Samsung now has unlocked versions of its flagship Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ smartphones available for sale.
The smartphones are now being sold at select Best Buy retail stores along with BestBuy.com and Samsung.com.
Samsung says the unlocked variants of the S8 and S8+ are compatible with most wireless networks around the world, including those operated by AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon Wireless in the U.S. Samsung-branded apps and services are aboard the unlocked S8 and S8+, but carrier-branded bloatware is absent.
Best Buy and Samsung will permit phone trade-ins, as well as 24-month financing, to help defray the cost of the device.
The Galaxy S8 costs $725 and the Galaxy S8+ costs $825. The unlocked phones are only available in midnight black.
