Though Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series doesn’t take a jump in pricing from last year’s models, that doesn’t mean paying full price is necessary. Samsung and its partners offer up some pretty good pre-order deals. Here’s where you can pre-order the Galaxy S23, S23+, or S23 Ultra and get the best deal.
Galaxy S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra pre-orders
While the S23 lineup looks remarkably similar to Samsung’s devices of yesteryear, there are a few key differences under the hood. One change is the common chip used in all three devices, which will be the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy. With that, the S23 Ultra brings a lot of changes to the camera array and display. The primary sensor comes in at 200MP with pixel binning for sharper images. To view those, Samsung is sticking a 6.8-inch QHD+ panel with a noticeably flatter display than the S22 Ultra.
These improvements and more come as nice touches and an overall improvement over last year’s devices.
All three devices are now available to pre-order from major retailers starting today. Below is a list of retailers that will be carrying the S23, S23+, and S23 Ultra:

Where can I get the best deal?
In recent years, Samsung has offered the best of the best in terms of trade-in deals and offers. This year, the company is pulling that same weight and offering some phenomenal trade-in options for the S23 series.
Some of the best trade-in deals are going to come directly from Samsung.com. This year, the company is offering the Galaxy S23 for up to $700 off, with a trade-in. Your credit depends on what device you trade, with Samsung’s own phones being worth more. With that, users are looking at a free storage upgrade and a $100 instant Samsung credit. Using our links, users will also get an extra $50 off their pre-order.
Best Buy’s deal is the same across the board for all devices. The retailer is offering up to $780 off with a pre-order and trade-in. On top of that, a free storage upgrade is on the table. Best Buy is additionally throwing in a $100 gift card.
If you’re looking to purchase from a carrier, AT&T is offering $1,000 off the Galaxy S23. That offer comes with a free memory upgrade, which means you can choose to get a 256GB Galaxy S23 for no bump in cost. With a trade-in, AT&T is offering a free switch for eligible devices. That means you could potentially walk away with a free Galaxy S23.
With Verizon, the Galaxy S23 becomes free with an upgrade or if you’re a new customer. This offer requires a trade-in on “qualified 5G plans.” Much like AT&T, Verizon is offering a free storage upgrade when you pre-order. On top of that, customers are looking at a free Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Tab S7 FE 5G with purchase.
T-Mobile is also a good get if you’re looking for a new plan. The carrier is offering up to $1,000 trade-in credit with the Magenta Max rate plan. On the Magenta Max plan and without a trade-in, you’re still looking at $800 off. With a trade-in and other plans, you can get up to $500 off your total cost.
Samsung is using the same formula for the S23+, offering up to $700 off the device and a free storage upgrade with a trade-in. With that, users get an instant $100 Samsung credit and another $50 using Samsung links in this article.
The other option if you’d like to buy outright is to go with Best Buy. Best Buy is offering the S23+ for up to $780 off with a trade-in. That includes a storage upgrade to 512GB for free. Additionally, Best Buy is giving out $100 gift cards with purchase.
On the carrier side, AT&T is following the same plan for the S23+ as they are with the S23. That means a free storage upgrade to 512GB and a potentially free device with an eligible trade-in. If you want to buy outright, you’re still looking at a $1,000 credit toward your purchase.
Verizon is still a good option with the S23+, as it’s offering $800 off with a select trade-in on a 5G plan. That also includes a storage upgrade for free. Those who switch will get a $200 Verizon eCard and a free Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Tab S7 FE 5G, though you’ll have to commit to a plan.
T-Mobile is hitting the same deal as the little brother to the S23+. Users can get up to $1,000 off, but you need to trade in an eligible device and sign up for the Magenta Max plan. Without the Max plan, the most you can get is $500 off.
Samsung’s Galaxy S23 Ultra deals are pretty good, with up to $750 off and a free storage upgrade. Unlike the S23 and S23+, Ultra pre-orders come with an increased $150 Samsung credit for accessories.
Best Buy isn’t doing anything extra for the S23 Ultra like other retailers. Instead, the company is offering the same deal, with up to $780 off with a trade-in as well as a storage upgrade to 512GB. Customers also get a $100 gift card for use after the fact.
As with the previous devices, the Galaxy S23 Ultra is also getting good treatment from AT&T. Of course, you’re looking at $1,000 off the S23 Ultra and a storage upgrade to 512GB. Beyond that, you can get the S23 Ultra for $199.99 (256GB) or $379.99 (512GB) with an eligible trade-in.
On the Verizon side, the deal is the same for the S23 Ultra as with the other devices in the series. Users get $800 off if they switch or start a new plan, a $200 eCard, and a free Galaxy Watch 5 and Galaxy Tab S7 FE 5G.
Again, T-Mobile is offering up to $1,000 off, so long as you’re looking to sign up for the Magenta Max plan and are willing to trade in a device. Without that, the most you can get off is around $500.
While a lot of these offers already get hundreds off the S23, S23+, or S23 Ultra, there’s another way you can save an additional 15%. By signing up for Rakuten and searching for the Samsung store through it, you can activate an additional 15% cashback. Users can use this link to create a free account and activate cash back. On a $1,199.99 S23 Ultra pre-order, you can save an extra $180.
