Samsung launched its brand new Galaxy S21 series on January 14th with pre-orders going live after the virtual Unpacked event finished. Those who pre-order one of the three Galaxy S21 handsets will also snag themselves a free Galaxy SmartTag, Galaxy Buds Live, or Galaxy Buds Pro depending on the model they purchase. But which Galaxy S21 are you going to buy and where from?
Join us after the break where we run through a few of your options both Stateside and across the pond.
US
Samsung
You can cut out the middleman and place your pre-order directly at Samsung, getting a $100 Samsung credit and a free Galaxy SmartTag in the process. You can even trade-in your old handset for up to $700 which means you just need to pay a ridiculous $99 to get your hands on the new Galaxy S21 base model, $299 for the unlocked Galaxy S21+, and from $499 for the Galaxy S21 Ultra.

If you are looking to buy the Galaxy S21 outright, Amazon has you covered with the base S21 available to pre-order for $799, the Galaxy S21+ from $999, and the Galaxy S21 Ultra from $1,199. Buying from Amazon means that only the stock colorways are available but you’ll still be able to claim the pre-order freebies.

Carriers
T-Mobile
Save up to $800 at T-Mobile by trading in an eligible device and basically getting the Galaxy S21 base model for free. Which phones are eligible for the $800 trade-in? Amazingly, phones such as the Pixel 4a and the Galaxy S9 which is just plain nuts, as is the option of buying one Galaxy S21 and getting another one thrown in for free just buy adding a voice line. And just to sweeten the pot even further, you can still grab a free SmartTag as well as $200 in Samsung credit on top. If you’ve got decent T-Mobile coverage this is the no-brainer deal.
