14 DAY TRIAL // With just a few weeks left until Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S 4, details on the smartphone’s release in various countries have started to emerge.
According to Korean blog MT News, Samsung decided to open up pre-orders for Galaxy S 4 in South Korea one week earlier than expected.
Apparently, the smartphone will be available for pre-order in the country on April 19 at SK Telecom, LG U+ and KT retailers.
Samsung has already announced it will introduce the Galaxy S 4 in South Korea on April 25 and the smartphone will go on sale one day later.
However, this is not the only region where Samsung’s flagship smartphone will hit shelves. The cited source claims the South Korean company plans to launch the Galaxy S 4 in no less than 30 countries on the same date.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a list of countries that will get the Samsung Galaxy S 4 on April 26, but as AndroidOS points out, India will be among the first where the handset will go on sale.
Samsung was previously confirmed to launch the Galaxy S 4 in 3 countries in late April, but it turns out that the handset maker decided to offer the smartphone in 30 countries at the same time.
We also know Samsung Galaxy S 4 will make its debut in the UK on April 26 and it has been confirmed to be equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 chipset, rather than the Exynos 5 Octa 5410.
Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy S 4 would have different specs in some markets, such as quad-core processor instead of octo-core CPU.
Obviously, pricing options for Samsung Galaxy S 4 is market dependent as well, so we should wait until the official release for more info on this one.
