Samsung's impressive new Galaxy Note 7 doesn't launch until Aug. 19, but pre-orders begin today.

In the U.S., the Note 7 will be available on Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, Sprint and U.S. Cellular in three colors: Blue Coral, Black Onyx and Silver Titanium. Here's how much it'll cost on each carrier.

On Verizon, the Note 7 will be available on a monthly installment plan of $36 per month for 24 months or $864 upfront.

AT&T is selling the Note 7 for $29.34 per month for 30 months or $879.99 upfront.

T-Mobile's selling the phone for $32.50 per month for 24 month ($69.99 down) or $849.99 in full.

Sprint is offering the Note 7 for $35.42 paid over 24 months, $349.99 (after mail-in rebate) with a 2-year contract, or $849.99 in full.

U.S. Cellular hasn't announced pricing for the Note 7.

The phones are identical on all of the carriers. Looking at the numbers, AT&T is the most expensive option followed by Verizon. T-Mobile and Sprint offer the best deal on the Note 7.

Shoppers who pre-order the Note 7 also get a free gift of their choice: a Gear Fit 2 or 256GB microSD card.

T-Mobile is also throwing in a full year of Netflix, which makes it the most attractive deal.
