It's a dangerous game telling other people how to spend their money, it's usually just best to mind your own business and not worry about anyone else's.

There is also a £30 off voucher for orders over £500 -SAMSUNGSAVE30

Not bad deal if you can afford it. Personally I am holding out for 3 months with my note 4.
I think after 3 months we can look at more affordable plans (you are paying the flagship premium). Looking for value and I think current price does not justify value.

I gave it heat but not for me.

Link initially took me to page with insurance included.
Now when I click insurance is £99.

Sounds but but you don't own the phone do you, deal is you give one handset back and upgrade or have I got it wrong - terrible deal if you give it back.

Other issue is the T&C state upgrade is not guaranteed and they can withdraw that at any time ???

OP's deal is for 6, 12, 18 or 24 months interest free credit through paypal credit.

You are referring to Samsung upgrade programme which is completely different.

Nope thats the upgrade plan you are looking at. This is just simple finiance purchase via Paypal credit. You own the phone from day one, albeit you will have a debt a with paypal (essentially a virtual credit card).

I saw the option but from what I know, taking out finance lowers credit score? or am I wrong? Either way I've already pre ordered via bank transfer so it's not too important, I'm not familiar with finance/loans I was just taught to use cash lol...

That's the upgrade program, this is just a straight purchase with 0% finance off paypal.

Taking finance wont lower your credit rating. If paid on time over the term it will increase it in the long run.

Something like this is actually good for someone with limited credit history who wants to build on it.

I buy something on short term credit every couple of years. Settled accounts drop off after 6 years so its always good to have one to replace them.

Is the link working for anyone? Worked for me at first but looks like an affiliate link has been added and now going to normal page.

I added the correct link but as usual site is playing up.

Not saying this is a bad deal but (It's a lot to fork out in 1 go for a phone so can understand why people would want to use this)
But How is this not cold when it is the full RRP but deals for the same phone £50 cheaper are going cold? or have the apple fan boys just not seen this deal yet? lol

Anyone who gets work perks thinking of buying this check them out first, got mine for £627

Because it enables people to get a shiny new phone without having to spend over 600 quid in one go:).

Perfect! That works again. Cheers mate.

Ummm what? You must be blind not to see iPhone deals getting voted to -500. This is a different deal than $50 off. This allows to pay off the device interest free in up to 24 months.

Did this offer last year with the S7 Edge 12months interest free. Heat added.
The phone will go down in price in a few months but this is great for getting the new phone as soon as its out spreading the cost interest free.
As tempting as it is im going to stick with my S7edge (unless this deal gets the better of me like it did last time)

Is anyone getting the Option when going through the PayPal Credit Option where It's not allowing you to Select the PayPal Credit Option on the PayPal Checkout? We've logged in and out so many times now and we Just can't get it to work. It's asking us to Pay the Final Amount outright on Card at £689.00 etc

So after doing like you did, I thought it would be applied and checked out...
Got an email stating I have been charged full price!
Opened a dispute with Samsung via Paypal and emailed Paypal as well!

​thanks corrected

Worked for me.

Chose 6 month option, transfered to paypal to apply, got credit limit then transfered back to samsung to confirm order. At final stage I think it showed full amount but somehere on page said paypal credit.
Page crashed while waiting for confirmation but came through by email.

Turns out there some sort of issue with PayPal Credit on my partners account. It won't let you select the Option on the Final Checkout to Change Funding Source to PayPal Credit. The Option just simply isnt there. I tested it on my own paypal and the option appears fine as PayPal Credit. Calling PayPal to Resolve it as this wasn't working the other day either.

Just tried it on my laptop instead of phone and works ok....

Highly priced. Same spec phones are selling 1/2 of the price. Cold.

All do not forget to use - SAMSUNGSAVE20
Get another £20 off!

Damn!

Cancel and re-order, they do not take payments until release date

Cheers just ordered with the £20 off voucher but I selected the 24 month option on the Samsung page but PayPal only offered 4 months 0% for some reason.

There is also a £30 off voucher for orders over £500 -SAMSUNGSAVE30

Thanks

those codes didn't work for me (:

Still think a conventional sub £45 contract is better especially those taking a 24 1mth Finance deal. You pay what £33 odd a month for the phone then have to go do some cashback SIM only deal for say £10. Just hassle and at the moment even Vodapoo do 24Gb.

Order placed but both voucher codes did not work for me, ah well. Now to search for a good sim only deal.

Will I be able to take the s8+ on flights as per the new rules ?

Is there more than one Perk/Business offer company for Samsung? My employer is part of the Samsung EPP, but it's not giving me any discount on the RRP for either of the phones. The best I could manage through work perks would be an 8% saving if I waited and bought it outright from Currys/Argos after release.

Make sure you use caps

"We're sorry, but PayPal Credit isn't available for this purchase". Doh!

Ordered at 12 months 0% with the insurance free using the £30 off code. Thanks!

I did mate but it keeps saying error validating code, will try when I get home from work

I got 9% through Argos, had to go in store to pre-order but it'll be delivered April 20th :smiley:

It is a finance deal, even if its 0% interest, and will result as a hard search on your credit file. It may have a small effect, though if you have applied for other credit recently, including switching banks, switching utilities (for some companies), or switched mobile providers (some companies) you may already have recent hard searches and so it would have a bigger effect. However your score is only seen by you and not by those you want credit from.

Got a theory for anyone where the code isn't working - Make sure you have set up an account and are logged in - the samsungsave30 worked for me - worth a try. If you have an account you can also easily cancel any orders without having to email or call Samsung.

Too bad we won't be getting Snapdragon 835 processor so they can sod off to US n Asia

Just a side matter, but does anyone else think 'unbox your phone' is a really poor slogan? I'm sure they could have done better, unless I just don't get it?

Still keeping my Note 4 too. Essentially there is no good reason to upgrade as most of the features are still not better enough from the Note 4. I used to change my phone every month when phones where evolving like viruses.

Thanks for the advice but it didn't work :/

got this offer on my company perks and also got 10% cash back bonus one month free payment and some

It's a play on the word 'box' which is used to describe old screen format/design. That is my take.

