3 Reasons to Pre-Order the Galaxy S20 & 5 Reasons to Wait

Pre-ordering a Samsung Galaxy S20 might be tempting, but some of you are better off waiting a few more days or even a few more weeks before committing to one of Samsung’s new flagship phones.

After months of rumors and leaks, Samsung’s finally launched its new 2020 Galaxy S models. As expected, the new lineup includes three different options: the Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and the high-end Galaxy S20 Ultra.

Galaxy S20 rumors were extremely accurate. The new devices come with some exciting upgrades including big, beautiful displays, Android 10 with some exclusive features, brand new cameras, state of the art processors, tons of storage, and a whole lot more.

On paper, the Galaxy S20 looks like solid competition for top devices like Apple’s iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max and Google’s Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, among others.

They also look like solid in-house competition for other Galaxy models, a list that includes the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, Galaxy Note 10, and many others.

The Galaxy S20, Galaxy S20+, and Galaxy S20 Ultra aren’t cheap, but they should be on your shopping list if you’re in the hunt for a new device in the first half of 2020 and beyond.

The devices are slated to hit shelves in a few days, but you don’t have to wait to buy a Galaxy S20. Samsung and its partners fired up pre-orders on February 21st giving those in the hunt for a new device the chance to reserve a particular model ahead of time.

There are some benefits to pre-ordering a Galaxy S20. You can save a bunch of cash and you also get some freebies if you order within a certain time frame. That said, there are also some reasons to hold out for a few more days or skip the pre-order process completely.

In this guide we’ll take you through the best reasons to pre-order a Galaxy S20 and the best reasons to put your wallet away. For the time being at least.

Pre-Order If You Want the Galaxy S20 ASAP

> 1 / 8

If you've already decided to buy one of the new Galaxy S20 models and you want or need it ASAP, you'll want to put in a pre-order through Samsung, your carrier, or your favorite retailer.  Pre-ordering the Galaxy S20 today should ensure that you get the Galaxy S20 model you want, in the color you want, on the first day of availability. That's March 6th for most models in the United States though the unlocked versions might ship a little bit later in the month.  The Galaxy S20 release date might land on March 6th, but some pre-orders will show up on doorsteps much sooner than that. Some orders are already shipping out.  The Samsung Galaxy S20 probably won't sell out so there's no need to rush into an order. Models that do sell out will likely return soon after launch.  However, if you want peace of mind and/or want a new phone in your hands right away, pick the option that best fits your needs and order now.
