Been following the amazon Italy S8 deals but always had my eye on the s8+ and its now had a big price drop to 699 euros but shows up 693 at checkout! RRP £779
Works out around £24 a month at the usual 24 month contracts add it with a sim only deal such as the 3 12 month £9 unlimited mins, texts and 4gig data and you're looking at £33 a month
- This is sold directly from Amazon Italy so the 24 month warranty will be honoured by them.
- Delivery is estimated at 2-4 weeks, however you are not charged the full amount until dispatch.
Make sure that you select Amazon as the seller, maybe on the right hand side of the screen.
Also when you are at the checkout pay in EUR € using a fee free credit card, and you will get the best price. Be aware that as you are charge on dispatch, if the £/€ goes down it will cost you more. :smiley:

Wow, how is it so cheap? I just received my S8 earlier this week from another deal but it feels a bit too small as I'm used to a larger phone.
This is a perfect deal then but not sure what I should do in regards to my S8. I'd end up losing money if I sold it on eBay and I'm not sure how hard it is to return a used phone to Amazon Italy?

Problem is a lot of these have a pink/red tint to the screen especially around the edges , too much of a risk for me cos if you get one like that (and I reckon it's 50/50 that you will) then it would be hassle sorting it out..
ewen1605 to zAndy1
13 May 17#23
Considering Samsung have sold millions of these already, and "some" users are affected, I highly doubt you have a 50/50 chance of getting a screen with a bad tint.
Samsung have also released a software update that allows you to customise the RGB balance of the AMOLED display.

Nothing about the deal as its a Good deal. I personally, after reading all the issues with the s8 design, going to hold on for a while as it seems the phone is extremly vounerable for the glass to break on the front and back with simplest drop, test companies specilisting writting reports on new devices have mentioned it breaks on the first drop on any side as its all glass. So very soon there be loads of cracked screen s8 around cheap.

Hey guys, my apologies if this has already been asked or answered, but what is the difference in buying it from Samsung as the seller on Amazon?
niktheguru
19 May 17#78
Samsung do not sell their phones direct on amazon. You are either buying it directly from Amazon or from a 3rd party seller. it is advisable only to buy directly from Amazon if buying on their site from europe. You don't know if a third party is truly selling a genuine product regardless of the product description.

Been on chat twice and emailed, they just keep confirming the aim is to deliver it on 30th. Clearly never going to happen as they haven't taken payment and it would take a miracle to deliver it from Italy in 1 working day. I'll go back on chat on Tuesday when it hasn't arrived.
