It's hard to argue with free gifts, and when it comes to Samsung, it always sweetens the pot for its flagship phone prices. In the case of the Note 9 the freebies serve not for sweetening, but to cushion the $999 blow, and Samsung just swapped one set of free gifts for another, for those who get it from today onwards.
Initially, pre-order customers were eligible to receive one set of AKG Noise Cancelling headphones or a Fortnite Game Bundle, worth $150. The Note 9 buyers could also choose to receive both items for an additional $99 which made the whole thing even sweeter.
From today onwards, however, Note 9 buyers that snatch the phone directly from Samsung, can pick the new Duo wireless charger for free, plus any Note 9 cover of their choice. For extra $99, they could get those two freebies, plus the 2018 IconX truly wireless earphones, which is basically half-off for the buds. The Duo charger is $120, the IconX set is $200, and the official Note 9 covers can reach $65 for the LED one, so you are saving a good deal on a needed accessory set.
On the Visible+ Pro plan, you get access to 5G Ultra Wideband data on Verizon's fastest network. Along with unlimited roaming across Mexico and Canada, 2 days of Global Pass per month, 3x hotspot speeds, 4K streaming, and Smartwatch service.
