Now that the Samsung Galaxy S4 has been out about three months in the US, the handset has settled down in price. That is due to several factors. Samsung’s strategy was always to make the Galaxy S4 more affordable than the iPhone 5, the phone’s number one rival, and that continues to be the case. But with recent handsets like the HTC One and LG Optimus G Pro hitting the mobile marketplace, Samsung wants to keep the Galaxy S4 selling at the record-breaking rate it began.
The Samsung Galaxy S 4 Black Mist is available for a reduced sale price now starting at $149.99.
The handset sold 10 million units globally faster than any other phone for Samsung, reaching that lofty number in less than 30 days. The GS4 is currently available from select retailers from around $129 to $159 from multiple wireless carriers online. And if you have not purchased your Galaxy S4 yet, give yourself a pat on the back. Aside from the lower retail price the best selling Android smartphone carries, Samsung will give you a 50% off accessory coupon when you register your new Galaxy S4 at their website.
The coupon will be sent to your e-mail box, and you can register your Galaxy S4 smartphone whether you bought it when it launched, or you pick it up now at the lower retail price. After you register your phone with Samsung, you will receive an e-mail coupon for 50% off of any accessory priced at $50 or lower. This means picking up another set of ear buds, a case or some other accessory not only allows you to personalize and customize your phone, but also puts half of the accessory’s purchase price back in your pocket.
Being able to use the coupon only on accessories priced at $50 or lower might limit your options just a tad, but Samsung recently released a brand-new extra battery and charger kit that qualifies, you can always grab a multifunctional multimedia desktop dock, as well as plenty of ear buds, chargers and other products. When the Galaxy S4 arrived, it did so amidst a lot of hype and anticipation. The handset consistently ranks as the number one or number two bestseller in the United States, along with the Apple iPhone 5.
But unlike the iPhone 5, the Galaxy S4 delivers special contextual awareness features that allow you to scroll your screen, answer your phone, pause and restart videos simply through hand gestures, or by looking at the display or away. And the wafer-thin 0.31 inch (7.9 mm) profile joins a lightweight 4.59 ounce (130 g) weight to make for a slim and light device. The display runs a large 5.0 inches, and achieves Full HD status with 1,080 x 1,920 pixel resolution. Pixel density is extremely high at 441 pixels per inch, and a quad core 1.9 GHz central processor powers the phone. 2.0 GB of RAM memory is on board as well as a microSD slot, and the rear facing 13.0 megapixel camera offers several special effects and customization options.
