Sprint today said that it will begin offering a new version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 that is compatible with Sprint Spark.
Spark is Sprint’s tri-band LTE service that offers better performance. Right now, Spark is limited to Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York, and Tampa right now, but will expand to 100 markets over the next year. The new version of the GS4 should become available over the course of the next few weeks. It will cost $199 with a new contract after a $50 mail-in rebate, or $25 per month with Sprint One Up.
The existing GS4 that Sprint has been selling since April is not compatible with Spark.
