AT&T to launch Samsung Galaxy S4 on April 30th

The Samsung Galaxy S4 will be launched by AT&T on April 30th. This comes directly from the carrier's website.The device can be pre-ordered with the 16GB model of the phone priced at $199.99 after a signed two-year contract. Off contract, the price is $639.99. AT&T has already said that the 32GB model would cost $249.99 with a signed contract although it is not taking pre-orders for that device yet.

Meanwhile, T-Mobile has already announced that the Samsung Galaxy S4 will be available for its customers on May 1st. The phone will be $99.99 down with monthly installment payments due for the rest of the phone's cost. Over the weekend, a leaked Staples document had a tentative May 30th launch date for the Samsung Galaxy S4 on Verizon. While this would be more than a month after AT&T's release of the phone, Verizon usually is the last to market with multiple carrier releases as the nation's largest carrier is known to rigorously test its handsets.
