung introduced the S4 to the world with a long and somewhat confusing debut in New York City earlier this month, but did not announce specific availability at that event.
