You have to pay full price for the Samsung i9500 Galaxy S4 16GB LTA (Unlocked) (Black Mist) which costs $929.50 on presale.

Release dates are dependent upon the manufacturer and suppliers.
We contacted Negri Electronics and are waiting for a response.

Other Samsung Galaxy S4 competitors are iPhone 5 (at end of article second image) and BlackBerry Z10 (see comparison) or even the Nexus 4 .
