Even with the recent success, Apple's iPhone still holds the title for bestselling smartphone, however.
Samsung also announced its decision this week to release the Galaxy S4 in some new colors. These new editions of the device include Red Aurora, Purple Mirage, and Brown Autumn in addition to the Black Mist and White Frost models that are already available.

Verizon began to sell the Galaxy S4 today. Customers can purchase the device directly through the carrier's website. The company is offering the 16GB version through its online store for $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate and a new two-year contract. Those willing to pay an extra $49.99 will receive an accessory bundle for the device that includes a silicone cover in the color of the Galaxy S4, a display protector, and a car charger.
