Today, the company announced that seven different carriers will offer the high-end handset on their networks starting sometime this month.  And they won't even pay a lot. Thanks to a $100 discount for switching a phone number from another carrier, new customers coming to Sprint will pay just $49.99 for the flagship phone from Samsung. The Galaxy S4 is also coming to the three other major national wireless providers — AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile — and Samsung will have versions for such smaller networks as U.S. Cellular, Cricket and C Spire. Unveiled in March, the Galaxy S4 is Samsung's latest flagship phone with a 5-inch, 1080p screen, a 13-MP camera, and a powerful 1.9-GHz quad-core Qualcomm processor. The device also comes with a slew of powerful features, including TV remote control software, S Fitness for keeping track of your health and  S Translator. A dual camera mode lets you shoot from front and rear cameras at the same time.
