Game set and match. $579 is a brilliant price.

For the US that is, what about outside the US? Double standards hypocrites.

Bitch about how HTC One or Z cost outside the US but praise the price of the GSIV in the US.

INR 55 K..in India?... GS IV will not survive in India .... i can get a cool new bike with 70 Kmpl ......

XZ will pickup if this is priced at 55K. I guess ppl will start buying iPhone 5 for 40K on ebay ...

It's not double standards. Samsung has the android smartphone market cornered except for the US. With a $579 price tag in the US and probably $599.99 in Canada, it is now game over unless HTC goes $549 or lower, which they can't now since they spent so much on their own show and advertising to no avail.

649.99 iPhone
599.99 or more HTC One
$579 GS4

Pound for pound the best deal ever.

In Canada it will be worse.

$699.99 iPhone 5
$624.99 or more HTC One(using the one x price as a placeholder)
$599.99 GS4

I am not saying the Italian and Indian markets do not matter but Samsung either makes more with the Galaxy Ace type phones there or they are already Samsung worshipping countries.

i think thats because US version has Qualcomm CPU, the price is lesser than rest of the world which will enjoy Exynos one.

45. mightyillidan (Posts: 20; Member since: 24 Oct 2011)

well i fuking want it i always like qualcom procecors that samsungs and with such price i really want the us version

54. therealestmc (Posts: 472; Member since: 23 Jul 2012)

Yea, but the S600 is just as powerful as the Exynos.

18. jonartpop (Posts: 194; Member since: 25 Oct 2012)

So probably $599 or $649 after tax.

27. Rafael97 (Posts: 16; Member since: 01 Mar 2013)

In Portugal i bought the Galaxy S3 GT-I9305 (The one with Quad-Core, LTE and 2GB of RAM) for 225€ (293 US$) at Vodafone on a great Sale ;) I love this phone. Now i am thinking on changing my iPad for an Android Tablet.

46. Jonathan41 (Posts: 532; Member since: 22 Mar 2012)

That was the approximate retail value. And it's still not confirmed. Good price though if it ends up being the actual price. Still rather get a HTC One though.

All you have to do is wait, Android devices are like automobiles. The moment they leave the lot, they start to depreciate. IF you don't need the latest instantly, patience will payoff in the long run.

61. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)

It pays to wait for 4-6 months on any new model.

But with the s4 you can use a micro sd card, up to 64gb, which you can't with the One x:

20. rizevnarastek (Posts: 349; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)

High capacity cards are still quite expensive here and most people don't use them (mostly some 8GB or so). Most people buy a phone from a carrier with a plan and 24months contract and buy a phone that has more built-in storage. Besides, the built-in storage is way faster and it's life span is quite longer that that of an SD card.
