Pre-Ordered - Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News

Well,
I just pre-ordered a S20 Plus this morning, can't wait to try her out!!!!!
Ordered from Samsung, got $600 trade in for my S10 Plus, also got $150
credit for Samsung Store. Seems like a good deal.
Ken

Same! S20+ on my end. Excited for it to come in. My only regret is that I planned on getting the Galaxy Watch 46mm, but wanted to look at it in-store first before placing the order because I worried it would be too big. By the time I went to order the 46mm was sold out but hey, ended up with the 42mm and a $94 watch is a $94 watch!

Got the s20+ they gave me 700$ for may note 10 that I got for 450 on black Friday. Now the wait begins [emoji16]

s20 utlra here. Hopefully something about root will be available shortly after launch

Pre-ordered from Samsung AND T-Mobile. Keeping whoever ships first and returning the other one.

From experience, Samsung will ship first!!!!!!

Saw on reddit you can get 5% off if you've never been referred before, or sign up for a new account. Get a code from your family members(Get from here: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/account/order/#/my-referrals ),
They have to have made a purchase.
or anyone is welcome to use mine: ref-eus7np
Put it in the Promo code block at check out

Have made 5 attempts to pre order, but Samsung keeps cancelling my orders with very little detail and info as to why. I've matched my name and address to what's on the card, but they still cancel them for some reason. Might have to order from Best buy or elsewhere if they don't want my business.

Will we get the galaxy buds with the pre-ordered S20+?

They give me 150$ to use in samsung store so I got them

I have not seen anything about free galaxy buds with any of the S20 phones. I asked Verizon about it today in store and they had no clue about any freebies.

I pre-ordered an S20+ today from BestBuy. They had a better offer than Verizon. They gave me $300 trade-in for my 9+ upfront, plus I am supposed to get $150 credit off my bill. They didn't say anything about the $150 from Samsung to be used at Samsung.com. Verizon only offered $300 off not all at once but spread out over 24 months, beginning after 2-3 months. No stacking the $150 deal from Samsung on top of the $300 off. I did have to pay $63 in taxes on the $899. total purchase price. And I will have to pay a $40 setup fee to Verizon. That's a scam. Thanks Verizon.

Hi,
Amazon has the free buds deal.

Hi
My expected delivery from Samsung says March 6th.
Anybody have anything earlier than that?????
Ken

I have pre-ordered mine last week Friday...According to what I read the release date is 6th of March....I then have to wait for delivery that could take 5 - 1- working days....so sad to wait so long...at least I get the buds+ with the phone...must just redeem it from Samsung members app

The earliest date will see is March 6th that is release day, that being said Samsung has sometimes shipped early to get ahead of the rush but you won't know that till you get a tracking number they will never state an earlier date.

Preorder with pixel 4 trade (bought for 399 traded for 600!) Got 150$ bonus for accessories.
Mine says delivered by March 5th ?

I had the same problem they cancelled two of my orders which made no sense. It turned out they turned me down for the credit which was only $22.73 a month for 24 months. The reason was I'm not paying for anything on credit at this point everything I have is paid off. So what I ended up doing was paying $541.00 using my credit card which was excepted. The reason I went with Samsung is I wanted a unlocked phone and they gave me $700.00 dollars trade in on my Note 10 and $175.00 dollars to spend in there store so I got the ear buds.

One X was $50 lower. They'll likely open preorders soon. Worth waiting and seeing before committing elsewhere at full price.

Not for me. My family and I are on a 4 line family plan, i'm opening a 5th line to get this at the discounted price that way when my daughters line is up for upgrade (in July) I will just have her plan ported over to the new line and drop her old line so we're back down to 4. I'd rather handle this at a local store/branch just in case any issues arise.

