Galaxy Note 4 for AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint, and Verizon available Oct. 17; Networks cook up offers

The five major U.S. carriers will have the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on sale on Oct. 17. Days before the rollout, they have been keen on coming up with the best offers to entice customers in getting one for themselves.

Most of the carriers offer the black version and the white version, both 32GB.

AT&T is currently taking pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 4 with shipping slated on Oct. 14. The carrier commits to getting the phone to anyone who pre-orders even before it officially comes out. AT&T applies several price points corresponding to unique offers. The Samsung phablet costs $299.99 on a two-year contract, or customers can get it for $825.99 off-contract (the priciest of the bunch). With the AT&T Next 24-month installment, one can get a Galaxy Note 4 for $34.72 monthly.

Sprint has two ways for customers to get the device online. Customers can acquire the phablet through the Easy Pay program and, of course, with a contract to go. Gotta Be Mobile reports that the carrier stripped off $50 from the original $350 price, giving the Galaxy Note 4 a $299.99-price tag when tied up in a contract. Through Easy Pay, there will be no upfront payment but the pay-off will be a 24-time installment of $30 every month. In addition, Sprint offers the phablet for an impressively low price of $720 without contract.

T-Mobile is a carrier that requires no contract agreement from customers, and offers the device for a reasonable price of $749. For installment basis, it will require a monthly payment of $31 for 24 months.

Verizon has three options as well.  Like AT&T, it requires $299.99 cash out for a two-year agreement, $34.99 monthly with Verizon Edge installment plan, or a generous $699 Galaxy Note 4 off-contract price.

U.S. Cellular has yet to announce any details regarding its offers on the Galaxy Note 4, but it is expected to join the other carriers in offering the device upon the phablet's release date on Oct. 17.

The 5.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 4 runs on Android 4.4.4 KitKat powered by a 2.7-GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor coupled with a 3GB RAM. It boasts a 16-megapixel rear camera with OIS (optical image stabilization) and a 3.7-megapixel front shooter.
