AT&T confirms Galaxy S4 will release for pre-orders on April 25.

 

AT&T subscribers who pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S4 could have the hotly-anticipated smartphone in hand by Thursday.

When AT&T began taking orders for the Galaxy S4 last week, it promised delivery of Samsung's new flagship smartphone by the end of the month. Now, the mobile provider is rushing to get to the finish line ahead of its rival carriers.

A spokesperson for AT&T confirmed to CNET Monday that all customers who pre-ordered their 16 GB Galaxy S4 before 9 a.m. ET Monday could receive the smartphone as soon as April 25.

And, for those people who haven't yet ordered the device, they too should be able to get the phone earlier than expected, according to AT&T's spokesperson. Starting April 27, customers can buy the 16 GB Galaxy S4 at AT&T stores.

A CNET reader sent us an e-mail they received from AT&T with the same information.
"Thank you for ordering the Samsung Galaxy S4 from AT&T," the e-mail reads. "We are excited to announce that we are able to ship devices earlier than originally expected. Customers who pre-ordered their smartphone early can begin receiving it as soon as April 25th."

Samsung's new smartphone sports an improved design over the Galaxy S3 and is packed with a ton of high-end features and specialized software. The device, which runs the latest Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, has a super-size screen and higher resolution, more battery capacity, and faster processor than its predecessor.

Besides AT&T, several other carriers will also be selling Samsung's new smartphone. Currently, it's looking like T-Mobile will be the first carrier to release the device online on April 24. Sprint is expecting an April 27 release date and Verizon plans to have the smartphone sometime in May. U.S. Cellular, C Spire, Cricket, and several retailers will also sell the Galaxy S4.

Comprehensive Comparison for Samsung Galaxy S4 & HTC One.

In 2013, It is impossible to go a full week without a new Android phone announced these days. And what are the hotest Android phones these days? The answer is obviously --- Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC one. They are the flagship smartphones for Samsung and HTC. Except for some brand crazyers, users will be confused what are the key features for each of them, then decide which one to get. Today, this post is going to show you the difference between Samsung Galaxy S4 and HTC one with features one by one.

1. Size

As the image shows in detail, you can see, the Galaxy S4 and One are roughly the same height. Then S4 is 2mm narrower and about 18 percent thicker.

2. Build materials 

 Samsung Galaxy S4 is made of plastic which may set a new benchmark for smartphone design.

HTC still did not get a breakthrough in materials, HTC one is made of metal.

3. Weight

As S4 is made of plastic, it makes a distinct good point, It is 13g lighter than HTC One.

4. Display

As you see in the below image, bothe S4 and HTC one has  1080p displays, although S4's display is a little biger, but both offer plenty of real estate.

The point need to pay attention: S4's display uses Super AMOLED technology, while the One sports a Super LCD 3 screen. Expect some hyper-saturated colors in the S4. Which one would you prefer?

5. Processor and RAM

No matter Version 1 or 2, S4 will be faster than HTC One.But as high-end smartphone engines have outpaced the performance requirements of most apps. For users, there will not be much differences.
Both of S4 and HTC One come with 2 GB of random-access memory (RAM).
6. Storage

There are 3 versions for storage with 16G, 32G and 64G. HTC one goes for 32G and 64G. Then Samsung provides a considerable expandable microSD card slot.
7. Wireless

Both S4 and HTC One supported for LTE and HSPA+.
8. Battery

S4 contains not only bigger display but also holds more juice.
9. Cameras

On paper, this looks like utter dominance for the Galaxy S4. But the notion that megapixel count is an absolute and direct measurement of camera quality is misguided.
HTC’s One may demonstrate this better than any other smartphone. The company put less pixels in the phone's sensors, but the pixels are bigger (HTC calls them “Ultrapixels”). The One also has f2.0 aperture and a 1/3-inch backlit-CMOS sensor, which HTC says will mean better performance in low light.
The bottom line: there's no single spec that can accurately compare their cameras. We'll look forward to some lengthy hands-on time, but – in the meantime – we expect both to have good to great image quality.

10. Software -- Android OS

   

In terms of core operating system, the Galaxy S4 is a full version of Android ahead of the One.
Much more obvious, though, are the custom manufacturer UIs sitting on top of Android. Samsung is pushing its TouchWiz as hard as it can, trying to distance itself from Google’s underlying OS.
Some of the most notable are Air Hover, Dual Camera, and Smart Scroll. If you intersted in new functions you may choose for Samsung S4.
