Samsung's newest Note phones are here, and they're very, very expensive. These phones sport Samsung's latest displays, improved S Pens, and all the 5G you can handle. If you're dead-set on picking up the new Galaxy Note20 or Note20 Ultra, you've got several options. Samsung has the unlocked phone, of course, but you can also buy the phone from your carrier of choice. We've got all the details right here. Most pre-order deals are over now, and it'll probably be a few more weeks at least before there are new discounts.

This year marks the first time Spigen has launched a lineup that’s not only 100% slim and protective, but that's designed to cover the entire Galaxy family, including the new Note20 and Note20 Ultra, Galaxy Buds Live, and Galaxy Tab. With a collection that includes the best-selling Tough Armor, clear Ultra Hybrid, svelte Liquid Air, and even the newly upgraded Thin Fit, Spigen has everything you need to keep your Samsung gadgets looking clean and pristine for years to come.

Samsung

Samsung has the unlocked Note20 and Note20 Ultra ready to ship (in at least some colors). The retail pricing, which we expect all carriers and retailers to follow for now, is $999.99 for the Galaxy Note20 and $1,299.99 for the Note20 Ultra. Samsung offers payment plans split up over 36 months. That should work out to around $27.78 monthly for the Note20 and $36.12 per month for the Note20 Ultra.

Deals:

  • Trade-in values as high as $650 for all phones from the Galaxy S20 and Note10 families, as well as the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max. Older iPhones and Samsung devices go down from there, but you can still get good value from older phones—Samsung will give you $400 for a Galaxy S9, for example. Google phones max out at $400 for Pixel 3 and Pixel 4 families. A 3a or 3a XL will get you $300. Again, that's pretty generous for a phone that barely cost more than that when it was new.

AT&T

You can pick up a Note20 on AT&T's landing page, and it should ship in the coming days. The phones should also be in AT&T stores beginning today (August 21st). The Note20 is $999.99—$33.34 a month for 30 months. The Note20 Ultra (128GB) is $1,299.99, and the Note20 Ultra (512GB) is $1,449.99. On a payment plan, that's $43.34/month for 30 months (128GB) and $48.34/month for 30 months (512GB).

  • Deal: For a limited time, new and existing AT&T customers that trade in an eligible smartphone can get the Note20 5G for free ($1000 credit) when they buy it on a 30-month installment plan with an AT&T unlimited plan. AT&T has a list of eligible devices but won't tell you how much any of them is worth upfront. Yes, that's very annoying when you're trying to budget for a new, expensive phone.

Verizon

On Verizon, the Note20 is $41.66 per month for 24 months ($999.99 retail), and the Note20 Ultra is $54.16 per month for 24 months ($1,299.99 retail).
