Don't pay full price!
The Galaxy S22 series is out — you can walk into your local carrier store or Best Buy and pick one up today (if you can find any in stock, anyway). We saw some truly great incentives during pre-orders, but general availability doesn't mean the end of deals: Pretty much everybody's still offering money off, bonuses, or both, some of which can save you hundreds of dollars. Here are all the best ones.
During pre-orders, Samsung was offering a lot of bonuses, including enhanced trade values, up to $200 in Samsung store credit, and a free upgrade from 128 to 256 gigs of storage. Now that the phones are out, though, the deals have changed: trade values on most devices have gone up, but you'll no longer get the storage upgrade or the store credit. You will, however, get $50 or $100 in Google Play credit, depending on the model you buy.

AT&T's got all the new S22 phones at their normal prices: S22 for $800, S22+ for $1,000, and S22 Ultra for $1,200. During pre-orders, the carrier was offering $800 off any S22 phone with the trade of damn near any Samsung phone, whether it worked or not. That deal's over, but you can still get $800 off for any functional phone normally valued at $95 or more, or $350 off for any phone valued between $35 and $95.

Verizon's running deals similar to the ones it offered during pre-order: up to $1,000 off the Galaxy S22 Ultra or the S22+ when you trade in your old phone on select plans. Trades toward the base-model S22 are worth up to $800. You can also get up to $1,000 off a second S22 phone if you add a new line with an eligible unlimited plan.
Here are the current max trade values at Verizon:

T-Mobile is running a promotion similar to Verizon's: up to $1,000 off your S22 phone of choice with device trade-in on qualifying Magenta Max plans. Customers on plans that don't qualify for higher trade-in values will get up to $500 off for their trades.

Google's branded MVNO is offering new customers $300 off any S22 phone when they port their number over. That means you could potentially snag an S22 for $500, S22+ for $700, or S22 Ultra for $900, if you're willing to use Fi's network — which operates on T-Mobile and US Cellular's towers.

If you grab your S22 on Amazon, it comes with a free $100 gift card — which, since Amazon sells everything under the sun, you can use to buy practically anything. As of writing, the smallest S22 is also $100 off at Amazon, but the larger S22+ and the S22 Ultra are not.

Best Buy's offering decent trade-in values of up to $600 on the Galaxy S22 series. You can save an extra hundred bucks with activation, too — but that's par for the course here.
Here's what Best Buy will give you for some popular phones:

US Cellular isn't offering quite the breadth of deals as some larger carriers, but new customers are able to get "any of the devices" — that'd be an S22, an S22+, or an S22 Ultra — for free, provided they sign up for a qualifying unlimited plan.

Spectrum is offering its customers $200 off the S22, S22+, and S22 Ultra, in addition to the extra $100 it's already offering for trade-ins. Not a particularly flashy deal, but if you've got a recent phone to trade in, that could add up to some serious savings.
