After the grand release of Samsung Galaxy S4, the curiosity is high on its availability date and possible price.

There are separate rumours circulating on the web forums out of which one, reported last day by The News Tribe, estimated a 600 to 650 Euros device for Italy.

Now some other speculations regarding prices and availability in United States and United Kingdom, the two major smartphone markets, have emerged.

According to the Stuff Magazine,the Samsung’s US edition website quoted the price around $ 580 without a contract. The device is likely to hit American stores in the end of April or in the beginning of May.

The magazine, being a UK-based magazine, further elaborated the pricing in UK’s perspective.

“That’s around £460 (i.e. $580) in British coinage but we expect the price to be a little closer to the £500 mark once it hits UK shores, thanks to the mysterious forces of US-to-UK price tweaking.”

Despite of having such a heavy cost, it is still cheaper than iPhone 5 which is over $650 without a contract.

It is expected that Samsung Galaxy S4 will hit the UK stores on April 26th. Reports have revealed a record per-ordering for the most anticipated Android device of 2013 with many retailers believing a record sell of the smartphone.
