Samsung Galaxy S10 price, release date, and availability

The Samsung Galaxy S10 price and release date are finally official and we now know when we’ll all be able to buy the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, and the Galaxy S10e.

The most popular phone series in the world has reached its tenth anniversary and the South Korean giant is celebrating in style with arguably the best Samsung phones yet.

All three models — not to mention the hilariously overpowered Galaxy S10 5G, which has its own section at the bottom of this post — have frankly awesome specs, gorgeous design, and are packed with features. Be sure to check out the full specs and our Galaxy S10 hands-on for more details.

As you might expect, each phone in the series — even the “affordable” iPhone XR rival, the Galaxy S10e — carries a premium price tag.

Here’s everything we know so far about the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, and Galaxy S10e price and availability, as well as all of the best early deals.

Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, and Galaxy S10e release date

Following the Unpacked launch on Feb. 20, Samsung has confirmed that the core Samsung Galaxy S10 series trio will begin shipping on March 8.

Pre-orders for the phones will be available from tomorrow (Feb. 21), and anyone who pre-orders the Galaxy S10 will get a free pair of the all-new Samsung Galaxy Buds Bluetooth wireless earbuds.

The all-new Samsung Galaxy S10e is the cheapest of the lot coming in at $749 unlocked. It’s worth noting that this is by no means a “budget” phone. The Galaxy S9’s vanilla model originally retailed for $719, so there’s no S10 option that goes below its predecessor.

The Galaxy S10, meanwhile, is priced at $899, while the larger Galaxy S10 Plus starts from an eye-watering $999, which nicely matches the base Galaxy Note 9 model.

All three phones have options with higher storage and/or RAM, but at time of writing we don’t have confirmed pricing for any of these variants. As soon as we have the info we’ll share here, but expect the Galaxy S10 Plus with an insane 12GB RAM/1TB storage to be one of the most expensive consumer smartphones ever to hit the market.

AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, Spectrum Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Xfinity Mobile will all carry the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus and Galaxy S10e on contract in both stores and online starting from March 8. If you’re looking to buy an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S10, the main trio will also be sold via Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Sam’s Club, Target, Walmart, as well as Samsung’s official store and the ShopSamsung app.

Color options vary by region and it’s likely certain colorways will be exclusive to various carriers. In the U.S., buyers will be able to pick from all color options except green. Here’s a breakdown of all the Samsung Galaxy S10 colors so far:

  • Samsung Galaxy S10: Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Blue, Prism Green, Flamingo Pink
  • Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus: Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Blue, Prism Green, Flamingo Pink, Ceramic White/Ceramic Black (8GB RAM/512GB ROM and 12GB RAM/1TB ROM only).
  • Samsung Galaxy S10e: Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Blue, Prism Green, Flamingo Pink, Canary Yellow

Until March 7, anyone who pre-orders a Samsung Galaxy S10 or Galaxy S10 Plus will get their hands on a free pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds. The Buds are Samsung’s latest true wireless earbuds and replace the Gear IconX line.

Samsung is also running a trade-in scheme where eligible handsets can be traded in for up to $550 off the price of its new flagships. The full list of devices is available at Samsung’s website here.

Sprint is offering the Samsung Galaxy S10 for $37.50 per month with no down payment (SRP: $899), the Galaxy S10 Plus for $41.67 per month with nothing down ($999), and the Galaxy S10e for $31.25 again with zero down ($749) all on Sprint Flex Lease deals.

What about the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G? Samsung’s 6.7-inch behemoth is easily the most kitted out phone Samsung has ever made. In addition to the titular 5G support, the ultra flagship packs a huge 4,500mAh battery and a 3D depth-sensing camera.

So far, Samsung has been very coy about pricing, though you can expect it to go well over the $1,000 mark. As for availability and a release date, the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G will be exclusive to Verizon for the first half of 2019. AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Spectrum Mobile, and Xfinity Mobile will all then carry the phone from “this summer.”

We’ll share more Galaxy S10 5G price and release date info as soon as we hear more from Samsung. Be sure to check out even more Galaxy S10 coverage below!
