The apps on offer do not come pre-installed, although if there's anything that strikes your fancy, you can go ahead and install it from Samsung's own app store. Looking to buy the Galaxy Note 4? Head on to our availability page to know where you can get the device. The Galaxy Note Edge is more limited in availability, although Samsung announced earlier this week that the device will be launching in the US on November 14 for a hefty price.
Will the Galaxy Gifts promotion swing your decision to buy either device? Let us know in the comments.

Note Edge is now on sale at BestAndroidPhoneDealscom
Look at that long list of rubbish. In other words you get nothing.
Apart from Sketchbook which doesn't count as it's one of Samsung's own stock Note apps.
Bunch of junk trials hoping you'll keep paying... Except for sketchbook.

Nothing on this list is free.

Gifts? Like a toaster from a bank when u open an account. Difference is the toaster is actually useful.
The phone is close to a thousand dollars and still no earbuds. SMH, keep these awesome gifts coming Sammy! No cases? At least when apple gives gifts they are actually useful.
What do you mean no earbuds? Did Sammy not include them with the 4? They came with my S3 and N3, I plan on picking up a 4 this weekend, no buds will be quite a disappointment.

I got earbuds with my Note 4 in the box. Bought direct from Sprint.
I was thinking of going Note because I have this odd attachment to handwriting and doodling. Kinda stoked about the Sketchbook one.
It is a pretty nice app. I do not have the artistic ability to make full use of it.

It's my first time using a note and I wish I had the s-pen all along, for every funny pic I get via MMS from a friend I instantly doodle all over it and resend it to them. Cannot resist
Posted from my caseless Note4, because I believe in myself.
Good guy Samsung, take notes Google. I mean you own the Play store and can't even offer deals like this for your barebones Nexus devices if not to all of your Android users. They can't fire half if not all of their design team and marketing/sales team soon enough.
Wow...I didn't even think about that..good point sir, damn good point.
Posted from my caseless Note4, because I believe in myself.
I don't think Google is nearly as interested in making money off of the nexus 6 as samsung is from their product line. Google doesn't even make the hardware, sooooo....
Which makes it kinda worse. They can choose to tarnish or enhance the brand, mostly it has been tarnish.
With the way launches are handled, lack of extra value and even the devices themselves, Google and the Nexus have done more harm than good
Posted by my soon to be retired Note 3
Truth be told.
I think there is plenty of value with the nexus 5 and 6. Especially now with the top of the line specs, and the best OS update in mobile tech history (including IOS 7)
95% of Google's revenue and comes from advertising......they're quite a unique company. They don't need to take the same approach to selling devices that OEMs do because they're not an OEM. Theyre an advertising company that provides on line services and a mobile platform use them. Plus, they're the company responsible for the entire platform.
Besides, the nexus 6 is gonna be available on every major carrier, at least her in the US. I don't know what some people are so upset lately
I understand where you're coming from but I mainly get upset with how they handle the Play store as a whole more so than how they mishandle their app design/devices/device launches. I'm aware how they make most of their revenue but that doesn't justify their half-assed attempts in some areas of Android.
Put a nexus in there as well, then I'm sure the sales would hit the roof. Also some nuts, just because I like them - dry roasted of course.
Seriously, I don't hate Samsung nor do I despise touchwiz, I just like the banter and the people who crank out and get so protective about a piece of hardware (if you can call plastic hardware ;)) and software.
Richard D - the stage is set....
- Google is your friend
Well it's the same with every OEM fan; their purchase has to be justified and it is usually done by defending their manufacturer of choice and putting down others. I'm a Samsung Galaxy Note fan myself; but I can see good in other manufacturers' phones as well. We all should just be happy that we have a choice.

