Samsung has launched the GALAXY S4 with LTE in Singapore. The Android smartphone will be available from 27 April at S$998 in Black Mist and White Frost.
The S-View Cover(S$98) comes in many colours and has a window to display key information. The Flip Cover (S$68) comes in the same colours but without the window.
The Samsung GALAXY S4 was first unveiled in New York last month and brought to Singapore for a preview to the media two weeks ago.
M1, SingTel, and StarHub, as well as the Samsung Experience Stores had begun accepting registration of interest from interested consumers yesterday.
Upon collection, consumers will receive a GALAXY S4 With LTE Limited Edition Accessory Pack (worth S$160) consisting of a car charger, desktop dock and HDTV adapter, while stocks last.
Accessories for the GALAXY S4 With LTE at launch include the S-View Cover (S$98 in black and white) and Flip Cover (S$68 in black and white).
Key highlights of the Samsung GALAXY S4 With LTE are listed below.

Singapore is the first South East Asia market to launch the Microsoft Surface RT tablet computer. Both the 32GB (S$668) and 64GB (S$798) versions are now available in Singapore at 20 Challenger stores. Price list within.
Microsoft Surface RT tablet has just been launched in Singapore.
Microsoft describes the Surface RT as “a tablet with some laptop capabilities”.
One big selling point is that the tablet ships with Microsoft Office Home & Student 2013 RT – which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote.
Hands-on
Physically, the Surface RT feels light at 680g and is only 9.4mm thin (275 x 172 mm in size).
Integrated kick-stand to prop the tablet up in landscape mode.
There is an integrated kickstand that folds out behind the tablet – allowing it to stand in landscape orientation.
Unfortunately, the stand doesn’t work in portrait orientation so you’ll have to hold it with your hands instead.
The keyboard doubles up as a cover to protect the 16:9 widescreen high-definition display (10.6-inch ClearType HD touchscreen display with 1366 x 768 pixels).
Two types of keyboard covers are available – a 3mm-thick Touch Cover for gesture-based touch typing or a 5mm-thick Type cover with traditional moving keys.
It was easy to attach and separate the keyboard/cover from the tablet.
Simply pull the magnetic connectors apart or put the edges close to each other for the connectors to snap in place.
There is a full-sized USB port and microSDXC card slot for additional storage.
The Surface RT runs on a Quad-core NVIDIA Tegra 3 CPU with 2GB RAM.
The Touch Cover is really thin at 3mm.
It runs Windows RT and works exclusively with apps available in the Windows Store.
What this means is that don’t expect any software written for the full Windows OS (Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, XP etc) to run on the tablet.
Challenger is the sole launch retailer for the Surface RT in Singapore.
Prices are listed below.
