The Galaxy S23 is perhaps one of the more exciting lineups we've seen from the Galaxy S series in recent years. That's largely due to the global use of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset that's providing users with exceptional battery life. The Galaxy S23 Ultra in particular has some impressive camera upgrades, making it well worth the asking price.
Speaking of the Galaxy S23 prices, Samsung has kept them unchanged in the United States, but customers in other markets will see an increase. Global economic conditions will certainly come into play when the devices are priced in markets across the globe.
Customers can take advantage of Galaxy S23 pre-order offers to limit the impact on their pocket a little bit. These offers vary but customers in major markets across Europe and North America can expect to get a free storage upgrade when pre-ordering their device from Samsung.com. The free upgrade means that if you pay for a 256GB Galaxy S23 model, you'll get the 512GB one for no extra charge.
Carriers in the United States have some great pre-order offers on the Galaxy S23 phones. These offers also include the free storage upgrade that Samsung is providing. For those who prefer factory-unlocked devices, it's always best to purchase their phones directly from the company's online store. Samsung is only providing the free storage upgrade throughout the pre-order period that lasts until February 16, 2023.
Pre-ordering your Galaxy S23 phone directly from Samsung is the best way to buy one right now because of this. It's important to remember that there's no microSD card slot on the Galaxy S23 phones. There is no way you can expand the internal storage. You can only get more storage by either paying for a cloud storage service or buying a USB-C flash drive, but if you lose, all of your data goes with it.
Samsung is delivering great value to customers by offering this upgrade for free. If you pre-order the Galaxy S23 Ultra from Samsung, you pay the $1,199 that you would have for the 256GB model but get the 512GB model instead which costs $1,379. This is an instant saving of $180 before you factor in any trade-ins that will only help bring the cost of your new phone down even further.
You save $120 on the Galaxy S23+ by only paying $999 for the 512GB model that actually costs $1,119. Double your storage on the Galaxy S23 by paying $799 for the 256GB Galaxy S23 instead of $859. This is a meaningful incentive that Samsung is offering to customers who pre-order the Galaxy S23 directly. We can never have enough storage on our phones so with this incentive, we can get double the storage for the same money.
Don't forget that you also get free instant Samsung credit ranging from $50-$100 for buying a Galaxy S23 phone from the company's website. This credit can be used to purchase accessories or any other product from the online store. Since these phones don't ship with a charger, it's best to use this credit to buy an official Samsung USB-C charger.
The added benefit of buying directly is that you can choose from exclusive Galaxy S23 colors available only from Samsung.com. These include Graphite, Sky Blue, Lime, and Red for the Galaxy S23 Ultra as well as Graphite and Lime for the Galaxy S23+ and Galaxy S23.
If you haven't pre-ordered your Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+ or Galaxy S23 Ultra yet, go ahead and take advantage of this offer now before the clock runs out on February 16th. Otherwise, you'll need to pay a lot more to get the same level of internal storage. Since these are new devices, it will take some time before they're discounted.
Expect to have to wait a few months or even more for the higher storage variants to be discounted down to these prices. Who wants to wait until then to get their hands on one of the best Samsung phones yet!
