Samsung Galaxy Note 5 U.S. release date, preorders: T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, Sprint promos

The Samsung Galaxy Note 5 is now up for grabs from U.S. carriers, which have varying promos for their respective customers. At the moment, all four major telecom companies are offering the newly-launched Samsung phablet. 

For starters, T-Mobile has made the device available today after forgoing pre-orders.

T-Mobile CEO John Legere tweeted, "I heard you! You want to preorder and get your new Samsung devices pronto. So, we're going to speed this up and skip preorders altogether!" 

Customers can purchase the device online from Aug.18 to 21. Those who are subscribed to the JUMP! On Demand service will not be able to get their Samsung Galaxy Note 5 until they hit the carrier's shelves. 

A 32 GB variant costs $699.99 while a 64 GB model is at $779.99. Under a 24-month payment plan, users will pay $29.17 per month for the 32 GB version of the phablet. 

Verizon customers can get their 32 GB Samsung Galaxy Note 5 for $32 per month under a two-year installment plan. All-in-all, that's $768. To double the storage space, users need to shell out $36 per month for 24 months, which totals to $864. Users can pre-order the device right now. 

For those who would like to get the phablet from Sprint, the carrier allows a trade-in deal with "guaranteed $200 minimum credit." Sprint is generous enough to give away a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 to those who sign up for a 24-month contract in getting their Samsung Galaxy Note 5. 

The 32 GB edition is priced $25 for Lease, and $30 for Easy Pay. Meanwhile, the device is at $720 without contract. The 64 GB model costs $5 more with Lease and is at $34 with Easy Pay. That's $812 in total. 

Lastly, for AT&T subscribers, the device should be available through Next 24, 18 and 12 plans. The 32 GB version requires a payment of $24.67, $30.84 and $37 under Next 24, 18 and 12 plans, respectively, every month across two years. Off-contract, it is at $739.99. 

For more storage space, the carrier offers the 64 GB model for $28 under Next 24, $35 under Next 18, and $42 under Next 12. Without installment, the device is priced $839.99.
