Mobile phone users in the United States interested in the purchase of an HD Voice-enabled smartphone on the network of wireless carrier AT&T can now head over to the company’s website to grab the Galaxy S4 mini for that, in two new color versions.

The handset is now up for grabs through the carrier in Black and Pink versions, with a price tag of only $49.99 (€36) attached to it, with the signing of a two-year contract agreement.

Those who would like to purchase the new device without signing up for a contract will have to get $369.99 (€271) out of their pockets for it.

The Galaxy S4 mini (a smaller flavor of the Galaxy S4) was launched last year with a 4.3-inch qHD Super AMOLED display, a 1.7GHz dual-core processor inside, and 1.5GB of RAM.

Moreover, the handset arrives on the market with 16GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes, and a 1900mAh Li-ion battery capable of offering up to 9.4 hours of talk time.

The smartphone also arrives on shelves with an 8-megapixel camera with LED flash and auto-focus, as well as with a 1.9MP front camera for video calling. Galaxy S4 mini runs under the Android 4.4 KitKat operating system right out-of-the-box.
