Samsung Galaxy S3 price drops precede Galaxy S4 launch


Just as expected, carriers have begun to slash prices on Samsung's Galaxy S3 handset in anticipation of stocking the bigger, fancier Samsung Galaxy S4 successor.
AT&T announced this morning that beginning today, its Galaxy S3 will sell for $99.99 with a two-year contract, an instant $100 reduction. Expect other carriers to follow suit.
Galaxy S4 preorders begin on April 16 for AT&T. The $250 in-contract Galaxy S4 cost makes the Galaxy S3 look like a bargain, a tactic that will help the carrier clear old stock to make room on the shelves for the latest model.
Bargain-hunters will still find robust smartphone features on the Galaxy S3 for a fraction of the cost, which is one compelling reason to purchase the earlier model.
Those who prefer all of the Galaxy S4's whistles and bells -- like the 13-megapixel camera, monster processor, and heaping software extras -- will have to shell out more.
