A decent resale value for a galaxy lasts about 3 minutes after release.

My deal is for the edge but the 90 quidco will not work alongside any other offers or deals so wouldn't be able to use it alongside the 20% off your wife can get

The best deal i've found so far is an S7 8gig red value bundle on Vodaphone, with 24 months spotify (worth £239.76) for - £35.20 (normally £44 but my wife works NHS so we get the employee advantage discount). Theres a £99 up front cost, but you can get £90 Quidco on all new contracts of £44 and up which almost negates this, bringing the overall cost to £615.04. Take away the £569 cost of the phone new, which leaves your paying £46 (£1.92 a month) for unlimited mins/texts and 8gig 4g data.

Free VR headset worth £89 on all pre-orders to boot.

I wanted to refrain from saying clueless, but I couldn't resist, your post shows you're clueless. I suggest you start by using Gsmarena and comparing your Moto G to the S7 and work it out, if you still can't I refer you to the word clueless.

Your comparison is similar to saying I have a Ford Fiesta it's a car, what other car do I need, why would I want a BMW M3, my Fiesta does everything the M3 does just slower. Or my Fiesta does everything a Range Rover does just slower. Go on a car forum and state that and see how far you get :smiley:

I actually think Moto G owners are quite culpable in thinking this way, they've had a decent spec phone for the money, and they think that there's nothing better or they are blindsided by the law of diminishing returns and quantise this incorrectly when comparing their phone to a higher spec phone. Well yes you do have a good phone that is a respectable jack of all trades, but it's nowhere near a flagship phone.

Effectively your quantisation of your phone in comparison to others is skewed, you are unable to see the wood from the trees. You have blinkers on. You veer slightly in the direction towards the mentality of a tuppenny snob, not the same, but still skewed thinking, which doesn't just border on ridiculous it is in fact ridiculous.

I know what you mean op but this is still one hell of a cost and you need a sim deal after you have done the 12 months. Not voting you cold as not many deals yet. I just don't think the s7 deals are realistic at the moment. I think we've the LG G5 and Sony Z6 hit the market there will be some new phone competition to bring the price down.

great find, thanks op! heat added! :-)

Ah - missed the 'edge' bit. But you can get the discount on top of Quidco, as long as you purchase through Vodaphone and not a third party like CPW, you can apply for it within 30 days of it being connected.

Cheers i always do a 12 month deal

Do I qualify if I buy with Partners, Carphone Warehouse or Quidco?

No. To qualify for the Vodafone Advantage scheme you must buy directly from Vodafone. Purchases made online at vodafone.co.uk, in a Vodafone retail store or or by calling 08080 022 058 (lines are open seven days a week, 8am to 8pm. Calls are free from landlines and mobiles) will qualify for the scheme.

Half decent deal. Bite the bullet for 12 months cost-wise, flog the phone while it has decent resale value and then get the next flagship phone you fancy.

Hot! too bad I'm stuck with three till November
