NDTV Gadgets has learnt from its sources that the phone is likely to be priced at Rs. 43,490. Samsung is expected to take a leaf from HTC's book and market the phone carrying this as the 'best buy' price tag, though there's no confirmation of this yet. This will peg the Galaxy S4 at a slightly higher price tag than HTC One's Rs. 42,900, but given Samsung's wider dealer network, marketing clout and brand value in the country, that may not make much of a difference.

The Galaxy S4 also offers more camera features including dual-shot, employing the use of both front and back camera, an eraser shot mode to remove people from photos, and a Cinemagram like feature called Cinema Photo, among several other tricks.

Strangely, the phone does not come with FM radio. The company had recently explained this decision.
