Samsung Galaxy S7 Pre-Order Date, Time & Shipping
How much will the Samsung Galaxy S7 cost you and when can you get one? Right now. To make thing better, multiple carriers are even shipping early. The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 release date has been confirmed for March 11th in the United States on AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Sprint, Cricket and more. Pre-orders went live on February 23rd. Here we’ll go over the Galaxy S7 release date, pre-orders, shipping times and more.
On February 21st Samsung took the stage in Barcelona, and unveiled the newly improved Galaxy S7, and a bigger 5.5-inch Galaxy S7 Edge. Within moments all major US carriers made official announcements, shared pre-order details and more.

Then starting on February 23rd, the Galaxy S7 pre-orders went live from all carriers, retail stores and more. Those who buy one early will get a free Samsung Gear VR and six virtual reality games, a $150 value. Below are all the details and a breakdown in pricing for anxious buyers looking to get the Galaxy S7.
Update: The Samsung Galaxy S7 release could arrive early for some. This morning, Monday February 29th, T-Mobile confirmed pre-orders are shipping early starting today for both the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge. Depending on which shipping method users paid for, an early Galaxy S7 arrival is likely. Drop us a comment below if T-Mobile shipped yours already.
Update #2: Now both Sprint and AT&T have confirmed the Galaxy S7 pre-orders are shipping earlier than the March 11th release date as well. Reports are all over the web, and AT&T themselves have March 7th listed as the ship date on their website.
GottaBeMobile can now confirm AT&T has begun shipping the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge as of March 6th, with orders being shipped on Monday and delivered by Tuesday, March 8th with overnight delivery. Days ahead of the official release date. Check your pre-order status now. Above is the confirmation email going out to buyers. We’re also hearing a similar situation has started on Verizon, with orders shipping today. Not the incorrectly listed March 31st date some Verizon customers have seen on their accounts. Has your Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge shipped yet?
As expected, both phones come with all the latest bells and whistles including a new powerhouse 8-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor with 4GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, an impressive new 12 Dual Pixel camera that looks very promising, and two other major changes.
Samsung’s made both the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge IP68 dust and water resistant. Meaning they can be submerged under water for over 30 minutes, and can handle just about anything. Then, the company returned the micro-SD slot for buyers to expand storage, up to 200GB.
The Galaxy S7 is water-resistant
Pricing is a bit convoluted though, and that’s because two year contracts are mostly a thing of the past and monthly payment plans are the biggest option these days. As a result, buyers aren’t sure exactly what to do, and below is everything you need to know to help buy the new Samsung Galaxy S7.
Galaxy S7 Pre-Order Date
Confirmed by Samsung and all its partnering carriers, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge are available for pre-order starting Tuesday, February 23rd. This is at all outlets and carriers. Pre-orders start on the 23rd, and the phone will be in your hands, on the doorstep, or on carrier shelves starting March 11th. All the deals go until March 18th. Some users are even getting phones up to a week early.
This is the fastest Samsung’s ever offered pre-orders on a smartphone, and much quicker than the Galaxy S6 release last year. In fact, the Galaxy S6 was released over a month after the announcement on April 10th. That isn’t the case this year.
So while the release date is still a few weeks away, Galaxy S7 pre-orders are live right now. This means users will want to know all the details, pricing, and the time. Samsung’s offering a few beautiful colors, and you’ll want to pre-order as soon as possible to ensure you get that Silver Galaxy S7 Edge, or a Gold Galaxy S7.
Galaxy S7 Pre-Order Time
Whether you’re at Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, or even Walmart and Best Buy, pre-orders are reportedly all starting around the same time.
February 23rd at 8:00 AM ET the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are now officially available for pre-order. It all begins at 8 AM, and popular colors will likely sell out extremely fast. As we mentioned earlier, those who pre-order between the 23rd and March 18th will get a free Samsung Gear VR headset absolutely free.

Galaxy S7 Price
Things get a bit confusing when it comes to the price for these phones. And that’s because carriers are all doing monthly payment plans instead of 2-year contracts, some are 24 months, while others like AT&T are 30 month plans and more. Essentially users pay $25 or so a month, on top of their monthly bill, to slowly pay for their new Galaxy S7. Here is the pricing for each carrier. It’s worth noting that Sprint appears to have the cheapest Galaxy S7, at $650, while others are nearly $700. AT&T is the cheapest each month though, but $695 all said and done. Pricing has yet to be announced by Cricket and other smaller regional carriers.
- AT&T: Galaxy S7 is $23.17 per month for 30 months = $695.10
- Verizon: Galaxy S7 is $28 per month for 24 months = $672
- T-Mobile: Galaxy S7 is $27.91 per month for 24 months = $669.84
- Sprint: Galaxy S7 is $27.09 per month for 24 months = $650.16
- US Cellular: Galaxy S7 is $28 per month for 24 months = $672
Galaxy S7 Edge Price
Similar pricing is in place for the Galaxy S7 Edge. It comes with a bigger 5.5-inch curved display and a larger 3,600 mAh battery. The Galaxy S7 Edge is arguably the better phone, and it only costs a few dollars more a month, or about $100 extra in the long run. However, not everyone wants the curved screen. Here is current pricing.
- AT&T: Galaxy S7 Edge is $26.50 per month for 30 months = $795
- Verizon: Galaxy S7 Edge is $33 per month for 24 months = $792
- T-Mobile: Galaxy S7 Edge is $32.50 per month for 24 months = $780
- Sprint: Galaxy S7 Edge is $31.25 per month for 24 months = $750
- US Cellular: Galaxy S7 Edge is $32.50 per month for 24 months = $780
As expected, each carrier is going to offer select promotions or deals in an effort to get customers to switch to their network. While Sprint has the lowest prices, they also have one of the best deals. With Sprint those who buy the Galaxy S7 get a second one for half off, making it just $375.
Sprint will offer a new “Galaxy Forever” deal similar to the iPhone forever deal. Allowing users to trade it in every 12 (or so) months for the newest model. While this is nice, buyers don’t get to keep the phone, so you’ll be paying for nothing. That said, the monthly payments drop to $25.99 for the S7 and $30.50 for the S7 Edge with Sprint.
T-Mobile will give buyers a free year of Netflix, and AT&T has an exclusive deal and companion app for DirecTV customers who buy the Galaxy S7. Then Verizon is offering the Gear VR or the Gear S2 as the free gift, and a $100 bill credit. At the end of the day these are expensive flagship smartphones. Sitting around $680 for the Galaxy S7 and over $750 for the Galaxy S7 Edge, available for pre-order now, and have some great deals to go with them. Look for pre-orders to ship early, and stay tuned for more details.
Galaxy S7/Edge Display | ||||||||
 | ||||||||
Like every year, Samsung introduced an even better display inside its latest and greatest smartphones. The Samsung Galaxy S7 sports the same 5.1-inch 2560 x 1440 Quad-HD S-AMOLED screen, and it's winning awards already. However, one big change this year is with the Galaxy S7 Edge. It isn't small, it's big. Rather than releasing a curved edge phone that's the same size, Samsung is giving buyers a choice. Get the smaller Galaxy S7, or get a 5.5-inch Galaxy S7 Edge in Black, Silver or Gold. It isn't as big as the Note 5, but not as small as the Galaxy S6 or Galaxy S7. A perfect middle ground. So far our early thoughts on the Galaxy S7 are extremely positive. The screen is amazing, crisp, and bright. Are you buying one? | ||||||||

