We know you may be itching to get one yourself, so here’s our complete guide to getting your very own Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.

The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge come with 32GB of internal storage in the U.S. However, the MicroSD slot means that you add up to an additional 200GB if you wish. The Galaxy S7 comes in both black and gold, and the S7 Edge comes in black, gold, and silver.

Unlike Apple, which has 268 retail stores all across the United States, Samsung’s most prominent American retail presence is in its “Samsung Zone” locations, dotted across many Best Buy locations. However, this isn’t stopping Samsung from featuring the S7 on its website.

For those who want to check out the phone before putting their money down, Samsung has preview versions available for viewing at its Samsung Zone locations. The retail prices are between $620 and $695 for the S7 and between $720 and $795 for the S7 Edge, depending on your carrier.

Samsung is also giving away a free Gear VR along with a six-game bundle when you purchase either the Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge. You’ll have to claim your gift through Samsung’s promotional site and wait about four to six weeks to receive it.

Verizon

If you’re a fan of Big Red, you’ll get a free Gear VR or Gear S2 with the purchase of either a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge. If you’re switching from another carrier, Verizon will cover your termination fees.

The Galaxy S7 will run you $672 or $28 per month for 24 months, and the S7 Edge costs $792 or $33 per month for 24 months.

AT&T

AT&T customers who buy the S7 or the S7 Edge will get a free Gear VR and 6 game bundle with the purchase of either phone. Unfortunately, AT&T happens to be the most expensive of all the U.S. carriers.

The Galaxy S7 costs $695 or $23.17 per month for 30 months, and the S7 Edge goes for $795 or $26.50 per month for 30 months.

Order the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge now from:

T-Mobile

T-Mobile is offering a free Gear VR and a year of Netflix with every order. As always, T-Mobile continues to pay termination fees and other perks for any customer who chooses to jump from any carrier to the John Legere fan club.

The Galaxy S7 costs $670 or $27.92 per month for 24 months, and the S7 Edge is $780 or $32.50 for 24 months.

Sprint

Sprint might be the fourth largest carrier, but it has the best deals for the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge. Just like the other carriers, you get a free Gear VR with your purchase.

You can opt for the new Galaxy Forever much like its own iPhone Forever, giving customers the latest and greatest smartphone every year for a single monthly fee on the basis of a leasing program. If you opt for the lease, then you pay $26 per month for the S7 and $30.50 per month for the S7 Edge over 24 months.

If you don’t want the leasing program, the Galaxy S7 will cost $650 or $27.09 for 24 months, and the S7 Edge will set you back $750 or $31.35 per month for 24 months.

If you’re still hung up on buying a new phone on contract, Sprint has you covered. You can grab the Galaxy S7 for $200 or the S7 Edge for $300. Keep in mind that you’ll also pay an additional $25 per month for your monthly access charge.

As a further incentive, you get a 50 percent discount when you buy a second Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge. The deal works when you buy two Galaxy S7s, two Galaxy S7 Edges, or one Galaxy S7 and one Galaxy S7 Edge.

If that isn’t enough of a incentive, Sprint will chop your existing bill in half and take care of your termination fees if you switch carriers.

U.S. Cellular

U.S. cellular has the best price if you can afford to pay for your phone in full. The Galaxy S7 costs only $620, and the S7 Edge goes for $720. If you need an installment plan, then it will run you $672 or $28 per month for 24 months for the Galaxy S7 and $720 or $32.50 per month for 24 months for the S7 Edge.

You can also grab the S7 or S7 Edge on a two-year contract for $200 and $300 respectively.

Just like the other carriers, you’re purchase means you’ll be eligible for a free Gear VR as well.

Best Buy

Best Buy carries the AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon carrier versions of the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. As a further incentive to buy your shiny new phone from Best Buy instead of directly from your carrier, the retailer is offering a free 64GB MicroSD card with your purchase. That’s in addition to the free Gear VR offer.

The Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are available at a number of other retail stores as well, including Target, Staples, Walmart, and others. Just as you’d expect with a flagship like the Samsung Galaxy line, it will make its way everywhere in the coming weeks.

Whichever avenue you choose to buy the galaxy S7 or S7 Edge, best of luck in deciding which of these top-notch gadgets ends up being right for you.

There’s something Samsung didn’t tell you about the Galaxy S24
The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra in its launch colors.

“Look, dude, I don’t know how they are going to manage the costs of licensing from AI companies and cloud partnerships, among other associated factors. Nothing comes free.” That’s what a machine learning engineer told me a few days ago when I explained to him how Qualcomm and MediaTek are bringing some neat generative AI tricks to phones.

Well, Samsung has confirmed those fears and quietly dropped the bombshell that at least some of its snazzy AI tricks for the Galaxy S24 series phones will eventually ask you to cough up some cash. That’s going to happen next year, but we don’t know how much you'll have to pay and in what way — at least not right now.

The best Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra cases in 2023: the 15 best ones
Galaxy S22 Ultra in burgandy.

Samsung's lineup of Galaxy S22 handsets may not be the newest smartphones on the block any more, but they're still powerful (and expensive) devices with a lot to offer. If you're the owner of Samsung's 6.8-inch Phantom Black, Phantom White, Burgundy, or Green Galaxy S22 Ultra beast, you'll not want to venture out of the house unless it has a high-quality case wrapped around it.

Samsung offers a large variety of its own official designs for a custom fit on its own phone, but many other third-party vendors also got in on the action. But how do you decide which one to pick? We've got your back. Here are our picks for the best Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra cases available today.

This is your best look yet at the Samsung Galaxy S24 series
Leaked renders of Galaxy S24 series in purple.

Just over a week ago, a handful of purported real-life shots of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra appeared online predicting a slightly refined look. Now, the folks over at Windows Report have shared alleged product renders of the entire Galaxy S24 trio ahead of a rumored January 27 launch. 
It seems the in-hand photos of the Ultra trim, which appeared on X (formerly Twitter) a few days ago, were the real deal. Samsung hasn’t given any aesthetic makeover to the top-tier model -- the flat sides are here to stay, and so is the floating ring aesthetic for the camera lenses at the back.
The only two key changes are a different material for the frame and a couple of new colors. Shoppers will have the option of a new yellow shade that was recently seen on the Samsung Store-exclusive variant of its Galaxy Z flip foldable phone. Then there's a new purple trim, which looks identical to the same shade on the Galaxy S23 FE, down to the contrasting metal frame polish.
Gray and black will be the other shades on the table. The biggest change is that Samsung, following in the footsteps of the iPhone 15 Pro, is reportedly using Titanium for the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The regular and Plus variants will likely stick with armored aluminum and a glass back with Corning Gorilla Glass protection.

The rumored specification list is your usual flagship-tier affair and includes Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, a 120Hz OLED display, 12GB RAM, up to 1TB storage, and a 5,000mAh battery.
The report notes that the vapor chamber cooling system inside the S24 Ultra will be nearly twice as big as its predecessor's, which was already in a league of its own. Buyers can expect the phone to maintain its cool during demanding tasks such as gaming, high-res video capture, and generative AI-aligned tasks.
The camera hardware also remains the same as this year's Ultra phone, save for a curious change to the zoom camera. Instead of a 10-megapixel periscope camera with an industry-leading 10x optical zoom output that we saw on the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the upcoming phone is said to embrace a 50-megapixel sensor, but with a lower 5x optical zoom range.
