Just in time for school, Galaxy S 4 is available from Sprint in three colors: Black Mist, White Frost and the beautiful Purple Mirage, for $199.99 (excluding taxes) with a new line or eligible upgrade and two-year service agreement.

The award-winning Galaxy S 4 is powered by Android^TM 4.2.2, Jelly Bean, and boasts a brilliant 5-inch full HD Super AMOLED^TM touchscreen, 1.9GHz quad-core processor and access to the Sprint 4G LTE network. It also offers Multi Window, which allows the use of two apps side-by-side.

Galaxy S 4 features dual cameras: a 13-megapixel rear-facing camera and 2-megapixel front-facing camera with a Dual Camera function that allows simultaneous use of both cameras. To make it easier to share those important moments, it also includes these

• Drama Shot captures a progressive event, like a baby's first steps or a basketball player's slam dunk, in one frame.

• Eraser Shot removes unwanted objects or people from an otherwise perfect picture.

• Live Filters allow an individual to see how a picture will look - on both the camera and camcorder - before the photo is taken.

Galaxy S 4 adds new touchless navigation with innovative features that detect face, voice and motions to enable screen control.

• Air View^TM lets the user preview emails, photos in the gallery, or even the stories in Flipboard by hovering your finger over the screen.

• Smart Pause pauses a video by looking away from the screen.

• Air Gesture^TM allows the user to answer a call or skip to the next song by waving his or her hand in front of the screen.

Just as it was revealed a few weeks back, Sprint now offers a new color of the Samsung Galaxy S III, which will surely appeal to men and women who love purple. This variation, however, does not offer anything special, specs-wise, and the good ol' S 3 in Amethyst Purple is available on Sprint for $99.99 and a $50 mail-in rebate will also be honored for new customers who sign up for a two-year contract.

You will also be able to avail of it for the same price if you add a line or a new number to your existing account and these, according to Sprint, are only offered at a limited time. Furthermore, the success of the Galaxy S 4 and the demand for Galaxy S III will further determine the beloved device's price, except if Samsung releases an improved S III in the market, which is not too likely, but is not impossible either.