Yep Yeah, that caught my eye too, but oh well, as long as I get my phone i'm good.
With Target announcing a one week delay in launch, and now Costco doing the same, I hope Best Buy still kicks it off as planned on the 21st. Anybody heard anything?
Haven't heard anything different yet. I hope we don't see any delays. I'm very anxious to get my phone lol

Same here....I called Best Buy Mobile a couple hours ago to see if they could give me an order status and maybe a solid launch date...I got neither. Oh well, I'll follow up on the 21st and go from there. I'm done wondering and worrying

$50 google play credit with purchase of Nexus device

Correct, but these were all sold out now, and it is still only 11/27 so none of these were eligible for the $50 credit which states it must be purchased from 11/28-12/1

Thats quite subjective, its 11/28 over here already and I'm sure the rep would let it pass by being only several hours if you're on the west coast. You ordered weeks ago.
I wish I could get it when I buy it from T-Mobile tomorrow, lol.
And now its finally sold out on all 4 models.
edit: its back
Just my opinion but with as bad as this launch has been, Google should be offering this promo to anyone that was able to even buy a N6.

Is this just through Google when you purchase your phone or do you get it also when purchasing from a carrier?
Yeah Google and Moto failed at the N6 release. I just finally got a working N6 today. I should be able to get the $50.00 dollar Play Store credit!

That is technically a $50 credit to make up for Sprint charging $50 more for 32GB version... if Sprint is dropping the ball Google felt they do not want to drop it and offered this.
If someone orders via Google Play, then great, but all who purchased devices from google play should be eligible since return policy still applies until 14 days are up... but, who would return the phone back because of $50 credit...
I may sweet talk their rep into getting the credit since they are shipping me the replacement due to Vertical and horizontal lines banding on my initial phone I got...
Besides that this phone is an absolute phone of today's market!!! Must have, and yes it is big
I called google about this a few hours ago. I told them I had ordered my nexus on Nov. 5 and just recently saw the $50 play credit. They transfered me to a nexus 6 device rep and he wasn't able to give me the $50 because i got it before the promo but he hooked me up with a $25.

Confirmation After Choosing New Batch(Battery Fix) Replacement
UPDATE 9/2/2016:
Samsung Issues Statement About Faulty Devices:
https://news.samsung.com/global/statement-on-galaxy-note7
Samsung is committed to producing the highest quality products and we take every incident report from our valued customers very seriously. In response to recently reported cases of the new Galaxy Note7, we conducted a thorough investigation and found a battery cell issue.
To date (as of September 1) there have been 35 cases that have been reported globally and we are currently conducting a thorough inspection with our suppliers to identify possible affected batteries in the market. However, because our customers’ safety is an absolute priority at Samsung, we have stopped sales of the Galaxy Note7.
For customers who already have Galaxy Note7 devices, we will voluntarily replace their current device with a new one over the coming weeks.
We acknowledge the inconvenience this may cause in the market but this is to ensure that Samsung continues to deliver the highest quality products to our customers. We are working closely with our partners to ensure the replacement experience is as convenient and efficient as possible.
T-Mobile Acknowledges It & Issues Refunds-Future Exchange:
https://newsroom.t-mobile.com/news-and-blogs/samsung-note7-update.htm
Earlier today, Samsung announced that it has stopped sales globally of the Galaxy Note7. T-Mobile has suspended sales of the device in all channels.
We are working closely with Samsung as they are finalizing details of their exchange program for the Note7, and we want to make sure T-Mobile customers are taken care of as Samsung works to resolve this.
Starting immediately, customers who are concerned about using the Note 7 can return the device to T-Mobile for a full, complete refund. They’ll get a full refund of anything paid for the device and any Note7 accessories. We’ll waive any restocking charges and shipping fees, and customers can keep the free Netflix subscription they received with purchase during pre-order.
Customers can visit their local T-Mobile store where they bought the device or call 611 or 1-800-937-8997 to do this, and they can then use their refund to choose a similar device or any device in T-Moble’s stores, including a new Note7 replacement which we expect to be available in the next two weeks.
We will update this statement as we have more information from Samsung regarding their exchange program for customers.