Currently in Dubai and they have this to play with in the mall. Hands on it's a stunning phone. Simply beautiful and the best looking phone hands down. Screen looks amazing with less bezel and like the curves on the back. Fluid software and for me only two faults. One; screen protector and case nightmare! Plus 64gb internal is much better then last years effort, but ideally for me.... I'd want 128gb or higher. Some things you cannot transfer onto memory card. Have the iPhone 7 plus and tempted to swap. As for the deal, heat from me.

​Another Note 4 user here holding on. I used to upgrade every opportunity I could at renewal time. But I just can't see anything that makes me want to leave my Note 4. The S8+ sure looks nice, but nothing jumps out enough to make me want to move. Samsungs own fault for making the Note 4 so bulletproof lol. I could be tempted by the Note 8, but I damn sure won't be spending £45+ a month to get one.

That's simply unacceptable your majesty.
I shall get to it and ensure someone at PayPal recevines a damn good garotting.

£689 for a phone, rather go on holiday.

I did that, and fell off a cliff, couldn't phone anyone, fortunately I was found by a pirate who had an iPhone 7 and they cost quite a bit those phones. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

Why lie? No phone has Snapdragon 835 SOC in it yet apart from S8, in the UK we get Exynos 8895 and no phone has the power of that SOC in it apart from Apple iPhone 7 series and they aren't half the price of this phone. No phone has this design until the iPhone 8 arrives much later this year.

So yeah I call you out on you can get an equivalent phone for half the price because you can't, so yes I'm calling you out for being untruthful.

Would rather use a credit card that offers Section 75 protection and a longer term at 0%.

Does anyone know if you can pay extra per month if you have the money or do PayPal only take the set amount per month?

Why does anyone buy a Ferrari or Lamborghini at almost twice the price of a Nissan GTR even though they're both built for the same thing and have the same performance?
People who can afford to buy it do so because they can. They don't mind paying a large premium for having something that's made with a more luxurious/high quality feel, a more modern attractive design and for the smaller quirks that people may value.

If you don't understand it or can't afford it, that's fine. But no need to vote cold because it's a good deal for THIS product, not in comparison to a DIFFERENT product - even if in your eyes they're the same.

You do know that Samsung's Exynos chip is noticeably faster than the Snapdragon 835 right? Was the same story with the S7. People in regions with the Snapdragon are actually upset they're not able to get the Exynos chip, so we're the lucky ones.

Exactly the same for me. So is yours 24 months with only 4 months interest free or just 4 months interest free?

Yeah, loads of phones for half the price with basically a full-fronted curved display that looks ultra-futuristic with the quality of Samsung and UK support. What's more likely is you're bitter that you can't afford one and justify that comment by lashing out at others that do want to spend their money on one...

£700 for a phone is just madness, even if you're getting it on finance.

If you can't afford it, then don't buy it. This is how people get themselves into financial difficulties.

They'll be a newer phone in 12 months or less in any case.

I only got the 4 months 0% interest. Anyone know how to extend it?

It's a dangerous game telling other people how to spend their money, it's usually just best to mind your own business and not worry about anyone else's.

Bought the S7 edge with the 0% deal last year, 12 months was the only option then. Great deal, managed to pay it off early also! Tempted by this lol

This 18:9 aspect ratio is awful

18:5.9 included*

​i would like to know this as well. if you can, is it without early repayment penalties??

Mine did the same but when i go to paypal and look at pending transaction, it shows the 6 month deal I chose.

Spend what you can afford; not more than you can, to avoid worrying at a later time.

LG G6 has the same ratio. I also notice other people siding with me on the screen resolution and VR >

http://www.expertreviews.co.uk/samsung/1405747/samsung-galaxy-s8-review-hands-on-with-that-jaw-dropping-189-screen

"RoyB • 5 days ago
With the S7, Samsung hitched their waggon pretty firmly to VR with the Gear VR. But anyone who has tried it can tell you the one thing the S8 desperately needed to strengthen its place in VR was a 4K screen. So for me, the S8 is notable not for what it has but for what it lacks. I guess they decided to hold it over for the S9, but that leaves the gate open for someone else to nip in and take the lead. Sony, maybe?......"

Interestingly the to be released Sony XZ Premium has a 4K IPS screen but no VR platform, so Sony missed a trick there unless they have a secret up their sleeve.

What does that have to do with this thread? Go outside maybe it's nice and sunny today at least where Iive and mind your own business, if I or anyone else want to spend £689 on a phone, you're not going to tell me how stupid I am, I already know the answer and it's my business and nothing to do with you. So your advice is not needed.

Completely irrelevant. Well done, you!

Why is everyone so paranoid about credit rating? I've never financed, bank loaned or credit carded anything in my life and we got mortgage easy peasy.

I have no doubts that the screen tech'll be great, but the compatibility will be an issue for a while and Android is generally slow on uptakes. Not to mention one handed usage!

VR is a gimmick for now, there aren't any killer apps. It's a fun pass time.

The Xperia XZ Premium is the only phone worth having HDR on since its in 4k res. The Samsung and LG resolution isn't supported.

Think Sony should've slimmed down the bezels abit and offered a bigger battery. Would have been great, but at least it has stereo speakers!

The 4 months is the standard paypal literature, however when you go through with this offer you will get the option you choose, mine said 4 months, but the purchase works out 0% over the 2 year period, I also applied the voucher no problem without being signed into my Samsung account, ensure you use capital letters and do it on your laptop. Great offer, with a decent SIM only deal it works out alot less than the mobile providers can offer, I will pay it off earlier than the 2 years but if its there at 0% its worth doing in my opinion! Cheers OP.

Is the first 4 0% interest and the other 2 months with variable 17% interest rate?

Yes, you can make payments at any point. I did the 12 months last year and paid it off in 7.

Is 4k on a mobile phone going to be noticeable, even with VR experience, I had the nexus 10 tablet which had a 4k res, my next 10 inch tab was a a Sony z2 and even without the 4k the screen was far superior and a better experience, I think on anything less than a 46 inch TV its about HDR and contrast more than the the 4k resolution. Im no expert though, and just going on my experience.

Technicallyy, the galaxy S8 doesnt have a 18:9 ratio. Or an 18.5:9 ratio,
It has a 18.6875:9 ratio.
Lel.

Ahhhh was the moment I was supposed to mildly laugh at your non amusing anecdote? Forgive me whilst I find the Ignore button. Back in your hole you go. :man:

This or the CPW same price but with free £100 speaker...

