AT&T Samsung Galaxy S IV Heading to Stores Sooner than Expected

Good news for AT&T customers: the carrier will be releasing Samsung's newest flagship handset earlier than expected. Last week AT&T announced that it would offer the Galaxy SIV offering pre-orders with a ship date of April 30. But today, the carrier began notifying consumers that some pre-orders will arrive on April 25. The company later revealed via Twitter that the handset will be available in retailers on April 27, the same day as Sprint.

AT&T is currently offering the 16GB variant of the Samsung Galaxy S IV for $200 with a two-year agreement.
