Now that the Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge have been officially introduced at MWC 2016, the months of leaks and speculation have finally come to an end.
But one thing most will still be wondering after being bombarded with specs and new features is how much the new devices are going to cost them.
UK networks have already provided pricing and there’s lots of incentive to pre-order, with Samsung offering free Gear VR headsets to those willing to get their order in now in select countries.
The handsets will go on sale on March 11, so here’s a look at what some of the biggest networks are offering in terms of tariffs ahead of the release date.
