Here's how much the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will cost you
Tech Insider/Corey ProtinThe Samsung Galaxy Note 7.Samsung's new Galaxy Note 7 is here, and per usual, it's big, powerful, and even has a few weird tricks thrown in.
Also per usual, it's expensive.
The first wave of pricing details for the Galaxy Note 7 have started to roll out, so here's what you can expect:
- AT&T says the device will costs $29.34 per month for 30 months if you use its AT&T Next monthly installment plan. On its Next Every Year plan - in which you can grab a new phone after paying 12 months of fees, rather than 24 - it'll go for $36.67 per month for 24 months. Either way, you're looking at $880 in payments.
- Over at T-Mobile, you'll have to drop $69.99 upfront, then pay 24 monthly installments of $32.50. So, in full, it'll cost $849.99.
- U.S. Cellular has only said the device will cost "as little as $27.80 per month" on either 20-, 24-, or 30-month payment plans. The math suggests it'll cost around $834, though the carrier's coverage is limited.
- Neither Verizon nor Sprint have given specifics. We've reached out to both, and will update this post when we hear back.
Pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 7 will begin August 3, with general availability set for August 19. Samsung also has an offer where people who pre-order can grab a 256GB microSD card or a Gear Fit 2 fitness tracker through its promotions website. In T-Mobile's case, you also have the option to get a year's worth of Netflix.
The Galaxy Note line has long been Samsung's "power user" alternative to the more mainstream Galaxy S series, so its high price shouldn't come at a shock. Nevertheless, if you really want in on that iris scanner and revamped design, know that it won't come cheap.
