  • 32GB Galaxy S4 Release Date Confirmed

    The much awaited wait for 32 GB Samsung Galaxy S4 is over now as it would be available in the U.S from Friday, May 10th with a two year AT&T contract. Previously, the Galaxy S4 was available in 16 GB memory which kept advanced users uncomfortable as the Samsung bundled apps including touchWiz and extras wiped around 8 GB of memory.

    Although the 32 GB micro SD card is not a costly thing to buy but most of the apps cannot be installed on external memory card which in turn requires the internal memory of phone and 32 GB version would easily suffice the user needs in all aspects till date. Considering the difference of just $50 from 16GB version, grabbing the 32GB version S4 would always be a smart choice for all the advanced users and even with common users who are not in gaming or high tech apps.

    So which version are you getting?
