Samsung is allowing people to reserve a spot in the preorder line for “the next generation of Galaxy,” which is another way of saying the Galaxy Note 10. It will accept reservations until 11:59PM ET on August 7th, the same day Samsung is hosting an Unpacked event where we expect it to unveil the Galaxy Note 10, and, possibly, the Galaxy Note 10 Plus. That’s when preorders will open, and if you follow through with purchasing the device, you’ll receive it on August 23rd.
Samsung says that reserving will grant you $50 in credit to use toward accessories. The Note 10 is likely to be expensive, but you might be able to save some money by trading in your phone. Samsung is offering $600 in credit in exchange for the following devices, assuming it’s in good condition you can reserve here:
Samsung Galaxy S10E, S10, S10 Plus
Samsung Galaxy Note 9
iPhone X, XR, or XS
Google Pixel 3, Pixel 3 XL
We’ve seen trade-in values reach this high before, but it’s typically reserved for the latest, most high-end phones. Samsung is widening the criteria by a large margin for the Note 10 release.
As is the way of things, plenty of details about the Note 10 have emerged through leaks and rumors. They suggest the series will have a hole-punch notch for a front-facing camera, triple rear cameras, a Snapdragon 855 processor, 8GB or more RAM and as much as 256GB base storage for the Note 10+ 5G model.
