Samsung announced at the Galaxy S4 launch event that the latest smartphone will be available via all major carriers in the U.S. and now the company has officially released the names of those carriers, as well as the retailers who will offer the handset.
The Korean smartphone maker confirmed that the Galaxy S4 will be available from seven U.S. carriers and seven retailers. Individual carriers and retailers will announce their individual release dates for the smartphone.

Samsung did not miss the opportunity to praise its Galaxy S line of devices and boasted about the sales of the Galaxy S smartphones, which has reached over 100 million units globally.
"The Galaxy S line of smartphones has achieved momentous success with 100 million in unit sales worldwide in less than three years. This validates that we are addressing what consumers want from a smartphone," said Dale Sohn, president of Samsung Telecommunications America. "The fourth generation of Samsung's flagship device builds upon the tradition of excellence and provides consumers with even more innovation that simplifies and redefines the way individuals will interact with their Galaxy S 4. We believe this device will be a true companion to all aspects of a consumer's life from work, to travel and even watching TV."
