Here's how much Samsung's Galaxy S9 will cost in the U.S.
Pre-orders for Samsung's Galaxy S9 and S9+ start on March 2 and the phone launches worldwide two weeks later on March 16. But how much is it going to cost you to get one in the U.S.?
Thankfully, not $1,000. Samsung's new Android phones will still cost a pretty penny, but monthly installment plans help break down the full cost over a span of months.
In the U.S., the S9 and S9+ will be available in Lilac Purple, Midnight Black, and Coral Blue from AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, Verizon, and Xfinity. Cricket and MetroPCS will only have the Midnight Black model.
Best Buy, Amazon, Costco, Sam’s Club, Target and Walmart will also carry the new phones.
