Verizon Ships the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Early

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was supposed to be released on October 23rd, but Verizon pleasantly surprised its customers by shipping the device a day earlier. The tech magnate’s device was announced back in September and has since then stirred up a lot of hype among many tech enthusiasts due to its high-tier specs.

Samsung Galaxy Note 4 pre-orders begin shipping out

Shortly after the South Korean tech giant announced its Galaxy Note 4 last month, most US carriers announced their release dates for it, or at least hinted at them, with Verizon aiming for an October 23rd release date. The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was meant to be a primary competitor for Apple’s iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus devices, following a long trial between the two companies which was won by Samsung.

Verizon accepted pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 4 weeks after its initial announcement, but what’s important to mention here is that the American carrier never actually confirmed a particular release date but merely hinted at a few possibilities. Verizon started shipping out pre-orders yesterday, so naturally customers were surprised. Nobody really expected such an early shipping date. Currently, the Galaxy Note 4 is priced at $662.53 USD off-contract which is cheaper than the regular price set for the same device ($699).

The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 is currently one of the most costly devices in the tech industry right now, but that’s not such a big surprise considering its amazing hardware. Samsung’s latest flagship sports a 5.7-inch 1440 x 2560 pixel display, a 16MP primary camera, a 1.9GHz 8-core ARM Cortex-A57 chipset, as well as 3GB of RAM and 32GB of native storage, expandable using an external microSD card.

The device’s official release date is still shrouded in mystery, but it’s probably not going to be much longer until US carriers release it. If you’re looking for good deals, the best one you can get right now is the $200 trade-in deal which applies to the Galaxy Note 4, provided you exchange an older smartphone first. This offer applies to the pre-order and cuts off a significant chunk of the phone’s steep price tag.