Thanks, cancelled my original pre-order and gone for this! :smile:

You get £20 off at Samsung using the code and the speaker is only good if you need one as I doubt you'll get anywhere near £100 selling it on.

The codes don't seem to work at the moment.

Same here codes arent working

Not sure the Nexus 10 had a 4k screen, but I see what you mean.

I think there's more of a justification for 4k rather than Qhd just because 4k is a standard.

Most of the time, I'm guessing the UI will run at 1080p or you'd pick for it to run at that except for multimedia playback.

Right, i went to the paypal website seperately and applied. Lets see if it appears there now

Anyone know if I can cancel my pre-order/upgrade at three?

Right order placed. But no email confirmation or anything

​plus see what's happening with the note 8 too.

And how do we pay paypal credit every month?

Open a new very account and use the 10% off code then pay interest free over 12 months

I am keeping eye on Note8 and galaxys8+

Not rushing to upgrade but would love to have a solid device as good quality as note4 which has served me well over 2 years.

Considered having apple but no memory card and closed OS wont work for me.

Gona have to sit on my hands patiently till it all lines up :smiley:

Yeah but guys 689 for a phone? No way.

I've always put off buying a Samsung for two reasons.
1) physical home button (old fashioned and always first to wear out)
2) Back should be on the left FFS! The S8 allows you to change this.

I pre ordered this and it's my first Samsung phone, I'm hoping it doesn't disappoint. If it does I'll give it to the wife and stick with my HTC 10 lol

Have a look around all flagships are a similar price. It's ludicrous I know but if you want a flagship phone then you need to pay the premium, otherwise wait and buy last year's flagship.

Right, thanks for letting us know.

Found out PayPal Credit have Restricted my partner from purchasing anything via PayPal Credit till we arrive back onshore in the UK on Wednesday. We're currently away abroad on Holiday and due to security measures they've blocked her from using it. It's ridicules. We don't get any time to browse the web most of the time as we're both busy working and when we go on holiday are looking at getting a few things for the house & The New S8 etc the more frustrating thing is that this only affects her PayPal account where as mine is perfectly fine so there is no consistently to be justifiable.
Hopefully this Deal sticks around till Wednesday when we're back at home!

Right :smile:

Use a VPN.

S8 Plus £30 code worked plus quidco 3% £14.98 tracked already paypal credit offer £31 24x £749

Dont worry aslong as you selected the 24Month option your be good will show 24 month when you log in to paypal.

How do you get the mobile care and use the voucher when you go through quidco?

add it to your basket using the link from here, then close the browser, go through quidco link and it should still be in your basket

Tried :disappointed: Say's won't checkout without Java with most, Then when I get to the PayPal Screen won't let me Login & Times out to white screen

Annoying. Couldn't someone back home do it for you?

deal price in title should be amended to reflect the £30 off code available, bringing cost of deal down to £659 - which is a fairly good deal

If you have the cash already but rather have invested in an s&s ISA or a 4%+ savings account then great. If You're buying this on finance because you don't have £700 in your account then you need to give your head a wobble and sort your finances out.

£14.98 Quidco tracked for me.

​Thank you, that seemed to work

Pretty sure 4+% savings accs don't exist at the moment... even 3% are quite rare. Re Stocks and shares - come with inherent risk so not really comparable.

Not going to get as per last thread about the S8, thanks to Sammies blatant disregard for those of us in the UK compared to the rest of the world. We get NOTHING extra (just get the handset a few days early), others are getting the Gear VR headset plus bonus FREE games, plus for $99 they get the AKG headphones plus 256gb micro SD card. In Korea they are getting the 6gb version with a FREE dex (albeit they have to pay $1k for the handset). After the note 7 fiasco this is what they offer UK owners, I got stung badly with the NOTE 7 with all the accessories & other specific items i had purchased for it, got NO compensation yet the Americans did! Thanks Samsung

Thanks op

only credit available is PayPal, is that right?

edit: nevermind, they declined me for some reason, **** paypal

Tempting but i will wait for the a couple of months for the prices to fall, I got a brand new S7 edge for £370 3 months after release from cash converters :smiley: vote hot for the finance deal though

Phone will last longer then holidays.

Is there any way you can get the 0% finance and the free Wireless Speaker some retailers is offering?

Yes they do. 5% with Nationwide.

Nationwide pay 5% on their bank account, plus 5% regular saver.

edit, didn't see above

The 5% on bank account is only on £2500 and for 12 months.
I used to get it and if nothing else interest went towards my flex plus fee.

The regular saver is interesting, although only for 12 months and you start with a balance of zero and add a max of £500 per month.
Might actually open one.

At least this time you are talking in the first person. I suppose the us and we pretence drops when one means business.

Badass

Dammn...... when will Galaxy S8 & Galaxy S8+ going to launch on Japan. Can't wait for those phones to get on hands

Do you still get the Samsung care cover if you pay in full using the £30 off code?

Looking to upgrade the trusty Note 4.

Try Wonga.com instead? Or stick to the £300 S7 :wink:

What?

Does this mean 24 months 0% interest or 4 months 0 % interest and the rest standard interest rate?

nah, i'll either get it outright on a sim free in June or stick with my current phone

depends if i want to spoil myself

edit: I also wouldn't recommend someone to use wonga, even in a joking manner

Well it should be 0 for 24months as it stated on the Paypal page.

But it might cost you a few dollars more. Do you feel lucky?

hot hot hot.....best deal for a second phone.....first phone being iphone 7 plus 256gb.....can't complain.

Wow, listen to 'Billy Two Phones'. Tell me, is it not a bit weird having phones that are worth more than your car?

Some of the things people choose to spout BS about...

doesn't work for me. says:
Return to Samsung

At this time, we are unable to process your request. Please return to Samsung and try another option

Like it when people call me 'Billy Two Phones'......Car is also on 0% deal mate so no worries there either.....blessed or what.....a word of advice don't spend money on games console or sky crap....you will be able to afford phones and cars easily. Enjoy your miserable day and keep making silly assumptions.

Haha, are you back to school tomorrow, or do you have another week off yet?

Join me when you want to learn how to afford two phones...you wouldn't have to work like a d*g ever again.

I honestly can't possibly imagine having the wealth to own two phones, sounds amazing. What do you need two for exactly?

