AT&T and Samsung have joined forces to roll out the Samsung Galaxy S4 in the US, flashing a hue of aurora red and a price tag of $199.99. Exclusively offered by the carrier, the crimson-hued variant is presently up for pre-order. The network operator has moreover mentioned that the release date of this edition has been marked for June 14.
The aurora red Samsung Galaxy S4 is just like the regular variant, barring the difference in color. A 5-inch Super AMOLED display dominates its front panel and showcases pictures and videos in full HD resolution. Ever since its launch, the device has rocked Jelly Bean out of the box. But the manufacturer has collaborated with Google to push forth a variant with stock Android which supports the network of the carrier in question.
However, there’s a slim chance that the Google edition will come drenched in this hue, seeing as the company will be releasing its unlocked variant and the carrier will not be offering it directly. As for the camera, the smartphone’s flip side parades a 13MP snapper, whereas its front shows off a 2MP webcam. Since the Exynos 5-packed model hasn’t been destined for the considered region, the carrier-specific model will be relying on a quad core processor running at a speed of 1.9GHz.
The red-colored variant can be picked up solely with 16GB of inbuilt memory. For people with excessive hoarding needs, the phone includes a microSD card slot, with which they could hope to increase the overall space by up to 64GB. As per the OEM’s claims, the phone should proffer up to 17 hours of talk time or 12.5 days of standby on account of the incorporated 2,600mAh battery.
The aforementioned price for the aurora red Samsung Galaxy S4 will be applicable only when the device is attached to a 2-year AT&T service contract, in the absence of which it denotes a steep price tag. Along with a year-long agreement, buyers will find the handset bearing an MRP of $449.99, whereas on month-to-month basis, it can be bought at $639.99.
