How to preorder the Samsung Galaxy S10

neo February 22, 2019

The S10, S10 Plus, and S10E will release on March 8th


Samsung’s Galaxy S10 lineup of phones have been announced, and you can now place an order for one yourself. We have first looks of all three devices, including the Samsung Galaxy S10, S10 Plus, and the new S10E, which all will ship on Friday, March 8th. What’s the S10E, you ask? Like Apple did with its more affordable iPhone XR, Samsung is trying to tempt those who might be reluctant to upgrade to do so with a cheaper Galaxy S10 phone.
If you reserved a preorder through Samsung, your 72-hour window to finalize the order is ticking. During your purchase from Samsung, you can trade in your current phone for up to $550 in credit toward a new Galaxy S10. And, if you’re a student or teacher, you may be able to save a bit of money. Best Buy is offering a bit more: up to $650 in savings during the preorder period when you trade and activate a new line on Verizon or Sprint. No matter where you place an order on the S10 or S10 Plus between February 21st and March 7th, you’ll be eligible to receive a free pair of Galaxy Buds, Samsung’s new wireless headphones that can be wirelessly recharged with the S10 series of phones. Just a note: this offer is fulfilled through the Shop Samsung Android app, not at the carrier or retailer where you purchased the device.
We’ll continue to add carriers and retailers as preorder details become available.


SAMSUNG GALAXY S10E

The most affordable Galaxy S10 device, the S10E, starts at $749.99. That’s a $30 markup over last year’s Galaxy S9, even though this is billed as the budget model. The S10E matches the S10 with its Snapdragon 855, but it gets away with a lower price by having a smaller display that’s FHD+ instead of QHD resolution, a lower RAM count, two rear-facing lenses, among a few other differences that may or may not be a big deal to you.

CARRIER AVAILABILITY

  • Sprint will offer the S10E for $31.25 per month over 18 billing cycles as part of its Sprint Flex lease program. The carrier is offering a free S10E with purchase, paid back in monthly credits with purchase, though it requires an 18-month lease, and at least one new line and one upgraded line in your plan.
  • AT&T is offering the S10E for $25 per month ($28.34 per month for the 256GB model) for 30 months on AT&T Next. If you purchase an S10E, S10, or S10 Plus, you can get an S10E for free, though it requires a new line and credits the value of the free phone each month.
  • Pricing for the S10E at Verizon starts at $31.24 per month for 24 months. If you purchase an S10E, S10 or S10 Plus, you can get an S10E for free, though it requires a new line and credits the value of the free phone each month. Plus, cases are 25 percent off during the preorder period.
  • For T-Mobile customers, the cheaper S10E starts at $20.84 per month on the carrier’s 36-month plan. If you have a trade-in, you can get half the cost of the S10E knocked off, and up to $390 off the purchase of an S10 or S10 Plus when you open a new line.
  • During the preorder period, Xfinity Mobile is offering subscribers a $250 Visa gift card per phone purchased (up to five allowed.)

SAMSUNG GALAXY S10

The S10 is where you’ll find most of this year’s new features put to work, like its triple rear-facing cameras, the embedded fingerprint sensor, high-resolution display, and a slightly more refined design. Each of the S10 phones shares the same Snapdragon 855 processor, but this model has a bigger display than the S10E (and a bigger battery to power it) and 8GB of RAM.

SAMSUNG GALAXY S10 PLUS

If you’re after a big phone that has the most features in Samsung’s range of S10 phones, the S10 Plus is your best bet. In addition to having the same triple rear-camera setup as the S10, the S10 Plus has a second 8-megapixel selfie lens. The S10 Plus can be configured with up to 1TB of storage and 12GB RAM, which makes it the most capable phone Samsung has ever produced. Unlike the other S10 devices, the S10 Plus comes in three configurations. The bottom two configs feature a ceramic back instead of glass, which is no more resistant to cracks, but is more scratch-resistant and increases the phone’s weight to 198 grams versus 175 grams for the glass-backed models.

CARRIER AVAILABILITY

  • Sprint will offer the Galaxy S10 Plus for $41.67 per month over 18 billing cycles with a Sprint Flex lease (preorder to get the Galaxy Buds for free).

  • AT&T will lease the S10 Plus starting at $33.34 per month ($41.67 per month for the 512GB model, $53.34 per month for the 1TB model) for 30 months (preorders are eligible for free Galaxy Buds, plus you can get a free S10E, or $750 in credit toward a more expensive Galaxy device with purchase of the S10 Plus, though it requires a new line and credits the value of the free phone each month).
