AT&T confirms April 25 release for Galaxy S4 pre

AT&T subscribers who pre-ordered the Samsung Galaxy S4 could have the hotly-anticipated smartphone in hand by Thursday.

When AT&T began taking orders for the Galaxy S4 last week, it promised delivery of Samsung’s new flagship smartphone by the end of the month. Now, the mobile provider is rushing to get to the finish line ahead of its rival carriers.

A spokesperson for AT&T confirmed to CNET Monday that all customers who pre-ordered their 16 GB Galaxy S4 before 9 a.m. ET Monday could receive the smartphone as soon as April 25.

And, for those people who haven’t yet ordered the device, they too should be able to get the phone earlier than expected, according to AT&T’s spokesperson. Starting April 27, customers can buy the 16 GB Galaxy S4 at AT&T stores.

A CNET reader sent us an e-mail they received from AT&T with the same information.

The device, which runs the latest Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, has a super-size screen and higher resolution, more battery capacity, and faster processor than its predecessor.

Besides AT&T, several other carriers will also be selling Samsung’s new smartphone. Currently, it’s looking like T-Mobile will be the first carrier to release the device online on April 24. Sprint is expecting an April 27 release date and Verizon plans to have the smartphone sometime in May. U.S. Cellular, C Spire, Cricket, and several retailers will also sell the Galaxy S4.
