Speedsters Rejoice! Samsung's Galaxy Note8 Launches on T-Mobile this September (Photo: Business Wire)

“When you put the Note8 on the T-Mobile network, it’s like putting a world-class racecar on a brand new, state-of-the-art racetrack – it’s straight up incredible,” said John Legere, president and CEO of T-Mobile. “Meanwhile, the other guys’ customers are swerving around potholes on increasingly toll-booth-filled, traffic-congested nightmares. Samsung’s best superphone deserves America’s best unlimited network!”

The rigorously tested Galaxy Note8 is the third gigabit-class phone to launch at T-Mobile. And America’s best unlimited network just keeps getting better! Since the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S8 -- the first ever gigabit-class phone on T-Mobile’s network – average speeds have gone up by nearly 2Mbps. The data from millions of customer tests speaks for itself.

And T-Mobile was recently named #1 in speed, latency and LTE availability by OpenSignal’s comprehensive study of actual customer experiences based on over 5 billion real customer tests.

The Galaxy Note8 will be available online and at participating T-Mobile stores across the country on September 15 in Midnight Black and Orchid Gray for $210 down and $30 a month on T-Mobile’s Equipment Installment Plan, or $0 down and $39 a month on JUMP! on Demand (FRP: $930).
