Over the past few months, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has been one of the most heavily rumored smartphones of 2013 and it has all culminated in an announcement today in New York where the device was finally shown off on stage in the flesh for the first time. The phone is essentially exactly what we saw leak out today.

The Samsung Galaxy S4 will be released at the end of April for some carriers.

It comes with a large 5-inch 1080p full HD display, quad-core processor, 13MP camera, 2,600 mAh battery which is removable, and a design that looks quite a bit like the Samsung Galaxy S3 that arrived last year. And while hardware and specifications are important, the big thing that consumers have been wondering about is when they can get a hold of the Galaxy S4 online and in stores.

Samsung announced today, confirming previous rumors, that the Galaxy S4 would start rolling out to carriers at the end of April. Samsung has not yet confirmed any of the carriers but already we’ve heard from a few that say they will have it at some point in the future. They include Three UK, EE in the UK and Ting, a MVNO that uses Sprint.

The company did say that the device will be arriving for a grand total of 327 carriers in 55 countries around the world meaning that most big name carriers will likely be on board.

The Galaxy S4 will sport 4G LTE, which means that it will have fast data speeds in the U.S.

AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless will all be getting the Samsung Galaxy S4 with Sprint confirming the release for sometime in the second quarter of this year. The second quarter consists of April, May and June.

What’s more is that Samsung has promised the device with 4G LTE data speeds which means that it will be coming with faster data speeds than typical 3G data speeds.

We’ve heard that the U.S. may not get the Galaxy S4 until May or June and given the end of April release date for the device, it’s certainly possible that that’s the timing that consumers will have to deal with.

    Looks really good but the battery is somewhat disappointing considering the Motorola Droid Maxx has been out for some time.

      You should be able to swap it out for a huge extended battery if you want but the thickness and weight can turn off some people

        We used to all sound the same, but then British people wanted to sound pretentious and rich. They developed the accent, not us.

    It’s total BS that the US probably has to wait until June to get this (with a mid-March event). Why is Apple still the only one that gets this right!!? This should be on US store shelves in early April. It’s just unbelievable that Samsung can’t properly launch a phone! Shameful BS!

    Here’s to Verizon releasing it DEAD LAST, with the worst specs possible, and slapping that ugly logo on the front AND back of the device.

    In response to Samsung’s new Galaxy S IV, Apple is working on a “Thought” phone feature. You can operate the iPhone simply by making thought commands. However, not to be outdone, Samsung will unveil some time this Fall a “Wish” phone. Called the “Alladin,” it will grant the user only 3 wishes, then you’ll need to buy a new one. Ah ha! It also knows that you’re thinking. Unfortunately, you can’t wish for a new one. That feature is only available with a 5 year contact.

    This sucks.. My contract is over on May 4th and I will be switching carriers. I will have to settle for the GS3 because Samsung decided the US should wait longer..

      Seriously Boolshet? Your contract ends in May, and you will not wait into June to get this phone? I guess you deserve only the GS3 if you can’t wait a month for something so much better.
      This is how children act. How old are you anyway?

      The octa core processor is for international versions. The US version is a quad core Qualcomm snapdragon
