A new version of the Samsung Galaxy S4 will begin being sold that has 16GB and the ability to connect to the enhanced LTE channels that the company has been rolling out.

The new version “enhances the current version of Galaxy S 4 with a design change to take advantage of unprecedented speeds by combining all three Sprint bands (800MHz, 1.9GHz and 2.5GHz) of 4G LTE wireless spectrum,” according to the company.

The enhanced LTE, or Sprint Spark, will enable better gameplay, and music and movie streaming.

The network is being rolled out in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Tampa, and Miami now, with the planned addition of 95 other large cities within the next three years.

$200 will get someone the new S4, with a two year service agreement and after a $50 mail-in rebate.

Owners of the current S4 won’t be able to access the new network.
