Samsung's Galaxy S23 lineup will be readily available on February 17. However, if you're eager to get your hands on a device, you shouldn't wait till Friday. Once preorders are up, the current roster of Galaxy S23 deals will expire. And there are plenty of great deals you don't want to miss. 

For instance, Samsung is offering the Galaxy S23 or Galaxy S23 Plus for free (opens in new tab) with trade-in. Additionally, you'll get a free storage upgrade and up to a $150 Samsung credit (opens in new tab). Like most cell phone deals, you'll need to purchase your phone via an installment plan and with select carriers to get these deals. However, you can do that all from the Samsung website.
