S4 Release Date Speculation - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Has anyone else noticed that in some of the snapshots of this phone, like the ones used to advertise the cases being released for it, the screen shows a date of April 22nd?
I also saw a case on Amazon that said it would be in stock April 20th.
Could there be any basis in the rumor that the GS4 is going to be released on April 20th/22nd/sometime during that week?

What is the point if realeased 20 21 or 26 april???

Good looking out...and who has an upgrade in April? Oh yeah

This guy has an upgrade in April, too!! I've never had a smartphone and I'm sick of being behind the curve, so I am buying whatever is the latest and greatest.
New car, new apartment, new phone, new start to life

One more month to go. I think S4 will reach Malaysia earliest by July. Still a long time to wait...

I really hope it comes out in April or in early May. I don't want to wait that long I wish Verizon would hurry up and announce the release date!

I've had my upgrade since December. I'm tired of waiting for this sucker.

Does anyone know when models with greater than 16gb of built in storage will be available? I've noticed all the ones up for pre-order are 16gb here in the UK, I called Vodafone because their website wasn't working, and they said best they can do is let me know when they know. Does anyone else know?
Thanks.

any word on sprint SGS2?

Last I heard it was suppose to be a late July release, but it's already July 6th and I've heard no word. How far in advance do phones usually get announced? 1 month?
Bump.

There's some talk of a release on July 24th, but have yet to hear anything concrete regarding this though. Also would be 30 days exactly for first day Evo3D adopters so it would allow them to trade the E3D right there for the S2. Who knows hopefully some news will come out soon.

London Galaxy Note Launch

Does anyone have any details about this launch which I understand takes place on the 27 Oct?
Go to Clove.co.uk
Check oit Clove.co.uk, they've been accepting pre-orders since 10/13/11. The buzz WAS it's release date would be November 1 - but it looks like they've done a 360 and are now stating it release could be 11/17 as originally announced.
I pre-ordered cuz of the earlier release date, they've already charged my card:, and now I don't know a damn thing!
I'm so confused

I'm not sure what they are planning to do. Would be nice with a live stream. I would love to see it and see if they are saying anything about ICS update.

Has Clove contacted you and said the release date is now pushed back? The site says it is "TBC".

It seems Clove is now saying that the release date is now "early-mid November" which is very disappointing. However, according to their Blog, anyone who accepted an invitation to confirm their order on the basis of a release date of 1 Nov can get a refund. If the original 17 Nov proves to be the actual release date then I'm not sure it is worth asking for a refund and risk not getting delivery on the 17 November or even before Xmas because you will have lost your place in the queue.

Clove are saying it could be "early-mid November" so it could be earlier than 17 Nov.

Do you think there is going to be a huge demand for this phone? I figured the price alone would hurt its sales. I haven't even put a pre-order in yet, as I figured places would have plenty of stock. What are people's thoughts on availability??
Hmmmm ........
I thought it was released already..... I know a couple ppl have them already wonder how they did that both in U K
Either way Looking to get one as soon as possible......
It's looking like mid November possibly later. Touch Wiz has to be able to handle Ice Cream (rumor.)
The release date still hasn't been confirmed. I have pre-ordered from expansys which says could be available on 28th. That's the next day of Samsung's 27th announcement.

Third party vendors on the german amazon claim to already have it in stock. However my "original" amazon will be delivered in "1 to 3 weeks".

Hm, I was thinking that too - in about a month this device will sell at least 20% below release date prices. By that time there would be reliable root and a decent Touchwiz ROM. An AOSP ICS ROM will also likely appear before the end of November.
Problem is, demand is going to pick up with the Christmas shopping madness, so prices will not be dropping as fast in December.
I will probably get myself one of tthese Notes towards the end of Jan. - the usual retail capitulation time of year. Will not pay over 400 euro for a smartphone - even 400 is ridiculous.
By that time I guess it's going to be clear if you guys early adopters like it.
Here is a site giving more details of the London Launch.

I don't think the device will drop 20% in 2 month. I took a look at SGSII, the price is still high, dropped 100 EUR in a year. Note might not sell the same number of phones, so you might be right, but phones don't lose value until around 4-6 months.(Unless Samsung announce: NO ICS FOR NOTE ) aftar that you et it for free

It is not being sold by Amazon UK, but by a third party dealer called Soteluk who are located in Germany and who are quoting a delivery date of 3-18 business days, so not necessarily an earlier delivery than UK based retailers such as Clove.

