The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ both have microSD slots, letting you add more storage to your phone if you need it. Next month, though, Samsung will offer another way to get more storage in an S9 or S9+.
Samsung is launching 128GB and 256GB versions of the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. Both models will be available exclusively from Samsung.com, with pre-orders opening May 1st and the launch scheduled for May 18th.
Here's what the pricing for the more capacious models of the S9 and S9+ looks like:
Those prices will be good during the pre-order period, which will end on May 17th. Once May 18th rolls around, the 256GB Galaxy S9 will increase to $839.99 while the 256GB Galaxy S9+ will increase to $959.99.
Customers will be able to choose Lilac Purple, Coral Blue, and Midnight Black color options. Additionally, customers who any model of the S9 or S9+ between May 1st and May 17th will get either a free pair of Gear IconX (2018) wireless earbuds or the opportunity to buy a Gear S3 Frontier smartwatch for $99.
Since launch, the Galaxy S9 and S9+ have come with 64GB of built-in storage, with the S9 priced at $719.99 and the S9+ priced at $839.99. While those 64GB models do come with microSD card slots, the new 128GB and 256GB models let consumers get even more storage in their smartphone since they, too, include microSD card slots.
