Samsung already started pre-orders for the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+, and announced bonuses that customers would receive when they get the new smartphone. The South Korean company is offering goodies, just like it provided for last year’s flagships.

Samsung will be offering lots of bonuses to customers who pre-order the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ starting March 30 and until April 20. The company is offering a Gear VR headset with Controller for free and some Oculus content as a bonus.

Customers can also pick a pair of premium headphones by AKG and a 256GB memory card to add more storage to the 64GB internal memory on the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. The 99$ promo bundle is available for a limited time, but it helps customers save about $431.

The Gear VR with Controller costs $130, AKG headphones have a price tag of $150, while the 250GB microSD card costs $250, but customers can get them all for the price of just $99.

Customers who already pre-ordered the Galaxy S8 and S8+ must register on Samsung’s website by April 20 to get the promotion. They must also submit proof of purchase to benefit from the offer.

It’s worth mentioning that the Oculus content for the Gear VR headset varies based on market, but the basic bundle should feature End Space, Star Chart, Esper 2, Evil Robot Traffic Jam, and Ocean Rift.

The Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ can be pre-ordered at Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T and other US carriers.  BestBuy is currently offering $100 to customers who pre-order the phones, while the Galaxy S8 is expected to ship after April 21.

Unlocked versions of the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ should make their way to the market on May 9, BestBuy being one of the retailers that will sell the new phones. The unlocked Galaxy S8 will cost $724.99 at BestBuy, while the Galaxy S8+ will sell for $824.99.
