Previous coverage: The Samsung Galaxy S10, S10e, and S10 Plus are officially on sale, and we've got all the details you need to know!
The most popular phone series in the world has reached its tenth anniversary and the South Korean giant is celebrating in style with arguably the best Samsung phones yet.
All three models — not to mention the hilariously-overpowered Galaxy S10 5G, which has its own section at the bottom of this post — have frankly awesome specs, gorgeous design, and are packed with features. Be sure to check out the full specs and our Galaxy S10 Plus review for more details.
As you might expect, each phone in the series — even the "affordable" iPhone XR rival, the Galaxy S10e — carries a premium price tag.
Here's everything we know so far about the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, and Galaxy S10e price and availability, as well as all of the best early deals.
Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, and Galaxy S10e release date
Samsung announced the Galaxy S10 lineup on February 20, 2019. Pre-orders for the devices began shortly after that date with the official retail launch date set for March 8, 2019.
The core Samsung Galaxy S10 series trio will begin shipping on March 8 in the U.S. However, you may have to wait a little longer for your device depending on which storage and color variation you ordered if you bought from Samsung directly (the delayed shipping times aren't reflected by third-party retailers like Best Buy and Amazon, so they may still ship all variants on March 8).
It's only the 128GB S10 and S10 Plus models that are set to ship later at the moment, but the potential two-week delay might frustrate some eager fans. Here's the current situation:
- Samsung Galaxy S10e – March 8 (128GB), March 8 (256GB)
- Samsung Galaxy S10 – By March 15 – 22, depending on color (128GB), March 8 (512GB)
- Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus – By March 15 – 22, depending on color (128GB), March 8 (512GB), March 8 (1TB)
Pre-orders are now over for the phones, so the only way for you to get one is to make a standard purchase.
Samsung Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus, and Galaxy S10e price and availability
The all-new Samsung Galaxy S10e is the cheapest of the lot coming in at $749 unlocked. It's worth noting that this is by no means a "budget" phone. The Galaxy S9's vanilla model originally retailed for $719, so there's no S10 option that goes below its predecessor.
The Galaxy S10, meanwhile, is priced at $899, while the larger Galaxy S10 Plus starts from an eye-watering $999, which nicely matches the base Galaxy Note 9 model.
All three phones have options with higher storage and/or RAM. Here are the current prices if you purchase them unlocked directly from Samsung. At the moment, the prices are only different based on their onboard storage; there's no word on the prices for these phones with more RAM inside.
- Samsung Galaxy S10e – $749.99 (128GB), $849.99 (256GB)
- Samsung Galaxy S10 – $899.99 (128GB), $1149.99 (512GB)
- Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus – $999.99 (128GB), $1249.99 (512GB), $1599.99 (1TB)
AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, Spectrum Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Xfinity Mobile will all carry the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10 Plus and Galaxy S10e on contract in both stores and online starting from March 8 (scroll down for more). If you're looking to buy an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S10, the main trio will also be sold via Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Sam's Club, Target, Walmart, and B&H Photo, as well as Samsung's official store and the ShopSamsung app.
Color options vary by region and it's likely certain colorways will be exclusive to various carriers. In the U.S., buyers will be able to pick from all color options except green. Here's a breakdown of all the Samsung Galaxy S10 colors so far:
- Samsung Galaxy S10: Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Blue, Prism Green, Flamingo Pink
- Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus: Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Blue, Prism Green, Flamingo Pink, Ceramic White/Ceramic Black (8GB RAM/512GB ROM and 12GB RAM/1TB ROM only).
- Samsung Galaxy S10e: Prism White, Prism Black, Prism Blue, Prism Green, Flamingo Pink, Canary Yellow