You will get it before in store release. Happens every time.
For reference, I preordered the s7 Edge from T-mobile on February 24th, and received it March 3rd, so 8 days. If we preorder the Note7 today on the 2nd, and same timeline applies, we'd get it delivered on the 10th. (obviously these timeframes are totally speculative on my part)
They have a habit of shipping phones 1-2 weeks prior to formal launch

Not on the initial preorder offer. Your options are:
-Gear Fit 2 [Estimated Worth ~$179.00]
-1 Year Netflix [Estimated Worth ~$110]
-256GB microsd Card [Estimated worth ~$249.99 (assuming it is the 256GB evoplus)]
From the text:
For those making the smart decision to pre-order the Galaxy Note7, you can choose between a 256GB microSD Memory Card to store all the pictures and video you take while skydiving, a Samsung Gear Fit2 wearable to respond to texts or track your step count while rocky mountain climbing, or a year of Netflix – over a $110 value
I think I'll choose the 256 card as it has the most $ value.
I also wish it was a free gearvr offer, but I'm not complaining
You normally get your phone a week after pre-order. Every Galaxy phone I decided to pre-order I've got before the store released it.
Just had to say it again, that 256GB Card is a really nice perk. I usually buy the max storage card for my phone anyways.
$850
-$250 256 Evo Plus Card
-$20 samsung pay offer
= $580
Considering I sold my s7 edge for $550; I'm almost getting paid to upgrade..
Whoops, I now have to buy a new GearVR (USB-C) so I'm out an extra $100

How do trade ins work towards a preorder? Do I send my phone back in the shipping box and they credit my account or EIP of new device? They probably won't be looking for the charger either I am assuming.

Doesn't that usually happen AFTER the pre order period?
What do you guys think would be the better method? Online or in store for pre ordering. I just don't want their pre order website to crash and have my position pushed back lol

I figure the site can crash just as easy as their POS system if demand is high enough. The bonus I figured was that pre-order online (maybe just t-mobile) is happening tonight. I also think you have more flexibility in store as far as where it gets shipped and so forth.
I'm on the fence about jumping on it now and hoping it ships before the 19th. In my case I would be hoping for it to ship prior to my trip to Toronto on the 15th, so a full 6 days earlier on the thirteenth.
During the S7 launch did they wait to announce the buy one get one deal on the day of release or a couple days before? Does anyone remember?

How do trade ins work towards a preorder? Do I send my phone back in the shipping box and they credit my account or EIP of new device? They probably won't be looking for the charger either I am assuming.

Seems from what @charlieb620 said it is credited to your account, not to the eip when you do it online.

Yeah it goes to your bill. That is what happens when I normally trade in a device.
I would just call in and talk to someone

First the Note 7 mess, now the Samsung Promotions debacle.

I ordered 3 S8+ phones from Verizon on March 30.
2 phones ship, but with 2 day air (my plan includes next day air) due to VZW rep screw up.
The 3rd phone they send an email telling me that they need more info, but nothing in the email says what they need. I get a call on the 15th and they say they need my credit card number. I told them I entered it, and it even appears on my order receipt they emailed me. Rep said they dont have it so I give it to them. They cancel my order! Then place another one (without mentioning that of course). And yes, the moron changed it to 2 day air.
2 phones get delivered on the 20th and I register right away for the Samsung promotion and choose the $99 offer on both.
3rd phone delivers today, no option to select the $99 dollar offer on that.
VZW wants to call Samsung and see if they can get them to honor the promo I missed out on due to VZW incompetence. Of course I know its not gonna happen. After an hour, the rep says she cant hold any longer for Samsung and tells me to email her when I hear from them. Another hour later, I give up.
I check the status of my orders and one says processing the other says approved. Nothing mentions paying the $99.
I have a feeling that none of them are going to happen.
What a useless promo. They had such a severely limited amount that you not only had to preorder on day one (like a lot of us) but then you also had to hope your carrier didnt screw up (like VZW), and then even though you get to select it, then you still could be out of luck.
Samsung, you blew it again. I thought the Note 7 , and the replacement Note 7 was a mess and pain in the @ss..... now this crap?
apples and oranges.
Just saw this on the Samsung website when checking my promotion status and trying to pay for the $99 bundle.

As a twist, I was able to click buy for the $99 promotion. It wouldn't let me add my credit card to samsung pay(not supported), wouldn't let me click on paypal(gave an error), and wouldn't let me just pay with my credit card (said the info was invalid). Then, my phone battery died. Now, It says the promo isn't valid. It says my submission has been approved and it's processing gift. But, since I never got to pay anything... I have no clue what is happening.
I ordered mine from Samsung website on the 17th of April. Got the $99 Bundle and both phone and bundle arrived yesterday.

