The Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+ were just announced. Here is the whole information so far on when you can pre-order the flagships when they will be available in stores and how much will be the price.
The Galaxy S8 will cost £690 in the UK and the Galaxy S8+ costs £780, this is quite a lot more than last year's Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge, that's probably due to the falling value of the pound. By comparison, the Galaxy S8 costs just $650 in the US, as per Arstechnica.
You should also keep in mind that pre-orders are promised to ship up to 8 days further on the actual market availability of the device across most markets. So if you really want to be among the first to get the Samsung Galaxy S8 pair that's the best way to go.
Pre-orders are open currently, and in some cases, if you pre-order now you will get the phone "8 days early" on April 19. The best deals at present looks to be through Samsung itself, Carphone Warehouse, where you will get a free Samsung speaker value £100.
You can get the Samsung Galaxy S8 from AT&T (Next) which will cost you $750, while on Verizon you will get the S8 device for $720. T-Mobile is offering it for $750, while MetroPCS is offering it for $729 and on Amazon DE it is available at €800. In all of these carriers, you can now pre-order the Galaxy S8.
Samsung Galaxy S8+ is available on AT&T (Next) for $850, while Verizon is selling it for $840. T-Mobile is selling it on $850 while Amazon DE is offering the flagship for €900.