It will also offer $620 or more via bill credits when you buy one of these phones, trade in an eligible device and add a voice line. Finally, T-Mobile is offering Four unlimited lines plus four new Samsung Galaxy S10e phones for just $40 per line per month on the T-Mobile Essentials plan when you add a voice line or trade in an eligible device per line. The per-line price is with AutoPay after monthly bill credits.
Metro by T-Mobile
The no-contract carrier will sell the Samsung Galaxy S10e for $749.99 and the Galaxy S10 Plus for $999.99.
AT&T
AT&T will offer the Samsung Galaxy S10e for $25 per month, the Galaxy S10 for $30 per month and the Galaxy S10 Plus for $33.34 per month, all for 30 months. Also, for a limited time, anyone can get the Galaxy S10e, the 128GB Galaxy S10 or the 128GB Galaxy S10 Plus on AT&T and get one for free. The second phone will become free via bill credits that will total $1,000 over 30 months. The phones will also be sold via AT&T's FirstNet service for public safety agencies and first responders.
U.S. Cellular
U.S. Cellular will offer the Samsung Galaxy S10e for $24.96 per month, the Galaxy S10 for $29.99 per month and the Galaxy S10 Plus for $33.33 per month, all for 30 months. However, for a limited time, pre-orders for U.S. Cellular customers on any Total Plan, along with current upgrade-eligible customers who are on an Unlimited Plus Plan, can get 50 percent off of the Galaxy S10e, or put that amount towards a big discount on the Galaxy S10 or S10 Plus.
Xfinity Mobile
The mobile carrier subsidiary of Comcast has the Samsung Galaxy S10e for $31.24 per month, the Galaxy S10 for $37.50 per month and the Galaxy S10 Plus for $41.67 per month, all for 24 months, and all with just the 128GB storage option.

Three
The U.K carrier will offer the Samsung Galaxy S10 with a number of different plans, including one with 12GB of high-speed data for £29 upfront and £53 a month for 24 months. The Galaxy S10 Plus can be bought for the same plan for £29 upfront and £57 a month for 24 months. You can also get the phone bundled with the Galaxy Watch for £29 upfront and £67 a month for 24 months.
Best Buy
Best Buy has launched its Galaxy S10 store pages and they provide one immediate reason for buying there rather than from Samsung directly: all unlocked S10 variants are $50 less expensive than over at Samsung official, assuming you activate it that day on Verizon or AT&T. If you activate it on Sprint, you'll save $100 (T-Mobile activations aren't eligible for a discount).
However, this perk does come at the cost of slightly fewer color options. Still, here's the breakdown:
- Samsung Galaxy S10e – $699.99 (128GB), $799.99 (256GB)
- Samsung Galaxy S10 – $849.99 (128GB), $1099.99 (512GB)
- Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus – $949.99 (128GB), $1199.99 (512GB), $1549.99 (1TB)
You can get up to $550 off the S10 phones when you trade in an eligible device at Best Buy too. This means you could be walking out with a combined $600-off a brand new Galaxy flagship, and some free Galaxy Buds worth $150.
See all the terms and conditions here and find the store pages at the link below.
B&H
We'll keep an eye on B&H, but it hasn't offered any extra incentives to pre-order the new flagships yet. But you are getting the same prices as at the official Samsung site, if you prefer to give this retailer your business instead.
Amazon
The new devices are up for order at Amazon too, though the 1TB Galaxy S10 Plus model can't be found there just yet. Amazon's prices are the same as Samsung's currently, but this retailer is typically one of the first places to see price drops, so we'll be watching closely for any changes.
Samsung Galaxy S10 5G price, release date, and availability
What about the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G? Samsung's 6.7-inch behemoth is easily the most kitted out phone Samsung has ever made. In addition to the titular 5G support, the ultra flagship packs a huge 4,500mAh battery and a 3D depth-sensing camera.

The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G is now available from Verizon, with the 256GB model retailing for $1,299 or $54.16 a month for two years. Those wanting more storage can opt for the 512GB variant, retailing for $1,399 or $58.33 a month for 24 months.
Verizon is also allowing customers to trade in their eligible phones to save up to $450 (with the discount coming in the form of monthly bill credits). New customers switching to the carrier can also earn a $200 prepaid Mastercard by purchasing the Galaxy S10 5G on a payment plan and signing up for Verizon Unlimited.
Additionally, Sprint began selling the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G on June 21. The device will only be available at first in "select markets," but if you're lucky enough to live in one of those you can save $250 off the device when you lease it. That equates to $40.28 per month for 18 months (after a $13.89 monthly bill credit). You will need to be an Unlimited Premium subscriber to get the phone, too.
T-Mobile announced on June 25 that it will also sell the Galaxy S10 5G starting on June 28. The device will only be available from physical retail stores in areas where T-Mobile's 5G network is active, which as of now includes Atlanta, Cleveland, Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, and New York.
If you live in one of those areas and are a "well-qualified customer," you can grab the device for $550 down and then $31.25/month for 24 months on installment (the full retail price is $1,300).
Don't care for Verizon, T-Mobile, or Sprint? Well, AT&T, Spectrum Mobile, and Xfinity Mobile will all carry the phone from "this summer."