I registered for the free VR and got approved for the $99 bundle? Can't get through to promotions on the phone. Tried 3 times and stayed on hold 2 hours each time with no one answering. Emailed, no response. Tried online support, took an hour to get a rep and he told me to call the 1-800 number.

Promotion is still available for me too....wish I had the extra cash!
I submitted my registry and under check status it shows that I chose the immersive package, but I'm still not approved and have no way to pay. On the Samsung website it says they're sold out did to high demand. I will be seriously bummed if I lose out since I pre ordered the first day and registered the first day I got my phone.
I checked the shop app. There was an option to buy the fully immersive bundle at $99. I bought and it. My card was authorized and I got a confirmation email.
The order shows up as confirmed in my Samsung order page as well.
I don't see any way this compares to batteries exploding. It sucks but at least you still have your phone.

I just got off the phone with the rep. I was told as long as you claimed it before it ran out you should be in the clear and just have to wait for the email to pay for it. I claimed mine on the 19th and and have not gotten the option to pay for it yet. The rep pushed my request up to the next left for faster processing, but said I had claimed the 99 bundle while they were available.

I hope that is true that if they approved you then your in the clear. I got my email approval two days ago but each time I try to purchase the bundle I get an error stating it couldn't be added to the cart try again later. Probably because they are sold out. Fingers crossed I can still get it.

I find this frustrating--that they "sold out" of the promotion on the day the phone was released (for those of us picking them up in person anyway).
The headphone/memory card promotion was part of my decision to buy the phone, and it turns out they only have 50,000?! Maybe that was in the fine print somewhere, but it should have been prominently displayed on the promo page--"The first 50,000 customers get this offer."

If that's true, I'll be totally stoked. We'll see when the email links start rolling out. Like you guys, I'll be bummed if that's not the case.

750,000 preorders so thats what ... 6%?
Samsung then altered that deal by allowing their preorders to get the promo at the time of preorder. Then they let the carriers choose the date the phones were delivered, further screwing up the possibility of anyone being able to get the promo.
If they had restricted the delivery to opening day, or not allowed themselves the perk of letting those who preorder with them the ability to get the promo ahead of others who ordered on the 30th (you could order form Samsung on the 16th and be guaranteed a promo but if you ordered from a carrier on the 30th you were unlikely to get it).
Yes I'm pretty pissed of about it and samsung doesn't care

I ordered my Sprint version from Samsung. That way I can use their financing.
While chatting with them I asked if the Sprint ship date was correct and they had no answer. Samsung says they'll ship by the 11th. But no one will know for sure until you have a tracking number.
Do you know if Sprint is offering the $425 credit for the note 7 users? I'm trying to get it through Samsung, but my S8+ is not on the list of acceptable devices. I don't want to have to deal with selling it on Swappa.
I pre ordered mine through Sam's club, get the same free stuff and I'll get a 200 dollar gift card from them as soon as I pick it up!

They are NOT offering the $425 credit. The only things they are offering atm are the promo gifts and 50% off credit as new line only
I pre-ordered the black unlocked version from Samsung with a trade in of an s6 for $425, free sd card, sprint sim, and wireless charger, $20.00 off VR headset (note 8 edition), $50.00 off dex station. My total was still only $750. I did the 24-month account with Samsung. The phone without the VR headset and dex station was going to be $26/month and with for $32/month so I went with the extras...it's only $6 more per month. Now I have to look for some screen protectors and cases. And now to sell my s7 edge on eBay...hehehe.

Mine says it will ship by 9/11. This happened on the Note 7 and most received theirs 2-4 days before availability. I'm sure that we will have them anytime the week before release.
I ordered mine directly from Samsung to take advantage of the extra $125 off they're offering because of the Note 7 recall. I do believe Sprint is currently stating they'll ship on 9/5 and Samsung is saying they'll ship on 9/11. I'm ok with waiting a few more days for the $125. My total, with all of the goodies was $572.
I didn't order the unlocked version, I ordered the sprint version... I wonder if that was a fatal flaw although I'm not planning on switching as I have 3 other phones still under contract until 2018...

Yes, they are to previous Note 7 owners.
They are taking quite a few phones in as trade...... But not the S8.
