After a lot of hype and anticipation, Samsung's all-new Galaxy S9 and S9+ are here. Both phones bring a lot of new features to the table, and while there's no denying their greatness, they're not the only phones you should look at if you're in the market for a new Samsung device.
Last year's Galaxy S8 and S8+ are still fantastic smartphones, and now that the S9 series is here, you can get them for a lot less money than before. If you want to get 90% of the Galaxy S9's features while spending a fraction of its price, these are the S8/S8+ deals you need to check out.
Save $200 with activation on Verizon at Best Buy
Right now at Best Buy, you can save $200 on both the Galaxy S8 and S8+ when buying either one at the retail giant and activating them on Verizon's network.
That $200 discount is spread out as a bill credit for 24 months, and it brings down the price of the Galaxy S8 to $23.16/month (normally $31.50/month) and the S8+ to $26.66/month (normally $35.00). Whether you choose the S8 or S8+, you'll be able to get the phones in Midnight Black, Coral Blue, Orchid Gray, and Arctic Silver.
Get a $250 discount with Sprint activation
If Sprint's your carrier of choice over Verizon, Best Buy's got an even better offer for you. With a qualifying activation, you can lease the Galaxy S8 with Sprint Flex for just $8/month and the S8+ for $12/month. The Sprint Flex lease is good for 18 months, but once that time is up, you'll need to turn in your phone for something else.
For folks that'd rather keep their phones, you can save $250 on the total cost of either the Galaxy S8 or S8+ when buying them on 24-month installment plans. With this, you'll pay $20.83/month for the S8 (usually $31.25) and $25/month (usually $35.42) for the S8+.
Buy one Galaxy S8, get another for free
AT&T isn't offering any single-device discounts like Verizon or Sprint, but it does have its own promotion that might be even better. When buying a Galaxy S8, S8+, or Note 8, you can get another Galaxy S8 for free!
You'll need to activate both phones on monthly installment plans to qualify for this deal, but as long as you do this, it doesn't matter if you're a new or existing customer. With this, you can pay just $25/month for two brand-new Galaxy S8s. Not too shabby.
Take $54 off the Galaxy S8 and S8+ at T-Mobile
Lastly, for our friends on T-Mobile, the Un-Carrier has a deal of its own that's worth a look.
The Galaxy S8 and S8+ usually retail for $750, but thanks to a $54 savings, you can get either one for $696. You can choose to pay that $696 outright, or you can do $0 down and then $29/month for 24 months. That's not as extravagent as some of the other deals on this list, but then again, a discount is still a discount.
