It took three months for the unlocked Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge to become available in the United States after the carrier-locked versions were released. With the Galaxy S8, customers will only have to wait for a few weeks.
Best Buy has confirmed that it's going to start selling unlocked units of Samsung's new flagship on May 9. It has already put up listings on its online store for both variants, asking $724.99 for the Galaxy S8 and $824.99 for the Galaxy S8+.
It remains to be seen though how many customers actually decide to purchase the unlocked model given Samsung's poor track record of providing timely updates for the unlocked Galaxy S7 or Galaxy S7 edge in the United States.
