Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Sprint version) gets a price cut, though this doesn't make it affordable

A couple of weeks ago, when Sprint started taking pre-orders for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4, it surprised its customers by asking $349.99 (on contract) for the handset - $50 more than what Verizon and AT&T are charging. Fortunately, Sprint has now lowered the price to $299.99, thus matching the prices asked by the two larger US carriers. The off-contract price of Sprint’s Note 4 hasn’t changed, so you’ll have to pay $720 if you want to buy it free of any agreement.

It’s not clear what happens to customers who pre-ordered the Galaxy Note 4 when it was priced at $349.99. Hopefully, Sprint will charge them just $299.99 in the end.

If you pre-order the Note 4 from Sprint now, the carrier will “do its best” to deliver it to you on October 17 (which, by the way, is the handset’s official launch date for the US).

Running Android 4.4 KitKat, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is packed with lots of high-end features, including a 5.7-inch Super AMOLED display with 1440 x 2560 pixels, an enhanced S Pen, 16 MP rear camera with OIS, 3.7 MP front-facing camera, quad-core 2.7 GHZ Snapdragon 805 processor, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of expandable internal memory, and a 3220 mAh battery.
