The firm always lands new phone with the latest features, and it is famous for making quality smartphones across the globe. Though the price will be little high, customers believe in its products and buy them as soon as they are available to purchase.

The prices will depend on the full purchase, two-year carrier contracts, and installment pricing conditions. All will vary as per the network carrier. We may see new and renewal two-year contract pricing. However, many US carriers are moving away from contracts for Samsung Galaxy S8 and Edge.

T-Mobile was the first of the four to so. Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint will follow the same footsteps in years to come. This can be the good prediction for consumers because the initial contract price for GS8 and GS8 Edge will be around $299 and $349 respectively. But, the installment pricing would be fairer for customers as it will be like $35 per month for a period of 24 months.