Lol just put in a free extra battery and some decent headphones....
Posted via the Android Central App
So very interesting...
These things are FREE! And no other oem is offering the same volume of free things... If this was HTC or LG offering you guys would crap yourselves with excitement and pride.
All of this.. Because an OLDER Samsung device you once had took .08 seconds longer to load a page or swipe to the right. Cut the crap you idiots.
Better to have and not need, than need and not have.
Go tell an average consumer that that list of free things is a waste of time and that they should go and get a device with none of that offered because of whatever trumped up charges you have on Touchwiz.
Posted from my caseless Note4, because I believe in myself.
How do I get these apps? I'm especially interested in the Wall Street Journal subscription. My Note 4 didn't have Galaxy Apps installed and when I tried to install it the installation failed.
Really, most of this stuff is useless to most people. All they are giving is free trails to stuff to try and make to subscribe, deals which you could probably get anyway. Bet some of these will want credit card details and automatically bill you after the trail. They need to make it a full year to actually make it worth something.
Of course, the only long term deal is also no longer that great. As mentioned above, Dropbox is useless for anyone who has already had a Saumsung phone since it won't extend the 50GB offer past the initial 2 years. Had I known this before I linked my S5, I would've used someone else's dropbox account so they could've benefit.
If these are genuinely worth something, then please get rid of them and knock it off the price of the phone. If they have no monetary value, then I'd suggest they're probably worthless!
Just because these offers maybe unless to you doesn't make it so for everyone. I'm interested in all these with the exception of Dropbox. I'm sure many find it useful though.
They're called SELLING POINTS.
If im going to be spending hundreds of dollars on a device, why not spend it on a device that gives me something back than nothing at all?
That's an average consumer mindset.
Better to have and not need than need and not have
Posted from my caseless Note4, because I believe in myself.
I'm not questioning the products themselves, it's the "savings" we're getting. Free trails are not really free stuff, it's just a way to allow you to test the service to see if you like it. I have multiple Samsung devices, can I stack these offers up and get more months free? I'm pretty sure you can't. Like people have realised, Dropbox is a one-time offer and since I got this in 2012 and it has since expired, I do not get the benefit again.
So, how many people will this actually benefit? Mostly the people buying their first Samsung devices and a few who didn't take up the offers first time round.
It's therefore good for first-time customers, not so good for the loyal ones who have multiple devices. Maybe if they were offering a discount on the monthly sub then it might seem more valuable.
The app makers and Samsung have a deal. If anyone is getting paid for this it is Samsung. It is another revenue stream for them and one that doesn't cost them anything.
Your phone price has nothing to do with these deals

@Nonexus. You should not be posting anymore, you make too much sense.:) It just doesn't fit in with SOME of the smucks posting on these boards:)
Posted via the Android Central App
Does this apply to anyone who buys the Note 10.1 2014 edition?
Posted via Android Central App
It has been out too long so I am guessing that any offers it had out are done and gone
The only remotely useful deal is the Dropbox space which I already have.... Sigh.
How hard would it be to create a new Dropbox account and just transfer stuff over? I just got an email stating that my 2 years is almost up and I have a bunch of stuff in there.
You can keep the stuff you just can't add more stuff

Nope. Continue the availability for the $200 discount. Especially since the Sprint variant was out of stock for the last two weeks.

It's not worth living with Touchwiz
Posted via Android Central App on 1+1
Stock Android is taking a lot of design ideas from Touchwiz so I'd get used to it.
What? Are you high? Pure bullshit.
Posted via the Android Central App
Touchwiz had a quick settings panel long before AOSP did
You need to take a closer look then. Not only some UI improvements, but Google is also using (asking) for some of the built in stuff from Samsung. Before you call BS, I give you Knox as an example
Thank you for proving the point that current Samsung haters don't know what they're talking about.
Posted from my caseless Note4, because I believe in myself.
What happened to Office 365 for Mobile and why is it not compatible with Note 4? I just got used to using it.
Posted via the Android Central App
I'm guessing it has something to do with the resolution - it doesn't show up in the play store for tablets either. In any case, the apk runs on the note 4 just fine.
What if you already get Audible? Do you still get free months?
Posted via the Android Central App
I'd expect that the Dropbox offer still won't work if you've ever claimed one before. e.g. I claimed it on the S3 and couldn't claim again on the S5.
I don't know which other offers that are duplicated from previous phones also won't be reusable here, as I haven't taken any of them up, except Kindle for Samsung -- that should continue to work,
It says in the listing that the Dropbox is only for new users.
That Dropbox deal was the only one on the list that is of any use to me. I got it almost 2 years ago with the note 2. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do about storage.
It has an SD card slot, so...why not just put a large SD card in it?
SD cards don't sync with all my devices.
What do I do if switch to a device that doesn't have an sd card?
What if I want to share a large file with someone and I'm nowhere near WiFi?
Dropbox isn't just about storage space, it's about convenience. To be honest, I rarely use it on my phone. Desktop/laptop is where I use it the most, automatic (full sized) picture backup, I also use an Eyefi card in my DSLR that automatically sends it to a Dropbox folder. DALR photos available on my phone without plugging anything in.
It's not "just storage" .
I had the same problem I don't want to pay for Dropbox and my free two years is running out.. So I download google drive for anything not pictures and videos... I use google + for pictures.. I deleted everything on Dropbox and I still have 3.5 gb I can use when ever I want on Dropbox...
Ironzey....use Flickr after the 2 years...it's a cloud service for videos and pictures. You get 1TB of storage for free forever
Posted via the Android Central App
The 50GB free Dropbox promo for my S3 got me hooked on Cloud storage/sync between devices. When that ended I found Drive to be the cheapest ($2/month for 100GB). Now Dropbox free space is used for picture dump/auto upload and manually backed up into Drive where all my other files reside.
If you require a significant amount of cloud storage (>25GB), you're gonna end up paying for it eventually...
I got enough points for a 12 month premium subscription to Evernote free with my NOTE 4. I'm surprised it's not on the list.
Only if spotify came free

