Original article, April 25, 2019 (7:14AM ET): We’ve known for a while now that Verizon will bring the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G to the U.S. as a timed exclusive. Now, the company has launched pre-orders for the 5G smartphone, so what will the damage be?
The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G has a starting price of $1,299 or $54.16 per month for two years, according to the pre-order page. This gets you a 256GB model, while the 512GB variant will set you back $1,399 or $58.33 per month for two years.
Samsung’s 5G phone will be available in Majestic Black and Crown Silver — those hoping for green, blue or even yellow colorways are out of luck. Verizon’s pre-order page also notes that the phone will be delivered by May 16, 2019, while an official press release confirms it’ll be available in-store by that date as well.
Samsung and Verizon are also tossing in a few extras for pre-order customers, as they’ll get Samsung Galaxy Buds and a Samsung Wireless Charging Battery Pack.
The carrier also used the occasion to announce 20 cities that will get ultra wideband 5G coverage before the end of the year. These cities are: Atlanta, Boston, Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Des Moines, Denver, Detroit, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Little Rock, Memphis, Phoenix, Providence, San Diego, Salt Lake City and Washington DC.
