Samsung has brought some happy-happy moments for the smart phone lovers in the US. Samsung announces that it will be selling unlocked versions for its flagship models Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge throughout the nation. These devices will work well with all major US carriers and the CDMA carriers like Sprint and Verizon.
People willing to buy these devices can visit a Samsung retailer or place an order on the leading online portals like Amazon, Best Buy, Target and Ebay. According to the press release, the standard S7 will be available in black and would cost $699.99, while the S7 Edge is available in silver at a little higher price of $769.99.
Reviewers have given a positive rating to these products, with a few setbacks; overall it is among the recommended gadgets. With the unlocked versions, you would be able to switch between carriers. Further, you would get the option to choose the preloaded Samsung apps you want on your device. The company assures that the unlocked versions would have the same hardware as those available with the carriers – 12MP camera, fast and wireless charging and water resistant are a few highlights.
Though the company has been dependent on the carriers for its sales, this can be seen as a notable move to promote unlocked versions. It doesn’t seem that Samsung would move away from the carriers any time soon, but this announcement is a hint for the initiation.
No matter what the company plans for the future market, this announcement might bring smiles to many faces.