Oh, just thought, I could sell my watch and buy 5 or 6 of these, not sure of the point though.

doesn't work for me. says:

Been using HD for years and have never got round to making an account! However, I have finally used this deal to upgrade from my s5 and too right I want everyone to know it! :smiley:

It's nothing to do with me, however you are portraying yourself as a complete and utter knob.

...Also, I had both problems that have been on this thread, £30 off code didn't work first 2 times but strangely worked the third! I also saw only 4 months 0% credit but like mentioned before, as long as you selected which ever length of time you wanted, this will show up on the next pages, worked for me perfect, £30 off and 24 month 0% :smiley:

Don't forget your £14.98 Quidco guys and girls on this deal.

Joking apart.
These are interesting times for the smartphone market. 0% and discount from word go? . No doubt Samsung will have records launch sales as a result. I just wonder if Apple will cling onto their "we will always sell phones" mentality upon iPhone 8 launch? they will need to launch something utterly jaw dropping (unlikely) or rethink their launch strategy and pricing.

Fact is smartphone sales are in decline and that's likely why Samsung chose such a launch strategy.

Also £7 TCB

Those struggling to use the code, make sure this specific 8/8+ is the only S8 item in your basket (no accessories), if it detects other s8 products they wont apply - unless they already disabled the code again.

4 months 0% credit is related to other purchases as I was given £750 paypal credit which I used £689 (24x £28.71) and I have £61.00 remaining. Samsung offers up to 24 months interest free through PayPal credit and you will not be charged 17.9%

With the remaining credit can we use it for normal eBay purchases?

You're correct, screen res on Nexus 10 wasnt quite 4k, 2560 x 1600 but was much higher than the 1200 x 1920 z2 and side by side you would have picked the z2, Saying that I did get the screen replaced on the z2 as it failed with dead pixels... and its started to happen on the newer one, shame as its a decent tablet.

​yes, you can use it for anything that accepts paypal but ensure that it is paid off within the 4 month 0% then use it again

Your post made me think...
The current price for a S7E is £570 at CPW/Tesco/JL. when I bought mine this time last year, I did the Very deal which means I got it for about £510 (instead of £640). The price hasn't really dropped a great deal since last year, bearing in mind it wasn't even new in April last year was it!?

Just trying to convince myself I don't want the S8 yet either, but failing :smile: sure, may save £50 in 6 months time but if you're into flagships then that's not much in the grand scheme!

you set a direct debit using your bank account details on paypal account

Thanks OP, just ordered S8 in Orchid Grey for £659 plus Quidco has tracked i think. now need to sell my S7!

Guys, be advised that you could purchase the S8 for £639.95 and S8 plus for £719.95 elsewhere (e.g. ChitterChatter). Hence, if you purchase via this interest free means, you're not actually technically purchasing it interest-free because you're paying Samsung prices for the phone which are £30-50 more expensive compared with elsewhere. So consider the extra £30-£50 as the "interest".

Its not that price everywhere though mate.
Personally I'd rather pay the extra £20 and get from Samsung direct than buy from somewhere like that.
This also has free insurance, whether its up to much is debatable though.

Your call pal, but there's a couple of places doing it for the prices I've mentioned. And I've used ChitterChatter before by the way, have had no issues. :-)

With regards to the insurance, yes, that's a minor plus, but with so many exclusions listed, not sure whether it's really worth it though!

Yes its worth it , it's in installments ,plus you can get up £40 off through voucher codes and quidco or and you get Free insurance worth up to £100 .so yes it is.

Suppose it should be alright if you drop it and crack screen.
Not lost a phone yet, touch wood.

It worked out £659 and a tenner cashback.

Your right though, it can be had cheaper and sure some people will take advantage of that.

Lol. Totally wrong. If you have no credit footprint then no one will ever want to touch you! You need to have had various credit to make yourself attractive to. Banks etc!!

Not even free

i became a fan of Samsung since the S6, and last year i went with the Samsung upgrade programme which i though sounded like a good deal,....I paid a deposit of £68 then pay monthly for the phone. i got an email last week inviting me to upgrade, but to do that i need to pay another deposit and i am charged 14% on the deal. can someone please tell me how that is fair, especially since they are now advertising this at 0%. i have contacted Samsung to discuss, but have not heard anything back....very disappointed.

No way.

Sure there is. Get a 0% purchase credit card, there are several about...

iPhone 8 coming in 6 months time so better hold on

Over £1000

​I've confirmed my order with Samsung you fool it's there website :confused:

Its not fair us gets better offer free gear vr

https://samsungpromotions.com/infinitelyimmersive.html

Random question, but if I buy an S8 in the UK, will be work globally with other country Sims? What should I be looking out for - the compatible bands for 3/4G? Anything else?

I'll have a fiver on it being similar to the last 6 releases still with awful iOS squares.

Is that confirmed? Didn't know Apple had released the phone and pricing yet....

Well the art of Phishing is to make it look like a proper website, even redirect to a proper website, but god knows what javascript has done in the between. I have gone through the process with the console debugger on, and nothing dodgy is running on the application side, I was just asking because it was early on the morning and I was on my phone.

I'm still staying strong at the mo no order yet. But have been thinking about it most of yesterday.

​my spoke to PayPal they've confirmed it for me but I get your concerns

expired now :disappointed:

SAMSUNGSAVE20 to get £20 off
SAMSUNGSAVE30 to get £30 off

Has anyone tried SAMSUNGSAVE799 yet?

Expired :disappointed:

mobile care light offer expired.
£20/£30 off code expired

Has anyone ever made use of Samsung's 28 day money back guarantee? I've had iPhones for years and fancy trying an S8, but would like to be able to send it back if I decide it's not for me.

Has anyone who has ordered this successfully checked their Order Status?

I placed mine before it got expired and it says 'Discontinued'. Samsung said that they will be cancelling orders as they only had a very limited number of these. Can anyone else confirm if there status said that?

Yeah mine states 'discontinued' now, I'll be mighty peed off if so, haven't heard anything from Samsung yet?

Just sent an email to them and now awaiting a reply.

I just talked to CS, my order is fine, shows discontinued as they dont have the stock yet apparently.

Where did Samsung say they are canceling orders?

