Looking at contracts for the S6, but think I will go with this and a SIMO plan - much cheaper than any contract deal.
Decent price. Looks like the only downfall is it comes with European plug rather than UK - but who doesn't have plenty of usb plugs anyway?
Same seller has different colors available.

I have this phone, it has excellent hardware, but poor battery life. Battery life is something you should consider as it might drive you mad.

think my only gripe would be the warranty - my s5 I bought in the UAE died a horrible death, so not covered (afaik)
I still think an s5 would be better for the removable battery - and cheaper. but if you need flagship, go nuts

Samsung warranty is worldwide so should not be a problem

gear vr is just around the corner so there's that. Alot of people have more reasons that just having a flagship

Be very carefull my daughter got her S5 contract with o2 she put the charger cable into the phone, wouldn't charge then the charger refused to come out, in the end after loads of ppl tried to get the charger out, she had to forcibly pull it out came out in bits, O2 sed it was out of there warranty so had to send it to Samsung, we got the repair bill it was £96.00, as they sed it wasn't mechanical it was costume fault, I refused to pay the repair bill price so even tho she had paid o2 monthly insurance she ended up no phone, so be very careful what yr insurance covers for with these ppl I bought her another phone S6 so she wasn't without a phone but if I had of known these problems that both 02 and Samsung took her money for insurance she had paid was not worth the paper it was written on so be certain you know what the insurance covers u for as it could end up an expensive phone after 15 months useless and very much out of pocket

Got my S6 from mobiles.co.uk for £24.99 per month 2GB 4G extra, 1000 mins & unlimited texts. Not sure you can get a SIMO deal for less than £10 which beats that? Also, saves having to outlay £360 in one go.

I've read so many different opinions on this battery. Some say it's great others say it's terrible. Don't know what to think

Go for the note 4 if you're after battery life

I brought this phone from this seller on eBay a couple of weeks ago. It was a brand new, sealed phone, unlocked as you would buy from Samsung direct as well as fast delivery. Ive had no problems so far and ended up saving a few hundred by getting a cheap simo plan. It's much cheaper than a contract. It does come with a euro plug but that's not a big issue for some.

There are many battery technologies that some of which will appear in the future, some of these which hold promise are mentioned in this article >
It should be pointed out that whilst they state near future, just as with new medicines, things take time, but hopefully not as long as it takes to get a medicine to market. Anyway to see all these various new battery technologies is encouraging.

I had the S6 Edge Plus for a week and the battery seemed ok to me from using a note 3 . I know the battery is slightly bigger in the plus than the regular S but I reckon it's down to battery improvements ,or more likely software improvements that the life holds better.
Still, ultimately , I really want a removable battery.

Do not buy phones from ebay. Good chance its fake. I work in telecoms and there are some incredible fakes out there.

funnily enough when my "real" one broke, I looked at the fakes because the accessories (and 7500mah) battery looked like it'd fit

Instead of a SIM only deal you might want to look at GiffGaff, I moved recently and very impressed.

The feedback from this seller seems pretty good. I'm just wondering if anyone has used them as I'm tempted by this deal.
I think this deal is better as once you've bought the phone you still have to buy a SIM. People complain that you are tied in for 2 years - but you will alaways need a phone and always need minutes - in many ways we are tied for life.

If you look on uswitch.com there are some good deals with talkmobi le especially if your a low user. The initial outlay is considerable but if you factor in what you would pay for a sim plan on top of buying the handset sim free they seem a good deal
