If you still own a Galaxy S6 Edge Plus you're likely eligible for an upgrade, or can trade it in and start making small monthly payments on a Galaxy S8+. Meaning an upgrade is a lot easier than you think. Not to mention an app built in called "SmartSwitch" will literally transfer everything for you. So it's a hassle-free upgrade experience. 

The retail price is $749 for the Galaxy S8 and $849 for the Galaxy S8+. It's available in Black, Silver and Gray. Those are the only colors available in the US. Some carriers or retail stores have lower prices too, so shop around. Like Walmart or Best Buy.

We hope you now have a better idea of what's available and if the S8+ is right for you. It would be a great replacement for the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus, and already has a curved screen. Most carriers will give you a Galaxy S8+ for around $30 a month. Will you be getting one?
