Samsung
When you pre-order the S10 or S10+ direct from Samsung, you'll score a free pair of Samsung Galaxy Buds (a $130 value). To be fair, most — if not all — retailers and carriers are offering this freebie, although the offer does not apply to the S10e.
If you have an eligible device to trade-in, Samsung will take up to $550 off your new Galaxy phone. Phones that will get you the highest credit are more recent releases: the Galaxy S9, S9+, Note 9, Note 8, iPhone XS Max, XS, XR, X, 8 Plus, 8, LV V40, Google Pixel 3, and 3 XL.
Unlocked models are priced as follows:
- Galaxy S10e 128GB for $749.99 (Samsung, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, U.S. Cellular)
- Galaxy S10e 256GB for $849.99 (Samsung, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, U.S. Cellular)
- Galaxy S10 128GB for $899.99 (Samsung, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, U.S. Cellular)
- Galaxy S10 512GB for $1,149.99 (Samsung, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, U.S. Cellular)
- Galaxy S10+ 128GB for $999.99 (Samsung, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, U.S. Cellular)
- Galaxy S10+ 512GB for $1,249.99 (Samsung, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, U.S. Cellular)
- Galaxy S10+ 1TB for $1,599.99 (Samsung, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, U.S. Cellular)
If you don't want to pay for the devices up front, Samsung's Device Payment Program lets you finance the unlocked or carrier-tied Galaxy S10 or Galaxy S10+ for $37.50/month or $41.67/month, respectively. The S10e will cost you $31.25/month. All payment plans span 24 months.
Walmart
Walmart is offering up to $330 in freebies when you buy a Galaxy S10e, S10, or S10+ from the retailer. Pre-order an S10 or S10+ and you'll get free Galaxy Buds with your purchase ($130 value). Meanwhile, if you purchase either phone and activate it via Verizon, you'll save $150. Aside from that, however, it's not clear what other freebies the retailer is offering.
Best Buy
Best Buy is taking up to $650 off pre-orders of the Galaxy S10e, S10, and S10+ with activation and trade-in of an eligible device. The retailer is also bundling in a free pair of Galaxy Buds with the S10 and S10+.
Verizon customers can expect to save $50 on their new Galaxy purchase (contract required), whereas AT&T and Sprint customers will shave from $50 to $100 off the cost of their new Galaxy device (contract required).
If you want an unlocked phone, Best Buy is taking from $50 to $100 off the Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10, or Galaxy S10+ when you buy it unlocked and activate it the same day on Verizon ($50 off) or Sprint ($100 off).
Verizon
For a limited time, Big Red will give you a free Galaxy S10e when you buy and activate a Galaxy S10e, S10, or S10+ on their network. Alternatively, you can get $750 toward any Galaxy smartphone of a higher value. A new line is required to get in on this BOGO deal. However, no-trade in is required.
Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network is getting first dibs on the Galaxy S10 5G and you can sign up here for updates. The 5G phone isn't slated to come out until the second quarter of this year, though.
Even better, Verizon customers who pre-order the S10 or S10+ will get a free pair of Galaxy Buds from Samsung. The free buds are redeemable via the Shop Samsung app through April 4.
If you're looking for Galaxy S10 accessory deals, Verizon is taking 25 percent off Galaxy S10 phone cases. (This OtterBox case, for instance, is $12 off).
AT&T
Like Verizon, AT&T will give you a free S10e with the purchase of a Galaxy S10e, S10, or S10+ on contract. Alternatively, you can get a $750 credit towards a higher 512GB or 1TB device of your choice. If you make your purchase online, you'll also get a $100 Visa Reward card.

Sprint
Sprint is also joining the BOGO fun with Samsung's new devices. Purchase a Galaxy S10e, S10, or S10+ and get another one for free. Plus you'll get a free pair of Galaxy Buds from Samsung.
All deals require that you sign an 18-month Sprint Flex lease plan, which means after 18 months you can either choose to keep your phone and pay it off with additional payments or return it for a newer model.
In order to qualify for this BOGO deal, you must open two new lines or upgrade your current phone and open one new line. Also, if you're switching from a competing carrier, you can get a $100 prepaid MasterCard.
