The Galaxy Note 7 is finally on sale in the United States again after an updated version of the device was approved by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and Sprint all have stock that’s available to purchase today.
Samsung halted sales of the Galaxy Note 7 around the world last month after confirming a battery fault that left a large number of handsets at risk of exploding while charging. It then launched a recall program to exchange faulty devices for existing users.
During the recall program, it was unclear when the Galaxy Note 7 would be available to purchase again. Samsung originally promised it would return on September 21, though some reports led us to believe that we’d have to wait until late October.
But Samsung has delivered on its promise. The company confirmed on Monday that 500,000 handsets have been shipped to the U.S., and they’re now available to purchase from all four major carriers, with many offering retail and contract purchases at checkout.
Most carriers have all three color options — black, blue, and silver — available at the time of writing this post. Handsets are available for in-store pickup as well as home delivery.
