Even though we covered this info in our earlier Verizon Galaxy S4 story, we felt this was big enough news to share in its own separate front page news story. We have the official specs and pricing for the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4. We also want to reiterate that we have info from reliable sources that Verizon plans to ship their SGS4 "by May 30th." Here's a quote directly from our tipster, MandyMakesApps (Thanks again Mandy!):
The phone will be $249 with a $50 mail-in rebate. (Bringing the total contract price to $199.99 after the rebate)
Here are the official specs:
