Verizon Wireless on Monday confirmed that it will launch Samsung’s Galaxy S4 on May 23rd, one week earlier than the release date originally announced by the carrier. Verizon confirmed the new launch date on its press site in an update to its earlier announcement, and said the Galaxy S4 will be available both online and in retail stores beginning next week. The Galaxy S4 features a 5-inch Super AMOLED HD display, a quad-core processor, a 13-megapixel camera and Android Jelly Bean. BGR reviewed the Galaxy S4 last month and said it was one of the best smartphones ever made, though we also pointed out a troubling trend in a subsequent article.
