Zum Samsung GALAXY S4 Verkaufsstart hat Samsung es sich nicht nehmen lassen, wieder einige Android Apps, welche normalerweise kostenpflichtig sind, für die User zum kostenlosen Download anzubieten. Darunetr sind, wie bereits oben erwähnt, Need for Speed Most Wanted, eine Michelin App und ein spanisches Wörterbuch(???). Am interessantesten dürfte wohl aber das kostenlose Need for Speed sein.
Die Version von Need for Speed Most Wanted für das Samsung GALAXY S4 steht allerdings nur den ersten 100.000 Usern kostenlos zur Verfügung, die sich das Spiel dann aus dem Samsung Hub herunterladen. Da heißt es also schnell sein. Natürlich wird es die Version aber auch kostenpflichtig geben, und das nicht nur für das Samsung GALAXY S4.
