Samsung Galaxy S4 shipping by end of April

Samsung's new flagship phone, the Galaxy S4, will start going on sale in the U.S. next week.

U.S. wireless carriers have started announcing prices and began taking advanced orders in anticipation of the S4's arrival.  Each wireless carrier has a different price for the Galaxy S4 but it ranges anywhere from $150 to $250, as long as you sign a contract of course.

AT&T has said it will cost $200 for a base model with 16 gigabytes of memory if you sign a two-year contract and that phones will start shipping on April 30th.

Verizon has been a little more mum on what it will be charging for the GS4 along with it's ship date, which is still a mystery.

T-Mobile has announced that it will be charging $150 for the phone and that they will start taking advanced orders next Wednesday the 24th and in-store sales will start on May 1st.

Sprint is the most expensive out of the big four charging customers $250 for the phone, however, it will only cost $150 if you are switching over from another carrier which is pretty nice if you're looking to make a carrier switch but pretty unfortunate if you are already a Sprint member.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 is the successor to the Galaxy S III, which has become Apple's biggest competitor to it's iPhone.

The Galaxy S4 is going to be boasting a 5 inch, 1080p Super AMOLED screen, bigger battery to handle the bigger screen and faster 1.9GHz quad-core processor.  It's going to also have new features and improvements to already existing features like better eye-tracking and gesture capabilities.
