Galaxy Note 10: When and where to buy
- Pre-orders start at 9 pm PT on Aug. 7

Pre-orders opened at 9pm PT on Aug. 7 -- mere hours after Samsung unveiled the device. But availability is limited to Samsung's own online and physical stores, plus the big carriers. Full availability starts Aug. 23, which is when you'll be able to buy a model at retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Sam's Club, and Walmart.

There are three models of the Galaxy Note 10: the standard Galaxy Note 10, the larger Galaxy Note 10 Plus, and a version of the Galaxy Note 10 Plus with 5G connectivity. To compare specs and features, go here. Once you decide which one you want to buy, browse where they're available (below) as well as the pre-order deals available at each place:
