Samsung Galaxy S4 is expected to
start retailing in select markets
from April 26. After the price in
US and UK for the much-awaited
smartphone were revealed,
there's confirmation of the price
elsewhere in Europe.
According to PhoneArena, in
Portugal the 16GB version of
Samsung Galaxy S4 will cost
689.99 Euros, or roughly Rs.
48,100. This price has been
indicated by Portuguese arm of
smartphone retailer Expansys,
which is taking pre-orders for
both black and white variants of
Samsung Galaxy S4.
As per earlier reports, AT&T will
start taking pre-orders for the
Samsung Galaxy S4 from April
16 for $250. The amount is $50
above the usual introductory
price for high-end smartphones,
including Apple's iPhone 5.
There were unofficial reports
that the unlocked Samsung
Galaxy S4 will be available for
approximately $579, but based
on the US contract pricing and
the unlocked pricing in other
countries, the actual price
should be much higher.
While in UK the customers will
have to shell 41 Pounds a
month to get their hands on the
Samsung Galaxy S4 as per the
listing by Phones4U. There are
no upfront charges to be paid if
a customer opts for this plan. It
is expected that the 4G plans
for Samsung Galaxy S4 are even
more expensive as customers
are required to pay a one time
fee of 270 UK pounds in
addition to the monthly fee of
31 Pounds.
As per the pre-order listing by
Amazon the UK customers will
have to shell out 699 Pounds
for the 16GB version of the
Samsung Galaxy S4.
There was another report on
the European pricing for the
Samsung Galaxy S4. Amazon DE
has been taking pre-orders for
the much awaited smartphone
for 650 Euros.
So far, there is no word in
regards to India availability or
what could be the tentative
price for this smartphone, but
based on the pricing in other
regions, customers should be
prepared for pricing around the
Rs. 50,000 mark.
