'Spectacular' Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra gets £10 a month price cut
Samsung fans can now get their hands on the Galaxy S25 Ultra for cheaper than ever before Sky is offering a price reduction on two popular Samsung smartphones. The first offer features the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra for £36 a month - a decrease from the original price of £46 a month. Over the course of a 36-month contract, this results in a saving of £360. The second offer is for the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, now available for £18 a month instead of £23 a month. Additionally, this deal includes a complimentary Samsung Watch7. For the 36-month contract duration without data, Galaxy S25 Ultra customers will pay £1,296 in total, while those opting for the Galaxy S24 FE will pay £648. After 24 months, customers are allowed to upgrade their devices. But if you need some alternatives to consider, there's plenty to explore. There's Carphone Warehouse, which has a range of other deals to explore, including Samsung Galaxy phones and Apple iPhones that might have better deals and data for you. And for Apple fans, Giffgaff also has a reasonable monthly price on its iPhone 16 Pro with a £24 a month plan with a slightly more expensive £25 upfront cost if users want to shop around. Upon reviewing the Galaxy S25 Ultra at launch, tech editor Dave Snelling complimented it by saying: "Samsung has done it again and produced another spectacularly good smartphone. The Galaxy S25 Ultra looks great, features a stunning 6.9-inch screen, a brilliant camera, long battery life, and that supremely quick Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. "It also gets all of those Galaxy AI upgrades that can organise your life, retouch your photos, chat to you like a human and bring live football scores straight to the home screen." But David wasn't entirely sold on the AI capabilities. He remarked: "It's all clever stuff, but for some, it might just be a bit too smart. "There's so much Artificial Intelligence now included that it can all feel slightly overwhelming, and only power users (and true AI geeks) are going to get close to scratching the surface of what this device can really do. "That doesn't make this a bad phone. In fact, it's a very good phone. It just feels like all of Samsung's development is going into the software rather than boosting the hardware. Perhaps the AI boom for smartphones is because there's nothing else manufacturers can add or improve. You might ask yourself why you need a new phone at all - they say AI is the answer". Regarding the Galaxy S24 FE, it has received some stellar feedback on the Samsung website. A reviewer enthused: "Everything about this device is flawless. Smooth and vibrant screen. Fabulous camera. "Connects fast and performs like a speedy tank. The battery could be better, but other than that. Flawless phone." Another reviewer gushes: "I love my new phone it charges really quickly and lasts all day. I love the display - I can see every icon and they are easy to find. The camera is fantastic and I love the design of the phone. The performance is amazing, everything is quicker, it's the best phone I've had." However, not everyone is impressed, as one three-star review states: "I like this phone, however, it does require frequent charging and takes far too long to charge at three hours."
