Black Edition Galaxy S4 and S4 mini go global

Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S4 mini were spotted with a faux leather back a couple days ago and now, the company has officially introduced the new variants of its flagship smartphones on its global site. 

We have already lost count on the number of Galaxy S4 editions out there, but the newest one is arguably the best looking, joining the latest trend in Samsung devices. We rather like the leather-like textured covers, but if Samsung continues pumping devices with it at the same rate, it might start to wear out soon.

The Black Editions of both Galaxy S4 and S4 mini will feature new wallpapers for the home screen as well as the lock screens and will be equipped with several new and exclusive ringtones. Furthermore, all the accessories in the retail packages such as power adapter, data cable and headphones have been painted black to match the smartphones.

The minor design changes aside, the Galaxy S4 (review) and Galaxy S4 mini (review) remain identical to their original versions. Samsung says that the gorgeous looking Black Edition of Galaxy S4 and Galaxy S4 mini will go on sale in selected markets in the next couple of days, but there is no word on how much they will cost.
