3 Reasons to Pre-Order the Galaxy S10 5G & 4 Reasons to Wait

Pre-ordering the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G might be tempting, but there are some great reasons to hold off for a few more days, a few more weeks, or longer.

After a bit of a wait, Samsung’s 5G-powered Galaxy S10 is finally available to buy in the United States. It joins the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+, and the budget Galaxy S10e.

As of right now, only Verizon is taking orders. The carrier has an exclusive on the 5G model right now though that will change in the weeks ahead as rivals like AT&T and T-Mobile launch their own 5G networks.

The Galaxy S10 5G is expensive. On Verizon, the 256GB model is $1,299.99 or $54.16/month for 24 months with monthly payments. The 512GB variant goes for $1,399.99 or $58.33/month for 24 months. That said, if you’re willing to pay, you get some interesting perks.

In addition to being compatible with Verizon’s growing 5G network, the Galaxy S10 5G comes with the biggest Galaxy S10 screen, top notch cameras, and faster wireless charging. It’s an interesting alternative to the company’s other models and a device worth considering as we push deeper into the year.
