Sprint, the fourth largest mobile carrier in the United States, will begin taking pre-orders for the Galaxy Note 8 from tomorrow. Like other carriers, it's also offering incentives for customers to pick up Samsung's latest flagship smartphone on its network.
The Galaxy Note 8 can be purchased from Sprint for a full retail price of $960. The deal is for those who are switching to Sprint and get the handset on its Sprint Flex payments plan.
Those customers will get 50 percent off the lease price and pay $20 per month with $0 down for 18 months. The Galaxy Note 8 is part of Sprint's Galaxy Forever program which lets customers upgrade to the latest Galaxy smartphone at any time after 12 Sprint Flex payments.
All Galaxy Note 8 pre-order customers on Sprint will receive the pre-order gifts that Samsung has confirmed today. The options include a 128GB memory card + convertible fast wireless charging stand or a Gear 360 (2017) camera.
The Galaxy Note 8 is HPUE-enabled (High Performance User Equipment) on Sprint. This means that customers will get increased coverage, more capacity and faster speeds on Sprint's network. HPUE-enabled smartphones provide Sprint customers with a better overall experience with video streaming, mobile gaming and other online apps and services.
The Galaxy Note 8 will be released on September 15.