09/04 @ 6:49 pm was when my order was placed

I spoke on the phone to cs was told it just says that due to no stock and lots of people have called but its fine

I'm confused as to how they can have a limited number anyway it's just the phone and some insurance how can there be a limit? Any limit would be self imposed by Samsung

No, its gonna be around £750-800

Oh wow I missed that leak, what version of Android will it be?

I thought about getting a note 4 for the mhl but settled on a blackberry z10 with hdmi fantastic media phone and only 19.25 gbp

They never guaranteed to give you upgrade at 0%. It's same old same old with all customers new ones get the best deals and old ones get shafted.
You Shouldham read the t and c before you took it out

Correct me if Im wrong here....

From Samsung
-------
Based on cost of S8 at £689. Total amount payable is £783.14 spread across a 24 month term at an interest rate of 14.9% p.a. (fixed) equating to monthly payments of £29.76 and an initial deposit of £68.90. 14.9% APR
-------
Pay £68.90 deposit.

If you upgrade after 12 months its 12 monthly payments of £29.76 which include 14.9% apr. You dont pay the interest for year 2.

Total paid in the year is £426.02, which is £263.97 short of RRP. So your basically getting that value trade in after a year.

Hand back phone and upgrade to latest model by paying deposit and starting another 24 month contract.

Seems fair enough to be honest. They could get rid of the deposit but youd just pay for it in the monthly payments instead.

Starting a new 24 month contract seems fair enough as well, its well documented in T&Cs.

i chose the 12 month 0% payment through paypal and accepted for the finance. but in paypal it just says the whole payment to Samsung for the phone and I cant find the monthly breakdown payments. anybody knows where can I check for my chosen plan?

On the mobile site when i go to "Activity" it shows a payment for full amount.

Clicking on the payment brings up more detais and mine is as follows.

10 April 2017
Samsung Electronics (UK) Limited
-negative £659.00
Payment
Paid with
PayPal Credit
6x£109.84

​sweet! checked mine using apps said nothing but when i login using mobile browser i can see the monthly payment details..cheers...

PayPal pay Samsung in full once the payment goes through PayPal take monthly payments off you through direct debit ​

I assume everyone's order is currently at the - Not Processed, Explanation stage?

What work perks?

Iphone 9 coming in 1.5 years so better hold on
Samsung 9 coming out next year so better hold on
HTC 11 / 12 Out some time in the future so better hold on.

LOADS of phones coming out in the next year so better hold on...

OR... just buy the phone you want and dont change it every 6 months...

Bargain... will buy 2!

The iPhone with the curved screens that they've bought from Samsung? I'd be surprised.

Damnit! I've been umming and arring over this for ages, was just about to buy it but the £30 off code not working has put me off! I'll wait a bit to see if any more offers come up or those codes start working again.

compared to samsung, yes

Pre ordered mine through Very using a 10% discount code with Buy Now, Pay Later 12 months interest free. Including delivery is £705 for the S8 Plus. Much cheaper then this and a better deal so Cold from me

This has insurance + 2 year normal warranty

Very delivers 05/05/2017
Samsung delivers on or before 21/04/2017

+plus it's pay over 24 months spreading cost :smiley:

Samsung are getting desperate for you're cash.

If the phone was that great they would not give you 0% finance...

Paypal is offering 0% finance (On anything, not just this product). Not Samsung...

Not really. They still have a huge market share. More realistic is that phones have reached the point now that they are powerful enough that people don't really need to upgrade every two years. Never mind every year. In a years time, this phone will not be obsolete. Or anywhere close to it. So why bother upgrading?

So they have to find ways of getting people to upgrade. Cos there are few features they can add now that make an upgrade a "must have".

0% finance offers is one way.

Stopping support for a phone long before it's hardware is obsolete is another. And Samsung are very good at it. Which is why I gave up on them after the Note 3 and switched to Nexus devices. At least now I get now Android versions before they are a year or two old. (eg. The Note 4 will likely never get Nougat. And the Note 5 is only slowly trickling through now. Maybe. Whereas my 6p was running it within hours of release ...)

"The complimentary Samsung Mobile Care Light offer has now expired."

:disappointed:

I voted Hot but the reality is If this is anything like the last Galaxy Note it won't need anymore heat ...

Your not you're.

Apple offers 0% finance on their phones as well; it's a way of getting these phones into peoples' hands without a massive upfront payment, the same way the phone networks do it, and generally looks a lot more attractive at £40-50 a month than a whopping £700-ish in one go.

Sad days that you have to take a loan to purchase a phone - no wonder they keep hiking the prices to ridiculous levels!

Not when iphone will be more expensive... but hey... I dont like either so who cares?

Smart Mobile Company are doing an amazing deal

I almost got the deal for £40.50 a month but sadly I missed out on it... but its a fantastic deal if you are looking for a new phone contract

https://www.smartphonecompany.co.uk/contract-mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s8-plus-64gb-orchid-grey

Finally replaced my Note 4....And with a budget £200 Lenovo P2 and couldn't be happier, was the only phone out there (s8 included) that actually offered something meaningful to replace the Note 4. Other than pointless screen upgrades and other useless 'features' the P2 has a monster battery..... imo it's the biggest issue with all smartphones now but manufacturers just keeping throwing the same 3000mah batteries in flagships...With the 5100mah battery in the P2 I'm seeing 3 days heavy use between charges. Pointless benchmarks suggest otherwise but the P2 is faster than my Note4 in daily use as well. Totally amazing phone for £200

Or perhaps the strategy is to get a huge launch lead to make competition difficult to catch up?

So glad I got a OnePlus 3 for £309 last summer. less than half the cost of the S8.

yea its not as good tho.. lol

i dont think the s8 is 1/2 better..

Agree 1 years insurance is useful but find the information confusing - •12 months cover for free (£50 excess applies) Edit - 12 months cover no longer aval . Gives the impression it is not insured. If it is, just what is no longer available? 2 year Warranty applies regardless of which retailer you purchase it from.



Would rather wait a couple of weeks and save £75. Understand why people want to get their hands on it sooner but not a biggie for me

I preordered on first day the S8+ from very with 20% off. £643 including delivery on 20th April. I was lucky with this price and date!

​Thanks for the info. I may have to go into a shop and have a play with a P2. Nice to hear a comparison side by side to a Note 4 from someone that has actually had both phones rather than an online comparison so thank you.

