Samsung Galaxy S4 to cost Rs. 45,000 in India?

NEW DELHI, INDIA: Yes, you read it right. Barely hours after the launch on the Samsung Galaxy S4, the smartphone has already made it's way onto an online retail store.

What's surprising is that even before Samsung Electronics could announce anything on the pricing or availability of the Galaxy S4, the website claims that the device will cost Rs. 45,000.

The posting can be found on Mobile Price Dekho. The posting shows that the seller of the Galaxy S4 is a site called Maniac Store. However, the post also says that the device is 'out of stock'.

The Galaxy S4 has impressive features like a 5 inch screen with Super AMOLED display (441ppi), 1.9GHz quad-core processor/1.6GHz octa-core processor, 2GB RAM, 13MP rear camera and 2MP front camera, Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and 2,600mAh battery. The smartphone will be available in the second quarter in black mist and white frost colors.

The most interesting features, however, are Air View feature which allows users to preview videos by hovering their finger over the screen. By observing the movement of the users eyes, the Galaxy S4 automatically pauses and plays videos. The smartphone also has WatchON and Optical Reader features. Users can play music and games together using the GroupPlay feature.

Perhaps the most attractive feature would be the Dual Shot, due to which both cameras are functional at the same time. So video call can be conducted with front and rear cameras working simultaneously. The photos can be animated and audio can be added to it.

However, Samsung is yet to announce the price or launch date of the Galaxy S4. That said, if the price in India is indeed Rs. 45,000, would you be willing to pay that much for this device? Do let us know.
