It's common knowledge by now that Samsung will be unveiling the Galaxy S10 on February 20 in San Francisco. The company was already expected to open up pre-orders the very next day. It appears that Samsung will indeed allow you to pre-order the Galaxy S10 on February 21.
Reports have suggested that Samsung will release the handsets on March 8. That's when pre-order customers will receive their shipments and retail customers will be able to walk out of a store with one.
Pre-order Galaxy S10 starting February 21
A promotional poster for the Galaxy S10 launch event has been spotted in Indonesia which reveals more information than what Samsung has provided in the west. It mentions that “pre-order starts 22 February 2019.”
You're probably confused why the Unpacked event date on this poster is February 21. Take a look at the time, the event will be at 2 AM local time. That means it would be 11 AM, February 20 in San Francisco. That is precisely the time Samsung's event kicks off. Consequently, the February 22 pre-order date for Indonesia means that customers in the west will be able to pre-order Galaxy S10 on the very next day after the event.
This poster also has a link to the www.GalaxyLaunchPack.com website. There's nothing on there yet except a time which is counting down to the event. It's a local site from Samsung Indonesia where fans can register to receive more information about the device when it's announced. There wasn't any concern that Samsung would make fans wait a few days to pre-order Galaxy S10 after the event. Nonetheless, this poster is reassuring.
Samsung will be unveiling three models of the new flagship in San Francisco. They include a cheaper Galaxy S10e, Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy S10+.
