Sprint delays its retail launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4

Sprint is delaying its retail launch of the Samsung Galaxy S4

Inventory issues, like we told you late Tuesday night, has delayed the online sales of the Samsung Galaxy S4 for T-Mobile by 5 days to April 29th. On Wednesday morning, Sprint announced that it will not have the highly anticipated model in its stores this Saturday as originally expected. Like T-Mobile, Sprint has also run into problems with inventory. The nation's third largest carrier is still planning on taking phone and online orders on Saturday.

While no new launch date for the Samsung Galaxy S4 was announced by Sprint, the carrier did say that once supplies of the phone increase to an acceptable level, it will reschedule the phone's launch for its retail stores.

"Unfortunately, due to unexpected inventory challenges from Samsung, we will be slightly delayed with our full product launch."-Sprint
