Galaxy Note 9 pre-order gifts include AKG headphones and Fortnite V-bucks

Samsung has confirmed the Galaxy Note 9 price and release date today. Its carrier partners will soon start taking pre-orders and will release the handset on August 24. The company obviously wants a lot of people to pre-order the Galaxy Note 9 which is why it’s offering Galaxy Note 9 pre-order gifts.

The company has a habit of offering incentives to customers who pre-order its handsets so this is hardly surprising. In the weeks leading up to the launch, we had heard that the Galaxy Note 9 pre-order gifts would include AKG headphones and in-game currency for Fortnite, which is exclusive to Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones for now.

The pre-order gifts tend to vary by market but in most places, Samsung is going to offer a pair of AKG noise-canceling headphones as an incentive. The headphones cost $299 at retail. Customers who don’t want them can opt for the unique Fornite Galaxy skin with 15,000 V-bucks worth $150. Those who want both can pay $99 over and above the smartphone’s cost.

Samsung’s regional divisions will confirm their Galaxy Note 9 pre-order gifts in due course. Customers in most markets should expect to receive these incentives that the company is offering to customers in the United States.

Customers should keep in mind that they will only be able to get these gifts if they pre-order the Galaxy Note 9 before August 23.
