Galaxy S7 and S7 edge prices, payment plans and gifts on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint
Samsung had only a few days gap between the unveiling of the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge on February 21st, and its appearance in the carrier stores of AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon and U.S. Cellular on February 26th for a preview, which is a pretty commendable achievement. Despite the official launch date being March 11th, the first units were shipped out shortly after preorders started, and the phones were in the hands of some users by the end of February - strike two for logistics.
That's all fine and dandy, but how much will these two puppies net you, what colors, promos and memory versions your carrier will offer? Well, the US would only get the 32 GB version of the phone, at least through the official channels, this much is certain. If you are curious about the colors, you can have the Galaxy S7 versions in Black Onyx or Gold Platinum, while the Galaxy S7 edge will color your day with three hues - the same Black Onyx and Gold Platinum, but also a Silver Titanium version added for a good measure. Check out the rest of the pricing details by carrier below.
Prices: ~$672 (Galaxy S7), ~$792 (Galaxy S7 edge)
Payments: $28/month (S7), or $33/month (S7 edge) for 24 months
Bonuses:
- free Gear S2 or Gear VR and 6 games gratis for those who order by March 18
- 2GB extra mobile data per month on XL or bigger plans with each new Galaxy
Prices: ~$699 (Galaxy S7), ~$799 (Galaxy S7 edge)
Payments: On AT&T Next 24, the carrier's 30-month installment plan, the monthly payment for the 32 GB version of Galaxy S7 starts at $23.17, while the 32 GB Galaxy S7 edge will net you $26.50 a month. Both phones will be available in Black Onyx and Gold Platinum colors, while Galaxy S7 edge could also be bought in Silver Titanium. That's roughly $695 and $795, respectively. While AT&T doesn't yet list the price to purchase the handsets outright, though we'd wager to guess it will be rounded to $699 and $799, or thereabouts.
Bonuses:
- Free Gear VR and 6 games gratis ($150 value) for those who preorder by March 18th,
- There will be a DIRECTV collaboration on the S7 and S7 edge. If you are a DIRECTV subscriber, you can now watch live TV and movies on your smartphone. The handsets' Quick Remote function will allow your phone to serve as a remote control pause, rewind, and fast forward on your TV at home, or control the DIRECTV app with Samsung’s S-Voice virtual assistant.
- BOGO offer! Get a second Galaxy S7 for free - must be using a new line with AT&T Next 24, which is AT&T's 30-month installment plan. Both phones must be added to a qualified data plan like Mobile Share Value. The latter will cost you as low as $70 a month for two phones. After three bill cycles or less, you will receive as much as a $695 credit spread out over the 30 months of the Next 24 Plan. Those funds are used to reimburse you for laying out the cost of the second Galaxy S7. If you decide to go with the Galaxy S7 edge instead, you will be responsible for the difference between the cost of that model and the $695 reimbursement from AT&T.
