A report on Northern Voices Online says ''There is a report that the Galaxy S4 will first touch Indian market on May 10th with a projected price of Rs. 44,999. But, before that, some retailers offered to bring the device for a hefty price of Rs. 60,000, much higher than Samsung's expected price.''

Also, a recent post on Samsung Mobile India Facebook page says ''Ready to be a part of the next Galaxy?'' probably hinting towards the release of the smartphone in India. Although, Samsung is yet to announce the date of availability and the price of the smartphone in India, the smartphone is expected to be priced over Rs. 45,000 in India.

Samsung Galaxy S4 is also up for pre-order booking on Rediff Shopping and other online sellers, who are quoting a price of Rs 59,990.

However, some viewers are of the view that the Galaxy S4 should not cost above Rs. 45,000. ''Logically store prices should be around 38-40000 with MRP of 45k. Anything more than that there will be few takers in price sensitive country like ours,'' says a CIOL viewer. ''I wouldn't pay even a dime more than 40k. I'd rather choose the HTC one then,'' says another.

The specs of the Galaxy S4 are 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 black mist and white frost colors.

Some of the other features of the Galaxy S4 are Air View (allows users to preview videos by hovering their finger over the screen), eye-scroll (by observing the movement of the users eyes, the Galaxy S4 automatically pauses and plays videos), WatchON, Optical Reader, and Dual Shot (both cameras are functional at the same time).

So, going by the specs and features of the Galaxy S4, what according to you would be the apt price of the smartphone? Do let us know.
