If you happen to have AT&T for your wireless provider and rock the carrier’s version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 it released in US shores, you know you have a very capable device in the palm of your hands. After all, the handset is the current flagship device of the Korean smartphone and tablet manufacturer which simply means that the Samsung Galaxy S4 comes with more than enough firepower under the hood to take on any task thrown at it with relative ease. Because of this, the popularity of the handset has soared off the charts with its sales numbers hitting the 10 million mark in less than a month after it hit the shelves.
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 Black Mist is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $168.00.
However, this is not the only good thing going on for the AT&T variant of the handset released in our side of the world. The Samsung Galaxy S IV also packs support for the 4G LTE network of Ma Bell which means that users of the handset have access to ultra-fast mobile internet speeds in areas blanketed by AT&T’s LTE coverage. And with the wireless carrier adopting an aggressive expansionist policy when it comes to the widening of its coverage, users of the handset now have access to a wider LTE playground.
In fact, AT&T recently announced that it is expanding its 4G LTE coverage yet again. With the recent announcement, we see the LTE network of the wireless provider get lit up in more than a dozen markets and these new locations are as follows:
- Berwick, PA
- Cortland, NY

In addition to these new locations getting a taste o AT&T LTE for the first time, the carrier is also expanding its coverage in the following markets:

With this development, users of the Samsung Galaxy S4 can now expect to see that little 4G LTE icon get lit up on their handsets whenever they are in the locations mentioned above and start enjoying the fruits of this expansion.
Going back to the Samsung Galaxy S IV, the handset as mentioned earlier is one of the more powerful handsets currently available in the market today. Powered by a QualComm APQ8064T SnapDragon 600 chipset, the Samsung Galaxy S IV relies on its quad-core 1.9 GHz Krait 300 processor and 2GB of RAM to generate the computing power it requires for a flawless performance. The handset can be had in a 16GB or a 32GB version in terms of storage capacity but if this is not enough, you can have the internal storage of the Samsung Galaxy S4 easily expanded through its microSD card slot. Display-wise, the handset comes with a 5.0-inch SuperAMOLED HD panel with a 1920 x 1080 resolution while its camera department boasts of a rear 13MP shooter and front 2MP snapper.