Do people who hate Samsung becoming dumber and dumber everyday. The article clearly states that the apps don't come pre-installed.
Posted via Android Central App
Obviously an attempt to jump start sales, but it won't be enough for me to buy another Samesung phone. Maybe when they ditch KNOX and have modems that actually keep signal, I might reconsider.
What does Knox have to do with anything? You're not forced to use it. Also, considering they've sold 4.5 million units in a month, I think they're doing just fine.
He's just grasping straws
No the argument with Knox is not about use of it, but rooting and custom ROMS. Something 98.5% of users don't care about
Posted by my soon to be retired Note 3
Knox is in your Android Lollipop, it's coming for you
Posted by my soon to be retired Note 3
The only reason I'd have for purchasing a Galaxy is all this free software I'm getting with it. I mean, in all seriousness who gives a crap about Samsung hardware and software?!
I had similar offers on my S5. None of the apps were installed on my device. All of these are only accessible through Samsungs own Galaxy Store (which came preinstalled).
On the other hand, I'd appreciate disabling everything without root! Because I dont need a Car Mode, but it is always running in the background...
All useless...
Posted via the Android Central App
Why
Posted via the Android Central App
Because its Samsung

And not a single free offer I want. Expescially those liberal rag newspapers.
Posted via Android Central App
Then don't download them. They don't come pre-installed
Yes I hate the commentary that Dropbox puts out
Posted by my soon to be retired Note 3
Perhaps if you read a few more newspapers, be they left or right leaning, you could learn how to spell "especially".
You're right though, it all pretty much sucks. A trial period is a trial period. Even an extended one.
Posted via Android Central App
OMG these many apps are going to preloaded on the device.... he he he ... common Sammy we need more....
Read the article Retard. It clearly state that apps on offer do not come pre-installed. Samsung haters are becoming a joke now.
How do you expect us to take you lot seriously when you can't even read.
Posted via Android Central App
LOL, I guess reading is a skill for some folks.
And a challenge for dick heads
Posted via the Android Central App
We should go easy on these folks, some of them may be three years old. Last week my three year old daughter told me that reading is very hard when I was trying to teach her to read.

Samsung is the gold standard of bloat ware. Anyone who has a bad word to say about Samsung clearly dislikes bloatware, laggy os', poor ui's and a penchant for plastic...
Richard, I'm waiting for you.....

Hahaha

Um these offers are not pre installed on the device, they're available through the Samsung app store. Before jumping on the Samsung sucks bandwagon, please read and comprehend the article first.
"The apps on offer do not come pre-installed, although if there's anything that strikes your fancy, you can go ahead and install it from Samsung's own app store"
Next time read before you comment. You are making an ass of yourself.
I'd rather have 0 bloatware on my premium device. Best. Gift. Ever

None of this is bloat. You choose to install it. There is a reason Samsung is number one in Android...
