Samsung made some of those potential buyers happy in international markets, including India, where Galaxy S9 units with more built-in storage were readily available. And now the company has seen fit to bring those same devices to the wireless market in the United States. Samsung will be selling a 128GB and 256GB Galaxy S9 and 256GB Galaxy S9+ in the U.S. beginning in May, with both handsets only available to buy directly from the company’s online storefront.
Pre-orders go live on Tuesday, May 1. You’ll have to fork over $769.99 for the 128GB Galaxy S9, or $889.99 for the Galaxy S9+ with the same amount of storage. Meanwhile, the 256GB Galaxy S9 will retail for $819.99, while the Galaxy S9+ variant will go for $939.99. So, still missing that $1,000 mark.
Both handsets will go on sale, again, directly from Samsung.com, beginning May 18. If you do pre-order one of the handsets, you will get a free Gear IconX (2018), Samsung’s own truly wireless headphones. If you don’t want that, you can opt to buy a Gear S3 Frontier, Samsung’s own smartwatch, for $99.
It’s also worth noting that both handsets do support a microSD card, so you could just stick to that route, too.
