Where to buy and how much will the Samsung Galaxy S8 / S8+ cost

Samsung just unveiled its brand new smartphones, the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus, and US carriers along with big retailers are wasting no time sharing details on how you can get one of them. You’ll be able to preorder either device from all four big carriers beginning tomorrow, March 30th.

The phone will be released on April 21st — less than a month from today and a few weeks after LG’s G6 widely launches in the United States. Let’s not waste any more time: here’s everything you need to know about how and when to purchase the Galaxy S8. I’ll be updating this post rapidly as all carriers announce availability details throughout the day.
