The Galaxy S4 smartphones, currently available in black and white, will get a shot of color this summer.  Samsung is introducing blue and red models, followed by purple and brown.

The Galaxy S4 is available in more than 110 countries and will gradually be rolled out to a total of 155 countries in cooperation with 327 partners.
