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.

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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

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

@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'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.

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

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?

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.

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

Looks like we should be ok, it seems they have a 28 day returns policy, this is from their shop website:

"1. You may cancel the Contract and return your products for any reason within 28 days of the day you receive the Product(s).

2. It is your responsibility to take reasonable care of the Product(s). The Product(s) must be returned in a reasonable condition along with any packaging, manuals, accessories, free items and any other components. In this case, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Products in accordance with our Returns Policy.

3. To cancel the Contract, you may contact us via our website, by email, by telephoning the Customer Call Centre (details are available here: Contact Us), or by printing out and sending us a completed model cancellation form (available here). You will then be informed of details regarding the collection of the Product(s) from you. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the Products while they are in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we may have a right of action against you for compensation.

4. If you are a consumer you have a statutory right to cancel the Contract within 14 days from delivery of the Product(s). Details of this statutory right and your right to cancel are provided in the Delivery Confirmation and in our Returns Policy. The 28-day right to return described in this section is offered in addition to and does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.

5. If your product is defective, please see the Returns Policy section below."

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

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

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.

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

Case on today and all good so far

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Better reviews.

Hows it holding up at edges?

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.

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

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

crap reviews same as the rest of them

Sorry. Here's the link

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!

https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51fWrl9SHxL._SS60_.jpg

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

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

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

s8 plus here all seems fine:)

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

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.

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/

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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.

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

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.

Did you get a tracking number yet?

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

Just got the email

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.

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

When the Samsung Convertible chargers will be getting shipped ?

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

Did you receive a tracking number?

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.

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

Did you get tracking with the phone?

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.

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

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.

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

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?

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

Shipped

Status - Shipped

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

Hoping it may arrive tomorrow now!

shipped

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

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

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

in progress

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

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?

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.

Same here, still nothing came

fair point

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.

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

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

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

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.

Mine still not processed yet

Around about this time last week.

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

Same here.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Same here

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.

No the 0% finance is still available

The whole thing has expired hasn't it.

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

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

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

Expired

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.

Yeah I'd hold out, see what comes up

3% back from Quidco too

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.

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

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.

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

retention deal?

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

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

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.
[edit_reasons]
[i]Edited By: ktbffh on Apr 12, 2017 09:28:

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

This post is expired.

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

​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.

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!

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

yea its not as good tho.. lol

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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 ...)

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

Samsung are getting desperate for you're cash.

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

+plus it's pay over 24 months spreading cost

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

This has insurance + 2 year normal warranty

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

compared to samsung, yes

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.

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

Bargain... will buy 2!

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...

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?

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.

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

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

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

No, its gonna be around £750-800

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

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

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.

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?

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.

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

Expired

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

Has anyone tried SAMSUNGSAVE799 yet?

expired now

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

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

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.

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

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

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?

Its not fair us gets better offer free gear vr

I do not own any samsung phones so I am not aware if they use this account for deals. I cannot locate any other landing page from this domain.

Any input is appreciated

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

No way.

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.

Not even free

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!!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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".

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

you need to be accepted for credit and once you are you need to complete all info on your paypa accont ie linking phone bank account email address.

PayPal Credit




Big stuff. Small stuff. Spread the cost.

PayPal Credit - for special things and everyday things.



Check out your new credit limit



Welcome to PayPal Credit. You now have access to PayPal Credit which you can use over and over up to your credit limit almost everywhere PayPal is accepted. Your credit limit is £750.00 GBP at the standard variable rate of 17.9% per annum. View your Credit Agreement.

0% for four months - whenever you need it

Every purchase of £150 or more made in a single transaction with PayPal Credit gets 0% interest for four months*. Just remember to keep up your monthly repayments and stay within your credit limit and you can use this as often as you like.

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

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 sure, may save £50 in 6 months time but if you're into flagships then that's not much in the grand scheme!

​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

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.

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

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%

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.

Also £7 TCB

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.

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

...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%

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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...

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

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

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

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

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

What?

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

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.

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

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

Badass

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.

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

edit, didn't see above

Yes they do. 5% with Nationwide.

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

Phone will last longer then holidays.

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 vote hot for the finance deal though

only credit available is PayPal, is that right?

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

Thanks op

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

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.

​Thank you, that seemed to work

£14.98 Quidco tracked for me.

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.

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

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

Tried 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

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

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

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

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

Use a VPN.

Right

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, thanks for letting us know.

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.

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

Yeah but guys 689 for a phone? No way.

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

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

And how do we pay paypal credit every month?

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

Right order placed. But no email confirmation or anything

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

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

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.

Same here codes arent working

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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.

Completely irrelevant. Well done, you!

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.

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.

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

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

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

This 18:9 aspect ratio is awful

18:5.9 included*

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

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.

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

£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.

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...

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

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

£689 for a phone, rather go on holiday.

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

​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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

Make sure you use caps

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.

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

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

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.

those codes didn't work for me (:

Thanks

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

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.

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

Damn!

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

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

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

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.

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.

​thanks corrected

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!

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

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)

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.

Perfect! That works again. Cheers mate.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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).

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.

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

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.

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

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.
