When and where to buy the Samsung Galaxy S20

Share

Samsung in early February announced its latest flagship smartphone series with the Galaxy S20, and its siblings, the S20 Plus, and S20 Ultra. All three phones are offered in a variety of color options with varying amounts of memory and storage combinations.

Editor Note: We will update this post with additional information as it becomes available.

Customers won’t have to look hard to find the Galaxy S20 phones as they’ll be offered through numerous wireless carriers and retailers. And, of course, there’s always the unlocked models you can purchase directly from Samsung, too.

Here, we help spell out what you can look forward to when it comes to when and where to buy the Galaxy S20 phones. Just about anywhere you look you’ll find carriers and retailers offering discounts and deals on the Galaxy S20 line.

Pre-orders First

The Galaxy S20 phones don’t even arrive until March so you can’t get your hands on one just yet. With that said, you can reserve your spot in line at Samsung’s website. Pre-orders officially kick off February 21.