Pre-ordered the S7 Edge on Feb 23rd. T-Mobile says that a shipping label was created yesterday, 2/28, but still waiting for UPS to pick it up…

No wonder why they took the tax and other charges out on last friday, they said it was going to be charged when it shipped. I thought they might have screwed something up, but i’m cool with it if the phone arrives any day.

I was also wondering why Tmobile charged my card, when it wasn’t supposed to charge until it shipped. However, there is no shipping detail added to my account yet. I’m getting too excited for this. I would love it early!

I got my tracking # for UPS on Feb. 28 with a scheduled delivery on the 29th for my new S7 Edge, NO SHOW! I checked today (March 1) and now UPS says there is NO information on the shipping date! It’s sucks that t-mobile had me really excited to get my device early. It seems as though there is some kind of mix up with everyone that pre-ordered the s7/s7 edge because a few of my friends received the email, text, etc. with shipping information as well. I actually could have saved a few bucks and not have paid for overnight shipping on Amazon for my new case
Oh well! Patiently waiting. Although T-mobile says shipped and the postage has been created, UPS went from having a delivery date to No information on the delivery date.

03/03/2016 at 5:48 am
Finally!! Just got my text from UPS, I will be getting my Silver S7 Edge today. And I actually got my money back from Amazon for same day shipping because my case didn’t arrive on time it actually came last night. So that worked out perfect!

Verizon sucks! I preordered 2 s7 edges in the feb 25th my expected shipping date is march 11th which is the day the phone comes out….so much for having the day it comes out.
Chris
03/06/2016 at 7:17 pm
That’s how I feel britknee. I would like to have mine before someone can actually go in the store on the 11th and buy it.
Chris
03/06/2016 at 7:15 pm
Same here for Verizon. Ordered my s7 edge in silver on the 23rd which was early morning and my status still show processing. So much for the number 1 carrier showing how they care about the customers.

03/06/2016 at 8:03 pm
Got a call from the sprint store on friday saying it was ready for pick up. Activated in store and over the weekend got almost everything figured out. Love it.

Quick question , does the phone come in your mailbox or do u have to be home to sign for it ?
Sarah Marie
03/07/2016 at 5:56 am
I ordered the s6 not long ago and I had to sign for it, so I’d assume that you’ll need to sign for the s7 as well.
Why are Verizon customers showing delivery of March 11th?! That’s a bunch of crap! I want mine early like all of the other carriers!
Evans
03/07/2016 at 7:37 am
ATT did not overnight mine. They shipped it using UPS Ground! ATT sucks!
Sam
03/07/2016 at 5:50 pm
What’s the point in pre ordering if ATT is saying it’ll ship between the 7-10. Well I could have gone to ATT and picked it up the 11th. So

03/08/2016 at 5:23 pm
I pre ordered on 03/01 and the T-Mobile rep told me the people that are pre ordering from 03/01 will not get their phones till the 11th… Well i guess it’s only a few days away now.
David
03/09/2016 at 9:20 am
My T-Mobile rep told me yesterday that my Edge will not arrive for another 10 days, and I placed a pre order on 3/3. They have not even updated the order status to reflect the backorder, so if I hadn’t called, I would never had found out.
Teresa Herren-Mcguire
03/09/2016 at 3:31 pm
I ordered on 3/2 and my cc just charged yesterday,they only charge when they are about to ship. Did your card get charged yet?
Mike
03/09/2016 at 3:36 pm
The money was taken out of my bank account as well, however it has not cleared yet so when it is when they will start the shipment. This is what the t-mobile rep told me.
Crystal L Hemphill
03/11/2016 at 2:55 am
We ordered ours on March 6th. The hold at the bank was released yesterday the 10th. No money gone and no phone. What is going on? I would love an update!

I preordered my phone in store weeks ago. Verizon says they do not know when they will fill the order :-( I had signed up with them after leaving them years ago because of bad customer service. When I called to inquire, the man was short and rude while answering. Anyone else still waiting for their phone?? I’m thinking resigning with Verizon was a mistake.
