OVERLAND PARK, Kan. -- (Business Wire)

The innovative Samsung Galaxy Note® 4 arrives at Sprint on Friday, Oct. 17, with the benefits of the high-speed data capabilities of Sprint Spark™ and the best rate plan options of any national carrier for individuals, couples and families.

Preorders for Galaxy Note 4 begin Friday, Sept. 26, at www.sprint.com/galaxynote4. Galaxy Note 4 will be available beginning Friday, Oct. 17, in all Sprint sales channels, including Sprint Stores, Business Sales, Web Sales and Telesales at 1-800-SPRINT1.

With Sprint Easy PaySM, well-qualified buyers can purchase Galaxy Note 4 with $0 down (plus tax) and 24 monthly payments of $30 (SRP: $720; excluding taxes; service plan required).

The Sprint $60 Unlimited Plan1 beats all national carriers, providing significant savings over competitor plans. The Sprint $60 Unlimited Plan saves customers $20 a month compared to T-Mobile's $80 unlimited plan2. AT&T and Verizon Wireless don't even offer unlimited data plans. With the Sprint $60 Unlimited Plan, consumers can talk, text and use data, knowing that their market-leading plan is one low price of $60 without surprising overage charges. (All prices exclude taxes and surcharges.)

Sprint also extended its limited-time offer for the Sprint Family Share Pack. A family with up to 10 lines, can get 20GB of shared data and unlimited talk and text for only $100 a month through 2015.3 For a family of four, that’s a savings of $60 per month versus AT&T’s and Verizon’s current pricing through 2015; double the data of AT&T and Verizon; and double the high-speed data of T-Mobile.

“Sprint is offering Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with some of the best pricing options for one- and two- line accounts with the Sprint $60 Unlimited Plan. Customers can also get double the high-speed data and up to $60 a month savings for families with the Sprint Family Share Pack,” said David Owens, senior vice president-Product Development, Sprint. “Sprint Spark unlocks powerful capabilities of Galaxy Note 4 and the beauty of its dynamic display, and these innovative features shouldn’t be limited by expensive data plans.”

Built on Android™ 4.4, KitKat, and powered by a 2.7GHz quad-core processor, Galaxy Note 4 is a powerful smartphone ideal for the mobile workforce and personal entertainment. This exciting new smartphone will be available in Charcoal Black and Frost White.

Featuring a 5.7-inch Quad HD (2,560x1,440) Super AMOLED® display, Galaxy Note 4 offers a beautiful viewing experience with stunning images, deep contrast and better viewing angles. Its large display makes it easy to be productive with Multi Window™4, which lets users seamlessly toggle between supported applications without closing a window or opening a new page. Users can choose how to access applications with full, split or pop-up screens and easily drag and drop text or images from one window to the other.

Galaxy Note 4 comes with an enhanced S Pen™ offering a writing experience that is more natural and feels like pen-to-paper. Capturing handwritten notes or drawings is fast and easy.

The two cameras on Galaxy Note 4 have been enhanced to make taking gorgeous pictures easy. Its 16-megapixel rear-facing camera features an Optical Image Stabilizer that counter-balances camera shake, low light sensors, 4x digital zoom and video capture. The front-facing 3.7-megapixel camera includes an f1.9 aperture, offering a default 90-degree shooting angle and up to 120-degree wide angle for beautiful selfies.

Galaxy Note 4 also includes:

  • International roaming – GSM: 850MHz, 900MHz, 1,800MHz and 1,900MHz; HSPA+/UMTS: 1,900MHz and 2,100MHz; Data roaming: GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSPA+ and WCDMA.

  • Mobile hotspot capability supporting up to 10 Wi-Fi enabled devices simultaneously.5
