Samsung has finally taken the wraps off of its latest and greatest smartphone, the new Samsung Galaxy Note 9. The device is jam-packed with new features, a beautiful design, and, in typical Galaxy Note fashion, a massive display.

Now that the new device has been announced, you might be wondering how you can get your hands on it for yourself. After a few weeks of pre-orders, the Note 9 is now available online and in stores. Whether you’re looking to buy it through a carrier or unlocked, here’s everything you need to know about buying the Samsung Galaxy Note 9.

Unlocked

As you might expect, the Galaxy Note 9 is available unlocked. It’s available through Samsung’s website, but you can also order it through Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Target, and Walmart. It costs $1,000 for the 128GB version, and the 512GB model is $1,250. Both the ocean blue and lavender purple models are available on the site. There’s financing available, so you don’t need to pay the full price up front.
