Sprint made the announcement about the new colour option on Tuesday, August 13, in addition to the already available Black Mist and White Frost choices. The company appears to be ready in offering their exclusive colour choice in response to other carriers like AT&T who got hold of the red Samsung Galaxy S4 and Verizon with the brown smartphone model.

The South Korean technology giant currently has this competitive approach of offering more colour choices on their devices. The same goes for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini, a compact version of the Galaxy S4 smartphone, where additional colour choices include Blue Iceberg, Bronze Autumn and Scarlet Dawn.

The Russian tech blog Hi-Tech.Mail.ru previously leaked the images of the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini models that sport the new colour choices. The Purple Mirage colour for the Samsung Galaxy S4 at Sprint may be new but the smartphone features and internal specifications still remain the same.

The Samsung Galaxy S4, one of the successful smartphones released in the market this 2013, boasts with a 5-inch Super AMOLED Full HD screen with 1920x1080p resolution, 1.9GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, pre-installed Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system and support for Sprint's 4G LTE network.

Other impressive features and specs include the 2GB of RAM, Adreno 320 graphics processing unit (GPU), Samsung's TouchWiz UI, 16GB internal storage capacity that can be expanded up to 64GB through a microSD card slot, the power of a 2600mAh removable battery and the connectivity support for 4G LTE, HSPA+ 3G, Wi-Fi, DLNA, microUSB, GPS, NFC, Bluetooth and MHL TV-Out.
