US Cellular kicked off pre-orders for Samsung Galaxy S 4 a few days ago and stated the smartphone would ship in about four weeks.

This means that customers who pre-order the smartphone today will receive it in mid-May. Well, it looks like the carrier has just announced that Samsung Galaxy S 4 will be available for purchase later this month.

US Cellular’s decision to bring Samsung’s flagship smartphone to its customers earlier than originally expected comes in line with the South Korean handset maker’s announcement from earlier today.

Samsung issued an official statement claiming that the Galaxy S 4 would arrive in the United States at seven carriers and would be available for purchase starting April.

US Cellular has an exclusive offer on Samsung Galaxy S 4, as each customer who pre-orders the device will also get a free S View flip cover worth $60/€45. Check it out here.
