Samsung Galaxy S10 pre-orders no longer include free Galaxy Buds

Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and Galaxy Buds

Up until now, pre-ordering either the Samsung Galaxy S10 or Galaxy S10 Plus would net you a free pair of Galaxy Buds. However, it looks like Samsung ran out of its free wireless earbuds for pre-orders.

Instead of Galaxy Buds, Samsung now offers a $130 eCertificate that can be used towards “select products” on Samsung’s website and the Shop Samsung app. Samsung didn’t say what those products are, but we assume you can spend the $130 on accessories for your Galaxy S10 or Galaxy S10 Plus. You could probably also pick up the Galaxy Buds when they go on sale March 8.

It’s not exactly unprecedented — the fine print of the promotion stated that the free Galaxy Buds were available “while supplies last.” That means Samsung likely allotted a certain number of its wireless earbuds for Galaxy S10 pre-orders and that supply ran out.

Samsung Galaxy S10 hands-on: Samsung’s latest flagships set a new bar

Samsung announced four new Galaxy S phones at its Unpacked event, marking the tenth anniversary of its flagship Galaxy line of devices. The Galaxy S10e, S10, S10 Plus, and S10 5G are chock-full of features, …

Either way, the news doesn’t affect those who are eyeing the Galaxy S10e. Pre-orders for that phone did not include a free set of Galaxy Buds, so new pre-orders won’t include the $130 eCertificate. For those folks, they can check out our list of the best true wireless earbuds available that aren’t Apple AirPods.

On a related note, some shipment dates for the Galaxy S10 and Galaxy S10 Plus slipped past their March 8 launch. The Prism White Galaxy S10 Plus with 128GB of storage, for example, will ship by March 22. Because of that, don’t be surprised if your Galaxy S10 pre-order doesn’t arrive at your doorstep on launch day.

Removable batteries discussion

I have always preferred phones with removable batteries so far, thinking that it will most certainly be the first component in a device to fail. I have even advised people in my circles to do so, until a recent event. A family member of mine still uses a HTC DesireX. Recently, he wanted to replace his battery because of swelling. He bought two matching batteries from different sellers. The problem is, even though they were unopened/sealed packages of original batteries, they were not holding much charge. (I suppose they waited on a shelf for some time.) This made me question myself. In the past, I have used nokia smartphones, and they were easy to replace with fresh batteries, since almost all nokias used the same battery type. Now with android, its all over the place. Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
