Well, the beans have been sort of unintentionally spilled by the company’s website in the terms and conditions of an ongoing giveaway. There, each of the 48 Galaxy S4 phones that are up for grabs has been listed with an “approximate retail value” of $579.
However, the price is most probably before taxes, which are added at the point of sale. Still, the 16GB Samsung Galaxy S4 would be cheaper than the Apple iPhone 5, which currently retails for $649 SIM-free.
The official pricing of the S4 hasn’t been confirmed by Samsung yet so don't take it for granted, but $579 isn’t too far off what the Galaxy S3 cost last year when it was officially launched so.

There's no such thing as a "U.S. price" as Samsung doesn't sell unlocked devices here. They are only available through the carriers that set their own off contract prices or through resellers that import unlocked devices from other countries.

Could be, If only there was a bit more detail.
Does anybody know what the price will be within the US?
Also, should I wait a month for the price to drop? (I heard it drops after a month)... first time buying a phone out right

Sweet jesus!.. I thought these new phones start around 599.
Do you have to buy from an "authorized dealer" for Samsung to cover the phone for the warranty?

Samsung doesn't really warranty unlocked phones sold in the U.S. as they aren't really meant for U.S. retail sale.
Your best bet is just buying one outright from your carrier, Best Buy (for their warranty), or putting it on your home owner's insurance policy. You can even buy 3rd party insurance like SquareTrade.

This came up in another thread and my personal thoughts about Expansys is to wait a bit until they get their information about what they will send and when they will send it more correct. They have failed to reply to my Email (over 4 days now) about verifying the exact model #s and capabilities of the S4s they are going to sell. Do what you want, but I'm going to buy from an authorized dealer (AT&T, Best Buys, Radio shack, etc...). There are reputable dealers that use Amazon (and I presume Ebay) but I'm not going to take a chance with this kind of money.
Close to launch day, and still no news about availibility on Amazon!

So if you buy from Bestbuy unlocked phone, the warranty is from Best Buy and not Samsung? I believe this will come from third party companies, much like Best Buy extended warranty.
Now I'm curious, if I buy from Bestbuy using my American Express card, will I get the extended warranty from American Express?
S4 begin to be available in France, but still no news from Amazon :crying:
Amazon Germany is clueless as always with mobile releases.....
Not always! I had the HTC One before everyone in France ordered on amazon.de
Did someone receive the S4 from Amazon europe?
can someone tell me where can i find the phone in uk online or in stores near london without being in a monthly contract. its out of stock everywhere
I canceled my order on Amazon and purchased the phone directly from the Samsung Mobile Store in Paris, why should I wait when a physical shop had it available nearby ? Amazon just weren't fast enough to my tastes.
Phone is now "in stock" in Amazon.fr
First off I'm not trying to advertise but I'm going to sell my two black 16gb devices.
So out of curiosity what would you ask for or
What would you pay for one? Something fair obviously under googles price tag.
Assuming they are mint condition lol
Just check your local classifieds and see what they are selling for. And decide from there. Low to sell fast, high if you're in no rush.
That's definitely the best way to sell anything.

Eh. I'd say $330 for a used one in mint condition with no accessories.

Thanks for the quick replies
I have mine listed as $200 mint with sg ballistic case.
There's no local listings for nexus 5 phones and any
People that have messages me have acted like I'm asking too much?
I think that's fair considering google lists the phone new at $350
Do you guys think I'm asking a fair price based on your locale?

More than fair. It's actually too low if in mint condition. I don't think anyone's selling them that cheap.
I can only imagine they see a low price and are trying to drive you down even further.

Search eBay for completed listings so you can see what they're selling for. Also search for what the used case is selling for too. But being that it's yours, ultimately it is your decision as to what you want for it. I think $200 in mint condition + case is more than a fair asking price.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I would list it for $270
Remember that the website will charge you around
$15 between ebay and PP for total listing + post sale charges.
The fact that Google subsidies its cost, doesn't mean that we have to do the same thing again
They wont get a similar phone for that low.
I would see what they are going for on Swappa.Com (list it, it is free and their fee of $10 is added to what you ask), ask for more than that on Craigslist, and Ebay will get you more, but have higher fees.

This. Swappa is a great resource to see what phones are selling for.
I use Swappa for almost all of my tech buys and sells. It is free to list and $10 for a sell (paid for by the buyer, so if you list for $200, the buyer sees the price as $210). So you just pay shipping (and technically $10 since you lost out on buyer's $10 to Swappa). eBay takes like 10% + shipping. I always forget this until I get my eBay invoice and realize I took huge losses when I thought I broke even. I sell a $300 tablet, I end up with like $245 after eBay fees, shipping, and PayPal fees. Craigslist is good if you're in a city, but it is terrible for rural areas. Sometimes I find good deals on there, but when I'm selling, no one wants to pay me asking price.
Thanks fellas. The phones are mint.
And you were spot on when you said people kept asking for a cheaper price.
But to be honest I just sold them for what I owed to t-mobile, as I just wanted out of their
Financing because I has a bad experience on their network lol.
But they just finally sold about an hour ago. He called himself a "phone geek" so I'm sure he knew what a deal it was!!

I would suggest you to go through the online selling rates on E bay or Amazon , do a research on the maximum selling price. You would get to know the current rates I am very sure. :good:

Phones were sold about 14 hours ago.
While this didn't "specifically" break any rules with regards to selling on the site, it was very, very close. Even so much as listing the price at an almost invitation for PMs about it type of nature.
Regardless, the phones are sold, Thread Closed.

No listings at swappa. Thanks for the tip though.
I got a discount code for $50 off the price and free shipping from HTC. So off the total price was $70. Shipped price was $799 plus tax.
Prices will be better come fall season.
