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.

Just bought it. Phone at the same cost as buying from Samsung ( on their £57 a month Paypal deal) or Sim Free and £7 a month for 10 GB download. As long as it includes VAT and taxes on the phone contract. But that was not listed so it shouldn't be added . Got TopCahback £45 for the order.

lolololol

I'm still undecided as my contract not done until June but i can upgrade in April but Vodafone are trying to get me to sign up for another 24 months but ideally want a 12 month contract next I don't know what to do as can't afford to pay 2 contracts but i really want this phone lol

Fatal school boy error. It's not plastic but damage-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass.

Anyhow you are no different than those people who say why pay more for a nice swiss made automatic time piece when you can get a £10 casio from argos to do the same job or even more accurately.

In life there are two types of people. One that appreciate having nice quality items that they work hard for or the other who think everything is metal and plastic. Actually theres a third, the ones that show off and think they are super cool because they have the latest smart phone, etc.

I know which one i'd rather be and it's not the last two.

i recently took advantage of the o2 refresh deal thinking i got a bargain on a 64gb s6 black/blue/purple. Now theres a new shiny black s7 out and the resale value of the s6 has dropped dramatically.

hmm o2 won in the end.

I'm aware of it's specs and everything else probably even more than you are... If you are trust fund kid with money to blow on useless crap than sure buy it, if I have to work for my $ I will just think twice after all it's just an piece of plastic/metal!

Now this is how you dig yourself deeper in a hole lol. You have a lot to learn my friend unless you are a senior citizen in which case your viewpoint is not uncommon.

Anything but black. One thing keeping me from biting on this is its black.

price drop on this is inevitable once retailers will get stock.

anything similar for the s7 (non edge)?

lol.. at the comments above..

i think samsung phones are too expensive and they loose their value very quickly.

come on keep it friendly on here no need for this comment

Jokes on you I don't even have a gf :disappointed:

what will this phone do much better than my £70 moto g 3rd? Serious question.
can It cook breakfast for me or at least take out the trash?
Phones have come to a point where all their improvement is having an extra gb of ram every year and larger screen.. shocking I know but my 1gb ram motorola can do the same stuff this phone can, maybe it will take 1/10 of a second longer but generally it will do the same thing on the same OS.

lol i hope this helps a few people out. There will be people who think spending this much on a phone is stupid but if add in the actual min/txts and data + cashback this is a really good deal i just wish i didnt have to wait to april to upgrade as i tried getting this deal from vodafone directly but they wanted £229 up front so i said i would wait

​Clearly this phone isnt for you, so why are you on this thread

​Ouch. Well said. With their mentality, the tech world would stand stil

Lose the Arsenal badge and more heat may be applied to this deal.

How do you get quidco cashback? The deal is through uswitch and clicking the link takes you to the basket with the deal. If you go to the website directly (or via quidco), this deal is not in the list

Sony phones don't sell. The ridiculous business model of releasing a new flagship every 6 months was ridiculous.

​Yep, read something that supporters that. seems daft not to have a premium line up so definately considering S7 Edge.

my contract ends in June but my upgrade is April they said i can upgrade today on the £50 a month tariff which is the same as this 1 but its for 2 years and I get the vr headset as a free gift and also get 20% off that through there VEA programme so brings price down to £40 a month which is decent but i dont want to be tied down to them for another 2 yrs lol

April. Shouldnt you be able to upgrade now. My upgrade with three wasn't due until June and I can upgrade now at a cost of £104

My upgrade isnt due until april but i want this phone and dont wan to wait until then lol so i have 2 options I can either have 2 contracts going or buy out the remaining months of my current contract which will cost me £100 to do and sign up for this 1 decisions decisions !!!.

Ha! micro SD is back

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.

Hot if you really must have the latest phone (which I use to be like), but if not, there are much better options and alternatives.

Not voting either way.

CASHBACK INCREASE FROM £30 TO £45

£64 a month for a phone is crazy. Most I've ever paid is £18 on a nexus 5. Go look at the competition, I don't think this is worth over 4x more than a Huawei honour 5x or 3x a one plus 2 or 3x a g4....

thanks

Why get a new tv, laptop, watch, tablet etc etc. Believe it or not some people just like having high end goods rather than trying to make people envious.

