32GB version of the Galaxy S4 comes to AT&T, priced at $250 with a two-year contract

By Andy Boxall Published May 7, 2013

If you want to buy a Samsung Galaxy S4 through AT&T, right now you’re restricted to buying one with 16GB of internal memory. However, an early report has shown that of this 16GB, only 8.8GB is available for use, as the other half is taken up by Android, its system files and all of Samsung’s weird and wonderful applications which make up TouchWiz. Yes, there is a microSD card slot to boost this figure, but internal memory is helpful on Android, and there will be many prospective owners who want a little more room on the device itself.

Step forward AT&T, as the company has tweeted that it’s coming to the rescue by stocking the 32GB version of the Galaxy S4. Samsung produces a 16GB, a 32GB and a 64GB Galaxy S4, but almost all networks have opted to stock the basic 16GB S4, so we’re confident AT&T will have plenty of interest for the 32GB phone.

However, you’ll have to pay a little bit extra for twice the storage space, as AT&T has priced the phone at $250 with a two-year contract, which is $50 more expensive than the 16GB model. It hasn’t shown up on the website yet, but it’s all set to go on sale at the end of this week. AT&T made a similar decision with the HTC One, and bagged the 64GB version exclusively, pricing it up at $300 with a two-year contract. Should the 64GB Galaxy S4 ever make it to the network, we can expect it to have the same price.

Make sure you check AT&T’s website on May 10 if you want to pick up one of the first 32GB Galaxy S4 phones to go on sale.

Galaxy S22 and Watch 4 get stunning new special editions that you can’t buy

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Diablo Edition

Samsung has announced new special-edition models of the Galaxy S22 Ultra and the Galaxy Watch 4 this week. As with most of the company's more extravagant Galaxy collaborations, both are Korea-exclusive devices. That limited availability isn't surprising, but when these special editions feature such appealing designs and extras, we can't help but wish they were more widely available.

The most exclusive special edition is the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. Already a very handsome and well-received phone, Samsung is collaborating with Blizzard to launch a tie-in model with the Diablo Immortal game. Korean publication Yonhap reports that this Diablo Immortal package comes with the Galaxy S22 Ultra you'd expect, a leather mousepad, a map, a Blizzard-designed lenticular image, a phone case, a wireless charging pad, a Blizzard Battlecoin card, a Spigen grip case, and a wooden box that holds the whole package. It's appealing, it's fancy, and you can only get the chance to buy one of the 100 models in existence by winning a lottery in a select mall in Korea. See what we mean about being exclusive?

Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra will get 45W charging, One UI 4.1

Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S22 series at its Unpacked 2022 event next month. While the company has already primed our anticipation by a sudden announcement of its Exynos 2200 SoC which will power the Galaxy S22 in certain regions, it is tight-lipped about the upcoming flagship phones. Despite that, almost all of the aspects of the Galaxy S22 series have been revealed courtesy of a wide range of leaks, with the latest one adding information about the charging speed and the software on the Galaxy S22 Ultra.

As per MySmartPrice and tipster Ishan Agarwal, the Galaxy S22 Ultra will bring support for 45-watt fast charging. It must be noted that the Galaxy S20 series was the last flagship series from Samsung to sport 45W fast charging and the company reduced the charging rate on the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy S21 lineups to 25W while adding support for the latest USB charging protocol, i.e., USB PD-PPS (Power Delivery Programmable Power Supply).
45W fast charging limited to Galaxy S22 Ultra?
MySmartPrice's leak corroborates a previous leak from another tipster, Roland Quandt, who shared the image below of the 45W charging brick for the Galaxy S22 Ultra. As expected, the charging brick will be sold separately since Samsung does not include a charger in the box of its flagship phones.
