Samsung Galaxy Note Edge to launch soon at AT&T, T-Mobile
Even though more than two months have passed since Galaxy Note Edge was unveiled, Samsung has yet to finally bring its phablet to Western markets. Sure, many can get Galaxy Note 4 instead, which has similar specs, but it does not offer that intriguing curved display on the side, nor the appeal of owning a more exclusive device.
However, if you are an AT&T or T-Mobile customer looking to get Galaxy Note Edge, then you're in luck as Samsung will soon introduce its much-awaited device in US. Both mobile operators have announced that they will carry the phablet this month.
AT&T says that Galaxy Note Edge "will be displayed" in select retail locations starting this Friday, November 7. It is an interesting way to phrase it, no doubt; it will cost $399.99 on a two-year contract and $945.99 off-contract. You will also be able to get it on AT&T Next 18 for $39.42 per month, or AT&T Next 12 for $47.30 per month.
For a Galaxy Note 4, AT&T is asking $299.99 on a two-year contract, and $825.99 off-contract. On AT&T Next 18 it costs $34.42 per month, while on AT&T Next 12 it costs $41.30. There is a substantial price increase, as you can see, when going for Galaxy Note Edge.
T-Mobile will offer Galaxy Note Edge later in the month, starting November 14. It will be available in 24 monthly payments of $36.25. That equates to $870 outright. In comparison, Galaxy Note 4 costs $31.24 per month for two years, or $749.76 upfront. The difference is virtually the same as in AT&T's case, however the cost is lower.
