The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 was announced last month at the company’s Unpacked event in New York City. Now, the device has been up for pre-orders for a few weeks with carriers shipping those orders out ahead of the official launch date – which is today. This means that beginning today, you can walk into your local carrier store of choice and buy a Galaxy Note 8 either at full retail price or on an Equipment Installment Plan (or at some carriers, on a lease). The Galaxy Note 8 is available at all four of the major US carriers, as well as US Cellular and Amazon.
While Samsung does have the Galaxy Note 8 in about four different colors, but it is only available in black and orchid gray in the US, from all carriers and retailers. It is possible that Samsung could bring another color or two to the US in the next few months, as it is something that Samsung does quite often, but for now, there are only those two colors. Samsung is also offering up some free gifts for those that purchase the Galaxy Note 8 before September 24th – which gives you a little over a week left to get in on this offer. Samsung is offering up a choice of either the Gear 360 Camera or a 128GB micro SD card and its Qi Fast Wireless Charger.