This post is expired.

The complimentary insurance isn't included anymore which makes this deal RRP.

My S7 has been having issues for a while now but is still under warranty, been meaning to get to a Samsung store and was hoping they will replace with a new one. Would I have any chance of them replacing for an S8 (if I paid additional money of course). I believe Apple used to do something similar if phone was broken and under warranty

Fairplay to you. I dont think i would be satisfied with p2. Yes battery is great (i do carry powerbank so battery life is a non issue with me) is the camera as good as new samsung models? Yes i know you spend £200 for it and its not fair to compare it with s8 or s8+.but i agree that there is nothing on the market that gives us note4 users a decent upgrade at a decent price. I think Q3 is when that gap might be bridged with note4 landing and galaxy s8 selling for a reasonable price.

Hard to resist some of these offers as i would like decent replacement for phone.

Pair this up with a SIMO deal and its the cheapest way to an S8 as the networks are profiteering on handset contract deals.

The £30 off, the free insurance and the separate chitter chatter deal have all gone now :disappointed: Back to £689 which imo is just too high now.

Expired now. Came here for the included cover but no longer available so please expire.

You should take a look at one, you may be surprised. I actually think the build quality is up there with the best flagships, premium feeling metal body and not a hint of flex anywhere. I thought the screen being only 1080p may be an issue for me but it genuinely is a lovely screen. It's an astonishing handset for the money...If it had a Samsung badge on the front I'd guess it would retail at around £400...
Slapped my work SIM in the second slot and no longer carrying two phones around . Happy days.
Camera isn't amazing but for the odd photo i take day to day it does the job just fine. Certainly no worse than the camera on my note 4.

No need to carry a power bank either....The P2 actually comes with an adaptor in the box that lets you use IT as a power bank :stuck_out_tongue:

Honestly the joy in not charging a phone for over 3 days.....

I've hammered the P2 today with browsing, mobile hotspot use and surfing and it's still sitting at 69% charged after 13hrs heavy use today

Check gsmarena battery table...
http://www.gsmarena.com/battery-test.php3

What is it with people getting all protective about their phones, and critical of other brands?
If you're happy with your Apple / Samsung / LG / generic Chinese knock-off then well done... no one else cares.

Apple never did that, they replace like-for-like under warranty - sometimes I've heard they changed the iPhone 4 for a 4s when it was nearing EOL. Possibly they would trade-in your old phone against the cost of a new one which would be minimal value. If they openly did this, everyone would be cashing in on it.

BUT I MADE A BETTER PHONE CHOICE THAN YOU MY PHONE IS BETTER THAN YOURS YOU ARE WRONG I AM THE RIGHT ONE I READ SOME COMMENT ON REDDIT THAT SAID APPLE BEATS CHILDREN SO YOU SUPPORT CHILD BEATING BY BUYING IPHONES

That's probably already been written in the comment section on this site somewhere...

...but glad I got my pre order in for the insurance and £30 off!

Hopefully they'll release the gold version with the Dex dock bundled in a few months.

So many people telling about their "other brand" phones. But if you're here looking at this deal and posting comments then it means there is a hole in your life for not buying a Samsung/iPhone lol.

Is anyone else's order still not processed? I ordered on the 9th at 08:41 and nothing has changed since then :/

Got an S8 on EE 25GB data, £170 upfront, £32 pm. :smirk:

retention deal?

Yeah that's right. Found the same on Vodafone, cancelled my EE, then they phoned me back and offered to beat it and waived the rest of my contract fee (£60). Bargain

I don't suppose you could link to the voda deal could you? I'd like to get me some of that sweet retentions action!

cheers,

Grim.

Sorry mate, it was only on for a few days I did post it on here but it got voted ridiculously cold (classic). I would find the best you can, and cancel your current contract, then they should match it. (you can always cancel your preorder.
I can't find anything close to the deal I got (£170 upfront, £32 pm 24gb) as the Vodafone data deal has now expired.

This is quite decent though - EE £125 upfront, £35.99 pm, 7GB

Cheers Matt,

That's a shame about your deal, think I'll hold out for another month and see if I can find a ridiculously cheap deal (haha!).

cheers,

Grim.

3% back from Quidco too

Yeah I'd hold out, see what comes up

my issue is though if you want to be in the upgrade programme and trade in on a yearly basis, its going to cost you around £100 for the privilege. if I got the S8 it would be 29.87 over 12 months =£358.44+the deposit you pay which is 68.90. therefore over the 12 months you pay = £427.34 to may, that's quite a lot. I think the fee that you need to pay every year to upgrade is ridiculous, and don't get why you need to pay it especially when you send the phone back the next year.

Expired

How far through the order does it let you put a discount code in? I have got as far as the paypal page where it asks you to accept the terms of the paypal credit (after choosing how many months interest free you require) but there is no option. Does it give you the option after you have accepted the pre contractual agreement with paypal (tick box) to enter a discount code? Thanks, Sukhi

The discount code & insurance offer ended 2 days ago...

Can you hand it in after a year and then not upgrade ? paying just £427.34?

The whole thing has expired hasn't it.

No the 0% finance is still available

I ordered Samsung Galaxy S8 Midnight Black + Mobile Care Light last week with PayPal finance when this deal was still on.

The Samsung order tracker is still showing the Main Status as Not Processed, and the "Samsung Galaxy S8 Midnight Black + Mobile Care Light" Remaining to be shipped as Discontinued.

Does anyone else see this, or know what is happening? Can't phone Samsung until tomorrow now.

Same here

Same here Ian so I wouldn't worry about it. I imagine they will process the order when they are shipping the stock. But by all means ring them tomorrow and let us know how you get on.

Anyone able to confirm if I'm ordering direct from Samsung, what day delivery will be made?

I'm traveling out of the county on Friday and hoping to get it Thursday?

Thanks.

I called last week and was told the order status was normal until they got the stock I'm guessing because it's a bank holiday nothing has happened

Mine also says discontinued.
So does that conventionally mean 20th - thursday delivered?

it's says will be processed between 19th 20th so wait 1,2 days to find out

i'm seeing the discontinued line for the mobile care light as well when i use the tracking. On papal it says its included.

this was one of the key reasons i went with the deal.

