Although two-year service contracts are now rare, consumers are instead stuck with two-year installment plans and cannot take a phone to a rival until it’s paid off. Samsung will sell unlocked versions of its flagship Galaxy S7 phones in the US so consumers can switch carriers more easily.
Unlocked phones have no such restrictions. They are also free of carrier-specific apps for messaging, video and other tasks, though Samsung still adds several beyond the standard version of Android from Google.
Samsung’s Galaxy S7 will sell for $670 (roughly Rs. 45,000), and a model with a curved side screen called Edge will go for $770 (roughly Rs. 52,000). The prices are cheaper than Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile, though more expensive than Sprint. You pay the phone’s full price rather than monthly installments.
