Updating to new S8 on refresh - can I pre-order?

Anonymous

Hi all.

 

I have tried searching for this specific question but cannot find an answer amongst the hundreds for refresh! Sorry if it's already been asked.

 

I am just up for being able to renew my phone ( s7 edge)  after 12 months but as you have to visit a shop to complete the transaction is there any way you can pre order the phone when it eventually comes up for pre order. Normally I would do this online but that was with another plan. Cheers. John.

I'd wait until pre orders are announced and look at the options then.
You may be able to reserve online for store collection or pre order in store.
I think they gave that option for iPhone 7.

Yes indeed. This will be a very long awaited device. I am sure it will be the best Samsung will produce as well (after last years fiasco...)
