Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ pre-orders
started yesterday and soon after the 5G version of the Note10+ went up on
Samsung’s online store. The Galaxy Note10 5G is nowhere to be seen, however.
In the UK, a SIM-free Galaxy Note10+ 5G
costs £ 1,100 - £ 100 more than the 4G model. You can trade in an old device and
get a discount up to £ 350. Note that to score the maximum discount, you have
hand over a Galaxy Note9 or iPhone 8 Plus.
In Germany, the currency is different,
but numbers are the same - € 1,200 for the 5G model, a € 100 upgrade over the LTE
version. Here you get € 100 for a trade-in, plus whatever the old phone is worth
(up to € 570). Again, if you want to get to the maximum a flagship Samsung or
Apple phone from last year is your best bet.
In the US, Verizon has a short term
exclusivity on the Note10+ 5G and is asking US$ 1,300, which can be broken down to
24 monthly payments of US$ 54.16. AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint will get the phone
at a later date.
In Australia, the 5G phone is available
only with 512GB storage (the prices above are for the 256GB model). That pushes
the price to a round AUD 2,000 (AUD 300 up from the 256GB Note10+ with LTE).
Aussies do get a better pre-order deal – pre-ordering any Galaxy Note10 scores
you a pair of AKG N700NC wireless headphones with noise cancellation valued at
AUD 500.
For the other countries, upgrading from
256GB to 512GB storage costs US$ 100/€ 100/£ 100.
