After AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and T-Mobile, another US carrier has put up unlocked Galaxy S8 and S8+ for pre-order. B&H carrier will be selling the 64GB variant of S8 and S8+.
The Galaxy S8 on B&H carries a price tag of $829.99 which is higher than the $750 price offered by AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile carriers. Similarly, the $929.99 Galaxy S8+ cost on B&H exceeds the $850 price tag offered for the same device by AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile.

Both the devices will be shipped with AKG by Harman-Tuned Earbuds and limited one year B&H warranty and currently are available for pre-order in three color options — Midnight Black, Orchid Gray and Maple Gold. B&H will start shipping the Galaxy S8 and S8+ to pre-ordered customers at the beginning of next month.
Meanwhile, Samsung has started rolling out a minor update to Galaxy S8 and S8+ which comes with April security patch and also includes the fix for the remap issue of Bixby button. Also, the company has announced that it will be releasing another update towards the end of this month to fix the issue of red tint appearing on Galaxy S8 display panels as reported by some customers.
Thankfully this is not something that will affect the prices of the S8 and S8+ in India.I’m not sure people would pay the extra money to have it unlocked when they know they’re going to keep using the same carrier for a while
A pretty confusing move by b&h, when market leaders like AT&T and Verizon are selling it at a lower price, it is really unusual for them to sell it at almost 80 dollars more. That would really drive customers away.
