Last Thursday, it has been announced that the Samsung Galaxy S 4 will hit the stores on the third or fourth week of April but officials stayed mum about the pricing. However, at present their website hints at an approximate SRP of $579 for a 16 GB Galaxy S 4 but this might not be the net value.

Considering sales taxes, the Galaxy S 4 is still much cheaper than Apple's iPhone 5 and is quite close to how much the Galaxy S III was initially offered last year. We will surely be hearing about it soon from different carriers who would all want to be the first ones to announce their plans and packages for the Galaxy S 4.

Given a more affordable price than the iPhone 5, the Galaxy S 4 will really provide a tough competition to the iPhone 5 and even the upcoming HTC One.

Continuing AT&T's legacy as the first carrier to launch Samsung's Galaxy series, AT&T customers will be able to begin pre-ordering the Galaxy S® 4 beginning April 16 for $249.99* with a two-year commitment or $199.99 for a 16 GB model.

The US edition of the Galaxy S4 doesn't use Samsung's Exynos 5 Octa 5410 processor, but Qualcomm's quad-core Snapdragon 600. CPUs aside, it's not different from the Exynos version, featuring Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, a 5 inch Super AMOLED Full HD display, NFC, 2GB of RAM, 13MP rear camera, MicroSD card support, and a 2,600 mAh battery.

Few days ago, there were rumors online that the water-proof Samsung's Galaxy S4 is indeed in the making, and it might hit the shelves starting July. At least that's what The Wall Street Journal is reporting.

There was no rugged version of the Samsung Galaxy S3, but there was an S3 Mini. Sadly, despite the name, the S3 Mini wasn't a smaller version of the powerful phone, but a disappointing mid-range phone slapped with the S brand.

It's not yet known just how rugged the phone, which is apparently tentatively dubbed the Galaxy S4 Active, is just yet. But we'd be surprised if it didn't at least match the similarly hard-wearing, four million-selling Sony Xperia Z, which can be submerged under water for 30 minutes without affecting it.

The WSJ also reports that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini will be along around the same time, offering a slimmer alternative to the shrinking demographic of consumers who aren't sold on huge screen-toting handsets.
