AT&T's exclusive 64GB HTC One has been priced at $300, while the 32GB model will sell for $200. It will be interesting to see if AT&T customers gravitate towards the HTC One model since it offers more storage for the same price. However, Samsung's flagship device does offer expandable memory, while the HTC flagship does not.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Rooted Before Launch

A few developers have already rooted the Samsung Galaxy S4 before its official April launch. Early adopters can check out the video below for all the necessary information one will need to gain root access to the unreleased device. The root is only for the Exynos 5 Octa model, not devices sporting Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600. According to rumors, this eliminates 70% of the initial Galaxy S4 batch shipping in a few weeks. The "octa" units are being reserved for European countries with poor LTE availability.

Both AT&T and regional carrier US Cellular announced they will start accepting Galaxy S4 pre-orders on April 16th. T-Mobile will offer the GS4 contract free, but locked, starting sometime in May. The flagship handset from Samsung will cost $250 with a two year contract. It is unknown how much the unsubsidized T-Mobile model will cost.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Coming to AT&T and US Cellular in April

Both AT&T and US Cellular will open pre-orders for the Galaxy S4 on April 16th. AT&T announced the GS4 from Samsung will be priced at $250 with a two year contract. US Cellular did not announce pricing, but the regional carrier did open a page for customers to register for a pre-order reminder.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Pre-Orders

CEO John Legere mentioned the GS4 will be available though T-Mobile around May 1st. T-Mobile has stopped subsidizing phones, meaning customers will have to pay full price for the flagship Samsung handset. However, this also means T-Mobile subscribers will not have to agree to a two-year contract. T-Mobile did not mention how much the Galaxy S4 will cost, but the carrier is selling the iPhone 5 for $99 with 24 monthly payments of $20 (or $580 over two years). T-Mobile is also offering the Blackberry Z10 for $532 ($99 down / 24 monthly payments of $18). It is safe to assume that the GS4 will feature a similar pricing plan.
