We all know that the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge won't be released before April 10 in the US (just like in other parts of the world). What we don't know is when the two new Samsung flagship smartphones will be available to pre-order Stateside, since there's been no official word on the matter. But a Reddit user may have revealed precious details about this.
Reportedly, Best Buy will accept pre-orders for the S6 and S6 edge on March 27. Moreover, another Reddit user (who claims to be a Samsung employee) says that customers who pre-order an S6 or S6 edge for Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint should receive a free wireless charging pad that will normally cost $49.99.
Obviously, for now we can't confirm these details. However, since Samsung is already accepting pre-orders for the S6 and S6 edge in some markets, we're expecting the same thing to happen soon in the US, too.
Off contract prices for the cheapest Galaxy S6 variant (32 GB) could start at $699.99, while the S6 edge 32 GB might cost $799.99. So, who's looking forward to buying Samsung's new Galaxies?
AT&T pre-orders are live.

Haha, let's go team 128GB. Cry with me and join in the drinking away of the sorrows of buying $1000 devices (minus the $50 case, $50 charging pad, and $100 bluetooth headset too -_-)

Yup exactly why Im getting it from Best Buy!
any chance of getting a verizon one from best buy on the 27th? or at least the free wireless pad
Just as a heads up, looks like the 128GB Edge (possible the standard as well, not sure) for AT&T is web-only. This has two implications:
1. It means picking it up in-store might not happen. And if it does, it'll probably be in limited stores.
2. It means, sooner or later, they might not offer that particular SKU at all, and it'll be the first one to go. I forget which device it was that I owned, but they had a "web-only" variant of it that was actually unobtainable after only a few months and I ended up having to get an "alternate" when I got a replacement.
Also, for anyone curious, looks like the asshats at AT&T had to put their stupid branding on the back of the device.
Preordered a regular S6, first over at my local Best Buy.
Black S6 with free black Qi charger and $50 gift card. That seriously can't be beat.

I badly want to do this deal. Unfortunately the discount arrangement I have with AT&T won't carry over if I get it through Best Buy. I am gonna go ahead and buy the wireless charging pad from them though.

Carrier is AT&T. But AT&T and Sprint are both doing this. That's the Best Buy deal going on for all preorders on the S6 and Edge. Free wireless Samsung charger and $50 gift card.

Nowhere on the Web site does it say anything about the gift card. Did you buy in store?

Kind of, I preordered over the phone this morning.
Call up and check if your local shop is doing it. It's funny I beat the news outlets to the news, and still no reporting of it has been made.
As part of the preorder deal, Best Buy forces you to purchase a $50 gift card to use towards the phone when you pick it up. Not a big deal.
Where is the best place to order an unlocked S6?

I did the same thing. This will be my first non HTC phone. Due to current reviews I'm going with this because of the camera as I use it a lot.
I have an att account. Pre paid since I already have the iPhone 6s Plus. Can I buy the note 7 at full retail from Best Buy and activate it on my account and get the free gear fit 2 or sdcard offer?
Yes

Just went to Best Buy. It's post paid only. For note 7 and7 edge.
You can't even pre order because it forces you to set up a post paid account when you pre order. Pre order is only for post paid normal $50 plus device fee for 2 years.
So I wanna pre order the Galaxy s8 plus from best buy because I can just put it on my best buy credit card. I recently just switched to tmobile but I see best buy has every carried except for tmobile. Would I be able to just buy the phone full price say from best buy through sprint and just pop in a tmobile sim card? Please let me know thank you!
If you get it directly from Samsung, you get the phone for $650 for T-Mobile and if you get a Samsung credit card it's interest fee for 24 months. Bestbuy gives you 12 months.

That deal is long gone. It also had the promo VR gear for free OR the upgrade package with the VR gear, wireless headphones, and 256mb micro sd card for $99.99. No filling out the samsung promo forms then waiting on it to ship out after you buy the phone. I'm just wondering how much of a pain it would be to get unlocked for AT&T. Mine came to $808 with tax and 2 day air and the upgraded promo package.
Been to 2 Best Buys and 1 Best Buy mobile today. I am on a commercial account so I buy my phones. They said I couldnt preorder the S8+ on a Cash Purchase??? The only way they will sell it is with a new activation or an available upgrade?? I bought my Note 7 (preordered) and got a refund so what is up with this??
You can usually buy it outright from Samsung directly. If you have a Samsung store locally, head in there and pre-order it. If not, you can pre-order from their website.
Get a credit card?

It looks like you can pre order it online at Best Buy for full cash
Not without a plan (on Samsung stores, bestbuy people are selling them). You can't pre order one on a comercial att account.
You most definitely CAN pre-order the s8 on Best Buy's website to buy it outright. I'm a Connections Manager at Best Buy, and I've helped 5 different people with it. Best Buy WILL charge your card for the full amount up front, though.
Edit: If you meant an actual CASH purchase, then I'd just buy enough Best Buy gift cards to cover to cost, and order it using those.
I ordered it from Samsung. Yes I did mean with a credit card. The 2 Best Buys I went to told me that I couldnt online either. So I just went direct.
Hello guys! I just bought samsung galaxy s8!
In my galaxy app, I got Tumi back cover worth 60$ for free!
Also I got 100gb space on OneDrive!
Are there any other offers with any apps or accessories I can use with s8?
The Verizon S8+ comes with two or three offers that I know of and have redeemed. One is a $250 prepaid Visa card you get through Samsung Pay for setting up your account. You get points added which you can use for the Visa card or anything else you prefer, I believe. The other is a free Mophie JuicePak, which, IIRC, you get when signing into Samsung+ and registering your device. Oh, and 2GB bonus data, though I don't remember where I got that. And there's one more, though I wouldn't call it "free;" you can get a "free" tablet, but you have to pay sales tax and stuff. Whomp whomp whomp.