Ad that Verizon model is realesed on the 21st

Maybe this is wishful thinking and I know that this is probably just an error but just recently I saw a Verizon ad on here that said the phone is to be released for Verizon on the 21st. Has anyone else came across this? Also one thing to note is that when I clicked on the link it took me directly to the Verizon pre order page

That would be a very interesting leak if true. I wonder if it is just taking the date of when the phones are starting to release in the US and putting a random company preorder page link in each time. I however, have all ads blocked so I'd never see that banner.
They did say BY July 9/10... So there might be a chance? It's all wishful thinking at this point. Lol

We can dream... and that's about it.
But GOSH what a dream.
Well one of the early rumors said the 28th as release. So I guess it's possible. By this point though I'm just waiting for an email saying my order has shipped and hoping I'm not having to wait over a weekend to get it.
My friend pre ordered one from radio shack and they told him it releases on the 21St. They called him a while after he pre ordered that he could pick up on the 21st

does this mean it will be RELEASED that day, or the release date will be announced that day?
Since they are not announcing it till the evening I would think the earliest it would be on sale would be the next day. They may just say the dates it will be available with each carrier.
I highly doubt (unfortunately) that it will be released the day of or after. Think the GS3, the announcement was quite a ways, if memory serves, more than a month prior to the release on my carrier, Verizon. I think we may be waiting quite a while after the announcement. Here's hoping I am wrong.
October 24th? I was hoping it would be released by that time :/
my upgrade is up on monday. so do i cave in and get a GS3 (my current phone is 3 years old and barely usable), or wait it out for the note 2?
I know they want to make this a huge deal, but I'm thinking just giving us the dates would be way more hype than a party could create.

+1 well until they said midnovember. We basically already know when its coming out.

If I remember correctly TMO got the GS3 about a week before everybody else got it, so it could mean a possible Halloween release for the Note 2 on TMO based on a Nov 11th date. Would be nice since they released, then canceled the original note all the sudden. Seems like that would be a nice way for TMO to make-up for the mistake of a release of the Note1. Would make for a nice treat, but of course this is just speculation.
dang just release the thing already

Apple just doesn't tell you anything until its time to release, haha.
It works for them though because nothing else uses iOS so you won't buy another device because there were no details about the next phone. I'm already eligible for my upgrade. Had Note 2 details not have leaked I'd have the GS3 by now. Besides if Samsung launched within two weeks of an announcement I'm sure apple would sue for stealing the idea.
Hopefully they'll give some dates when they launch it on the 24th. Should be sooner, but at least now we have a date.
Better if the dates leak earlier. Also if it is our phone and not a new tablet announcement.
US Cellular states that they will have it ship out at the end of Oct, for pre-orders.

HTC One On Sale in USA (Pre-Orders and Arrivals)?

With all this excitement over in the U.K. and Europe about the HTC release, we Americans are patiently awaiting some kind of news of a release date here. To my knowledge, there has been no update from AT&T, T-Mobile or Sprint since the initial HTC unveiling last month.
With whom and where in the USA did you make your pre-order, find a fully working demo, find an announcement for a release date, or receive your first HTC One?
No release date for US version yet
There is no information for the US version but I am also waiting big time.
I had a preorder from Hantec.uk but now the release date has been pushed back to at least March 25 so I have until then to see if the US version will come out soon after. If it is close I will just cancel my order and get from the US so I can also get the ATT warranty on the phone.
they said we are first priority, but i dont believe that, i feel like they are going to wait until the gs4 is released so they can release it at the same time, they did the same **** with the vivid when the gs2 came out.
HTC would have been so better off if they could have sold it's flagship phone before the Galaxy S4 takes over the Ad's. Too bad for HTC
Check out phonedog.com. They just had an article saying preorders for AT&T start today and the release date is the 21st.

I've never heard of at&t taking any phones back for a trade in. Sure you get a lower price signing up for a 2yr contract but not a trade in.
Also while HTC did have a hand in brokering the deal, they are not the ones running the program. Clover is.
I think the program dates will either be extended or we'll see something early next week for a release the week of the 24th. Probably the former unfortunately. Either way I'm not holding my breath though.
It just sucks that HTC has said that the USA is their largest target market, and we'll be getting it at the same time as the other countries, if not later it seems.
