Android fans outside the United States won't be able to enjoy the pure Google experience on Samsung's Galaxy S4 smartphone--at least not yet.
The stock Android edition of Samsung's Galaxy S4 will only be available in the United States at launch, CNet U.K. reports. The phone will go on sale through the Google Play Store on June 26 for $649.
Unlike the regular Galaxy S4, which comes loaded with Samsung-specific features such as S-Voice and Smart Scroll, the stock Android version has no bloatware and no interface tweaks. It runs the latest version of Android, and Google promises to deliver prompt software updates. (In the United States, wireless carriers typically distribute updates from phone makers after lengthy testing.)
The phone also has an unlocked bootloader, so hackers can easily load custom ROMs such as CyanogenMod or AOKP.