Samsung replied saying it should be shipped between 19-20th to be delivered by 21st. Hope it will arrive soon!

did you ask about the Samsung mobile insurance cover that should be included?

I placed an order about an hour ago, was accepted for paypal credit, chose the 24 month option and have received a confirmation email for the payment from paypal credit, but absolutely nothing from Samsung. Has anyone else experienced a delay in receiving a confirmation email from Samsung?

EDIT - never mind. About two minutes after I posted this the confirmation email came through.

No i didn't but they replied stating it is included in my order so should be fine.

Mine says shipped now. I'm assuming it will come tomorrow, not got a tracking number yet though.

Same here.

mine says not processed, ordered on the 9/4. when did you order?

Around about this time last week.

Mine still not processed yet

I ordered on 9/4 at 8:41 am and my order is currently in progress. Fingers crossed it gets shipped out in time for delivery tomorrow.

I ordered mine on 08/04 and still states not processed yet....
You would have thought they would process first those who ordered first

To be fair, they may have regional distribution centres and some regions may be quicker at dispatching than others!

Mines still not processed and switching from pre order now to in stock periodically

I'm not 100% sure why it works but you can use Expansys order tracking to get a more detailed description of your order. On Samsung my order is in progress, on Expansys it says that the order has finished processing and is waiting to be packed and shipped.

Edit: Order now shipped per Expansys and Samsung but no despatch email received yet. Odd.

fair point

Same here, still nothing came

Ordered mine on 8th and still no dispatch. Although its now changed from 'discontinued' to 'ordered on request'. I presume they must have had a sudden influx of calls from HUKD'ers.

Mine days shipped but no email.
Anyone know if the Samsung DeX is available anywhere.. Samsung shop says shipped from today but unable to order it?

i'm still at the awaiting processing stage but the mobile care has changed to ordered on request so i guess something is happening :-)

in progress :smile:

same - order is being processed :-) Gone for the S8+ hope its not too huge :-)

Status now changed to - Ready to Ship

"This order has completed processing and is waiting to be packed and shipped"


Just got an email from Samsung as well -

'Your order is currently being processed in our systems. Your order will be accepted by us (and a contract will then be formed between us) when we dispatch the goods to you. Title to the goods will pass to you on delivery. You will receive another email confirming the order has been dispatched.'

Expansys Notes now states - 19/04/2017 Sent email - Samsung UK Order Acknowledgement

shipped :stuck_out_tongue:

I've ordered the s8plus as well had a look at it in ee store doesn't look to bad :smiley:

Status - Shipped

Expansys - Explanation: All the items in this order have been shipped.

Hoping it may arrive tomorrow now!

Shipped

Anyone got a tracking number yet? I ordered a case as well separately, got the tracking number for that but not the phone.

No Tracking number as of yet.
I have read on another forum that although it says shipped it may actually be shipped tomorrow for delivery on Friday...

What case did you go for?

Just the clear cover. That would suck, I was expecting it tomorrow.

I ordered mine on preorder for 21st delivery with chitter chatter (under 700 pounds for the s8 plus. 711 without quidco which ended up tracking).

Received an email yesterday stating that due to deliveries not arriving, the phone won't come this week.

They're getting their shipment next friday now. I wonder if samsung has made a booboo and isn't admitting to anything.

say's its been shipped but no dispatch email or tracking... fingers crossed for today

I doubt it's going to be today without the tracking number. Probably tomorrow now. I ordered a case with mine which showed as shipped on Tuesday, didn't get the tracking number till yesterday. It's scheduled for delivery today. The phone was shipped a day later so my money is on tomorrow.

Did you get tracking with the phone?

No tracking number for the phone yet, I suspect we will get it today for delivery tomorrow.

I've received mine, came with a free black canvas Samsung bag and a small velvet pouch, bit of a comedown to the free vr headset I received last year with the S7 edge.

Did you receive a tracking number?

Fingers crossed my turns up at the office before 5 then. :smile:

Any news on the Samsung Gear VR with Motion Controller or purchasing controller separately ?

When the Samsung Convertible chargers will be getting shipped ?

just got my tracking information. its coming tomorrow. my order was placed on the 10th just for info.

They using ukmail.
Closest depot to me is milton keynes 23 miles away if i miss delivery.

Yes, they despatched last night and gave me an hour slot this morning, came about 9.20am.. I ordered on the 9th April.

Still nothing on ukmail.
Hope i get afternoon slot cos i do nights.
Dont wna sleep through it

Just spoke to Samsung -
If status says shipped but not tracking number, it means they are still preparing for shipment and we should recieve a tracking number some point today with an hour time slot for delivery tomorrow

Looks like I will be getting mine tomorrow then as no despatch email or delivery slot :disappointed: And I ordered on the 8th, how odd.

I ordered on the 8th too and just got my tracking number email so delivery tomorrow. I'm not happy that they lied about getting it 8 days before official release. I've fired an email to support stating how unlikely I'll be pre-ordering items directly from them in the future.

looks like my orders gone backwards lool from saying its been shipped its showing as "Awaiting Stock" and "We are currently awaiting the stock required to fulfil your order." :wink:

Mine shows the same thing. I got an email saying it's due for delivery tomorrow but when I click tracking it says awaiting stock.
The email also says "Please accept our apologies that if your tracking link is not updating. We are working to resolve this issue, please check your tracking link again later today." so im still expecting it to come tomorrow.

Just got the email :smiley:

Was the sales pitch not "up to 8 days early"?

Did you get a tracking number yet?

It may have been but I'm more annoyed that the order status turned to shipped at around 10pm last night so therefore my expectations was that it would be delivered today.

Yes ...But it want track on UK mail site think it might work later on

Same for me.

Usually "shipped" with these systems does not mean its left the building.
The item is scanned out and placed into bulk containers for courier collection.
If its late at night its almost certainly going to be picked up in morning.

Bit misleading I suppose.

Agreed - still, no harm in complaining to them about it. It isn't as if they didn't know how many handsets they'd need to get out the door and it isn't as if this is the first "hotly anticipated" phone they've released!

My email just said my order is being processed and expected delivery is tomorrow with a tracking button that leads to the Samsung page. All it says on their is shipped still with no other info. I didn't actually get a tracking number

I cancelled my 1st order and re ordered this deal for 24month interest free
the muppets have sent both phones :disappointed:

But the real question is, how many have you been charged for?

