We have known the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 was coming to all major US carriers eventually. October was the pegged timeline for it to hit. Now Sprint is actively offering up their release date as October 17th. Along side the date they have also kicked out the pricing details. If you rock out with the Sprint Easy Pay the Note 4 will be $0 + tax and 24 monthly payments of $30. Total price, $720.
If you are looking to go that route with Sprint you can get a pre-order in on Friday September 26th.
To help out with the launch Sprint is also extending the Sprint Family Share Pack promotion. That promo offers families with up to 10 lines up to 20GB of shared data alongside unlimited talk and text for $100 a month through 2015. After the new year you can expect a $15 per month per line access charge to be tossed on.
The release doesn’t make mention of the Note Edge or the Gear VR, but we know Sprint will be carrying both as well. Any Sprint customers, or would be customers, aiming their sights on the Galaxy Note 4, or are you gonna hold out until the Note Edge gets a confirmed date?
