Manufacturer and retailers
If you are looking for an unlocked phone or a wide array of carrier options, you can choose to buy the Note 20 through a major retailer – or through Samsung itself, which offers some decent discounts if you pre-ordered early.
If you pre-order between August 6 and August 20, you will receive a Samsung credit of $ 100 (on a future purchase, not this one) if you order the Note 20, or a $ 150 credit if you order the Note 20 Ultra order.
You can purchase an unlocked version, such as a carrier-specific version if you wish, using the Shop Samsung app or the Samsung website.
The largest online retailer offers the Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra unlocked – but you won’t find any other bonuses or packages in the first place. However, it is a good option if you have an Amazon gift card to burn.
The electronics retailer will carry both the Note 20 and the Note 20 Ultra. You can get up to $ 700 from both devices with a pre-order of a new activation and a trade-in.
Carriers
Buying through a wireless carrier can often open the door to big discounts – but usually only if and when you switch to a new carrier, change plans or open new lines.
Verizon customers can get the Note 20 by paying $ 41.66 per month for 24 months, while the Note 20 Ultra is on a plan of $ 54.16 a month for 24 months.
The carrier runs various promotions, such as a buy-one-get-one-free deal or up to $ 500 in credit with a trade-in. You should read the small print on the Verizon page to see exactly where you are eligible.
T-Mobile will take pre-orders, starting a day later, on August 7th. You can get the Note 20 for $ 41.67 per month, the 128GB Note 20 Ultra for $ 54.17 a month or the 512GB Note 20 Ultra for the same $ 54.17 a month with $ 150 down. If you buy a Note 20 and add a line to your account, you get up to $ 1000 off another Note 20 – making the base model free.
AT&T gives customers who trade in an eligible device up to $ 1000 of the Note 20 when purchased on a 30-month payment plan and with a qualifying unlimited plan. In other words, depending on which phone you trade, you could get the Note 20 for free.
If you switch to Xfinity Mobile between August 6 and September 15, you will receive a $ 400 discount on the Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra when you activate a new line and transfer your number. If you are already a customer, you will receive a $ 400 visa card when you upgrade.
US Cellular takes pre-orders, and will have phones available in stores on August 21st. If you switch to the carrier and sign up for their Unlimited with Payback plan, you can get a Note 20 for $ 9.99 a month, or a Note 20 Ultra for $ 19.99 a month.