Gor tracking email from UK mail I had a choice of waiting for them to deliver or me to collect from there depot and I chose to collect from there depot (Middleton ) it's only 5 mins away :smiley:

Lucky fella. Im gna hav to wake up early and stay in all day incase i miss it.
25 miles away closest depot

Finally got a tracking email for UKMail and should get an 1hr time slot tomorrow morning....

I'm glad I went with Carphone warehouse in the end then - Got mine today - Its an amazing phone.

Ha, did the same thing, I don't finish work till 7 and the depot is a 5min detour to work so i might aswell

Same old ukmail

Didnt get a notification that im next which i ticked. Driver came 20minutes before allotted time and left card. No phone nunber to ring them and get drivers location. Now a 1 hour trip to get the phone from local depot

How is everyones S8 so far? It appears that there is a known issue with the screen appearing with a red tinge....haven't checked mine yet :O

http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/mobile-phone/how-fix-galaxy-s8-red-screen-3657760/

Got mine this morning, I love it. A few software differences I'll have to get used to coming from a Nexus 6P but otherwise great.
No red screen tint on mine.

That's good to know. Hopefully its not a UK stock issue. Can't wait to setup mine when I get home :smiley:

s8 plus here all seems fine:)

Has anyone found a screen protector that sticks well to the rounded display?

Didn't receive anything about the mobile care with my delivery. Anyone any idea what we do for that?

most of them are crap. Samsung do an official one though. item number is ET-FG950CTEGWW

I've got this one on mine. It's a pain to actually get on, but once it's on their great. Just be wary when putting a case on it!

Sorry. Here's the link

crap reviews same as the rest of them

search a guy called u droid mania on YouTube he has lots of videos on screen protecters for phones including s8 ....

same

Applied this protector tonight, wasn't as difficult as i thought. Needs the night to dry but looks very good so far.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B06XDNLR4Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Heat added! Not buying it though! Had the same deal for s7 edge last year. Deals like this despite is RRP you don't need to folk out all money at once which means you can use your money better in some ways.

At most is 50-60 odd quid a month less beer and nights out could have cover that makes it more manageable.

Better reviews.

Hows it holding up at edges?

Excellent so far, however not tried a case yet as not found one I like, so can't comment on that. Without a case this is a very good protector hard to tell anything is on screen at all.

This guy on YouTube shows all of the spigan cases: https://youtu.be/gufaeEgYYNo

most of the reviews are fake. put on before the phone was even released

Whats Samsungs returns policy like?

Ive had my s8+ since Friday and not opened it yet as Im not sure I'm going to keep it yet. Id like to try it out though but will they allow me to return if its been used and I've broke the seal?

Ive had a few android phones in the past but currently using a 6+ and this is the only phone which as tempted me away from it.

Is anyone else having any problems with their mobiles ??!! Got my S8+ today and it's giving me a headache with Wifi
I have exclamation mark next to the wifi symbol and no mater what I try it's back. It connects for a short time and as soon as I start going trough apps it starts again. So annoying as all my other devices are connected and work great.
Would greatly appreciate if some one could advise what to do..
Thank you

I know but the one I bought was 5 star then dropped to 2 star on release day. Cant be any worse.

Don't know what it's like but I'll be trying to return my S8 on Monday, got a S8+ from Very with a 20% discount code and wanted the larger phone. I've only opened the outer box not the phone box itself and the returns form is inside so hopefully ok.

Had a Yoontek one of these on my S7 and now have one on my S8+, so far so good and it was excellent on my S7.

Case on today and all good so far

So has anyone got any idea on how we are meant to use this phone insurance? I have received nothing regarding it.

Same. No sign of the phone insurance in the box. Would have thought some kind of paperwork comes with it?

2. It is your responsibility to take reasonable care of the Product(s).

I've emailed them to ask for a return today.

I got an email advising about warranty/insurance...

So have you successfully returned the phone once you have opened and used it? Thinking of getting an S8 and an S8+ and trying them both to see which one I prefer. Then send the other one back.

Interesting. I received no such email. I rang them and it seems they have no clue about this. Anyone else not receive anything about insurance?

I have not received any email either about the mobile care cover.

I've made a support ticket on this subject 3 days ago, apparently they would get back to me within 48hrs. I have to say that preordering a £760 product from a company has meant **** poor service. I barely received anything from the point the of them taking my cash, and I have had no replies to my email.

@tj9at_jp No I've not returned it yet, still waiting to hear back from Samsung on the process. Also I've not opened the phone box itself & used the phone itself. it's completely untouched.

I got told 24 hrs but the same line. What a joke!

So what did they say about insurance when you spoke to them?

I called 0330 726 7864 about the insurance. The guy who answered couldnt help but put me thru to the mobile team who said that I should have got an email. - I never did, so he said he would send another out and would also send the details out via post. Email will take 24 hours, so I will hopefully get it tomorrow.

I also mentioned that the delivery note I got with the phone said Samsung Dream1 (Violet) and not Samsung S8 - he had no idea what that was. Did others get the same ? I was hoping for an invoice with the IMEI number on it in case I need it for insurance next year etc.

update on this. Got my insurance details emailed to me this morning

Hi. I just called Samsung on that number and the lady said that there isn't a specific policy document for the insurance. She said that my invoice was enough. So she's sent me a copy of the invoice and gave me the contact telephone number of the insurance company. Is this the same thing you was sent?

Did the invoice they send state the IMEI number and all that for insurance purposes?

update on the return process. never got a reply to my emails requesting a return authorization so rang up this morning. A Very helpful chap has arranged a courier to come collect the phone and then I/PayPal should get a refund in about 5 days. Fingers crossed.

I got an email which included a policy certificate from Domestic and General. Though, I have not yet received an invoice, so I will be on the phone to them again.

I emailed them this morning, and got my invoice almost immediately via email. It does have the IMEI number on it, so I am now happy everything is in place.

The plot thickens. After calling them a few days ago and being told that my invoice was my policy document, this morning I've received an email from Samsung with my policy document from Legal & General attached.

i have not chased them at all, thought id let it settle down a bit as there seemed to be alot of conflicting reports. I too have just received the policy document from Domestic and General so i guess its all sorted.