This is a great deal but I really want the Gold version. Not keen on black.

​It's water and dust resistant, it's a point and shoot camera in terms of quality (wouldn't need a camera for holiday, I didn't take one because I had my S6). It's faster and can do more things at once. Viewing content is more enjoyable (more comfortable if you want to compare it with the car analogy) I watch a lot of videos on my phone so it makes a difference. It charges faster and will last longer. It looks nicer. Soooooo, yeah.

"checking time/email/listening to radio and some occasional web browsing?"

If that is your requirements from a phone, the moto g is even overpriced for your needs, you could get one for around £50 that will do all of that fine.

Kept in a raised case since day one.
It won't...but you are not the type of market that's catered for...it's like buying a £1500 laptop when your needs will be fine for a £250 one. But as to your question it can do a hell of a lot more but you won't have use for it

I already know that it has much better cpu/ram/screen resolution but how will it help me in my daily task of checking time/email/listening to radio and some occasional web browsing? are you sure that the 10x more expensive phone will do it soooo much better when already 10x less expensive one can do the same thing without a fault? It's not like I'm comparing an smartphone to a button phone since they both can make calls/text, that argument is just stupid...

Please educate a fool like me.
Probably 99% of the people who buy the latest flagship think their friends will envy them, but do you really care yourself what kind of phones your mates got? It's not exactly a new technology where only few people have it.

Last time I checked I wasn't Google or gsmarena. I referred you to a place where you can start your education and you haven't opened your mind to the possibility you are incorrect. I suggest you open your mind to this possibly of incongrous thinking. If you think I'm just simply going to easily answer your question, which of course I could, well I'm afraid this is too much fun for me to resist.

Start with gsmarena and then come back possibly for more berating of your closed minded thinking :smiley: In fact you miss the absolute obvious in 'sooo what exactly it will do so much better?' I would start here and rationalise your thinking, you now have a reference point to begin to evaluate if your assumptions are correct or incorrect. Good Luck I feel you will need it.

sooo what exactly it will do so much better?
it's not a car, it's a piece of plastic/metal with a screen which you keep in your pocket to tell time for you or check on your email 99% of the time.

well at least be glad you didnt smashed it or lost somewhere.

Umm, yes it is! Officially the 11th, but released for some preorders 3 days early... 12 days from today :smiley:

I know I just meant it doesn't mean 12 days from release date.

Yeah - what he said - Sony Confirms the Xperia Z Series is Done

Allow 12 days for delivery. What's that about.

Bought my S6 Edge 64 GB for around 530 on release...sold it for 360 a year later...not really that bad

I've upgraded early on three but may cancel now. 12 month contract is perfect.

In 12 Months time it will be worth £76.80

Best deal I have seen is the official recharging battery kit for £21 for the S5.
Giving me double battery life and
Saving me about £750 over the year.


:wink:

A lot of people talking about depreciation.

yes in 6 months time the phone will be worth £350. but at the moment its selling at its RRP.

Do u get free VR with this contract?

Very true. Definitely the phone I'm after at mo!

Damn. I wish I didn't have to wait 2 months foe my current contract!

Right, this deal is sat at 98 deg so needs a push. Heat.

I read somewhere that someone contacted Samsung about not getting the headset with there contract pre-order and they said to send in there contract details and if the company offering the contract dont supply 1 then Samsung will send them 1 out instead. I cant remember which site i seen this on though

Pretty sure if it's not stated specifically on the website then you won't get the headset. CPW do it, as does Samsung direct and EE/Voda/Three direct, with O2 instead offering a Jabra sport pulse bluetooth earphone set worth £150 RRP (but £99.99 on amazon).

This would be a killer deal if it come with the VR headset, sell that for £50+ and its a fair price.

Tempted as due an upgrade but do Vodafone android phones have bloatware on them and added vodafone splash screens?

Still thinking sim free is the way to go

Has anyone got the latest employee advantage discount employee list

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

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.

http://support.vodafone.co.uk/Offers-and-rewards/Vodafone-Advantage/57873104/Do-I-qualify-if-I-buy-with-Partners-Carphone-Warehouse-or-Quidco.htm

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.

Cheers i always do a 12 month deal

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.

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