Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge now available in Canada

Canadians, the day has finally arrived.

After a short pre-order period, which apparently has apparently resulted in “stronger-than-expected” sales, the Samsung Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge are available at carriers across the country.

As previously reported, pricing starts at $199 on contract and rises to $1,000 no-term. All models are the 32GB version of the device.. The Galaxy S7 comes in Black or Silver, while the Galaxy S7 edge is only available in Black (see the complete list of carrier availability and pricing here).

In addition, both the Galaxy S7 and S7 edge can be purchased unlocked at any of the Samsung’s Experience Store locations, which are located in Metrotown (British Columbia), Richmond Centre (British Columbia), West Edmonton (Edmonton), Sherway Gardens (Toronto). However, we are hearing that there is a ‘global shortage’ of the Galaxy S7 edge.

Update: Costco.ca is also selling the GS7 and GS7 edge unlocked. Similar to the Samsung Experience Stores, Costco notes, “Requires a microSIM card (not included). Once a SIM card is installed, the phone is then locked to that carrier. Unlock codes are available from Samsung Customer Support.” (Thanks, Roy!)
